Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the antiviral activity and safety of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) in Asian-American adults (self-reported Asian descent, living in the United States) wi...
Detailed Description
Efficacy of TDF will be evaluated for reductions in serum HBV DNA, changes in liver enzymes, and the generation of antibody to the virus. Safety will be assessed by evaluating adverse events, laborato...
