Brief summary:
The primary objective of this study is to compare the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) versus tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) in treatment-naive and treatment-experienced adults with hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)-positive chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in China.

Detailed description:
This study GS-US-320-0110 is an international study planned to enroll participants in global countries, including China. However, due to the review timeline difference in China, full enrollment was reached in the main study (NCT01940471) before China was able to participate. Therefore, this registration only includes the China cohorts as they were not part of the main study analysis. Data for China cohorts were analyzed separately after the main study analysis was completed.

Arms: arm 1: Tenofovir alafenamide (Vemlidy®; TAF) 25 mg tablet + tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (Viread®; TDF) placebo tablet once daily for up to 144 weeks (per amendment 3.1). arm 2: TDF 300 mg tablet + TAF placebo tablet once daily for up to 144 weeks (per amendment 3.1). arm 3: All participants who complete the double-blind period will be eligible to receive open-label TAF until Week 384 of the study.
Interventions: intervention 1: TAF intervention 2: TDF intervention 3: TAF Placebo intervention 4: TDF Placebo
Intervention descriptions: intervention 1: TAF 25 mg tablet administered orally once daily intervention 2: TDF 300 mg tablet administered orally once daily intervention 3: TAF placebo tablet administered orally once daily intervention 4: TDF placebo tablet administered orally once daily

The key secondary efficacy objective of this study is as follows:

To compare the serological response (loss of HBeAg with 
seroconversion to anti-HBe) of TAF 25 mg QD versus TDF 
300 mg QD for the treatment of HBeAg-positive, chronic 
hepatitis B at Week 48
Other secondary objectives of this study are as follows:

To compare the efficacy of TAF 25 mg QD versus TDF 300 mg
QD for the treatment of HBeAg-positive, chronic hepatitis B in
regard to the proportion of subjects with plasma HBV DNA
levels below 29 IU/mL at Weeks 96, and 144

To compare the efficacy of TAF 25 mg QD versus TDF 300 mg
QD for the treatment of HBeAg-positive, chronic hepatitis B in
regard to the proportion of subjects with plasma HBV DNA
levels below 29 IU/mL (target not detected) at 
Weeks 48, 96, and 144

To compare the biochemical (ALT normalization) response of 
TAF 25 mg QD versus TDF 300 mg QD for the treatment of 
HBeAg-positive, chronic hepatitis B at Weeks 48, 96, and 144

To compare the serological response (loss of HBeAg with 
seroconversion to anti-HBe) of TAF 25 mg QD versus TDF 
300 mg QD for the treatment of HBeAg-positive, chronic 
hepatitis B at Weeks 96, and 144

To compare the serological response (loss of HBsAg with 
seroconversion to anti-HBs) of TAF 25 mg QD versus TDF 
300 mg QD for the treatment of HBeAg-positive, chronic 
hepatitis B at Weeks 48, 96, and 144

To compare the change in fibrosis as assessed by FibroTest® of 
TAF 25 mg QD versus TDF 300 mg QD for the treatment of 
HBeAg-positive, chronic hepatitis B at Weeks 48, 96, and 144

To compare the incidence of drug resistant mutations of TAF 
25 mg QD versus TDF 300 mg QD at Weeks 48, 96, and 144

To compare the change from baseline, in ophthalmologic 
findings by fundoscopic examination of TAF 25 mg QD versus 
TDF 300 mg QD at Weeks 24, 48, 72, 96, and 144 in a subset 
of subjects


To characterize the pharmacokinetics of TAF and tenofovir 
(TFV) and determine intracellular concentrations of tenofovir 
diphosphate (TFV-DP) within peripheral blood mononuclear 
cells (PBMCs) in subjects receiving TAF or TDF

To evaluate the comparative open label efficacy, safety, and 
incidence of drug resistance mutations of TAF 25 mg QD in 
subjects initially randomized to TAF 25 mg QD and in subjects 
sequentially treated with TDF 300 mg QD and then switched to 
open label TAF 25 mg QD
Study Design:
This is a randomized, double-blind, non-inferiority study to 
compare the antiviral activity of TAF 25 mg QD versus TDF 
300 mg QD. Approximately 864 subjects will be randomized in a 
2:1 ratio (A:B) to the treatment arms and will be stratified by 
plasma HBV DNA level (≥ 8 log10 IU/mL vs. < 8 log10 IU/mL) and 
oral antiviral treatment status (treatment-naïve vs. 
treatment-experienced).
Treatment Arm A: 576 subjects TAF 25 mg QD and matched 
placebo of TDF 300 mg QD
Treatment Arm B: 288 subjects TDF 300 mg QD and matched 
placebo of TAF 25 mg QD
For China, approximately 150 additional subjects 
(100 in Treatment Arm A and 50 in Treatment Arm B) will be 
enrolled for local registration purposes.
The duration of double-blind treatment is 144 weeks (96 weeks 
under Amendment 2.1). All subjects who complete the double-blind 
period of treatment are eligible for participation in the open label 
TAF 25 mg extension period for an additional 240 weeks 
(through Week 384/ED). Subjects already assigned to open label 
TAF 25 mg QD at Week 96 per Amendment 2.1 will continue on 
open label TAF 25 mg QD through Week 384/ED. For the entire 
duration of the study, subjects and investigators will remain blinded 
to the initial treatment regimen to which they were randomized. 
Subjects with a confirmed creatinine clearance (CLCr) < 50 ml/min 
and > 20 % decline in eGFR by CKD-EPI (cystatin C), at any time 
during the double blind period of the study will be required to 
undergo dose modification to every other day dosing of study drug. 
Subjects with confirmed creatinine clearance < 30 ml/min at any 
time during the study will have the study drug permanently 
discontinued.

The primary analysis will occur at Week 48 with the primary 
efficacy endpoint being the proportion of subjects with complete 
viral suppression, i.e., plasma HBV DNA level below 29 IU/mL. 
Subjects who permanently discontinue study drug 
(either prematurely or at the end of study [Week 384]) for reasons 
other than HBsAg loss with confirmed seroconversion to anti-HBs
will be followed every 4 weeks for 24 weeks off treatment or until 
initiation of alternative, commercially available HBV therapy, 
whichever occurs first. Use of commercialized therapy is strongly 
encouraged.
Subjects with HBsAg loss, with confirmed seroconversion to 
anti-HBs should discontinue study drug within 3-6 months 
following confirmation of seroconversion to anti-HBs. Subjects 
with HBsAg loss with confirmed seroconversion to anti-HBs prior 
to Week 48 are not permitted to discontinue study drug prior to the 
Week 48 visit. Subjects who discontinue study drug for confirmed 
seroconversion to anti-HBs will be followed off treatment every 
4 weeks for 12 weeks and then per the study visit schedule 
(Appendix 2) through Week 384/ED. Discontinuation of study drug 
for subjects experiencing HBsAg loss with confirmed 
seroconversion, who have known bridging fibrosis or cirrhosis, 
should be considered on a case by case basis.
An external independent multidisciplinary Data Monitoring 
Committee (DMC) will review the progress and safety of this study 
approximately every 24 weeks following randomization of the first 
subject during the double blind period of the study. During the 
open-label duration of the study (Weeks 144 to 384), the DMC will 
convene approximately every 48 weeks. At each meeting, the DMC 
will review routine safety and dual energy x-ray absorptiometry 
(DXA) data, and will make recommendations regarding 
modification of the study treatment.
Number of Subjects 
Planned:
864 subjects (576 subjects TAF 25 mg QD and matched placebo of 
TDF 300 mg QD, and 288 subjects TDF 300 mg QD and matched 
placebo of TAF 25 mg QD). 
For China, approximately 150 additional subjects (100 subjects 
TAF 25 mg QD and matched placebo of TDF 300 mg QD, and 
50 subjects TDF 300 mg QD and matched placebo of 
TAF 25 mg QD) will be enrolled.
Target Population:

assigned to open label TAF 25 mg QD at Week 96 per 
Amendment 2.1 will continue on open label TAF 25 mg QD 
through Week 384/ED. Subjects who lose HBsAg with confirmed
seroconversion to anti-HBs should discontinue study drug within 
3-6 months following confirmation of seroconversion to anti-HBs,

Study Procedures/
Frequency:
Laboratory analyses (serum chemistry, liver tests, hematology, 
urinalysis, plasma HBV DNA levels, pregnancy testing [for females 
of childbearing potential]), vital signs, adverse events and 
concomitant medications will be performed at Screening, Baseline, 
and every 4 weeks thereafter through Week 48, every 8 weeks 
through Week 96, every 12 weeks through Week 144, and every 
24 weeks through Week 384/Early Discontinuation (ED) visit.
HBV serology (HBeAg, reflex HBeAb, HBsAg and reflex HBsAb) 
will be performed at Screening and Baseline, and every 
12 to 16 weeks until Week 144, and every 24 weeks through 
Week 384/ED and at Follow up Weeks 12 and 24. Quantitative 
serum HBsAg will be assessed at Screening, Baseline, every 
12-16 weeks until Week 144, every 24 weeks until Week 384/ED, 
and at Follow Up visits. Bone and renal biomarker testing will be 
performed at Baseline and then at defined intervals (see Schedule of 
Assessments, Appendix 2) throughout the study. IL28B 
polymorphism genotype, HBV genotyping and vitamin D 
assessments will be performed at Baseline only. Fibrotest® will be
performed at Baseline and every 48 weeks until Week 384/ED. 
Fasting metabolic assessments (fasting glucose and lipid panel) will 
be conducted at Baseline, every 24 weeks until Week 240, and 
every 48 weeks until Week 384/ED visit.
Complete physical examinations will be performed at Screening, 
Baseline, Weeks 24, 48, 72, 96, and 144 and every 48 weeks until 
Week 384/ED. Height assessment will be conducted at Screening 
only. Symptom directed physical exams with body weight 
assessment will be conducted at all other visits. ECG will be 
performed at Screening and every 48 weeks thereafter. At sites in 
China with the capability only, DXA scans of the hip and spine will 
be conducted during the screening period, and should be conducted 
at least 14 days prior to the first dose of study drug, and will be 
subsequently conducted at Weeks 24, 48, 72, 96, 144, and every 
48 weeks until Week 384/ED visit (if not done within the last 
24 weeks of this visit). Hepatic ultrasound for surveillance of 
hepatocellular carcinoma will be performed starting at Week 96 and 
then every 24 weeks until Week 384/ED.

Genotypic analysis of the HBV polymerase/reverse transcriptase 
(pol/RT) for resistance surveillance will be perfonned at Baseline 
for all subjects and attempted for all viremic subjects (HBV DNA 
69 IU/mL) at Weeks 48, 96, 144 and every 48 weeks until 
Week 384/ ED. As it may not be known at the time of the visit 
whether a patient is viremic or if it will be their last study visit, a 
separate virology sample for potential resistance surveillance will 
be collected at each study visit. Plasma, serum, and urine will be 
collected at Baseline and at every visit thereafter for storage. 
A single phannacokinetic (PK) blood sample will be collected at all 
study visits Weeks 4 through 48 for all subjects. At the 
Week 4 and 12 visits, dosing will occur in-clinic and a single PK 
blood sample will be collected between 15 minutes and 4 hours 
post-dose. It is preferred that subjects take their study drug 
according to a morning dosing schedule; however, evening dosing 
is allowable. Subjects who elect to dose in evening are not required 
to have in-clinic dosing and the single PK blood sample collection 
at the Week 4 and 12 visits.

Criteria for Evaluation:
Safety:
Key secondary safety endpoints include the percent change from 
baseline at Week 48 in hip and spine BMD, and change from 
baseline at Week 48 in serum creatinine.
If a subject has confirmed creatinine clearance (CLCr) < 50 ml/min 
and > 20% decline in eGFR by CKD-EPI (cystatin C), at any time 
during the double-blind period of the study, the subject will be 
required to undergo dose modification to every other day dosing of 
study drug. Subjects with confirmed creatinine clearance 
< 30 ml/min at any time during the study will have the study drug 
permanently discontinued.
The proportion of subjects in each treatment arm with tolerability 
failure (defined as an adverse event [AE] leading to permanent 
discontinuation of study drug) at Weeks 48, 96, 144, 240 and 384
will be summarized. Change from baseline in serum creatinine will
be assessed at every visit and summarized through Week 384. 
Change from baseline in BMD by DXA of the spine and hip will be 
assessed at Weeks 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144, and every 48 weeks 
until 384/ED. 
Ophthalmologic changes from baseline by fundoscopic examination 
at Weeks 24, 48, 72, 96 and 144 (or ED if prior to Week 144 and 
more than 24 weeks since the last exam) will be summarized for a 
subset of subjects (n=30). In addition, for any subject who develops 
signs or symptoms of posterior uveitis, the investigator should 
contact the Gilead Medical Monitor to discuss the need for 
additional ophthalmologic evaluation including dilated fundoscopy 
and optical coherence tomography (OCT).
Adverse events and clinical laboratory tests will be collected at 
every visit and summarized through Week 144. Additionally, 
summaries of AEs, discontinuations due to AEs, and laboratory 
data including BMD measurements (via DXA scans, serum
creatinine, and creatinine clearance by Cockcroft-Gault) by original 
treatment arms (TAF versus TDF) will continue through Week 384.
Fracture risk assessment will be evaluated at Baseline. In China, 
this fracture risk assessment will be evaluated at sites with DXA 
capability only.

Statistical Methods:
The primary analysis will be performed when approximately
864 subjects complete 48 weeks of the double-blind treatment 
period or discontinue prematurely. The analysis will compare the 
TAF arm to the TDF arm.
Analysis Methods:
A two-sided 95% confidence interval (CI), based on large sample 
theory adjusted for the randomization stratification factors, for the 
difference (TAF-TDF) between treatments will be used to compare 
treatment groups with respect to the primary efficacy endpoint. A 
missing equals to failure approach will be employed for the primary 
analysis. Non-inferiority will be declared if the lower bound of this 
confidence interval exceeds 0.10 (i.e., 10% non-inferiority 
margin). If non-inferiority is established, the lower bound of the 
95% CI will be compare to 0; if the lower bound of the 95% CI is 
greater than 0, then superiority of TAF over TDF will be 
established using the same CI.
The percent change from baseline in hip and spine BMD at 
Week 48 will be analyzed using an analysis of variance (ANOVA)
model. The model will include treatment group as a fixed effect.
The details are provided in the Statistical Analysis Plan (SAP).
The change from baseline in serum creatinine at Week 48 will be 
analyzed using an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model with 
baseline serum creatinine as a covariate, and treatment group as a 
fixed effect. The details are provided in the SAP.
All secondary continuous endpoints will be summarized using an 
8-number summary (n, mean, standard deviation, median, Q1, Q3, 
minimum, and maximum). All categorical secondary endpoints will 
be summarized by number and percentage of subjects who meet the 
endpoint.

Sample Size:
With respect to the primary efficacy endpoint of proportion of 
subjects with plasma HBV DNA levels below 29 IU/mL at 
Week 48, when the sample sizes are 576 (TAF 25 mg arm) and 
288 (TDF 300 mg arm), a two-group, large-sample normal 
approximation test of proportions with a one-sided 0.025 
significance level will have 84% power to reject the null 
hypothesis, that the TAF 25 mg arm is inferior to the TDF 300 mg 
arm (the difference in proportions [TAF-TDF] having a lower 
bound of the one-sided 97.5% confidence interval of less than 
0.10, ie, 10%) in favor of the alternative hypothesis that the TAF 
25 mg arm is not inferior to the TDF 300 mg arm. This assumes the 
expected difference (TAF-TDF) in proportion of subjects with 
HBV DNA < 29 IU/mL is 0 and the proportion of subjects with 
HBV DNA < 29 IU/mL in the TDF 300 mg arm is 0.69. 
The TDF virologic rate of 0.69 was calculated using the observed 
rate in Study GS-US-174-0103. 
This sample size also provides at least 90% power to detect a 
1% difference in the percent change from baseline in hip BMD at 
Week 48 (assuming a 1.17% change from baseline in the TDF 
300 mg arm and 0.17% change from baseline in the TAF 25 mg 
arm, with a common standard deviation of 2.20% and a two-sided 
α = 0.025); at least 90% power to detect a 1% difference in the 
percentage change from baseline in spine BMD at Week 48 
(assuming a 1.69% change from baseline in the TDF 300 mg arm 
and 0.69% change in the TAF 25 mg arm, with a common 
standard deviation of 3.08% and a two-sided α = 0.025); at least 
85% power to detect a 0.03 mg/dL difference in the change from 
baseline in serum creatinine at Week 48 (assuming a 0.04 mg/dL 
change from baseline in the TDF 300 mg arm and 0.01 mg/dL 
change from baseline in the TAF 25 mg arm, with a common 
standard deviation of 0.12); and 16% power to detect a 
4% difference in HBeAg seroconversion rate (assuming a 
19% HBeAg seroconversion rate in the TDF arm and 23% HBeAg 
seroconversion rate in the TAF arm). These assumptions were 
derived from studies GS-98-437, GS-98-438, GS-US-174-0102, 
GS-US-174-0103, and GS-US-174-0121.
For China, approximately 150 additional subjects (100 subjects 
TAF 25 mg QD and matched placebo of TDF 300 mg QD, and 
50 subjects TDF 300 mg QD and matched placebo of 
TAF 25 mg QD) will be enrolled.
This study will be conducted in accordance with the guidelines of Good Clinical Practice (GCP) 
including archiving of essential documents.

