The purpose of this study was to determine the safety and anti-hepatitis B virus (-HBV) activity of ACH-126,443 in comparison to lamivudine or placebo in treatment-naive adults with chronic hepatitis B infection.
Evaluation of the safety and antiviral activity of 3 dose levels of ACH-126,443 versus lamivudine and placebo over 12 weeks of treatment in the population is described.
