First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This Phase 2 trial tests an injection called AHB-137 in 60 adults with chronic hepatitis B who are already on antiviral pills. The goal is to see if the drug can lower virus levels enough that patients can safely stop all treatment. The study will check if the virus stays undetectable 24 weeks after stopping therapy.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could lead to a new treatment that helps people with chronic hepatitis B stop taking daily antiviral pills while keeping the virus under control.

What could go wrong

This is an early Phase 2 trial with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The drug may not work as hoped, and side effects are still being studied.