INTRODUCTION
1.1.
Background
Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) is a serious global health care problem and one of the principal causes 
of chronic liver disease, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Of the estimated 
2 billion people worldwide who have been acutely infected with the hepatitis B virus (HBV), 
approximately 400 million have developed CHB, and approximately 1 million people die 
annually from complications of CHB {World Health Organization (WHO) 2000}. Despite the 
availability of HBV vaccine programs in many countries, new HBV infections are still common 
even in areas of low endemicity. For example, approximately 80,000 people in the United States 
(US) become acutely infected each year, according to an estimate from the Centers for Disease 
Control and Prevention {Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) 2003}. Following 
acute HBV infection, approximately 5% to 10% of adults and up to 90% of children fail to 
produce an immune response adequate to clear the infection; these individuals become chronic 
carriers of the virus {Zuckerman 1996}.
Chronic hepatitis B has a broad clinical spectrum, ranging from asymptomatic, slowly 
progressive illness to severe, and more rapidly progressive liver disease. Chronic hepatitis B may 
remain quiescent for many years and represent a risk factor for progression to cirrhosis, liver 
failure, and death within a few years. Approximately 25% of subjects with CHB will ultimately 
develop serious liver disease such as hepatic decompensation, cirrhosis, or HCC {Zuckerman 
1996}. The development of nucleos(t)ide analogues has been a major breakthrough for the 
treatment of CHB, providing effective suppression of viral replication and reducing the risk of 
long term complications. However, if viral replication resumes as a result of resistance mutation 
development, the clinical benefit is lost. The rate of resistance development in treatment-naive 
subjects varies depending on the treatment: up to 70% after 4 years with lamivudine (LAM), up 
to 29% after 5 years with adefovir dipivoxil (ADV), 25%/11% in hepatitis B e antigen 
positive/negative (HBeAg+/) subjects after 2 years with telbivudine (LdT), and 1.2% after 
5 years with entecavir (ETV). To date, resistance to TDF has not been documented {Marcellin 
2011}.
Tenofovir DF (Viread®) 300 mg once daily was first approved for the treatment of CHB in 
Turkey on 28 March 2008, and is currently approved in 101 countries, including the US, Canada, 
and Europe. Approval of TDF for CHB was based primarily on 48 week data from 
375 adult subjects with HBeAg  CHB and 266 subjects with HBeAg+ CHB who enrolled in the 
similarly designed pivotal studies GS-US-174-0102 (HBeAg  subjects) and GS-US-174-0103 
(HBeAg+ subjects). In study GS-US-174-0102, TDF 300 mg once daily was shown to be 
superior to ADV 10 mg once daily for the treatment of HBeAg/antibody to hepatitis B e antigen 
(anti-HBe)-positive (presumed precore mutant) chronic HBV infection. At 48 weeks, 70.8% of 
subjects in the TDF group (n = 250) had a complete response (plasma HBV deoxyribonucleic 
acid [DNA] < 69 IU/mL [400 copies/mL] and histologic improvement characterized by ≥2 point 
reduction in the Knodell necroinflammatory score and no worsening of Knodell fibrosis), 
compared to 48.8% of subjects in the ADV group (n = 125; p < 0.001) {Marcellin 2007}.

In study GS-US-174-0103 (HBeAg+ subjects), at 48 weeks, 66.5% of subjects in the TDF group 
(n = 176) had a complete response, compared to 12.2% in the ADV group (n = 90; p < 0.001) 
{Heathcote 2007}. Subjects in both studies who completed the 48-week double-blind treatment 
period (including the end-of-blinded-treatment biopsy) were eligible to continue in an open-label 
(OL) extension phase consisting of treatment with TDF up to Week 480 (Year 10). 
In both Phase 3 studies, for viremic subjects originally randomized to ADV, who rolled over to 
open-label TDF at Week 48, HBV DNA values decreased sharply during the first 16 weeks of 
TDF therapy. At Week 96, the percentages of subjects with plasma HBV DNA < 400 copies/mL 
were not significantly different between treatment groups in both studies. Viral suppression was 
maintained through Week 240 of these 2 pivotal studies in those subjects receiving continued 
treatment with TDF for 240 weeks (TDFTDF group), and in those who received 192 weeks of 
TDF treatment following an initial 48 weeks of treatment with ADV (ADVTDF group). Based 
on results from a pooled histology analysis at Year 5 for these 2 studies, 96.2% of subjects on 
open-label TDF-experienced either improvement or no change in fibrosis (by Ishak fibrosis 
scoring). Further, of the 96 subjects with cirrhosis at baseline (Ishak fibrosis score 5-6), 
25% experienced no change in Ishak fibrosis score while 73% experienced reversal of cirrhosis 
by Week 240 with a reduction in Ishak fibrosis score of at least 2 points (missing = excluded 
[M=E], data after addition of emtricitabine [FTC] included) {Marcellin 2013}. Importantly, viral 
suppression (HBV DNA < 69 IU/mL or < 400 copies/mL was documented in 330/334 (99%) of 
subjects with available histology who were maintained on therapy with an available HBV DNA 
measurement at Week 240. No mutations associated with TDF resistance developed in subjects 
treated with TDF for up to 5 years in the pivotal studies.{Marcellin 2013} No phenotypic 
resistance to TDF has been observed among subjects with virologic breakthrough or who 
developed conserved-site changes in the HBV polymerase (pol)/reverse transcriptase (RT) 
during TDF treatment for up to 5 years. Continued treatment with TDF for 5 years revealed no 
new adverse reactions inconsistent with the known safety profile of TDF. Importantly, these 
results demonstrate that achievement and maintenance of long term viral suppression with TDF 
translates into a histological benefit (i.e. fibrosis regression) in the majority of subjects.
While liver biopsy provides important information regarding severity of necroinflammatory 
activity and fibrosis in diseases such as CHB, it is no longer considered routine in clinical 
practice for ongoing disease monitoring, and the procedure itself is challenging to perform within 
the context of clinical trials. Additionally, liver biopsy is costly and limited by sampling error as 
well as patient reluctance to undergo this invasive procedure. With the availability of 
non-invasive tests, including FibroTest® (also known as FibroSURE in the U.S.) and Fibroscan®, 
which have been shown to correlate with histology in liver diseases such hepatitis B {Poynard 
2005}, hepatitis C {Ngo 2006}, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease {Poynard 2007}, the need 
for liver biopsy has been largely replaced, particularly for ongoing monitoring of changes in 
fibrosis.
Tenofovir DF is also approved worldwide in many markets for administration in combination 
with other antiretroviral agents for treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 
infection (first approval in 2001). TDF is also a component of Truvada®
(FTC 200 mg/TDF 300 mg), a marketed fixed-dose combination product for treatment of HIV-1 
infection in combination with other antiretroviral agents. More recently, TDF has been included

in single tablet regimens (STRs) for treatment of HIV infection. Three STRs are currently 
approved for once-daily administration in the treatment of HIV-1 infection, efavirenz 
(EFV)/FTC/TDF (Atripla®), FTC/rilpivirine (RPV)/TDF (Complera®/Eviplera), and more 
recently, elvitegravir (E)/cobicistat (C)/emtricitabine (F)/TDF (Stribild™). The newly approved 
Stribild™STR tablet, which contains a fixed-dose combination of E/C/F/TDF 
(150/150/200/300 mg), has been approved in the United States by the Food and Drug 
Administration (FDA) for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in treatment-naïve adults. E/C/F/TDF 
is the first approved STR that combines an integrase strand transfer inhibitor (elvitegravir) with a 
nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) backbone into a once-daily tablet. Since Viread 
was first marketed on 31 October 2001, the overall exposure to TDF upto 31-May 2013 from 
branded Viread®, Truvada®, Atripla®, Complera® and Stribild®, combined upto 31 May 2013, is 
estimated to be in excess of 6 million patient years.
TDF is a preferred oral N(t)RTIs for treatment of CHB infection by all current treatment 
guidelines. For the majority of CHB subjects, life-long treatment is required as only a small 
percentage (< 10%) of subjects experience sustained loss of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), 
and as a consequence, achieve an effective cure of the disease. Though highly effective, long 
term use of TDF is associated with nephrotoxicity and reduced bone mineral density in some 
subjects {Panel on Antiretroviral Guidelines for Adults and Adolescents 2012}. Thus, alternative 
therapies with high antiviral potency, a high genetic barrier to resistance development, and 
improved long term safety and tolerability are needed in order to further advance treatment of 
chronic HBV infection worldwide.
Tenofovir alafenamide (TAF), a novel “intracellular” prodrug of tenofovir (TFV), has the 
potential to advance treatment of chronic HBV infection. In contrast to TDF, an oral prodrug that 
is rapidly cleaved by esterases in the intestines and plasma to TFV, TAF has been specifically 
synthesized to be more stable in resisting early enzymatic cleavage following oral administration 
and remain mostly intact until penetrating target cells. By virtue of this key distinguishing 
property, TAF when administered at a lower dose than TDF, is capable of efficiently delivering 
active drug (e.g. tenofovir diphosphate [TFV-DP]) to the cells where it is needed 
(e.g. HBV-infected hepatocytes, HIV-infected lymphoid cells) while systemic exposures of TFV 
are greatly reduced in comparison to oral administration of TDF 300 mg. These features are 
hypothesized to translate into the potential for effective suppression of viral replication and an 
improved tolerability and safety profile.

Tenofovir Alafenamide (TAF, GS-7340)
1.2.1.
General Information
Tenofovir alafenamide (GS-7340, TAF, or L-alanine, N-[(S)-[[(1R)-2-(6-amino-9H-purin-9-yl)-
1-methylethoxy] methyl]/phenoxyphosphinyl]-, 1-methylethyl ester) is a next generation oral 
prodrug of TFV, a nucleotide analog that inhibits reverse transcription in HIV-1 and HBV. TFV
is metabolized intracellularly to the active metabolite, tenofovir diphosphate (TFV-DP), a 
competitive inhibitor of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT) and HBV pol/RT that terminates the 
elongation of the viral DNA chain. In the development of TAF, three forms of the drug substance 
have been used in various studies: GS-7340, synonym for GS-7340 as the free base;

GS-7340-02, synonym for TAF monofumarate (1:1); and GS-7340-03 as the hemifumarate (2:1). 
GS-7340-03, also known as TAF fumarate, the form being used in GS-US-292-0102 (Phase 2 
study in HIV subjects) and GS-US-320-0101 (Phase 1b study in HBV subjects), is considered
comparable to GS-7340-02 based on physical/chemical properties of GS-7340-02, the form that
has been used in previous studies and a number of currently ongoing studies. Importantly, both 
GS-7340-03 and GS-7340-02 exist as the free base, TAF (GS-7340), in blood and biological 
fluids.
For further information on TAF, (GS-7340), please refer to the latest Investigator’s Brochure for 
GS-7340.
1.2.2.
Preclinical Pharmacology and Toxicology
1.2.2.1.
Primary Pharmacodynamics
TAF is converted intracellularly by cathepsin A (CatA) and carboxylesterase-1 (CES1) to form 
TFV (i.e, a nucleoside monophosphate analog) which is not dependent on an intracellular 
nucleoside kinase activity for the first step in the conversion to the active metabolite, and is 
subsequently converted to TFV-DP by cellular kinases. The cellular enzymes responsible for 
TFV metabolism to the active diphosphorylated form are adenylate kinase (AK) {Robbins 1995}
and nucleotide diphosphate kinase, which are highly active and ubiquitous. AK exists as multiple 
isozymes (AK1 to AK4), with the phosphorylation of TFV mediated most efficiently by AK2. 
Analysis of primary cells showed that CatA activity varied minimally in both human cluster of 
differentiation 4 (CD4+) T lymphocytes and macrophages. CatA activity was equivalent in 
resting and activated CD4s and approximately 2-fold higher in macrophages. Intracellular 
metabolites of TAF were similar among individual donors in both CD4+ T-cells and 
macrophages. Carboxylesterease-1 (Ces1) which is highly expressed in liver, contributes to TAF 
conversion to TFV, particularly in hepatocytes {Bam 2012, Birkus 2012}.
The intracellular metabolism of TAF and TFV are consistent with the 600-fold enhancement in 
anti-HIV activity in cell culture of TAF over TFV. Metabolism of TAF was also studied in 
different human blood lymphocyte subpopulations, CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells, NK cells, B-cells 
and macrophages/monocytes. TAF is metabolized inside host cells to the active metabolite 
TFV-DP. Concentration of the active metabolite TFV-DP was substantial in all cell populations. 
Additionally, a 24-hour continuous incubation of TAF in primary human hepatocytes in vitro 
resulted in approximately 120- or 5-fold higher levels of TFV-DP compared to incubation of 
TFV or TDF, respectively (AD-120-2017).

Safety Pharmacology
TAF monofumarate (GS-7430-02) has been evaluated to determine potential effects on the 
central nervous system (R990188), renal system (R990186), cardiovascular (D2000006) and 
gastrointestinal systems (R990187). Single doses did not induce pharmacologic effects on the 
central nervous system of the rat (1000 mg/kg), the renal system of the rat (1000 mg/kg), or the 
cardiovascular system of the dog (100 mg/kg). GS-7340-02 (at 1000 mg/kg reduced distal transit 
and increased stomach weights starting 2 hours post dosing with reversibility beginning by 
6 hours after dosing. The NOEL for gastrointestinal motility was 100 mg/kg. The IC50 for the 
inhibitory effect of TAF fumarate (GS-7340-03) on hERG potassium current was estimated to be 
greater than 10 μM.
1.2.2.3.
Nonclinical Pharmacokinetics
All nonclinical pharmacokinetic experiments in this section were performed using TAF 
monofumarate (GS-7340-02), and all study data described in this section reflect the dosage of the 
monofumarate. For reference, 100 mg of GS-7340-02 is equivalent to 80 mg of the GS-7340 free 
base (TAF).
Plasma pharmacokinetics of the intact prodrug, TAF, following oral administration of 
GS-7340-02 in dogs and monkeys demonstrated rapid absorption with peak plasma 
concentrations between 0.25 and 0.5 hours. 
Peak TFV plasma concentrations occurred following TAF absorption, with TFV Tmax values 
between 0.25 to 1.7 hours in rats, dogs, and monkeys. TFV plasma concentrations declined with 
a terminal half-life of 11.2 to 16.4 hours in rats (fasted), > 24 hours in dogs (fasted) and 
8.1 to 12.5 hours in rhesus monkeys. 
The tissue distribution and recovery of [14C] radiolabeled GS-7340-02 was examined in beagle 
dogs. Radioactivity was detected in all tissues except brain, with the majority present in the 
contents of the gastrointestinal tract, liver, kidney, and large intestine. Tissue concentrations 
were the highest in kidney, PBMCs, liver, large intestine, and bile. Significant concentrations of 
TFV-related radioactive material were observed in lymph nodes from all 4 sites, suggesting that 
TAF may be selectively cleaved to TFV in the cells of the lymphoreticular system.
The primary route of elimination of TFV is renal excretion of unchanged drug based on 
IV studies of TFV. Following oral administration of GS-7340-02, approximately 15% of a 
radiolabeled dose is recovered in dog urine in 24 hrs. TFV was the major species present in the 
urine (90%), with about 3.4% of TAF also present. Biliary excretion of TFV in dogs and fecal 
elimination of TFV in rats and dogs are negligible.
TFV was the only species found in the intestinal contents and feces. In human systems, TAF is 
metabolized by hydrolytic cleavage and, to a lesser extent, by CYP3A4 catalyzed oxidation 
(AD-120-2004). As a result of the limited metabolism of TAF by CYP3A4, inhibition or 
induction of this enzyme should have little consequence on TAF exposure in vivo. TAF has
limited potential to alter CYP enzyme activity through inhibition and does not inhibit UGT1A1

function. In addition, TAF is not an activator of either the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) or 
human pregnane-X-receptor (PXR). These features combined with the relatively low plasma 
exposures of TAF in humans suggest that the potential of TAF to cause or be affected by 
clinically relevant drug-drug interactions is very low.
The hepatic extraction of TAF was estimated to be 70% suggesting that TAF was rapidly cleaved 
by hepatic hydrolases including Ces1 and CatA {Babusis 2013}. An in vitro study to evaluate 
effects of inhibitors of CatA or Ces1 on TAF metabolism in primary human hepatocytes is 
ongoing. Single and repeat dose dog liver pharmacokinetic studies are planned.
1.2.2.4.
Nonclinical Toxicology
TAF monofumarate (GS-7340-02) was evaluated in mice, rats, dogs, and monkeys for treatment 
periods up to 9 months and was negative in genetic toxicology studies.
In chronic studies in rats, bone (atrophy of metaphyseal cancellous bone) and kidneys 
(karyomegaly) were the primary target organs after 26 weeks of treatment. GS-7340-02 also 
appeared to increase biochemical markers of bone turnover and decrease serum 
1,25-dihydroxy- and 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 at doses of 25 mg/kg/day and above. In chronic 
studies in dogs after 9 months of treatment with GS-7340-02, the primary target organs were 
kidney and bone.  
GS-7430-02 had no discernible electrocardiograph (EKG/ECG) effect at the low dose of 
2 mg/kg/day and slightly prolonged PR intervals at 6 and 18/12 mg/kg/day (started at 
18 mg/kg/day, then reduced to 12 mg/kg/day at Weeks 7-8). Additionally, at Week 39, 
GS-7430-02 appeared to reversibly reduce heart rate with an associated mild QT prolongation. 
At Week 39, decreases in serum T3 were noted for animals receiving 18/12 mg/kg/day but was 
reversible at the 3 month recovery period. Minor hematological and biochemistry parameters 
changes were observed but remained within normal historical ranges with the following 
exceptions: AST (~ 100% increase) and total bilirubin (~ 40% increase). There were no clear 
treatment-related effects observed in monkeys following 28 days of treatment, including no 
changes in mitochondrial function.
The data from the 6-month rat study determined a NOAEL of 25 mg/kg/day 
(tenofovir AUC = 3758 ng•h/mL); the 9-month dog study defined a NOAEL of 2 mg/kg/day 
(tenofovir AUC = 1180 ng•h/mL), and the 28-day nonhuman primate study defined a NOAEL of 
30 mg/kg/day (tenofovir AUC = 5870 ng•h/mL). In conjunction with the nonclinical data with 
TDF and the clinical experience with TDF and TAF, these toxicology studies support studies in 
humans of doses up to 150 mg/day (equivalent to 120 mg free base, the highest anticipated 
human dose) for chronic treatment.
At the time of the rodent toxicity studies, the bioassay could not detect plasma TAF, possibly due 
to instability in the matrix.

