Arms
- Experimental: Cohort 1: TAF + VIR-2218 + SLGN + NivolumabNucleos(t)ide(s) (NUC)-suppressed participants with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) will receive tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) 25 mg orally once daily (QD) for 36 weeks and VIR-2218 200 mg subcutaneously (SC) once every 4 weeks (Q4W) for 24 weeks. From Week 12 onwards, participants will receive selgantolimod (SLGN) 3 mg orally once a week (QW) for 24 weeks and nivolumab 0.3 mg/kg intravenously (IV) Q4W for up to 24 weeks (only up to protocol amendment 2, nivolumab was no longer administered post implementation of protocol amendment 2). Participants who are on TAF treatment will continue TAF treatment over the duration of study follow-up. Participants will be followed up for 48 weeks post treatment.
- Experimental: Cohort 2 Group A: VIR-2218 + SLGN + NivolumabViremic participants with CHB will receive VIR-2218, 200 mg SC Q4W for 24 weeks. From Week 12 onwards, participants will receive SLGN 3 mg orally QW for 24 weeks and nivolumab 0.3 mg/kg IV Q4W for up to 24 weeks (only up to protocol amendment 2, nivolumab was no longer administered post implementation of protocol amendment 2). Participants who meet the criteria to initiate NUC treatment will receive TAF 25, mg orally, QD during the study. Participants will be followed up for 48 weeks post treatment.
- Experimental: Cohort 2 Group B: SLGN + NivolumabViremic participants with CHB will receive SLGN 3 mg orally QW for 24 weeks and nivolumab 0.3 mg/kg IV Q4W for up to 24 weeks. . Viremic participants who meet the criteria to initiate NUC treatment will receive TAF 25 mg orally QD during the study. Participants will be followed up for 48 weeks post treatment. All treatments were administered up to protocol amendment 2 and after the implementation of protocol amendment 2, the treatments were discontinued for Cohort 2 Group B based on Sponsor decision.
