Brief Summary
Modification(s)  

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) 25 mg QD versus tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) 300 mg QD for the treatment of HBeAg-positive, chronic B at Week 48 in treatment naïve and treatment-experienced subjects. The primary efficacy parameter is the proportion of subjects with plasma HBV DNA levels below 29 IU/mL. To compare the safety and tolerability of TAF 25 mg QD versus TDF 300 mg QD for the treatment of HBeAg-positive, chronic hepatitis B at Week 48 in treatment-naïve and treatment-experienced subjects. To compare the safety of TAF 25 mg QD versus TDF 300 mg QD as determined by the percent change from baseline in hip and spine BMD and in serum creatinine at Week 48.After 144 weeks of blinded randomized treatment (96 weeks under Amendment 1 or 2), each subject will switch to open-label TAF 25 mg QD for up to an additional 240 weeks (Week 144 through Week 384/ED). Subjects already assigned to open-label TAF 25 mg QD at Week 96 per Amendment 1 or 2 will continue on open-label TAF 25 mg QD until Week 384/ED. All subjects who complete the double-blind period of treatment are eligible for participation in the open-label TAF 25 mg QD extension period. Subjects who permanently discontinue study drug(either prematurely [ED] or at the end of study [Week 384]) for reasons other than HBsAg loss with confirmed seroconversion to anti-HBs, will be followed every 4 weeks for 24 weeks off treatment or until initiation of alternative, commercially available HBV therapy, whichever occurs first.
