Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - TAF
Treatment: Drugs - TDF
Treatment: Drugs - TAF Placebo
Treatment: Drugs - TDF Placebo

Experimental: TAF 25 mg - TAF + TDF placebo for 96 weeks (per amendment 1 \& 2) or 144 weeks (per amendment 3).

Active comparator: TDF 300 mg - TDF + TAF placebo for 96 weeks (per amendment 1 \& 2) or 144 weeks (per amendment 3).

Experimental: Open-label TAF - All participants who complete the double-blind period (96 weeks or 144 weeks) will be eligible to receive open-label TAF until Week 384 of the study.

After the end of study treatment, participants can either switch to commercially available anti-HBV treatments in their country or will be followed every 4 weeks, for up to 24 weeks off treatment (treatment-free follow-up (TFFU)) for safety assessment.

Summary
Brief 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)-positive chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection.
