What this study is

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if HEPLISAV-B, a vaccine that is approved to prevent hepatitis B infection in people that are not already infected, is safe in people already chronically infected with hepatitis B. The main quiestions it aims to answer are:

1. Is HEPLISAV-B safe in people with chronic hepatitis B? 2. What side effects, if any, could HEPLISAV-B cause in people with chronic hepatitis B? 3. How does HEPLISAV-B affect the cells that fight chronic hepatitis B?
