Patients will be monitored per protocol. Antiviral treatment would be instituted if HBV DNA becomes detectable
• If patient's serology shows HBsAg+ at screen or within 3 months prior, patients must have undetectable HBV DNA at screening, must have started highly effective antiviral treatment at least 4 weeks prior to registration, and must have baseline imaging per protocol (patients with cirrhosis are excluded). Patients must remain on antiviral treatment throughout the study. Patients will be monitored per protocol
• Note: presence of hepatitis (Hep) B surface antibody (HBsAb) indicating previous vaccination will not exclude a participant.

Use of bandage contact lenses is allowed for the treatment of corneal epithelial disease as prescribed by an ophthalmologist/eye care professional. No other lifestyle restrictions are required for participants in this study.
