Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - ARB-001467
Other interventions - Placebo

Experimental: 0.2 mg/kg ARB-001467 or Placebo - HBeAg-negative subjects randomized 3:1 to receive ARB-001467 at 0.2 mg/kg versus placebo once a month for 3 months

Experimental: 0.4 mg/kg ARB-001467 or Placebo - HBeAg-negative subjects randomized 3:1 to receive ARB-001467 at 0.4 mg/kg versus placebo once a month for 3 months

Experimental: ARB-001467 or Placebo - HBeAg-positive subjects randomized 3:1 to receive ARB-001467 at 0.4 mg/kg versus placebo once a month for 3 months

Experimental: 0.4 mg/kg ARB-001467 - HBeAg-negative subjects receive ARB-001467 at. 0.4 mg/kg (open label) bi-weekly for 5 treatments and then subjects with HBsAg =1000 IU/mL AND =1.0 log10 decrease from baseline at Day 71 will continue monthly dosing through 48 weeks