Because of the lack of exposure to the prodrug in mice and rats and achievable TFV exposures 
less than previously tested in chronic and carcinogenicity studies with TDF, carcinogenicity 
studies in mice and rats with TAF are currently not required per agreement with FDA and EMA.
Also, TAF does not need to be evaluated in perinatal-postnatal reproductive toxicology studies
per agreement with FDA and EMA. Reproductive tissues were examined in repeat-dose 
toxicology studies in the rat, dog, and monkey. There were no clearly treatment-related 
histologic alterations or changes in organ weights in the rat and the dog following chronic daily 
dosing, or in the monkey. 
The TAF fumarate (GS-7340-03) oral rat fertility study is ongoing (Report No. TX-120-2012;
report in progress). 
1.2.3.
Clinical Trials of Tenofovir Alafenamide (TAF, GS-7340)
To date, a total of 8 Phase 1 and Phase 1/2 clinical trials of tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) have 
been conducted or are ongoing in 528 subjects. This includes seven HIV studies (total of 
477 subjects; 2 completed Phase 1/2 studies [68 subjects], 3 completed Phase 1 studies 
[83 subjects], and 2 ongoing Phase 2 studies [326 subjects]), and 1 Phase 1b HBV study 
(completed enrollment; 51 subjects). TAF is presently in Phase 3 for treatment of HIV-1, and a 
Phase 1b study has completed enrollment and is nearing completion for treatment of chronic 
HBV. 
Clinical trials entailing the use of TAF (dose[s] studied) for HIV-1 infection and other Phase 1 
studies include:

GS-120-1101, a Phase 1/2 study of the pharmacokinetics and antiviral activity of TAF, 
GS-7340 (50 mg and 150 mg) in HIV-infected subjects (completed)

GS-US-120-0104, a Phase 1b study of the pharmacokinetics and antiviral activity of TAF, 
GS-7340 (8 mg, 25 mg, 40 mg) in HIV-infected subjects (completed)

GS-US-120-0107, a Phase 1, partially-blinded, randomized, placebo- and positive-controlled 
study to evaluate the effect of TAF, GS-7340 (25 mg and 150 mg) on the QT/QTc interval in 
healthy subjects (completed)

GS-US-120-0108, A Phase 1, Open-Label, Parallel-Design Study to Evaluate the 
Pharmacokinetics of TAF, GS-7340 (25 mg) in Subjects with Severe Renal Impairment

Further details regarding these studies are provided in the table (Table 1-1) below. In Phase 1/2 
studies in HIV-infected subjects (Studies 120-1101 and 120-0104), the short-term 
safety/tolerability, PK, and antiviral activity of TAF when given as a stand alone agent (SA) 
were evaluated over a range of doses. In Study 120-0104, at TAF doses of 25 mg or higher, near-
maximal HIV RNA suppression was observed at Day 10, and importantly, single dose PK 
assessments of TAF (8 mg, 25 mg, or 40 mg) and TDF (300 mg) demonstrated that the 
TAF-generated TFV systemic exposures (AUCinf) were markedly lower (approximately 
90% lower at TAF 25 mg) than the TFV exposure generated with TDF 300 mg. For HIV Phase 2 
(and Phase 3) studies, however, a 10 mg dose of TAF was selected for inclusion as a component 
of the Elvitegravir (E)/Cobicistat (COBI, or “C”)/Emtricitabine(F)/TAF STR in comparison to 
the E/C/F/TDF STR control arm. A reduction in dose from 25 mg to 10 mg of TAF in the 
E/C/F/TAF STR is required based on a drug-drug interaction between TAF and COBI resulting 
in increased exposures of both TAF and TFV which is likely a consequence of Pgp-mediated 
inhibition of TAF and TFV efflux within the gut by COBI. Importantly, the resultant TFV 
exposures when TAF is dosed at 10 mg with COBI in the E/C/F/TAF STR formulation are 
equivalent to TFV exposures generated with TAF 25 mg given as a single agent. Given that TAF 
exposures with E/C/F/TAF 10 mg are comparable to those with 25 mg TAF given alone, safety 
results in HIV trials using this formulation are being assessed at a TAF dose that is considered 
therapeutically equivalent to TAF 25 mg. Thus, HIV studies conducted at TAF exposures similar 
to those expected in HBV provide the basis for supporting safety data for the TAF HBV 
development program.

Clinical trials entailing the use of TAF for the treatment of CHB virus:

GS-US-320-0101 A Phase 1b Randomized, Open-label, Active-Controlled Study to Assess 
the Safety, Viral Kinetics and Anti-HBV Activity of GS-7340 in Treatment-Naïve Adults 
with Chronic Hepatitis B (CHB) Infection (enrollment and dosing completed)
The two proof-of concept studies, GS-120-1101 and GS-US-120-0104, as well as 
GS-US-292-0101, a STR bioequivalence study, were performed using TAF monofumarate 
(GS-7340-02). All subsequent studies discussed herein were performed using TAF fumarate 
(GS-7340-03). 
GS-120-1101 was a Phase 1/2 randomized double-blind, active-controlled, dose escalation study 
of the safety, tolerance, pharmacokinetics, and antiviral activity of TAF in antiretroviral-naïve 
subjects, who are chronically infected with HIV-1. The subjects were randomized to receive 
14 days of monotherapy, fasting, with GS-7340-02 50 mg (40 mg GS-7340 [free base] 
equivalent) QD, 150 mg (120 mg GS-7340 [free base] equivalent) QD, or tenofovir DF 300 mg 
QD (n = 10 per group). TAF was rapidly absorbed into the systemic circulation, and 
subsequently following attainment of Cmax, was eliminated rapidly with a short plasma half-life 
(20-40 minutes). Compared with TDF, GS-7340-02 50 mg provided a ~16-fold lower TFV Cmax
(207 ng/mL vs 13 ng/mL), about 2-fold longer elimination half-life (26 hours vs 48 hours) and 
lower overall systemic TFV exposure (AUCinf: 1814 ng.h/mL vs 383 ng.h/ml). GS-7340-02
150 mg provided lower Cmax (42 ng/mL), but comparable AUCinf: (1740 ng.h/mL) as TDF. In 
PBMCs, TFV was detected earlier, more frequently, and in higher concentrations following 
dosing of GS-7340-02 as compared to TDF. The intracellular delivery of TFV is approximately 
30-fold greater for GS-7340-02 versus TDF. The decrease from Baseline to Day 14 in plasma 
HIV-RNA levels was greater for groups treated with GS-7340-02 50 mg (p = 0.02757) or 
150 mg (p = 0.0010) than the group that received TDF 300 mg. The median changes from 
baseline in plasma HIV-1 RNA after 14 days of monotherapy were 0.96 log10 copies/mL for 
TDF 300 mg, 1.65 log10 copies/mL for GS-7340-02 50 mg, and 1.68 for GS-7340-02 150 mg. 
A second proof-of-concept study, GS-US-120-0104, evaluated monotherapy, fasting, with three 
lower doses of TAF compared with TDF 300 mg, or placebo, administered for 10 days. Potent 
antiviral activity was achieved with TAF in treatment-naïve HIV-1 infected subjects; mean viral 
load declines for both the 25 mg and 40 mg doses were statistically better than the 8 mg dose. 
TAF exposure (AUC) was best associated with antiviral activity despite its short plasma half-life 
(~ 30 min). TFV AUC values were 97%, 87%, and 80% lower at 8 mg, 25 mg, and 40 mg TAF 
respectively, compared to TDF administration. When compared to 40 mg and historical 120 mg
data, 25 mg TAF provides near maximal anti-HIV-1 activity. From this PK-PD analysis, a target 
dose of 25 mg TAF monotherapy is expected to provide near maximal antiviral activity and 
~ 90% reduction in circulating TFV.

Study GS-US-120-0107 is a Phase 1, partially-blinded, randomized, placebo- and 
positive-controlled study to evaluate the effect of TAF on the QT/QTc interval in healthy 
subjects. This was a negative thorough-QTc study. No effect of TAF was observed on the QTcF 
interval (ie, no QTc interval prolongation > 10 msec at any time point post-dose and assay 
sensitivity was confirmed via the positive control [moxifloxacin]). As such, these findings satisfy 
the guidelines set forth in the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) E14 guidance 
and support the conclusion that there is no significant effect of TAF on the QT/QTc interval.
Study GS-US-120-0108 is a Phase 1, open-label, parallel-design study to evaluate the PK of TAF 
in subjects with severe renal impairment. TAF was well tolerated in the study. Subjects with 
severe renal impairment had < 2-fold higher TAF and 5-6-fold higher TFV systemic exposures as 
assessed by AUC relative to subjects with normal renal function. TFV exposures in subjects with 
severe renal impairment are comparable to those with normal renal function receiving 300 mg
TDF QD. Given the extensive safety data available for TDF at a dose of 300 mg, TFV exposures 
in severely renally impaired subjects similar to those associated with TDF 300 mg are deemed 
appropriate for further study of TAF in HIV-infected subjects without TAF dose modification.
Preliminary results from Study GS-US-120-0109, a Phase 1 PK, metabolism and excretion study 
demonstrated that TAF is eliminated in both feces and urine. TAF and its metabolites are 
eliminated in both feces and urine. The predominant species detected in feces and urine is TFV, 
accounting for 31.4% ± 10.4% and 22.2% ± 4.47% respectively, of the total radioactive dose.
These human data are consistent with the established preclinical profile of TAF. Following
administration of TAF, plasma [14C] radioactivity showed a time dependent profile with TAF as 
the most abundant species in the initial few hours and uric acid, a byproduct of TAF metabolism,
in the remaining period. The whole blood-to-plasma concentration ratio of [14C] radioactivity 
increased from 0.511 at 0.25 hours post dose to 2.32 at 216 hours post dose, suggesting a 
relatively slower clearance of [14C] radioactivity from blood cells relative to the plasma 
[14C] radioactivity time-course. In addition to TFV and uric acid, additional low quantities of 
metabolites were formed, including xanthine, hypoxanthine, and adenine. They are identical to 
the endogenous products of purine metabolism and therefore should not cause any safety risk. 
TAF 25 mg tablets administered together with tracer dose of [14C] radiolabeled TAF as a single 
oral tablet, were well tolerated.
HBV Study – GS-US-320-0101
In HBV subjects, a 28 day Phase 1b study (GS-US-320-0101), was conducted to evaluate 
safety/tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and antiviral activity of TAF at doses of 8 mg, 25 mg, 
40 mg, and 120 mg compared to TDF 300 mg control in 50 subjects (10/cohort). As of 
April 2, 2013, enrollment was completed (n=51) and all subjects have completed study drug 
dosing through day 29.
Preliminary data suggest that all treatment groups were generally well matched and 
representative of the chronic HBV population (Table 1-2). Overall, the majority of subjects were 
male (66.7%), and of Asian descent (56.9%). Of the 51 randomized subjects, 27 (53%) and 
24 (47%) were HBeAg-negative and HBeAg-positive, respectively. Median age ranged among 
groups from 34 years in the 8 mg and 25 mg TAF groups to 40 and 42 years in the 40 mg and

120 mg TAF groups, respectively; median age in the TDF group was 34 years. The most 
common HBV genotype at enrollment was genotype C (16/51; 31%), the proportions of other 
genotypes were: A (7/51; 14%), B (10/51; 20%), D (9/51; 18%), and E (9/51; 18%). The 
distribution of HBV genotypes was similar among groups, with the exception of a higher 
proportion (5 of 11 [45.5%]) of subjects in the 40 mg TAF group being genotype B.

Preliminary safety results are summarized in the table below. Overall, TAF was safe and well 
tolerated in HBV subjects. No subjects experienced a serious adverse event (SAE), or 
Grade 3 or 4 treatment emergent adverse event, and no subjects required treatment 
discontinuation for an AE. Treatment emergent AEs were generally mild and included 
gastrointestinal complaints (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, epigastric discomfort), fatigue, lethargy, 
headache, and dizziness. Grade 3 laboratory abnormalities were seen in 3 subjects in the TAF 
40 mg group (1 subject each with creatine kinase elevation, glycosuria, and hematuria), 
2 subjects in the TAF 120 mg group (1 subject each with elevated transaminases [both AST 
and ALT] - described below, and amylase elevation), and in 1 subject in the TDF arm 
(amylase elevation). The subject with Grade 3 glycosuria in the TAF 40 mg group, experienced 
this abnormality at Day 29 which was associated with a corresponding serum glucose elevation 
(212 mg/dL); the subject also had a history of diabetes mellitus.

Given the significantly smaller declines in creatinine clearance (CLCr) observed at Week 24 with 
TAF relative to TDF in the HIV Phase 2 study (GS-US-209-0102; Section 1.2.4), changes in 
CLCr were also assessed in HBV subjects participating in GS-US-320-0101. After 4 weeks of 
dosing, numerically smaller changes in CLCr at Day 29 were seen in HBV subjects receiving 
TAF compared with TDF (Figure 1-1). At Day 29, median (range) change from baseline in 
CLCr was 2.0 ( 13.2, 9.6) mL/min for the TAF 25 mg group compared with a change of 
10.4 ( 35.7, 13.0) mL/min in the TDF group. Further, there were no notable differences in CLCr
change among the two lowest dose groups (TAF 8 mg and TAF 25 mg), and the highest dose 
group (120 mg). An early decline in CLCr, similar to that observed in the TDF group was noted 
in the TAF 40 mg group; however, by Day 29 the change in CLCr was similar to the other TAF 
groups. These results are consistent with findings in HIV subjects receiving the E/C/F/TAF 
10 mg STR and provide additional evidence to support the concept that lower TFV exposures 
with TAF relative to TFV exposures with TDF are associated with notable differences in renal 
function change as determined by estimated CLCr.

DNA declines with TAF (n = 41) over 28 days of dosing were similar to HBV DNA declines 
observed in the TDF 300 mg group (n = 10). A summary of change from baseline in HBV DNA 
results at Day 15 and Day 29 is provided in the table below (Table 1-4) below. Among TAF 
groups, median change from baseline in HBV DNA at Day 29 ranged from 1.98 log10 IU/mL 
for the TAF 40 mg group to 2.76 log10 IU/mL for the TAF 8 mg group. For TAF 25 mg, the 
change from baseline in HBV DNA at Day 29 was 2.67 log10 IU/mL. Consistently smaller 
declines in HBV DNA over time, and slightly lower median change from baseline in HBV DNA 
were observed in the TAF 40 mg group at Day 29. The reason for this is unclear and possibly 
related to a lower median HBV DNA value at Baseline (Table 1-4). In this group, 
5/11 (45.5%) subjects had a baseline HBV DNA value below 5.0 log10 IU/mL. In comparison to 
TAF groups, the change from baseline in HBV DNA at Day 29 was 2.60 log10 IU/mL with 
TDF 300 mg.

