Summary

AB-10-8005 is a single-center, open-label Phase II clinical study to evaluate the antiviral activity and immune responses of AHB-137 injection in participants with CHB treated with nucleos (t) ide analogues.

* History of extrahepatic disease possibly related to HBV immune status;
* Ongoing or taking any immunosuppressive medication within 3 months prior to screening. Those who have used immunomodulators and cytotoxic drugs within 6 months prior to the first dose, or have a history of vaccination within 1 month prior to screening or have a live vaccination plan during the trial; Continuous use of traditional Chinese medicine for more than 2 months within 1 year prior to screening, or within 1 month prior to screening; Ongoing use of anticoagulants, bleeding tendency or coagulopathy, or conditions that, in the opinion of the investigator, increase the risk of liver biopsy;
* Receiving or using any interferon-containing therapy within 12 months prior to screening;
* History of malignancy within 5 years prior to screening or being evaluated for possible malignancy;
* Suspected history of allergy to any component of the study drug, or allergic constitution (multiple drug and food allergy, and judged by the investigator to be clinically significant);
* Major trauma or major surgery within 3 months prior to screening, or planned surgery during the study;
* Donation or blood loss ≥ 400 mL, or received blood transfusion within 12 weeks prior to screening; Or blood donation or blood loss ≥ 200 mL within 1 month prior to screening;
* Participants who are participating in another clinical trial, or have not undergone a protocol-specified washout period prior to this study;
