Summary

This study tested whether a new drug called ARC-520, given with the standard medicine entecavir, could lower hepatitis B virus levels in people with chronic hepatitis B. About 58 adults with different stages of infection received either ARC-520 or a placebo. The study was stopped early, but it aimed to see how much and how long the virus surface antigen stayed reduced.
