End point description |
Subject who stopped pegylated interferon (PEG-IFN) treatment during the add-on phase due to serum HBsAg loss and HBsAg seroconversion were considered as responders. ITT population included all subjects who received at least one dose of study drug. Here number of subjects analyzed is total number of subjects who were evaluable for this outcome measure. The Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF) approach was applied to lost-to-follow-up subjects without efficacy measurement at week 48.

29 May 2014 |
1. Amendment was released to recalculate the sample size.
2. This descriptive analysis of the reduction of HBsAg at week 48 was also introduced with the amendment.
3. The amendment also states that subjects with HBsAg loss and seroconversion according to 2012 European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL) Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) Guidelines during the add-on period would stop both PEG-INF and NA treatments, enter the follow-up period and be considered as responders. |
