Objectives
EFFICACY OBJECTIVES
The primary efficacy objective for this study is as follows:
• To evaluate the efficacy of Pegasys® + lamivudine compared with an untreated
control in children with CHB, as measured by loss of HBsAg 24 weeks post-end of
treatment/end of untreated observation
The secondary efficacy objectives for this study are as follows:
• To evaluate efficacy of Pegasys® + lamivudine compared with an untreated control in
children with CHB, as measured by seroconversion to anti-HBs, seroconversion to
anti-HBe, loss of HBeAg, and HBV DNA levels, at 24 weeks post-end of
treatment/end of untreated observation
• To evaluate efficacy of Pegasys® + lamivudine in children with CHB, as measured by
seroconversion to anti-HBs, seroconversion to anti-HBe, loss of HBsAg, loss of
HBeAg, HBV DNA levels, and at 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 years post-end of treatment
SAFETY OBJECTIVES
The safety objectives for this study are as follows:
• To evaluate the safety of the Pegasys® + lamivudine group compared with untreated
control group in children with CHB, by assessment of adverse events (including
neurological and psychiatric events), laboratory test results (including thyroid
function), vital signs and growth, up to 24 weeks post-end of treatment/end of
untreated observation
• To evaluate the longer-term safety of Pegasys® + lamivudine in children with CHB,
by assessment of adverse events, thyroid function and growth during a further
4.5−year long-term follow-up

Endpoints
Primary Outcome Measures :
1. Percentage of Participants With Loss of Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBsAg) at 24 Weeks Post-End of Treatment/End of Untreated Observation [ Time Frame: 24 weeks post-treatment/at the end of untreated observation (Week 80) ]
This endpoint is defined as loss of HBsAg at 24 weeks post-treatment (follow-up Week 24)/end of untreated observation (Week 80). The percentage of responders (response rate) and 95% CI (using the Clopper-Pearson method) for the response rate are presented for each group.
