Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
- Evidence of lamivudine (LVD) resistance

- Subjects must have a history of previous LVD treatment at screening, and must have
evidence of at least 1 LVD resistance substitution (valine, isoleucine, or serine) at
reverse transcriptase codon 204 (M204V/I/S)

- Nucleoside- and nucleotide-naive, except for LVD, and had chronic hepatitis B (HBV)
infection

- Compensated liver function and must have met ALL of the following
criteria:International normalization ratio (INR) = 1.5; Serum albumin = 3 g/dL (= 30
g/L); Serum total bilirubin = 2.5 mg/dL (= 42.75 µmol/L)

- HBV DNA > 1.72 x 10*4* IU/mL (approximately 10*5* copies/mL)

- Documentation of hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) positive and hepatitis B e antibody
(HBeAb) negative status at screening

- alanine aminotransferase (ALT) = 10 * upper limit of normal (ULN) at screening

- Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must be using an adequate method of
contraception to avoid pregnancy throughout the study (and for up to 6 weeks after the
last dose of investigational product) in such a manner that the risk of pregnancy is
minimized

- WOCBP include any female who has experienced menarche and who has not undergone
successful surgical sterilization (hysterectomy, bilateral tubal ligation or bilateral
oophorectomy) or is not postmenopausal. Post menopausal is defined as:

- Women who are using oral contraceptives, other hormonal contraceptives (vaginal
products, skin patches, or implanted or injectable products), or mechanical products
such as an intrauterine device or barrier methods (diaphragm, condoms, spermicides) to
prevent pregnancy, or are practicing abstinence or where partner is sterile (e.g.,
vasectomy), should be considered to be of child bearing potential

- WOCBP must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test (minimum sensitivity 25 IU/L
or equivalent units of human chorionic gonadotropin) within 72 hours prior to the
start of investigational product
Minimum age
16 Years
Maximum age

Key exclusion criteria
- Evidence of decompensated cirrhosis

- Coinfection with human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis C virus , or hepatitis D
virus

- Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding

- Sexually active fertile men not using effective birth control if their partners were
WOCBP

- Laboratory values out of protocol-specified range
