Summary
Brief summary
The aim of therapy for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) is to maintain
suppression of viral replication to prevent the emergence of complications, which requires
long-term therapy. Durable suppression of viral replication is achieved in the treatment of
chronic viral diseases by preventing of the emergence of drug-resistant mutations. The
clinical guidelines for the management of lamivudine resistant patients are variable. Some
recommend switching to another agent without cross-resistance, while others recommend adding
on another agent without cross-resistance. Limited clinical data exists to demonstrate
whether tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (tenofovir DF; TDF) is an effective monotherapy for
lamivudine resistant patients or if it should be used as part of a combination therapy
regimen.

This study is designed to evaluate the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of tenofovir
DF monotherapy versus emtricitabine (FTC)/tenofovir DF combination therapy in participants
with chronic HBV with lamivudine resistance (presence of the rtM204I/V mutation with or
without the rtL180M mutation) over a 240-week period. Participants in this study must be
receiving lamivudine treatment at the time of enrollment.
