Brief Summary:
The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ASC22 in the treatment of chronic hepatitis B after single and multiple drug administration.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Chronic Hepatitis b Drug: ASC22 Drug: sodium chloride Phase 2

Detailed Description:
The study consists of two parts: the ASC22 single-dose IIa study and the ASC22 multi-dose IIb study. The IIa study consists of 3 cohorts of 0.3mg/kg, 1.0mg/kg and 2.5mg/kg, and the IIb study consists of 2 cohorts of 1.0mg/kg and 2.5mg/kg. The objective is to evaluate the safety, tolerance and efficacy of ASC22 in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB), and to provide a guidance for the determination of dosage regimen.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Evaluate the decreased HBsAg levels at 12 or 24 weeks of treatment or at 4, 12, or 24 weeks of follow-up visits compared with baseline. [ Time Frame: 48 weeks ]
    Each multiple dose cohort will last 48 weeks (24-weeks treatment plus 24-weeks follow up).

  2. Evaluate the number of patients with ≥0.5log reduction in HBsAg log10IU/ mL at 12 or 24 weeks of treatment, or at 4, 12, or 24 weeks of follow-up visits compared with baseline. [ Time Frame: 48 weeks ]
    Each multiple dose cohort will last 48 weeks (24-weeks treatment plus 24-weeks follow up).


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Evaluate the decline value of HBsAg level. [ Time Frame: 48 weeks ]
    Each multiple dose cohort will last 48 weeks (24-weeks treatment plus 24-weeks follow up).

  2. Evaluate the propotion's change of HBsAg < 0.05IU/ml in each cohort. [ Time Frame: 48 weeks ]
    Each multiple dose cohort will last 48 weeks (24-weeks treatment plus 24-weeks follow up).

  3. Evaluate the changes of cytokines (IL-2, IFN-γ) in each cohort. [ Time Frame: 48 weeks ]
    Each multiple dose cohort will last 48 weeks (24-weeks treatment plus 24-weeks follow up).

  4. Evaluate the changes of peripheral blood lymphocyte subsets in each cohort. [ Time Frame: 48 weeks ]
    Each multiple dose cohort will last 48 weeks (24-weeks treatment plus 24-weeks follow up).
