Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - 162
Treatment: Drugs - Placebo

Experimental: 162 - The dose-escalation stage will be conducted sequentially at 3 dose cohorts, which are 50 mg in the pre-test, 75 mg and 100 mg in the formal test.

Two subjects with chronic HBV infection will be enrolled in the 50 mg dose cohort and all will be given the investigational product 162.

Four subjects with chronic HBV infection will be enrolled in the 75 mg and 100 mg dose cohorts, respectively. Subjects in each cohort will be randomized 3:1 to receive a single ascending dose of investigational product 162 or placebo.

Placebo comparator: Placebo - The dose-escalation stage will be conducted sequentially at 3 dose cohorts, which are 50 mg in the pre-test, 75 mg and 100 mg in the formal test.

Two subjects with chronic HBV infection will be enrolled in the 50 mg dose cohort and all will be given the investigational product 162.

Four subjects with chronic HBV infection will be enrolled in the 75 mg and 100 mg dose cohorts, respectively. Subjects in each cohort will be randomized 3:1 to receive a single ascending dose of investigational product 162 or placebo.


Treatment: Drugs: 162
The investigational product 162 is a novel monoclonal antibody targeting HBsAg.

Treatment: Drugs: Placebo
Placebo do not consist any active ingredients.

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
* 1. Able and willing to provide written informed consent and to comply with the study protocol according to ICH and local regulations.

2. Positive serum HBsAg and/or HBV DNA status for > 6 months prior to screening (two documented positive HBsAg and/or HBV DNA tests at least 6 months apart, one of which is at screening) or previous liver biopsy results with chronic HBV infection.

3. On Nucleos(t)ide analogs therapy for at least 3 months without an interruption of 7 or more consecutive days before the screening, and expected to remain on the same Nucleos(t)ide analogs for the duration of study participation.

4. 500 = HBsAg = 3,000 IU/mL, HBV DNA = 20 IU/mL and ALT = 3×ULN. 5. A male subject must agree to use adequate contraception from screening through at least 24 weeks after the dose of investigational product. Refer to Section 5.5 for more information on highly effective methods of contraception.

6. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test prior to the dosing administration, and agree to use adequate contraception from screening through at least 24 weeks after the dose of investigational product. A female subject of non-childbearing potential will have had at least 12 continuous months of natural (spontaneous) amenorrhoea, follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level > 40 mIU/mL at screening, and an appropriate clinical profile (e.g., age appropriate, history of vasomotor symptoms); or have had surgical bilateral oophorectomy, hysterectomy or bilateral tubal ligation beyond 6 weeks prior to screening. Refer to Section 5.5 for more information on highly effective methods of contraception.
