• 2.9 Patients with chronic Hepatitis B with evidence of ongoing viral replication (detectable HBsAg, HBeAg, or HBV DNA). They must have HBV DNA viral load \>100 IU/mL at screening.

Note: Concurrent use of hormones for non-cancer-related conditions (e.g., insulin for diabetes and hormone replacement therapy) is acceptable.
• 2.13 Patients who have unresolved toxicities from prior anticancer therapy, defined as having not resolved to NCI CTCAE v 5 \[Appendix 6\] Grade 0 or 1 with the exception of alopecia and laboratory values listed per the inclusion criteria. Note: Subjects with any grade irreversible toxicity that is not reasonably expected to be exacerbated by any of the investigational products may be included (e.g., hearing loss) after consultation with the PI and NU QAM.
