Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.

The only exception is emergency use of a short course of systemic corticosteroids (equivalent to, or less
than: dexamethasone 40 mg/day for a maximum of 4 days) before treatment

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
