A Study of Hepalatide Combined With TAF and PEG-IFN as Finite Treatment of Chronic Hepatitis B Patients

Hepalatide is a liver-targeted antiviral therapeutic for subcutaneous injection designed to treat chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. The aim of this study is to assess efficacy of a finitie treantment , that combination regimen of hepalatide+half dose Pegylated interferon + TAF , as measured by the primary efficacy endpoint. This study will be conducted in 3 periods: Screening Period (4weeks), Treatment Period (48 weeks) and Follow-up (FU) Period (8 weeks). Safety assessments will include adverse events (AEs), serious AEs, clinical safety laboratory tests, electrocardiograms (ECGs), vital signs, ophthalmologic examinations and physical examinations. Total duration of individual participation will be up to 60 weeks (including screening period).
