Study Arms (2)
Immediate Switch to Brelovitug
EXPERIMENTALParticipants will switch to brelovitug 300 mg once weekly for 96 weeks.
Delayed Switch from Bulevirtide to Brelovitug
EXPERIMENTALParticipants will continue bulevirtide once daily and then switch to brelovitug 300 mg once weekly for 72 weeks.
Interventions
Brelovitug (BJT-778), 300 mg administered subcutaneously once weekly for 96 weeks.
Bulevirtide - once daily. Brelovitug (BJT-778) - 300 mg once weekly for 72 weeks following bulevirtide.

- Male or female, ≥18 years of age at Screening.
- Taking or willing to take TDF, TAF, or ETV at baseline, and willing to remain on stable treatment for the duration of the study.
- Currently taking bulevirtide treatment for CHD for ≥6 months at the time of Screening.
- HDV RNA ≥100 IU/mL at Screening.
You may not qualify if:
- Evidence of decompensated liver disease (e.g., CTP Class B or C, history of hepatic encephalopathy, clinically significant ascites, or variceal bleeding).
- Known history of immune-complex disease.
- Active or clinically significant co-infection with hepatitis C virus (HCV) or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