Plasma concentration-time profiles were generated after intensive pharmacokinetic sampling 
following a single dose on Day 1 for subjects who were randomized to receive TAF 8, 25, 40, or 
120 mg, or TDF 300 mg (N=51). The respective plasma concentration-versus-time profiles are 
shown in Figure 1-3 (TAF) and Figure 1-4 (TFV). Pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated 
via non-compartmental analysis. 
TAF Pharmacokinetic Results
In general, the concentration-time profiles for TAF over the range of doses studied in CHB 
subjects were consistent with previous results in the healthy volunteers and HIV subjects 
receiving TAF either as a single agent or as a component of the E/C/F/TAF STR.

results in CHB subjects participating in GS-US-320-0101 are consistent with previously reported 
results in the HIV Phase 1/2 study GS-US-120-0104, which evaluated TAF single-dose 
pharmacokinetics following doses of 8 mg (n=9), 25 mg (n=8), and 40 mg (n=8), versus TDF 
300 mg (n=6). In GS-US-120-0104, mean (%CV) AUC0-last was 38.4 (80.6) ng∙h/mL, 
139.7 (57.8) ng∙h/mL, and 322.1 (42.0) ng∙h/mL after single doses of TAF 8 mg, 25 mg, and 
40 mg, respectively. Other parameters assessed on Day 1 (Cmax, Tmax, and t1/2) in 
GS-US-320-0101 were similar to the results generated in GS-US-120-0104.
Similar findings to the present study were also observed when TAF pharmacokinetic parameters 
were assessed after multiple doses at steady-state in the ongoing Phase 2 study, 
GS-US-292-0102, which compares STRs of E/C/F/TAF 10 mg to E/C/F/TDF 300 mg in HIV-1 
infected, treatment-naive subjects. Mean (%CV) AUClast, and Cmax values for TAF at the 10 mg 
dose in combination with COBI were 230.4 (47.3) ng∙h/mL and 232.8 (64.6) ng/mL, 
respectively. As TAF exposures at the 10 mg dose, when included as a component of the 
E/C/F/TAF STR, have been shown to be comparable to those with TAF 25 mg given as the 
stand-alone agent, these results indicate similar TAF exposures in both subjects infected with 
HIV and those infected with HBV.

TFV Pharmacokinetic Results
Mean (SD) plasma concentration versus time profiles for TFV following single dose 
administration of ascending doses of TAF and TDF 300 mg are shown in Table 1-4. At each 
TAF dose evaluated, plasma TFV concentrations resulting from TAF administration were lower 
than plasma TFV concentrations following TDF administration. The TFV concentrations 
achieved from all TAF dose levels in HBV subjects in GS-US-320-0101 are comparable to TFV 
concentrations achieved after TAF administration in the HIV program.

Tenofovir (TFV) plasma pharmacokinetic parameters are summarized in Table 1-6. As with 
TAF, Day 1 TFV pharmacokinetic results in CHB subjects participating in GS-US-320-0101 are 
consistent with those previously reported in the HIV Phase 1/2 study GS-US-120-0104, which 
evaluated TAF single-dose pharmacokinetics following doses of 8 mg (n=9), 25 mg (n=8), and 
40 mg (n=8), versus TDF 300 mg (n=6). In GS-US-120-0104, mean (%CV) AUCinf for TFV 
were 49.4 (30.3) ng∙h/mL, 195.9 (27.2) ng∙h/mL, and 287.3 (33.7) ng h/mL after single doses of 
TAF 8 mg, 25 mg, and 40 mg, respectively. Mean (%CV) AUCinf for TFV following TDF 
300 mg was 1719.2 ng∙h/mL. Other parameters assessed on Day 1 (Cmax, Tmax, and t1/2) in 
GS-US-320-0101 were similar to results seen in HIV subjects in GS-US-120-0104. As stated 
earlier, When TAF is included as a component of the E/C/F/TAF STR, a reduced dose (10 mg) is
required due to a drug-drug interaction (inhibition of P-gp in the gut by cobicistat) that results in
increased exposures of both TAF and TFV (see Section 1.2.4).
The following Section 1.2.4 provides a summary of experience with TAF in HIV-1 infection, 
including the final Week 24 analysis results for TAF when used as a component of the 
E/C/F/TAF STR in the HIV Phase 2 study GS-US-292-0102. Because TAF exposures in this 
ongoing trial are similar to those expected in the TAF HBV development program, these results 
provide importing supporting safety data.

Elvitegravir/Cobicistat/Emtricitabine/Tenofovir Alafenamide (E/C/F/TAF)
Phase 1 and 2 clinical trials using TAF, coformulated into the E/C/F/TAF STR for the treatment 
of HIV-1 infection include:

GS-US-292-0101, a Phase 1 healthy volunteer study evaluating the relative bioavailability of 
EVG, FTC, TFV, and COBI when administered as E/C/F/TAF STR relative to E/C/F/TDF or 
TAF (completed)

GS-US-292-0103, a Phase 1 healthy volunteer study to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and 
relative bioavailability of the E/C/F/TAF STR relative to the individual components at 
GS-7340 doses of 10 mg (STR) or 25 mg SA (completed)

GS-US-292-0102, a Phase 2 randomized, double-blinded study of the safety and efficacy of 
E/C/F/TAF STR versus E/C/F/TDF STR in HIV-1 infected, antiretroviral treatment-naive 
adults (ongoing)
1.2.4.1.
Summary of Phase 1 Studies (Study GS-US-292-0101, GS-US-292-0103)
Study GS-US-292-0101 is a Phase 1 study of 40 subjects evaluating the relative bioavailability 
of two different formulations of E/C/F/TAF STR, each with TAF dose of 25 mg or 40 mg, versus 
E/C/F/TDF STR or TAF 25 mg alone. Exposures of EVG, COBI, and FTC were comparable 
between E/C/F/TAF vs E/C/F/TDF regardless of formulation (monolayer or bi-layer). In 
contrast, TAF exposures were ~2.2-fold higher (and corresponding tenofovir exposures ~ 3-fold 
higher) when administered as E/C/F/TAF (25 mg) vs TAF SA 25 mg for both formulations of the 
E/C/F/TAF. This is likely mediated by inhibition of Pgp-mediated intestinal secretion of TAF by 
COBI and consistent with data from Study GS-US-311-0101 described below. 
Study GS-US-292-0103 is a completed Phase 1 healthy volunteer study which evaluated the PK 
and relative bioavailability of the E/C/F/TAF STR relative to the individual components at TAF 
doses of 10mg (as STR) or 25 mg SA. Results indicate that when dosed as the E/C/F/TAF 10 mg
STR, TAF and TFV exposures were comparable to those observed with TAF 25 mg dosed alone. 
Exposures of EVG, COBI, and FTC were also comparable between the STR and individually 
dosed formulations. 
1.2.4.2.
Week 24 Summary of Phase 2 Study (Study GS-US-292-0102)
GS-US-292-0102 is an ongoing Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, multicenter, 
active-controlled study to assess the safety and efficacy of E/C/F/TAF STR versus E/C/F/TDF in 
HIV-1 infected, antiretroviral treatment-naive adults with plasma HIV-1 RNA levels 
≥5,000 copies/mL at screening.

Eligible subjects were randomized in a 2:1 ratio to 1 of the following 2 treatment arms and 
randomization was stratified by HIV-1 RNA level (≤ 100,000 copies/mL or > 100,000 copies/mL) 
at screening:

Treatment Arm 1: STR of EVG 150 mg/ COBI 150 mg/ FTC 200 mg/ TAF 10 mg
(E/C/F/TAF) + placebo-to-match STR of EVG 150 mg/ COBI 150 mg/ FTC 200 mg/ TDF

The Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC) reviewed the safety and study conduct at 
week 12 and determined that no changes were required for study GS-US-292-0102. Interim data 
at week 24 is presented below.
1.2.4.3.
Week 24 Subject Disposition and Demographics
A total of 170 subjects were randomized and treated in this study: 112 subjects in the E/C/F/TAF 
group and 58 subjects in the E/C/F/TDF group. The full analysis set (FAS) and safety analysis 
set (SAS) each included all randomized and treated subjects from each group. 
 
 At the time of the 
Week 24 data analysis, 6 subjects (2.4%) had been discontinued from treatment and 4 subjects 
(2.4%) had been discontinued from study. 
Of the 170 subjects in the FAS and SAS, 165 (97.1%) were male; 115 (67.6%) were white and 
50 (29.49%) were black; and the mean age was 36 years (range: 18 to 71 years). Demographic 
and baseline disease characteristics were similar between the 2 treatment groups.
1.2.4.4.
Week 24 Efficacy Results
Proportion of Subjects with Plasma HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/mL at Week 24
The proportion of subjects who achieved HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/mL at Week 24 was 86.6% in 
the E/C/F/TAF group and 89.7% in the E/C/F/TDF group, with a stratum-adjusted difference in 
the response rate between the 2 treatment groups of 4.9% (95% CI: 15.7% to 5.9%; p = 0.36).
Results of the secondary efficacy endpoint confirmed those of the primary analysis. The 
proportion of subjects with suppression of plasma HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/mL at Week 24 
(time-to-loss of virologic-response [TLOVR] analysis) was 88.4% (99/112) in the E/C/F/TAF 
group and 84.5% (49/58) in the E/C/F/TDF group. The stratum-adjusted difference in the 
response rate between the 2 treatment groups was 0.1% (95% CI: 10.4% to 10.2%; p = 0.99).
The mean increase in CD4 cell count from baseline to Week 24 was 163 cells/μL in the 
E/C/F/TAF group and 177 cells/μL in the E/C/F/TDF group (-6 difference in LSM, 
95% CI 44 to 33).

At the time of the 24-week interim analysis, 112 subjects had been treated with E/C/F/f AF for a 
median duration of21.1 weeks and 58 subjects had been treated with E/C/F/fDF for a median 
duration of 21.3 weeks. The overall subject incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events 
(AEs) was balanced between treatment groups (81.3% E/C/F/f AF, 81.0% E/C/F/TDF) 
(Table 1-7). The most frequent treatment-emergent AEs (> 10% in either treatment group) were 
(E/C/F/TAF, E/C/F/TDF) nausea (17.9%, 12.1 %), diarrhea (11.6%, 12.1 %), fatigue 
(11.6%, 8.6%), upper respiratory tract infection (7.1 %, 12.1 %), and headache (9.8%, 10.3%), 
respectively. 
Most treatment-emergent AEs were assessed as Grade 1 or Grade 2 in severity. The incidence of 
Grade 3 or 4 A Es was higher in the E/C/F ff AF group (7 .1 %) compared to the E/C/F/TDF group 
(3.4%). No Grade 3 or 4 event occurred in > 1 subject; the system organ class (SOC) with the 
highest subject incidence of Grade 3 or 4 events was Nervous System Disorders 
(2.7% E/C/F/TAF, 0% E/C/F/TDF). The only Grade 3 or 4 event that was considered by the 
investigator to be related to investigational product was Grade 3 diarrhea in 1 subject (0.9%) in 
the E/C/F/TAF group; there were no treatment-related Grade 3 or 4 AEs in the E/C/F/fDF 
group. Based on these data, there do not appear to be any signature, higher grade AEs associated 
with the use of E/C/F/TAF through 24 weeks of treatment. 
More subjects in the E/C/F/TAF group compared to the E/C/F/TDF group also had 
treatment-emergent serious AEs (SAEs) (5.4% vs 3.4%) or AEs leading to premature treatment 
discontinuation (3.6% vs 0). None of these events occurred in> 1 subject, and none of the SAEs 
were considered by the investigator to be related to treatment with investigational product. The 
system organ class (SOC) with the highest subject incidence of treatment-emergent SAEs was 
Infections and Infestations (4.5% E/C/F/f AF, 0% E/C/F/TDF). No deaths or pregnancies 
occurred.

Subjects were counted once for the maximum post-baseline severity for each laboratory test.
Lipase test was only performed for subjects with serum amylase > 1.5 x upper limit of normal.
Urine RBC (hematuria, quantitative) was graded based on DAIDS grading scale (with the modification of urine RBC 
> 75 cells/HPF as Grade 3).
For Urinalysis (i.e., urine glucose, urine protein, and urine RBC), the highest grade is up to Grade 3.
No clinically significant changes in mean thyroid function tests (TSH, free T3, free T4) or serum

Renal Safety
On multiple objective laboratory tests of renal function, subjects receiving E/C/F/TAF had a 
lower magnitude of change than subjects receiving E/C/F/TDF through 24 weeks.  
The change from baseline in serum creatinine (SCr) was lower in the E/C/F/TAF group
compared to the E/C/F/TDF group at most assessments through Week 24. At Week 24, median 
change from baseline in serum creatinine was 0.07 mg/dL (range through Week 24: 0.05 mg/dL 
to 0.08 mg/dL) for the E/C/F/TAF group and 0.11 mg/dL (range through Week 24: 0.08 mg/dL 
to 0.11 mg/dL) for the E/C/F/TDF group (Week 24 p = 0.016).
Accordingly, the decrease from baseline in estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) by 
Cockcroft-Gault formula for CLCr was lower in the E/C/F/TAF group compared to the 
E/C/F/TDF group at most assessments through Week 24 (Figure 1-5). At baseline, the mean 
(SD) estimated GFRC-G was similar between groups (120.1 [30.22] (mL/min) for subjects in the 
E/C/F/TAF group and 114.7 [21.68] (mL/min) for subjects in the E/C/F/TDF group. At Week 24,

median change from baseline estimated GFRc-G was 6.6 mL/min for the E/C/F/TAF group and 
10.6 mL/min for the E/C/F/TDF group (p = 0.009). At Week 24, 3 (5.2%) subjects in the

DXA scans of the spine and hip were perfonned at the Baseline and Week 24 visits (and at the 
early study drug discontinuation visit, if applicable) to measure changes from baseline in BMD. 
The percent changes from baseline in BMD values in the lmnbar spine and hip are smmnarized 
in Table 1-9. The median percentage decrease from baseline was significantly less for subjects in 
the E/C/F/T AF group compared with that for subjects in the E/C/F/TDF group for both spine 
(p = 0.002) and hip (p < 0.001) BMD. 
The categorical distribution of subjects in each treatment group with percentage changes in BMD 
from baseline within specified ranges at Week 24 is smmnarized for spine and hip in Table 1-10. 
At Week 24, a significantly higher proportion of subjects in the E/C/F/T AF group than in the 
E/C/F/TDF group had no decreases in BMD at the hip (40.6% vs 22.8%; p < 0.001) and spine 
(37.5% vs 12.1 %; p = 0.003). Substantially fewer subjects in the E/C/F/TAF group had decreases 
in BMD of >3% at the hip than in the E/C/F/TDF group (3.0% vs 31.6%) at Week 24.

Clinical BMD status was assessed using BMD T-scores. Changes from baseline in BMD status 
at Week 24 were detennined using T-scores. At Week 24, 6 of 99 subjects (6.1 %) in the 
E/C/F/TAF group and 2 of 58 subjects (3.4%) in the E/C/F/TDF group showed a deterioration 
from baseline in spine BMD T-score category, and 1 of 99 subjects (1.1 %) in the E/C/F/TAF 
group and 5 of 54 subjects (9.3%) in the E/C/F/TDF group showed a deterioration from baseline 
in hip BMD T-score category. In the E/C/F/TAF group at Week 24, 5 subjects had improvement 
in spine BMD T-score category and 1 subject had improvement in hip BMD T-score category. 
One subject in the E/C/F/TDF group showed improvement in the hip BMD T-score category. As 
a continuous variable, median decrease from baseline BMD T-score was significantly less for 
E/C/F/TAF vs E/C/F/TDF at both spine (-0.08 vs. 0.22, p = 0.005) and hip ( 0.03 vs 0.14, 
p < 0.001). 
Bone turnover markers, including one for bone resorption (C-type collagen sequence [CTX]) and 
three for fonnation (bone specific alkaline phosphatase [bsAP], osteocalcin [OC], and 
procollagen type 1 N-tenninal propeptide [Pl NP]), were assessed to support the BMD data. 
Comparisons of percent change from baseline for each bone turnover marker at Weeks 12 and 24 
demonstrated statistically significantly less change in the E/C/F/T AF ann, and provide evidence 
of less bone turnover at both timepoints in the E/C/F/TAF ann vs the E/C/F/TDF ann 
(Table 1-11 ). These results are consistent with the observations made in the BMD analyses.

Week 24 Conclusions
Key conclusions from the Week 24 analysis of Study GS-US-292-0102 included the following:

The proportion of subjects with plasma HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/mL at Week 24 was similar 
between treatment groups

Treatment was generally well tolerated as most AEs were mild and not associated with 
treatment discontinuation. No new or unexpected adverse events occurred.

The data shows that subjects taking E/C/F/TAF had more modest changes in creatinine and 
in bone mineral density than subjects taking E/C/F/TDF. The differences were statistically 
significant and may have important clinical relevance for individual subjects.
Other than renal lab abnormalities and biomarkers and bone biomarkers, the frequency and type 
of laboratory abnormalities was comparable between the two treatment arms.

