Long-term Follow-up Study to Evaluate Durability of Treatment Response in Previous Bepirovirsen Study Participants (B-Sure)

This is a global multi-center, long-term follow-up study to assess durability of efficacy, as measured by maintenance of treatment response from the parent study, in participants who participated in a previous bepirovirsen study and achieved a complete or partial response. Eligible participants will be enrolled in this study after completing the end of study (EoS) visit in the respective parent bepirovirsen studies (studies B-Clear [209668: NCT04449029], B-Together [209348: NCT04676724], B-Fine [212602: NCT04544956], B-Well 1 [202009: NCT05630807], B-Well 2 [219288: NCT05630820], and TH HBV ASO-001 [217023: NCT05276297]). Participants will be categorized as Not-on-NA, NA-cessated, or On-NA based on their nucleos(t)ide analogue (NA) status in the parent study. No further treatment with bepirovirsen will be administered in this study.

  • Any condition which, in the opinion of the investigator or Medical Monitor, contraindicates their participation in this study.

Treatment and study plan

Bepirovirsen

Drug

No study drug will be administered in this study. Eligible participants who received prior treatment with bepirovirsen in the parent studies will be included.

Placebo

Drug

No study drug will be administered in this study. Eligible participants who received prior treatment with placebo in the parent studies (209668, 202009, and 219288) will be included to maintain the blind in the still ongoing parent studies.
