Description of intervention(s) / exposure
This Phase 1b study is the first study of CLB-3000, a bivalent subunit vaccine adjuvanted with Alhydrogel®, in participants with chronic hepatitis B (CHB).
Investigational Product: CLB-3000 (a bivalent, subunit vaccine comprised of CLB-405 and CLB-505 adjuvanted with Alhydrogel)

Route of Administration: Intramuscular Injection by study staff at the clinic
Study Duration: Approximately 11 months, including up to 28 days in screening, 5 monthly injections of study drug at Days 0, 30, 60, 90, 120 and a 6-month follow-up period through Day 300.
This study is designed to assess the safety, tolerability, immunogenicity, and antiviral activity of repeated administration of two dose levels of CLB-3000 in adults with CHB taking stable doses of standard of care nucleoside/nucleotide analogues (NUCs) for viral suppression. . Patients will be enrolled in one cohort only. Dose levels planned are CLB-3000 200 µg and CLB-3000 500 µg with a separate optional expansion cohort at the highest dose studied as the third cohort.
The highest dose will be 500 µg for the study. That will be the dose studied in Cohort 2 and in the expansion cohort unless a lower dose is indicated based on ongoing review of safety data.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 334907 0
To evaluate the safety and tolerability of escalating dose levels of CLB-3000 given as 5 monthly Intramuscular injections in noncirrhotic adults with CHB on stable doses of NUCs

Assessments will be done via:
• Incidence, severity, and causal relationship of adverse events (AEs), including adverse events of special interest (AESI). Adverse events will be assessed by clinical examination, review of participant daily diary data and self-report. Injection site reaction reports will include measurements of redness and swelling and presence of pain or itch.
• Changes in clinical laboratory safety parameters including blood test results for hematology and chemistry.
• Changes in vital signs measurements. Vital signs will include measurements of resting heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure (BP) assessed by sphygmomanometer, respiratory rate, and body temperature.
• Changes in electrocardiogram (ECG) findings

The study population allows for the inclusion of subjects with all possible HBV genotypes

Study details
This is a Phase 1b, open-label, multicenter, multiple-dose study of Intramuscular (IM) administration of CLB-3000 in noncirrhotic subjects with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) on stable doses of NUCs at study.
This study is designed to assess the safety, tolerability, immunogenicity, and antiviral activity of repeated administration of multiple dose levels of CLB-3000 in adults with Chronic Hepatitis B taking stable doses of standard of care nucleoside/nucleotide analogues (NUCs) for viral suppression.
Eligible participants will receive 5 monthly Intramuscular (IM) injections of CLB-3000 on Days 1, 30, 60, 90, and 120.
The end of the study is defined as the last subject last visit at Day 300. The estimated duration of the study is approximately 11 months (28-day Screening period, 150-day Treatment period, and 150-day Safety follow-up period).
