Brief Summary
This is a study of the efficacy and safety of peginterferon alfa-2a (Pegasys) in naive, interferon- or lamivudine-pretreated participants with HBeAg-positive chronic HBV. Following 48 weeks treatment, there will be a 24 week period of treatment-free follow-up. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.

Study Arms (3)
Group A (Naïve Participants)
EXPERIMENTALParticipants who never received any HBV treatment, will receive peginterferon alfa-2a (180 micrograms \[mcg\]) subcutaneously once weekly for 48 weeks.
Group B (Conventional Interferon Pretreated Participants)
EXPERIMENTALParticipants who received conventional interferon treatment and had relapse or did not respond, will receive peginterferon alfa-2a (180 mcg) subcutaneously once weekly for 48 weeks.
Group C (Lamivudine Pretreated Participants)
EXPERIMENTALParticipants who received lamivudine and had relapse or did not respond, will receive peginterferon alfa-2a (180 mcg) subcutaneously once weekly for 48 weeks.
Interventions
Peginterferon alfa-2a will be administered at a dose of 180 mcg subcutaneously once weekly for 48 weeks.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Adult participants between 18 to 65 years of age