Rationale for This Study
1.3.1.
Tenofovir Alafenamide (TAF) for Treatment of Chronic Hepatitis B
Approximately one-third of the world’s population has serological evidence of past or present 
HBV infection with over 350 million people globally who are chronic HBV surface antigen 
(HBsAg) carriers. The disease burden for HBV varies regionally, with greater than 50% of all 
subjects residing in Asian countries with the highest prevalence (e.g. China, India, Vietnam, 
Indonesia, South Korea, Taiwan, the Philippines, and Pakistan). The primary goal of treatment is

to achieve and maintain virologic suppression, without resistance, which has been shown to 
translate to improvement in liver disease outcomes. Current guidelines recommend treatment for 
subjects with evidence of ongoing viral replication along with liver injury based on elevated 
levels of serum alanine aminotransaminase (ALT). 
TDF and ETV are highly potent first line therapies for CHB; however, each has specific 
limitations. TDF has a potential to cause renal- and bone-related toxicities in a subset of subjects. 
ETV has reduced activity in drug-treated populations, specifically LAM-experienced/resistant 
subjects {Baldick 2008, Tenney 2009}. The latter is a key limitation for ETV use as LAM 
remains one of the most commonly prescribed HBV treatments in most regions of the world. 
Thus, despite the availability of effective treatments there remains a clear need for newer oral 
HBV agents that are safe and well tolerated for long term use, and capable of achieving high 
rates of viral suppression with little or no potential for resistance development.
Tenofovir alafenamide (TAF), a novel prodrug of TFV, has the potential to further advance the 
treatment of CHB infection. In contrast to TDF, an agent that is rapidly and completely cleaved 
by intestinal and plasma esterases to TFV, TAF is a more stable prodrug that efficiently resists 
early enzymatic cleavage following oral administration and remains more fully intact until it is 
taken up by target cells. As a consequence, TAF, when given at a lower dose than TDF, is 
capable of efficiently delivering active drug (e.g. TFV-DP) to the virally-infected cells 
(e.g. HBV-infected hepatocytes and HIV-infected lymphoid cells) while systemic exposures of 
TFV are reduced compared with oral administration of TDF 300 mg. These features are 
hypothesized to translate into the potential for effective suppression of viral replication, and an 
improved tolerability and safety profile.
Results from GS-US-320-0101, a Phase 1b study evaluating the short-term (28 day) safety, 
efficacy (HBV DNA suppression), and PK of TAF at 4 dose levels (8 mg, 25 mg, 40 mg, and 
120 mg) compared to TDF 300 mg, has shown no dose effect in regard to viral suppression, and 
similar short-term safety and tolerability compared with TDF. Intensive PK results show 
93% or greater reductions in TFV exposures with doses of TAF 25 mg or lower compared to the 
TFV exposures generated seen with TDF 300 mg. These results, taken together with 24 weeks 
safety results from the HIV Phase 2 study GS-US-292-0102, which directly compares TAF to 
TDF (each included as a component of an STR), suggest that TAF is safe and well tolerated and 
may have a lower potential for renal- and bone-related AEs compared to TDF. Importantly, TFV 
exposures for E/C/F/TAF 10 mg are comparable to TFV exposures generated with TAF 25 mg
given as a standalone agent.
1.3.2.
Rationale for the Current Study
TDF and ETV are highly potent first line therapies for chronic HBV; however, each has specific 
limitations. TDF has a potential to cause renal- and bone-related toxicities in a subset of subjects. 
ETV has reduced activity in drug-treated populations, specifically lamivudine 
(LAM)-experienced/resistant subjects. Thus, despite the availability of effective treatments there 
remains a clear need for newer oral HBV agents that are safe and well tolerated for long term 
use, and capable of achieving high rates of viral suppression with little or no potential for 
resistance development. TAF has the potential to address each of these requirements.

The current study is designed to evaluate non-inferiority of TAF compared to TDF in regard to 
the proportion of subjects with HBV DNA levels below 29 IU/mL at Week 48. The durability of 
TAF compared to TDF in regard to the proportion of subjects with HBV DNA < 29 IU/mL at 
Weeks 96 and 144 will also be assessed in a double-blind fashion. In addition to treatment-naïve 
subjects, treatment-experienced CHB subjects who are viremic and with elevated ALT levels at 
screening are included. This is based on results from GS-US-174-0106 (ADV suboptimal 
responders) and GS-US-174-0121 (LAM-resistant subjects) which demonstrated in viremic 
patients comparable rates of HBV DNA suppression, as described below, in comparison to 
results in mostly treatment-naïve subjects participating in pivotal studies GS-US-174-0102 
(HBeAg-negative subjects) and GS-US-174-0103 (HBeAg-positive subjects). Given the unique 
properties of TAF (efficient delivery of the active moiety, TFV-DP, to HBV-infected 
hepatocytes with reduced systemic TFV exposures), this study will also evaluate the potential 
safety differences (e.g. renal- and bone-related complications) of TAF relative to TDF at 
Week 48 and long term comparative safety at Week 144, after which subjects will be further 
evaluated for safety and efficacy of TAF in an open-label TAF 25 mg QD extension phase 
through Week 384. The extension phase is important as it will enable the evaluation of subjects 
treated for the entire 384 week period with TAF as well as those who received 144 weeks of 
TDF initially in a double-blinded fashion followed by an additional 240 weeks of open-label 
TAF. The latter group will allow an ongoing assessment, including possible resolution, of any 
potential bone- and/or renal-related (or other) complications during TAF treatment that might 
have arisen under initial treatment with TDF.
The primary endpoint of this study is the proportion of subjects with HBV DNA < 29 IU/mL at 
Week 48; the lowest limit of susceptibility of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay to be 
employed (Roche COBAS® Taqman® HBV test for use with the High Pure System). A
histological component of treatment response is not included. Alternatively, non-invasive means 
(i.e. Fibrotest®) will be used to assess the degree of fibrosis at baseline and the change in fibrosis 
on an annual basis for all subjects participating in the trial. In support of this, 48 week results 
from studies, GS-US-174-0102 and GS-US-174-0103, which formed the basis for TDF approval 
for CHB, showed TDF to be superior to ADV based on a “complete response” to treatment 
(a composite endpoint of HBV DNA suppression (< 69 IU/mL) and histologic improvement 
based on repeat liver biopsy). In GS-US-174-0103, conducted in 266 HBeAg-positive subjects, 
66.5% and 12.2% of subjects randomized to TDF and ADV, respectively, achieved a complete 
response at Week 48 (treatment difference: 54.1%; p < 0.001). Of the components, HBV DNA 
suppression (proportion < 69 IU/mL) was achieved in 76.1% and 13.3% (treatment difference: 
63.1%; p < 0.001), while histologic improvement was achieved in 74.4% and 67.8% 
(treatment difference: 5.8%; p = 0.320) of TDF- and ADV-treated subjects, respectively. Thus, 
the greater potency of TDF relative to ADV resulting in a significantly higher rate of viral 
suppression was the primary element associated with the superior treatment response at 48 weeks
{Marcellin 2007, Marcellin 2008}. Similar findings were observed in HBeAg-negative subjects 
in GS-US-174-0102.
After 48 weeks, subjects in GS-US-174-0102 and GS-US-174-0103 were eligible to continue 
open-label treatment with TDF. At Year 5 (Week 240), 331/641 (52%) of subjects on TDF 
(without addition of FTC) underwent a repeat liver biopsy, and regression of fibrosis

(improvement in Ishak fibrosis score of ≥1 point) was seen in 52% (172/331) of subjects. 
Furthermore, in 94/331 (28%) subjects with cirrhosis (Ishak score ≥5) at baseline, 73% (69/94) 
were no longer cirrhotic at year 5 (≥1 unit decrease in Ishak score). These results confirm the 
benefits of long term viral suppression with TDF in terms of regression of fibrosis and reversal 
of cirrhosis in the majority of TDF-treated subjects {Marcellin 2011}.
The efficacy of TDF in viremic treatment-experienced CHB populations has been shown to be 
similar to treatment naïve subjects. In a prospective, randomized (1:1), double-blind, Phase 3b 
study (GS-US-174-0121) which compared TDF alone to the combination of FTC/TDF in 
280 HBeAg-positive and HBeAg-negative subjects receiving treatment with LAM and having 
HBV DNA > 3 log10 IU/mL with documented LAM-resistance (rtM204I/V ± rtL180M 
mutation[s]), 89.4% of TDF-treated subjects vs. 86.3% treated with FTC/TDF had HBV DNA 
< 69 IU/mL at Week 96 (primary endpoint, missing equals failure analysis; p = 0.43). BMD was 
also assessed in GS-US-174-0121, and small declines in BMD (< 2%) of both hip and spine were 
seen with equal frequency in both groups which occurred by Week 24 (spine) and Week 72 
(hip). In another prospective, randomized, double-blind study of TDF vs. FTC/TDF in 
105 HBeAg-positive and HBeAg-negative subjects with a prior suboptimal response to ADV 
(GS-US-174-0106), no differences in HBV DNA suppression (proportion less than 69 IU/mL) 
were seen between treatment groups (82.4% TDF vs. 84.0% FTC/TDF; ITT, non-completer 
equals failure; p= 0.78). Taken together, these studies support the efficacy of TDF in treatment-
experienced subjects as being similar to results seen in treatment naïve subjects.
1.3.3.
Rationale for Dose Selection
In the phase 1b study GS-US-320-0101, which has completed enrollment, 4 doses 
(8, 25, 40, and 120 mg) of TAF monotherapy, and TDF 300 mg were evaluated in 
51 treatment naïve CHB subjects. To date, all subjects have completed the 28 day dosing period. 
Results demonstrate that TAF when given in doses over a range of 8 to 120 mg results in similar
HBV DNA declines over 28 days. Furthermore, HBV DNA suppression with TAF is comparable 
to that of TDF 300 mg. In GS-US-320-0101, increased rates of viral suppression were not 
observed with higher TAF doses (40 mg, 120 mg) relative to lower TAF doses 
(8 mg and 25 mg), and similar safety profiles were observed among TAF treatment groups. PK 
results demonstrate a 93% reduction in TFV exposures relative to TDF 300 mg when TAF is 
dosed at 25 mg. These results in CHB subjects are consistent with data in healthy volunteers and 
HIV-infected subjects given TAF 25 mg as a stand alone agent. Importantly, the TFV exposures 
seen with TAF 25 mg in CHB subjects are therapeutically comparable to those in HIV patients 
receiving E/C/F/TAF 10 mg (due to an inhibitory drug-drug interaction between TAF and COBI
when these agents are included in the E/C/F/TAF STR) which provide safety data (from Phase 2 
study GS-US-292-0102) supporting the development of TAF for hepatitis B at the 25 mg dose 
level. Further, in CHB subjects participating in the Phase 1b study who were dosed at the lowest 
TAF dose (8 mg), a 97% reduction in TFV exposures relative to TDF 300 mg was observed, an 
incremental reduction in TFV exposure of only 5% at this dose level relative to TAF 25 mg.

Importantly, as previously stated, the TFV exposures at a 25 mg dose when given alone are 
consistent with TAF exposures generated with the E/C/F/TAF 10 mg STR currently in Phase 3 
development for the treatment of HIV infection. Thus, the efficacy and safety of TAF in HIV is 
also being evaluated at a dose level that is therapeutically equivalent to the dose selected for 
study GS-US-320-0110.
Final Week 24 results from GS-US-292-0102, a phase 2 study being conducted in HIV-1 
treatment-naïve subjects, demonstrated similar safety and tolerability of TAF vs. TDF when each 
is included as a component of STRs containing elvitegravir, cobicistat, and emtricitabine. At 
Week 24, significant differences were noted between arms in regard to smaller declines in hip 
BMD, estimated CLCr (Cockcroft-Gault), and changes in various biomarkers of bone and renal 
function which are suggestive or differences in bone and renal tolerability of TAF vs. TDF. 
Similar assessments will be included in the present trial in chronic HBV subjects, and the study 
is sufficiently powered to demonstrate a potentially superior safety profile for TAF relative to 
TDF in regard to these bone and renal parameters.
In summary, a 25 mg dose was selected for TAF for use in this non-inferiority trial based upon 
the safety profile for TAF in treatment naïve HIV-1-infected subjects from GS-US-292-0102, 
which utilizes a therapeutically equivalent TAF dose (10 mg as a component of the E/C/F/TAF 
STR), the viral suppression results in chronic HBV subjects in GS-US-320-0101 showing 
comparable rates of HBV DNA decline for a TAF 25 mg dose compared to TDF 300 mg
(the approved dose for treatment of HBV), and the reduced systemic TFV exposures (~93%) 
seen with TAF relative to TDF 300 mg, when dosed at this level.

Study Design
This is a randomized, double-blind, non-inferiority study to compare the antiviral activity of 
TAF 25 mg versus TDF 300 mg QD. Approximately 864 subjects will be randomized in a 
2:1 ratio (A: B) to the treatment arms for 144 weeks (96 weeks, under Amendment 2.1), and will 
be stratified by plasma HBV DNA level (> 8 log10 IU/mL vs. < 8 log10 IU/mL) and oral antiviral 
treatment status (treatment-naïve vs. treatment-experienced). 
For China, approximately 150 additional subjects will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio (A: B) to the 
treatment arms for 96 weeks, and will be stratified by plasma HBV DNA level (≥8 log10 IU/mL 
vs. < 8 log10 IU/mL) and oral antiviral treatment status (treatment-naïve vs. 
treatment-experienced). 
A centralized randomization procedure via an Interactive Voice/Web Response System 
(IVRS/IWRS) will be used for this study, whereby study treatment will be assigned to subjects 
according to the randomization schedule. A unique subject number will be provided during 
randomization. If the subject is deemed ineligible for this study by HBV serology 
(i.e. HBeAg negative CHB), this information may be used to determine eligibility for 
GS-US-320-0108 (another Gilead Sciences Phase 3 study in HBeAg negative, CHB subjects; 
this study must also be IRB/EC approved at the participating center).
At Week 144, all subjects will be switched to the open label TAF 25 mg QD extension period for 
an additional 240 weeks (Week 144 through Week 384). Subjects already assigned to open-label 
TAF 25 mg QD at Week 96 per Amendment 2.1 will continue on open-label TAF 25 mg QD 
through Week 384/ED. All subjects who complete the double-blind period of treatment are 
eligible for participation in the open label TAF 25 mg QD extension period. Subjects who 
permanently discontinue study drug for reasons other than HBsAg loss with confirmed 
seroconversion to anti-HBs (either prematurely [ED] or at the end of study [Week 384]) will be 
followed every 4 weeks for 24 weeks off treatment or until initiation of alternative, commercially 
available HBV therapy, whichever occurs first. 
Subjects with a history of or current diagnosis of compensated cirrhosis are eligible for 
enrollment. Acceptable diagnostic criteria for cirrhosis include a Metavir or Knodell fibrosis 
score ≥ 4 or Ishak fibrosis score ≥ 5 by liver biopsy, or previous Fibroscan result > 12kPa 
(in countries where locally approved). Available information regarding the presence or absence 
of cirrhosis by these criteria will be captured in the electronic case report forms at Baseline, and 
any other time during the trial should an investigator opt to undertake additional studies. 
Importantly, the change in fibrosis as assessed by Fibrotest® will be performed in all subjects 
participating in the trial at Baseline, and annually thereafter through Week 384/ED.

