Study to Compare Tenofovir Alafenamide (TAF) Versus Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate (TDF) in Participants With Chronic Hepatitis B Infection Who Are Negative for Hepatitis B e Antigen

Summary

The primary objective of this study is to compare the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) versus tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) in treatment-naive and treatment-experienced adults with hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)-negative chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection.
