-Summary

This is a single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase I clinical trial consisting of two parts. Part 1 includes single ascending dose (SAD) and multiple ascending dose (MAD) cohorts conducted in healthy participants. Part 2 is a multiple ascending dose (MAD) trial enrolling HBeAg-negative chronic hepatitis B (CHB) participants with suppressed HBV DNA under stable nucleos(t)ide analog (NA) therapy.