Duration of Treatment
The duration of double-blind treatment is 144 weeks (96 weeks under Amendment 2.1). At 
Week 144, all subjects remaining on blinded treatment will be switched to the open-label TAF 
25 mg QD extension period for an additional 240 weeks (Week 144 through Week 384/ED). 
Subjects already assigned to open-label TAF 25 mg QD at Week 96 per Amendment 2.1 will 
continue on open-label TAF 25 mg QD through Week 384/ED. All subjects who complete the 
double-blind period of treatment are eligible for participation in the open-label TAF 25 mg QD
extension period. Subjects who permanently discontinue study drug (either prematurely [ED] or 
at the end of study [Week 384]) for reasons other than HBsAg loss with confirmed 
seroconversion to anti-HBs will be followed every 4 weeks for 24 weeks off treatment or until 
initiation of alternative, commercially available HBV therapy, whichever occurs first. 
3.5.
Discontinuation Criteria
Study medication may be discontinued in the following instances:

Intercurrent illness that would, in the judgment of the investigator, affect assessments of 
clinical status to a significant degree

Unacceptable toxicity, as defined in the toxicity management section of the protocol, or 
toxicity that, in the judgment of the investigator, compromises the ability to continue 
study-specific procedures or is considered to not be in the subject’s best interest

Subjects with confirmed creatinine clearance of < 30 mL/min will have their study drug 
permanently discontinued

Lack of efficacy (virologic failure) 

HBsAg loss with sero-conversion to anti-HBs. These subjects should discontinue study drug 
within 3-6 months following confirmation of seroconversion to anti-HBs. Subjects with 
HBsAg loss with confirmed seroconversion before Week 48 are not permitted to discontinue 
study drug prior to the Week 48 visit

Discontinuation of study drug for subjects experiencing HBsAg loss with confirmed 
seroconversion to anti-HBs, who have known bridging fibrosis or cirrhosis, should be 
considered on a case by case basis

Subject request to discontinue for any reason

Subject noncompliance

Pregnancy during the study; refer to Appendix 6

Discontinuation of the study at the request of Gilead Sciences, a regulatory agency or an 
institutional review board or independent ethics committee (IRB/IEC)

Randomization, Blinding and Treatment Codes
A centralized randomization procedure via an Interactive Voice/Web Response System 
(IVRS/IWRS) will be used for this study, whereby study treatment will be assigned to subjects 
according to the randomization schedule. A unique subject number will be provided during 
randomization. If the subject is deemed ineligible for this study by HBV serology 
(i.e. HBeAg negative CHB), this information may be used to determine eligibility for 
GS-US-320-0108 (another Gilead Sciences Phase 3 study in HBeAg negative, CHB subjects; 
this study must also be IRB/EC approved at the participating center). Eligible subjects will be 
randomized 2:1 to receive either blinded TAF 25 mg and TDF 300 mg matched placebo or TDF 
300 mg and TAF 25 mg matched placebo for 144 weeks (96 weeks under Amendment 2.1). 
Subjects will be stratified by screening plasma HBV DNA level (≥8 log10 IU/mL vs. 
< 8 log10 IU/mL) and oral antiviral treatment status (treatment-naïve vs. treatment-experienced). 
At Week 144, all subjects will be switched to open-label TAF 25 mg QD for up to an additional
240 weeks (Week 144 through Week 384/ED). Subjects already assigned to open-label TAF 
25 mg QD at Week 96 per Amendment 2.1 will continue on open-label TAF 25 mg QD through 
Week 384/ED. For the entire duration of the study, subjects and investigators will remain blinded 
to the initial treatment regimen to which the subjects were randomized.
5.1.1.
Procedures for Breaking Treatment Codes
In the event of a medical emergency where breaking the blind is required to provide medical care 
to the subject, the investigator may obtain treatment assignment directly from the IVRS/IWRS
for that subject. Gilead recommends but does not require that the investigator contact the 
Gilead Medical Monitor before breaking the blind. Treatment assignment should remain blinded 
unless that knowledge is necessary to determine subject emergency medical care. The rationale 
for unblinding must be clearly explained in source documentation and on the electronic case 
report form (eCRF), along with the date on which the treatment assignment was obtained. The 
investigator is requested to contact the Gilead Medical Monitor promptly in case of any 
treatment unblinding.
Blinding of study treatment is critical to the integrity of this clinical trial and therefore, if a 
subject’s treatment assignment is disclosed to the investigator, the subject will have study 
treatment discontinued. All subjects will be followed until study completion unless consent to do 
so is specifically withdrawn by the subject.
Gilead Pharmacovigilance and Epidemiology (PVE) may independently unblind cases for 
expedited reporting of suspected unexpected serious adverse reactions (SUSARs).

For China, approximately 150 additional subjects will be randomized 2:1 to receive either 
Treatment A (n = 100) or Treatment B (n = 50) for 144 weeks (96 weeks under Amendment 2.1).
After 144 weeks of blinded randomized treatment (96 weeks under Amendment 2.1), each 
subject will switch to open-label TAF 25 mg QD for up to an additional 240 weeks
(Week 144 through Week 384/ED). Subjects already assigned to open-label TAF 25 mg QD at 
Week 96 per Amendment 2.1 will continue on open-label TAF 25 mg QD until Week 384/ED.
It is preferred that subjects take their study drug according to a morning dosing schedule; 
however, evening dosing is allowable.
All study drugs should be taken at approximately the same time each day with food.
Observed in-clinic study drug dosing is required at Weeks 4 and 12 visits. It is preferred that 
subjects take their study drug according to a morning dosing schedule; however, evening dosing 
is allowable. Subjects who elect to dose in evening are not required to have in-clinic dosing and 
the single PK blood sample collection at the Weeks 4 and 12 visits. Study drug should be 
administered after assessing adverse events and concomitant medication(s).
5.4.
Prior and Concomitant Medications
Concomitant/previous medications taken within 30 days of screening, up to and including the 
date of the visit 4 weeks after discontinuation of study treatment, need to be recorded in the 
source documents and eCRFs.
Concomitant use of some medications including herbal/natural products/therapies and over the 
counter medications with TAF may result in PK interactions.
Should subjects have a need to initiate treatment with any excluded concomitant medication, 
including herbal/natural products/therapies, and over the counter medications, the 
Gilead Sciences Medical Monitor must be consulted prior to initiation of the new medication. In 
instances where an excluded medication is initiated prior to discussion with the Sponsor, the 
investigator must notify Gilead Sciences as soon as he/she is aware of the use of the excluded 
medication.
The following medications are excluded while subjects are participating in the study. These 
medications are prohibited during the screening period and for a minimum of 30 days prior 
to the Baseline/Day 1 visit through the end of treatment:

Accountability for Tenofovir Alafenamide (TAF), Tenofovir Disoproxil 
Fumarate (TDF) and Matched Placebos
The investigator or designee (e.g., pharmacist) is responsible for ensuring adequate 
accountability of all used and unused investigational medicinal product (IMP) kits and/or bottles. 
This includes acknowledgement of receipt of each shipment of IMP (quantity and condition). All 
used and unused IMP kits and/or bottles dispensed to subjects must be returned to the site.
IMP accountability records will be provided to each study site to:

Record the date received and quantity of IMP kits and/or bottles.

Record the date, subject number, subject initials, the IMP kit number dispensed.

Record the date, quantity of used and unused IMP kits and/or bottles returned, along with the 
initials of the person recording the information.
5.5.1.
Investigational Medicinal Product Return or Disposal
At the start of the study, the study monitor will evaluate each study center’s study drug disposal 
procedures and provide appropriate instruction for return or destruction of unused study drug 
supplies. If the site has an appropriate Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for drug destruction, 
the site may destroy used (empty kits and/or bottles) and unused study drug supplies performed 
in accordance with the site’s (hospital/pharmacy) SOP. If the site does not have acceptable 
procedures in place for drug destruction, arrangements will be made between the site and 
Gilead Sciences (or Gilead Sciences’ representative) for return of unused study drug supplies. A 
copy of the site’s SOP will be obtained for central files. Where possible, study drug will be 
destroyed at the site. Upon study completion, a copy of the Investigational Drug Accountability 
records must be filed at the site. Another copy will be returned to Gilead Sciences. If drug is 
destroyed on site, the investigator must maintain accurate records for all study drug kits and/or 
bottles destroyed. Records must show the identification and quantity of each unit destroyed, the 
method of destruction, and person who disposed of the drug. All study drug records must be 
maintained at the site and copies must be submitted to Gilead Sciences at the end of the study.

STUDY PROCEDURES
The study procedures to be conducted for each subject enrolled in the study are presented in 
tabular form in Appendix 2 and described in the text that follows. 
The investigator must document any deviation from protocol procedures and notify the sponsor 
or contract research organization (CRO).
6.1.
Subject Enrollment and Treatment Assignment
It is the responsibility of the investigator to ensure that subjects are eligible to participate in the 
study prior to enrollment. Once consent has been obtained, all screening tests and procedures 
have been completed, and study eligibility has been confirmed, subjects will be randomized
within 45 days using an IVRS/IWRS. Subjects will receive study drugs within their assigned 
treatment group as described in Section 5.1. Candidates who fail to meet eligibility criteria by 
screening evaluations may be re-screened once after the initial screen if there is a reasonable 
expectation that the candidate will be eligible after repeat screening.
Retesting of exclusionary laboratory values during the Screening period is permitted only if in 
the Principal Investigator’s opinion, there is reason to believe the retest value will be within 
accepted parameters; if the initial value was deemed to be inaccurate, inconsistent with the 
subject’s previous result(s); in error (e.g. mishandled sample); or due to an extenuating 
circumstance.
6.2.
Pretreatment Assessments
6.2.1.
Screening Visit
Subjects will be screened within 45 days before Baseline to determine eligibility for participation 
in the study. The following will be performed and documented during the screening period:

Obtain written informed consent

Review of inclusion/exclusion criteria

Obtain medical history, including HBV history

Review concomitant medications

Record any serious adverse events and all adverse events related to protocol mandated 
procedures occurring after signing of the consent form

Early Discontinuation (ED) from Study
If a subject discontinues study dosing for reasons other than HBsAg loss with confirmed 
seroconversion to anti-HBs (for example, as a result of an AE), every attempt should be made to 
keep the subject in the study and continue to perform the required study-related follow-up and 
procedures (see Section 6.6, Criteria for Discontinuation of Study Treatment. If this is not 
possible or acceptable to the subject or investigator, the subject may be withdrawn from the 
study. Early discontinuation assessments are described in Section 6.3.2.2.
6.6.
Criteria for Discontinuation of Study Treatment
Study medication may be discontinued in the following instances:

Intercurrent illness that would, in the judgment of the investigator, affect assessments of 
clinical status to a significant degree

Unacceptable toxicity, as defined in the toxicity management section of the protocol, or 
toxicity that, in the judgment of the investigator, compromises the ability to continue 
study-specific procedures or is considered to not be in the subject’s best interest

Subjects with confirmed creatinine clearance of < 30 mL/min at any time during the study 
will have their study drug permanently discontinued

Lack of efficacy (virologic failure) 

HBsAg loss with sero-conversion to anti-HBs. These subjects should discontinue study drug 
within 3-6 months following confirmation of seroconversion to anti-HBs. Subjects with 
HBsAg loss with confirmed seroconversion before Week 48 are not permitted to discontinue 
study drug prior to the Week 48 visit

Discontinuation of study drug for subjects experiencing HBsAg loss with confirmed 
seroconversion to anti-HBs, who have known bridging fibrosis or cirrhosis, should be 
considered on a case by case basis

subjects (HBV DNA ~ 69 IU/mL) at Week 48, and every 48 weeks until Week 384/ED visit. 
At Baseline, genotypic analysis will be conducted by INNO-LiPA Multi-DR v3 (hmogenetics), 
which will detennine the presence of HBV pol/ RT mutations known to confer resistance to 
lamivudine, adefovir, entecavir, clevudine, and/or telbivudine. 
Every 48 weeks post baseline (if viremic), resistance surveillance will be conducted by 
population sequencing of the HBV pol/RT. 
As it may not be known at the time of the visit whether a subject is viremic or if it will be their 
last study visit, a separate virology sample for potential resistance surveillance will be collected 
at each study visit.

ADVERSE EVENTS AND TOXICITY MANAGEMENT
7.1.
Definitions of Adverse Events, Adverse Reactions, and Serious Adverse 
Events
7.1.1.
Adverse Events
An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study subject 
administered a medicinal product, which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the
treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and/or unintended sign, symptom, or disease 
temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to 
the medicinal product. AEs may also include pre- or post-treatment complications that occur as a 
result of protocol specified procedures, lack of efficacy, overdose, drug abuse/misuse reports, or 
occupational exposure. Preexisting events that increase in severity or change in nature during or 
as a consequence of participation in the clinical study will also be considered AEs.
An AE does not include the following:

Medical or surgical procedures such as surgery, endoscopy, tooth extraction, and transfusion.
The condition that led to the procedure may be an adverse event and must be reported.

Pre-existing diseases, conditions, or laboratory abnormalities present or detected before the 
screening visit that do not worsen

Situations where an untoward medical occurrence has not occurred (e.g., hospitalization for 
elective surgery, social and/or convenience admissions)

Overdose without clinical sequelae (see Section 7.6.1)

Any medical condition or clinically significant laboratory abnormality with an onset date 
before the consent form is signed and not related to a protocol-associated procedure is not an 
AE. It is considered to be pre-existing and should be documented on the medical history 
CRF.
7.1.2.
Serious Adverse Events
A serious adverse event (SAE) is defined as an event that, at any dose, results in the following:

Death

Life-threatening (Note: The term “life-threatening” in the definition of “serious” refers to an 
event in which the subject was at risk of death at the time of the event; it does not refer to an 
event that hypothetically might have caused death if it were more severe.)

In-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization

Amendment 3.4
CONFIDENTIAL
Page 91
25 September 2019

Persistent or significant disability/incapacity

A congenital anomaly/birth defect

A medically important event or reaction: such events may not be immediately 
life-threatening or result in death or hospitalization but may jeopardize the subject or may 
require intervention to prevent one of the other outcomes constituting SAEs. Medical and 
scientific judgment must be exercised to determine whether such an event is a reportable 
under expedited reporting rules. Examples of medically important events include intensive 
treatment in an emergency room or at home for allergic bronchospasm; blood dyscrasias or 
convulsions that do not result in hospitalization; and development of drug dependency or 
drug abuse. For the avoidance of doubt, infections resulting from contaminated medicinal 
product will be considered a medically important event and subject to expedited reporting 
requirements.
7.1.3.
Clinical Laboratory Abnormalities and Other Abnormal Assessments as 
Adverse Events or Serious Adverse Events
Laboratory abnormalities are usually not recorded as AEs or SAEs. However, laboratory 
abnormalities (eg, clinical chemistry, hematology, and urinalysis) that require medical or surgical 
intervention or lead to IMP interruption, modification, or discontinuation must be recorded as an 
AE, as well as an SAE, if applicable. In addition, laboratory or other abnormal assessments 
(eg, electrocardiogram, x-rays, vital signs) that are associated with signs and/or symptoms must 
be recorded as an AE or SAE if they meet the definition of an AE or SAE as described in 
Sections 7.1.1and 7.1.2. If the laboratory abnormality is part of a syndrome, record the syndrome 
or diagnosis (eg, anemia), not the laboratory result (ie, decreased hemoglobin).
7.2.
Assessment of Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events
The investigator or qualified subinvestigator is responsible for assessing AEs and SAEs for 
causality and severity, and for final review and confirmation of accuracy of event information 
and assessments.
7.2.1.
Assessment of Causality for Study Drugs and Procedures
The investigator or qualified sub-investigator is responsible for assessing the relationship to IMP 
therapy using clinical judgment and the following considerations:

No: Evidence exists that the adverse event has an etiology other than the IMP. For SAEs, an 
alternative causality must be provided (eg, pre-existing condition, underlying disease, 
intercurrent illness, or concomitant medication).

Yes: There is reasonable possibility that the event may have been caused by the 
investigational medicinal product.

Gilead Sciences, Inc.
Amendment 3.4
CONFIDENTIAL
Page 92
25 September 2019
It should be emphasized that ineffective treatment should not be considered as causally related in 
the context of adverse event reporting. 
The relationship to study procedures (eg, invasive procedures such as venipuncture or biopsy) 
should be assessed using the following considerations:

No: Evidence exists that the adverse event has an etiology other than the study procedure.

Yes: The adverse event occurred as a result of protocol procedures, (eg., venipuncture)
7.2.2.
Assessment of Severity
Severity of adverse events is to be determined based on GSI Grading Scale for Severity of 
Adverse Events and Laboratory Abnormalities (Appendix 5). A distinction should be drawn 
between seriousness and severity of AEs. An AE that is assessed as Grade 4 
(potentially life-threatening) should not be confused with an SAE. Severity is a category utilized 
for rating the intensity of an event: both AEs and SAEs can be assessed as Grade 4. An event is 
defined as “serious” when it meets one of the predefined outcomes described above in 
Section 7.2.
7.3.
Investigator Requirements and Instructions for Reporting Adverse Events 
and Serious Adverse Events to Gilead or CRO
Requirements for collection prior to study drug initiation:
After informed consent, but prior to initiation of study medication, the following types of events 
should be reported on the case report form (CRF/eCRF): all serious adverse events (SAEs) and 
adverse events related to protocol-mandated procedures.
Adverse Events
Following initiation of study medication, collect all AEs, regardless of cause or relationship, 
until 4-weeks after last administration of study IMP. AEs must be reported to the CRF/eCRF 
database as instructed.
All AEs should be followed up until resolution or until the adverse event is stable, if possible. 
Gilead Sciences may request that certain AEs be followed beyond the protocol defined follow up 
period.
Serious Adverse Events
All SAEs, regardless of cause or relationship, that occurs after the subject first consents to 
participate in the study (ie, signing the informed consent) and throughout the duration of the 
study, including the protocol-required post treatment follow-up period, must be reported to the 
CRF/eCRF database and Gilead Pharmacovigilance and Epidemiology (PVE) as instructed. This 
also includes any SAEs resulting from protocol-associated procedures performed after informed 
consent is signed. Any SAEs and deaths, regardless of causality, that occur during the post

treatment follow-up period or within 30 days of the last dose of study drug, when subject 
transitions to alternative, commercially available HBV therapy, should also be reported.
Investigators are not obligated to actively seek SAEs after the protocol defined follow up period.
However, if the investigator learns of any SAEs that occur after study participation has 
concluded and the event is deemed relevant to the use of IMP, he/she should promptly document 
and report the event to Gilead PVE.

All AEs and SAEs will be recorded in the CRF/eCRF database within the timelines outlined 
in the CRF/eCRF completion guideline. 

At the time of study start, SAEs may be reported using a paper serious adverse event 
reporting form, but sites will transition to an electronic SAE (eSAE) system. Gilead will 
notify sites in writing and provide training and account information prior to implementing an 
eSAE system.
Serious Adverse Event Paper Reporting Process

All SAEs will be recorded on the serious adverse event report form and submitted by faxing 
or emailing the report form within 24 hours of the investigator’s knowledge of the event to 
the attention of Gilead PVE or to the designated CRO.
Electronic Serious Adverse Event (eSAE) Reporting Process 

Site personnel record all SAE data in the eCRF database and from there transmit the SAE 
information to Gilead PVE within 24 hours of the investigator’s knowledge of the event. 
Detailed instructions can be found in the eCRF completion guidelines.

