Treatment response for a subset of subjects from Studies 102 and 103 previously treated with LAM) was compared to subjects naïve to LAM in these two pivotal studies. Methods: These double-blind studies randomized mono-infected subjects with HBeAg positive (+) or HBeAg negative (-) chronic hepatitis B (CHB) in a 2:1 ratio to TDF or ADV. Entry criteria included 18–69 years of age, compensated liver disease, a Knodell necroinflammatory score≥3, ALT >2xULN (HBeAg+)…