If for any reason it is not possible to record the SAE information electronically, ie, the eCRF 
database is not functioning, record the SAE on the paper serious adverse event reporting 
form and submit within 24 hours as described above.

As soon as it is possible to do so, any SAE reported via paper must be transcribed into the 
eCRF Database according to instructions in the eCRF completion guidelines.

If an SAE has been reported via a paper form because the eCRF database has been locked, no 
further action is necessary.


For fatal or life-threatening events, copies of hospital case reports, autopsy reports, and other 
documents are also to be submitted by e-mail or fax when requested and applicable. 
Transmission of such documents should occur without personal subject identification, 
maintaining the traceability of a document to the subject identifiers.

Additional information may be requested to ensure the timely completion of accurate safety 
reports.
Any medications necessary for treatment of the SAE must be recorded onto the concomitant 
medication section of the subject’s CRF/eCRF and the event description section of the SAE 
form.
7.4.
Gilead Reporting Requirements
Depending on relevant local legislation or regulations, including the applicable US FDA Code of 
Federal Regulations, the EU Clinical Trials Directive (2001/20/EC) and relevant updates, and 
other country-specific legislation or regulations, Gilead may be required to expedite to 
worldwide regulatory agencies reports of SAEs, serious adverse drug reactions (SADRs), or 
suspected unexpected serious adverse reactions (SUSARs). In accordance with the EU Clinical 
Trials Directive (2001/20/EC), Gilead or a specified designee will notify worldwide regulatory 
agencies and the relevant IEC in concerned Member States of applicable SUSARs as outlined in 
current regulations.
Assessment of expectedness for SAEs will be determined by Gilead using reference safety 
information specified in the investigator’s brochure or relevant local label as applicable. 
All investigators will receive a safety letter notifying them of relevant SUSAR reports. The 
investigator should notify the IRB or IEC of SUSAR reports as soon as is practical, where this is 
required by local regulatory agencies, and in accordance with the local institutional policy. 
7.5.
Toxicity Management

All clinical and clinically significant laboratory toxicities will be managed according to 
uniform guidelines detailed in Appendix 4.

Grade 3 and 4 clinically significant laboratory abnormalities should be confirmed by repeat 
testing within 3 calendar days of receipt of results and before investigational medicinal 
product discontinuation, unless such a delay is not consistent with good medical practice.

Clinical events and clinically significant laboratory abnormalities will be graded according to 
the Table for GSI Grading Scale for Severity of Adverse Events and Laboratory 
Abnormalities (Appendix 5).

When restarting investigational medicinal product following resolution of the adverse event, 
the investigational medicinal product should be restarted at full dose or modified dose that is 
dependent upon discussion with the Gilead Sciences Medical Monitor.


Any recurrence of the investigational medicinal product-related Grade 3 or 4 clinical or 
clinically significant laboratory adverse event following dose interruption mandates 
permanent discontinuation of investigational medicinal product.

Administration of study drug may be discontinued due to a clinical or laboratory event. The 
Gilead Medical Monitor should be consulted prior to dose discontinuation of study drug 
unless the investigator believes that immediate action is warranted to ensure the continued 
safety of subject.

Any questions regarding toxicity management should be directed to the Gilead Sciences 
Medical Monitor.
7.5.1.
Grades 1 and 2 Laboratory Abnormality or Clinical Event

Continue investigational medicinal product at the discretion of the investigator.
7.5.2.
Grade 3 Laboratory Abnormality or Clinical Event

For Grade 3 clinically significant laboratory abnormality or clinical event, investigational 
medicinal product may be continued if the event is considered to be unrelated to 
investigational medicinal product.

For a Grade 3 clinical event, or clinically significant laboratory abnormality confirmed by 
repeat testing, that is considered to be related to investigational medicinal product, 
investigational medicinal product should be withheld until the toxicity returns to ≤Grade 2.

If a laboratory abnormality recurs to ≥Grade 3 following rechallenge with investigational 
medicinal product and is considered related to investigational medicinal product, then 
investigational medicinal product should be permanently discontinued and the subject 
managed according to local practice. Recurrence of laboratory abnormalities considered 
unrelated to investigational medicinal product may not require permanent discontinuation.
7.5.3.
Grade 4 Laboratory Abnormality or Clinical Event

For a Grade 4 clinical event or clinically significant Grade 4 laboratory abnormality 
confirmed by repeat testing that is considered related to investigational medicinal product, 
investigational medicinal product should be permanently discontinued and the subject 
managed according to local practice. The subject should be followed as clinically indicated 
until the laboratory abnormality returns to baseline or is otherwise explained, whichever 
occurs first. A clinically significant Grade 4 laboratory abnormality that is not confirmed by 
repeat testing should be managed according to the algorithm for the new toxicity grade.

Investigational medicinal product may be continued without dose interruption for a clinically 
non-significant Grade 4 laboratory abnormality (e.g., Grade 4 CK after strenuous exercise, or 
triglyceride elevation that is nonfasting or that can be medically managed) or a clinical event 
considered unrelated to investigational medicinal product.

Management of Bone Evaluation
As there is uncertainty surrounding the clinical significance and management of decreases in 
bone mineral density for chronic HBV- infected patients, Gilead recommends that any subject 
who has a DXA scan that demonstrates a decrease from baseline of > 5% in bone mineral density 
of the spine region or the hip region be followed per local medical practice at the discretion of 
the investigator.
7.5.5.
Management of Potential Nephrotoxicity
Creatinine clearance (CLCr), estimated according to the Cockcroft-Gault formula, will be 
followed post-baseline during the study. All subjects with estimated CLCr < 50 mL/min must 
have serum creatinine measured again within 3 calendar days of receipt of results. At the time of 
this repeat serum creatinine assessment, Cystatin C will also be measured and the estimated 
glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) by CKD-EPI (cystatin C) will be calculated and compared with 
the baseline measurement of this parameter. During the double-blind period, any subject who has 
a confirmed CLCr estimated by the Cockroft-Gault formula < 50 mL/min and also experiences a 
> 20% reduction in eGFR by CKD-EPI (cystatin C) from baseline, will be managed as described 
below:
CKD-EPI (cystatin C) formula adjusted for age and sex:
eGFR (mL/min/1.73m2) = 133 × min(Scys/0.8, 1)−0.499 × max (Scys/0.8, 1)−1.328 ×
0.996Age [× 0.932 if female],
where Scys is serum cystatin C (mg/L), min (Scys/0.8,1) indicates the minimum of
Scys/0.8 or 1, and max (Scys/0.8,1) indicates the maximum of Scys/κ or 1.
Subjects meeting the above eGFR criteria (i.e. confirmed CLCr < 50 mL/min by Cockcroft-Gault 
equation and >20% reduction from baseline in eGFR by CKD-EPI equation) will be managed as 
follows:

If the CLCr is confirmed to be ≥ 30 mL/min and < 50 mL/min, the subject will be required to 
undergo dose modification to every other day dosing of study drug during the double-blind 
period only.

If the CLCr is confirmed ≥ 30 mL/min to < 50 mL/min and the subject has undergone dose 
modification to every other day dosing of study drug and subsequently develops a confirmed 
CLCr ≥50 mL/min, the subject may revert to once daily dosing of study drug after discussion 
with the Gilead Medical Monitor.

If the CLCr is confirmed to be < 30 mL/min at any time during the study, the subject will be 
required to permanently discontinue study drug


All subjects with a change from baseline serum creatinine of ≥ 0.4 mg/dL must have serum 
creatinine repeated, with a concurrent urinalysis and urine chemistry, within two weeks of 
receipt of results. The following management will be required dependent upon the 
corresponding creatinine clearance value:
If creatinine clearance is < 50 ml/min, or the subject has other clinical and/or laboratory 
evidence of acute renal failure, the subject will be managed according to the guidance 
described above.
If creatinine clearance is ≥ 50 ml/min and the repeat testing of serum creatinine confirms 
a Grade1 or Grade 2 serum creatinine elevation, it is recommended that subject be 
monitored weekly until the serum creatinine level returns to a value within the normal 
laboratory range.

All subjects with negative or trace proteinuria at baseline that develop ≥1+ proteinuria on 
urinalysis must have a urinalysis repeated, with a concurrent urinalysis and urine chemistry, 
within two weeks of receipt of results. Upon confirmation of new proteinuria, subjects will 
be asked to return to the clinic for a scheduled or unscheduled follow up visit for evaluation. 
It is recommended that the investigator contact the Gilead Medical Monitor to discuss if 
further consultation with a nephrologist is clinically warranted.
7.5.6.
On-Treatment ALT Flare and Post-Treatment Exacerbation of Hepatitis 
Management
On-Treatment ALT Flare is defined as:

Confirmed (within 3 days of receipt of results) serum ALT > 2 baseline value and
> 10 ULN, with or without associated symptoms
7.5.6.1.
Management of ALT Flare in Subjects Receiving Study Medication
If laboratory results indicate elevation of ALT 2 × baseline and 10 × ULN, the following is 
recommended:

Schedule the subject to return to the clinic as soon as possible and (ideally within 3 days after 
the initial labs were drawn). During the visit, perform a clinical assessment of the subject. 
The assessment should include a physical examination and evaluation of the subject’s mental 
status. 

Check the following laboratory parameters: serum ALT and AST, total bilirubin, INR and 
serum albumin.

If the ALT elevation is confirmed, the central clinical laboratory will conduct reflex testing 
for plasma HBV DNA, serology for HBV (HBsAg, HBsAb, HBeAg and HBeAb), HDV, 
HAV IgM, HCV, and HEV

Based on the results of the confirmatory tests, the following treatment modifications are 
recommended:
Elevated Liver Enzymes, Normal or Stable Relative to Baseline Liver Function Tests
If ALT levels are elevated (i.e., > 2 × baseline and > 10 × ULN), with normal or stable total 
bilirubin and INR relative to baseline, the subject may remain on study medication and should be 
monitored every week until ALT values return to normal or baseline levels. 
During monitoring, if the ALT values remain persistently elevated, the investigator should 
discuss with the Gilead Medical Monitor if the study drug should be discontinued.
For subjects with bridging fibrosis or cirrhosis, study drug discontinuation with treatment-free
follow-up is to be avoided due to the potential risk of exacerbation of hepatitis in the setting of 
low hepatic reserve which could lead to decompensation. Subjects with bridging fibrosis or 
cirrhosis should be placed on commercially available HBV therapy following study drug 
discontinuation.
Elevated Liver Enzymes, Elevated Liver Function Tests
If ALT values are elevated (i.e., > 2 × baseline and > 10 × ULN), total bilirubin is confirmed 
2 × baseline value, and INR is 0.5 above baseline, provided both are > ULN, the investigator 
should consider discontinuing study medication (upon discussion with the 
Gilead Medical Monitor, unless the safety of the subject is of immediate concern). 
The subject should be monitored weekly as long as ALT, total bilirubin and INR values remain 
elevated or above baseline values.
During monitoring, if the ALT and the liver function tests remain persistently elevated, the 
investigator should discuss with the Gilead Medical Monitor if the study drug should be 
discontinued.
For subjects with bridging fibrosis or cirrhosis, study drug discontinuation with treatment-free
follow-up is to be avoided due to the potential risk of exacerbation of hepatitis in the setting of 
low hepatic reserve which could lead to decompensation. Subjects with bridging fibrosis or 
cirrhosis should be placed on commercially available HBV therapy following study drug 
discontinuation.
7.5.6.2.
Management of Exacerbation of Hepatitis in Subjects who have Discontinued 
Study Medication
If laboratory results indicate (1) an ALT elevation > 2 × baseline and > 10 × ULN alone OR 
associated with (2) abnormal laboratory parameters suggestive of worsening hepatic function 
(total bilirubin 2 × baseline, INR 0.5 above baseline, provided both are > ULN) and the subject is 
on no post-study therapy for HBV, the following is recommended:


Schedule the subject to return to the clinic as soon as possible (ideally no later than 3 days 
after the initial labs were drawn). During the visit, perform a clinical assessment of the 
subject. 

Check the following laboratory parameters: serum ALT and AST, total bilirubin, INR, and 
albumin.

If the ALT elevations are confirmed, the Central Clinical Laboratory will conduct reflex 
testing for plasma HBV DNA, serology for HBV (HBsAg, HBsAb, HBeAg and HBeAb), 
HDV, HAV IgM, HCV and HEV. If serum plasma HBV DNA is increasing, the investigator 
should consider immediate initiation of approved therapy. 

The subject should be followed until laboratory parameters (ALT, total bilirubin, INR) return 
to normal or baseline up to a maximum of 6 months after the initial occurrence of the event.
7.5.7.
Management of Potential Posterior Uveitis Cases
In a nine-month toxicology study conducted in dogs, some animals administered the highest dose 
of TAF (12-18mg/kg) had minimal mononuclear cell infiltration in the posterior uvea, 
considered secondary to general debilitation; this finding did not occur in animals given lower 
doses and it has not occurred in other animal studies. This pre-clinical finding has also not been 
observed in humans where the dose administered is lower than that given in the dog study, nor 
have there been reports of posterior uveitis in human clinical studies thus far. Nonetheless, if any 
subject develops signs or symptoms of posterior uveitis, investigators should contact the 
Gilead Medical Monitor to discuss the need for additional ophthalmologic evaluation including 
dilated fundoscopy and optical coherence tomography (OCT).
7.6.
Special Situations Reports
7.6.1.
Definitions of Special Situations
Special situation reports include all reports of medication error, abuse, misuse, overdose, lack of 
effect reports and pregnancy reports regardless of an associated AE. Also includes reports of
adverse reactions in infants following exposure from breastfeeding, and reports of adverse 
reactions associated with product complaints and reports arising from occupational exposure.
Medication error is any unintentional error in the prescribing, dispensing, or administration of a 
medicinal product while in the control of the health care provider, subject, or consumer. 
Abuse is defined as persistent or sporadic intentional excessive use of a medicinal product by a 
subject.
Misuse is defined as any intentional or inappropriate use of a medicinal product that is not in 
accordance with the protocol instructions or the local prescribing information.

An overdose is defined as an accidental or intentional administration of a quantity of a medicinal 
product given per administration or cumulatively which is above the maximum recommended 
dose as per protocol or in the product labelling (as it applies to the daily dose of the subject in 
question). In cases of a discrepancy in drug accountability, overdose will be established only 
when it is clear that the subject has taken the excess dose(s). Overdose cannot be established 
when the subject cannot account for the discrepancy except in cases in which the investigator has 
reason to suspect that the subject has taken the additional dose(s).
Lack of effect is defined as a situation where there is apparent failure of the medicinal product or
medical technology to bring about the intended beneficial effect on the individual in a defined 
population with a given medical problem, under ideal conditions of use. 
Product complaint is defined as complaints arising from potential deviations in the manufacture, 
packaging, or distribution of the medicinal product.  
7.6.2.
Instructions for Reporting Special Situations
7.6.2.1.
Instructions for Reporting Pregnancies
The investigator should report pregnancies in female study subjects that are identified after
initiation of study medication and throughout the study, including the post study drug follow-up 
period, to the Gilead PVE using the pregnancy report form within 24 hours of becoming aware 
of the pregnancy. Refer to Section 7.3 and the CRF/eCRF completion guidelines for full 
instructions on the mechanism of pregnancy reporting.
The pregnancy itself is not considered an AE nor is an induced elective abortion to terminate a 
pregnancy without medical reasons.
Any premature termination of pregnancy (e.g., a spontaneous abortion, an induced therapeutic 
abortion due to complications or other medical reasons) must be reported within 24 hours as an 
SAE. The underlying medical reason for this procedure should be recorded as the AE term.
A spontaneous abortion is always considered to be an SAE and will be reported as described in 
Sections 7.1.1 and 7.1.2. Furthermore, any SAE occurring as an adverse pregnancy outcome post 
study must be reported to Gilead PVE.
The subject should receive appropriate monitoring and care until the conclusion of the 
pregnancy. The outcome should be reported to the CRO Safety Dept. using the pregnancy 
outcome report form. If the end of the pregnancy occurs after the study has been completed, the 
outcome should be reported directly to Gilead PVE. Gilead PVE contact information is as 
follows: Email: Safety_FC@gilead.com and Fax: +1 (650) 522-5477. 
Refer to Appendix 6 for Pregnancy Precautions, Definition for Female of Childbearing Potential, 
and Contraceptive Recommendations.

Reporting Other Special Situations
All other special situation reports must be reported on the special situations report form and 
forwarded to the CRO Safety Dept within 24 hours of the investigator becoming aware of the 
situation. These reports must consist of situations that involve study IMP, but do not apply to 
concomitant medications. Special situations involving non-Gilead concomitant medications does 
not need to be reported on the special situations report form, however, for special situations that 
result in AEs due to a non-Gilead concomitant medication, the AE should be reported on the AE 
form. Any inappropriate use of concomitant medications prohibited by this protocol should not 
be reported as “misuse,” but may be more appropriately documented as a protocol deviation.
Refer to Section 7.3 and the CRF/eCRF completion guidelines for full instructions on the 
mechanism of special situations reporting.
All clinical sequelae in relation to these special situation reports will be reported as AEs or SAEs 
at the same time using the AE CRF/eCRF and/or the SAE report form. Details of the symptoms 
and signs, clinical management, and outcome will be reported, when available.

Efficacy Analysis
8.6.1.
Primary Analysis
The primary efficacy analysis will be conducted when approximately 864 randomized subjects
complete 48 weeks of the double-blind treatment period or discontinue prematurely. A two-sided 
95% confidence interval, based on the large sample theory adjusted for the randomization 
stratification factors (the adjusted Mantel-Haenszel proportions), for the difference (TAF – TDF) 
in the proportion of subjects who achieved HBV DNA < 29 IU/mL will be used to compare the 
treatment groups. A non-inferiority will be declared if the lower bound of this confidence 
interval exceeds a non-inferiority margin of –0.10. If non-inferiority is established, the lower 
bound of the 95% CI will be compared to 0; if the lower bound of the 95% CI is greater than 0, 
then superiority of TAF over TDF will be established using the same confidence interval. Details 
will be provided in the statistical analysis plan.
8.6.1.1.
Justification of the non-inferiority margin
At Week 48 in study GS-US-174-0103, the proportion of subjects with HBV DNA < 29 IU/mL 
in the TDF arm was 68.8%. At Week 48 in study GS-98-437, the proportion of subjects with 
HBV DNA < 29 IU/mL in the placebo arm was 0%. The non-inferiority margin of 10% would 
preserve more than 83% of the lower bound of the 95% confidence interval of the difference 
between TDF and placebo.

Key Secondary Efficacy Analyses
The proportion of subjects with HBeAg seroconversion to anti-HBe at Week 48 will be 
summarized and compared between the two groups using the Mantel-Haenszel test, controlling
for the randomization strata. A missing = failure approach will be employed. The details are
provided in the SAP.
8.6.3.
Analyses of Other Endpoints of Interest
Continuous secondary endpoints will be summarized using conventional descriptive statistics 
(n, mean, standard deviation, median, Q1, Q3, minimum, and maximum) by treatment group and 
overall. A Wilcoxon rank sum test will be used to compare the treatment groups, in an 
exploratory manner.
Categorical secondary endpoints will be summarized by number and percentage of subjects that 
meet the endpoint. A two-sided Mantel-Haenszel test, controlling for the randomization strata,
will be used to compare the treatment groups, in an exploratory manner. Missing data will be 
handled by the missing = failure approach. For the incidence of drug resistant mutations, the 
missing = excluded approach will be employed.
An analysis of the China subpopulation will also be conducted when approximately 
150 randomized and treated China subjects complete 48 weeks of double-blind treatment or 
discontinue prematurely to examine the consistency of the responses between the China 
subpopulation and the overall population.
8.7.
Safety Analysis
All safety data collected on or after the date that study drug was first dispensed up to the date of 
last dose will be summarized by treatment group (according to the drug received). Data for the 
pretreatment and treatment-free follow-up periods will be included in data listings. 
8.7.1.
Key Secondary Safety Analyses
The percent change from baseline in hip and spine BMD at Week 48 will be analyzed using an 
ANOVA model. The model will include treatment group as a fixed effect. The details are
provided in the Statistical Analysis Plan (SAP).
The change from baseline in serum creatinine at Week 48 will be analyzed using an ANCOVA 
model with baseline serum creatinine as a covariate, and treatment group as a fixed effect. The 
details are provided in the SAP.
8.7.2.
Extent of Exposure
A subject’s extent of exposure to study drug data will be generated from the drug administration 
data. Exposure data will be summarized by treatment group.

Adverse Events
Clinical and laboratory adverse events will be coded using the Medical Dictionary for 
Regulatory Activities (MedDRA). System Organ Class (SOC), High-Level Group Term 
(HLGT), High-Level Term (HLT), Preferred Term (PT), and Lower-Level Term (LLT) will be 
attached to the clinical database.
Events will be summarized on the basis of the date of onset for the event. A treatment-emergent 
adverse event will be defined as any adverse event that begins on or after the date of first dose of 
treatment up to the date of last dose of treatment. Continuing adverse events diagnosed prior to 
the start of treatment and worsening in severity grade, or non-serious adverse events at baseline 
which become serious, or adverse events resulting in treatment discontinuation after the start of 
treatment will also be considered treatment-emergent.
Summaries (number and percentage of subjects) of treatment-emergent adverse events (by SOC
and PT) will be provided by treatment group:

Treatment-emergent adverse events

Treatment-emergent study drug-related adverse events

Grade 3 or 4 treatment-emergent adverse event

Grade 3 or 4 treatment-emergent study drug-related adverse event

Grade 2, 3, or 4 treatment-emergent adverse event

Grade 2, 3, or 4 treatment-emergent study drug-related adverse event

AE that caused permanent discontinuation from study drug

AE that caused change in dose or temporary interruption of study drug

Treatment-emergent serious adverse event

Treatment-emergent study drug-related serious adverse event
8.7.4.
Laboratory Evaluations
Selected laboratory data (using conventional units) will be summarized using only observed data. 
Data and change from baseline at all scheduled time points will be summarized.
Graded laboratory abnormalities will be defined using the grading scheme in Appendix 5.

Incidence of treatment-emergent laboratory abnormalities, defined as values that increase at least 
one toxicity grade from baseline at any time post baseline up to and including the date of last 
dose of treatment, will be summarized by treatment group. If baseline data are missing, then any 
graded abnormality (i.e., at least a Grade 1) will be considered treatment emergent. 
Laboratory abnormalities that occur before the first dose of treatment or after the subject has 
been discontinued from treatment will be included in a data listing.
8.8.
Pharmacokinetic Analysis
Pharmacokinetic parameters will be listed and summarized for TAF and TFV using descriptive 
statistics (e.g., sample size, arithmetic mean, geometric mean, % coefficient of variation, 
standard deviation, median, minimum, and maximum). Plasma concentrations of TAF and TFV 
over time will be plotted in semilogarithmic and linear formats as mean ± standard deviation.
 
8.9.
Biomarker Analysis
Selected bone biomarkers, including C-type collagen sequence (CTX) and procollagen type 1 
N-terminal propeptide (P1NP), and selected renal biomarkers, including urine retinol binding 
protein, and urine beta-2-microglobulin, will be summarized by treatment group and visit using 
descriptive statistics. The difference in change from baseline in these biomarkers between two 
treatment arms will be tested using Wilcoxon rank sum test.
8.10.
Sample Size
With respect to the primary efficacy endpoint, a sample size of 288 for the TDF 300 mg group 
and 576 for the TAF 25 mg group will have 84% power to rule out the non-inferiority margin of 
10% at a one-sided significance level of 0.025. This assumes a rate of 69% in the TDF group and 
69% in the TAF group in the proportion of subjects with HBV DNA < 29 IU/mL. A similar 
response rate in the TDF group was observed in GS-US-174-0103 {Dӧhner 2000}. 
This sample size (n=576 for the TAF 25 mg arm, n=288 for the TDF 300 mg arm) also provides 
at least 90% power to detect a 1% difference in the percent change from baseline in hip BMD at 
Week 48 (assuming a 1.17% change from baseline in the TDF 300 mg arm and 0.17% change 
from baseline in the TAF 25 mg arm with a common standard deviation of 2.20% and a 
two-sided α = 0.025); at least 90% power to detect a 1% difference in the percentage change 
from baseline in spine BMD at Week 48 (assuming a 1.69% change from baseline in the TDF 
300 mg arm and 0.69% change in the TAF 25 mg arm, with a common standard deviation of 
3.08% and a two-sided α = 0.025); at least 85% power to detect a 0.03 mg/dL difference in the 
change from baseline in serum creatinine at Week 48 (assuming a 0.04 mg/dL change from 
baseline in the TDF 300 mg arm and 0.01 mg/dL change from baseline in the TAF 25 mg arm, 
with a common standard deviation of 0.12); and 16% power to detect a 4% difference in HBeAg 
seroconversion rate (assuming a 19% HBeAg seroconversion rate in the TDF arm and 
23% HBeAg seroconversion rate in the TAF arm). These assumptions were derived from studies 
GS-98-437, GS-98-438, GS-US-174-0102, GS-US-174-0103, and GS-US-174-0121.

For China, approximately 150 additional subjects (100 subjects TAF 25 mg QD and matched 
placebo of TDF 300 mg QD, and 50 subjects TDF 300 mg QD and matched placebo of TAF 
25 mg QD) will be enrolled.
8.11.
Data Monitoring Committee
An external multidisciplinary data monitoring committee (DMC) will review the progress of the 
study and perform interim reviews of safety data and provide recommendation to Gilead whether 
the nature, frequency, and severity of adverse effects associated with study treatment warrant the 
early termination of the study in the best interests of the participants, whether the study should 
continue as planned, or the study should continue with modifications. The DMC may also 
provide recommendations as needed regarding study design, 
The DMC will convene approximately every 24 weeks following the time of randomization of 
the first subject during the blinded portion of the protocol and approximately every 48 weeks 
during the open label period.
The DMC’s specific activities will be defined by a mutually agreed upon charter, which will 
define the DMC’s membership, conduct and meeting schedule.
While the DMC will be asked to advise Gilead regarding future conduct of the study, including 
possible early study termination, Gilead retains final decision-making authority on all aspects of 
the study.

RESPONSIBILITIES
9.1.
Investigator Responsibilities
9.1.1.
Good Clinical Practice
The investigator will ensure that this study is conducted in accordance with the principles of the 
Declaration of Helsinki (as amended in Edinburgh, Tokyo, Venice, Hong Kong, and 
South Africa), International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) guidelines, or with the laws and 
regulations of the country in which the research is conducted, whichever affords the greater 
protection to the study subject. These standards are consistent with the European Union Clinical 
Trials Directive 2001/20/EC and Good Clinical Practice Directive 2005/28/EC.
The investigator will ensure adherence to the basic principles of Good Clinical Practice, as 
outlined in 21 CFR 312, subpart D, “Responsibilities of Sponsors and Investigators,” 
21 CFR, part 50, 1998, and 21 CFR, part 56, 1998.
The investigator and all applicable sub-investigators will comply with 21 CFR, Part 54, 1998, 
providing documentation of their financial interest or arrangements with Gilead, or proprietary 
interests in the investigational drug under study. This documentation must be provided prior to 
the investigator’s (and any sub-investigator’s) participation in the study. The investigator and 
sub-investigator agree to notify Gilead of any change in reportable interests during the study and 
for 1 year following completion of the study. Study completion is defined as the date when the 
last subject completes the protocol-defined activities.
9.1.2.
Institutional Review Board (IRB)/Independent Ethics Committee (IEC) 
Review and Approval
The investigator (or sponsor as appropriate according to local regulations) will submit this 
protocol, informed consent form, and any accompanying material to be provided to the subject 
(such as advertisements, subject information sheets, or descriptions of the study used to obtain 
informed consent) to an IRB/IEC. The investigator will not begin any study subject activities 
until approval from the IRB/IEC has been documented and provided as a letter to the 
investigator.
Before implementation, the investigator will submit to and receive documented approval from 
the IRB/IEC any modifications made to the protocol or any accompanying material to be 
provided to the subject after initial IRB/IEC approval, with the exception of those necessary to 
reduce immediate risk to study subjects.
9.1.3.
Informed Consent
The investigator is responsible for obtaining written informed consent from each individual 
participating in this study after adequate explanation of the aims, methods, objectives, and 
potential hazards of the study and before undertaking any study-related procedures. The

investigator must use the most current IRB- or IEC-approved consent form for documenting 
written informed consent. Each informed consent (or assent as applicable) will be appropriately 
signed and dated by the subject or the subject’s legally authorized representative and the person 
conducting the consent discussion, and also by an impartial witness if required by IRB or IEC or 
local requirements. The consent form will inform subjects about pharmacogenomic testing and 
sample retention, and their right to receive clinically relevant pharmacogenomic analysis results.
9.1.4.
Confidentiality
The investigator must assure that subjects’ anonymity will be strictly maintained and that their 
identities are protected from unauthorized parties. Only subject initials, date of birth, another 
unique identifier (as allowed by local law) and an identification code will be recorded on any 
form or biological sample submitted to the Sponsor, IRB or IEC, or laboratory. Laboratory 
specimens must be labeled in such as way as to protect subject identity while allowing the results 
to be recorded to the proper subject. Refer to specific laboratory instructions. NOTE: The 
investigator must keep a screening log showing codes, names, and addresses for all subjects 
screened and for all subjects enrolled in the trial. Subject data will be processed in accordance 
with all applicable regulations. 
The investigator agrees that all information received from Gilead, including but not limited to the 
investigator brochure, this protocol, CRF/eCRF, the IMP, and any other study information, 
remain the sole and exclusive property of Gilead during the conduct of the study and thereafter. 
This information is not to be disclosed to any third party (except employees or agents directly 
involved in the conduct of the study or as required by law) without prior written consent from 
Gilead. The investigator further agrees to take all reasonable precautions to prevent the 
disclosure by any employee or agent of the study site to any third party or otherwise into the 
public domain.
9.1.5.
Study Files and Retention of Records
The investigator must maintain adequate and accurate records to enable the conduct of the study 
to be fully documented and the study data to be subsequently verified. These documents should 
be classified into at least the following two categories: (1) investigator’s study file, and 
(2) subject clinical source documents.
The investigator’s study file will contain the protocol/amendments, CRF and query forms, IRB 
or IEC and governmental approval with correspondence, informed consent, drug records, staff 
curriculum vitae and authorization forms, and other appropriate documents and correspondence.
The required source data should include sequential notes containing at least the following 
information for each subject:

Subject identification (name, date of birth, gender);

Documentation that subject meets eligibility criteria, ie, history, physical examination, and 
confirmation of diagnosis (to support inclusion and exclusion criteria);


Documentation of the reason(s) a consented subject is not enrolled

Participation in study (including study number);

Study discussed and date of informed consent;

Dates of all visits;

Documentation that protocol specific procedures were performed;

Results of efficacy parameters, as required by the protocol;

Start and end date (including dose regimen) of IMP, including dates of dispensing and return;

Record of all adverse events and other safety parameters (start and end date, and including 
causality and severity);

Concomitant medication (including start and end date, dose if relevant; dose changes);

Date of study completion and reason for early discontinuation, if it occurs.
All clinical study documents must be retained by the investigator until at least 2 years or 
according to local laws, whichever is longer, after the last approval of a marketing application in 
an ICH region (ie, United States, Europe, or Japan) and until there are no pending or planned 
marketing applications in an ICH region; or, if no application is filed or if the application is not 
approved for such indication, until 2 years after the investigation is discontinued and regulatory 
authorities have been notified. Investigators may be required to retain documents longer if 
specified by regulatory requirements, by local regulations, or by an agreement with Gilead. The 
investigator must notify Gilead before destroying any clinical study records.
Should the investigator wish to assign the study records to another party or move them to another 
location, Gilead must be notified in advance.
If the investigator cannot provide for this archiving requirement at the study site for any or all of 
the documents, special arrangements must be made between the investigator and Gilead to store 
these records securely away from the site so that they can be returned sealed to the investigator 
in case of an inspection. When source documents are required for the continued care of the 
subject, appropriate copies should be made for storage away from the site.
9.1.6.
Case Report Forms
For each subject consented, an eCRF will be completed by an authorized study staff member 
whose training for this function is documented according to study procedures. eCRF should be 
completed on the day of the subject visit to enable the sponsor to perform central monitoring of 
safety data. Subsequent to data entry, a study monitor will perform source data verification 
within the EDC system. Original entries as well as any changes to data fields will be stored in the 


Tenofovir Alafenamide (TAF)

audit trail of the system. Prior to database lock (or any interim time points as described in the 
clinical data management plan), the investigator will use his/her log in credentials to confirm that 
the forms have been reviewed, and that the entries accurately reflect the information in the 
source documents. The eCRF capture the data required per the protocol schedule of events and 
procedures. System-generated or manual queries will be issued to the investigative site staff as 
data discrepancies are identified by the monitor or internal Gilead staff, who routinely review the 
data for completeness, correctness, and consistency. The site coordinator is responsible for 
responding to the queries in a timely manner, within the system, either by confirming the data as 
correct or updating the original entry, and providing the reason for the update (e.g. data entry 
error). At the conclusion of the trial, Gilead will provide the site with a read-only archive copy of
the data entered by that site. This archive must be stored in accordance with the records retention 
requirements outlined in Section 9.1.5.
9.1.7.
Investigational Medicinal Product Accountability and Return
If the site has an appropriate Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for drug destruction, the site 
may destroy used (empty kits and/or bottles) and unused study drug supplies performed in 
accordance with the site’s (hospital/pharmacy) SOP. If the site does not have acceptable 
procedures in place for drug destruction, arrangements will be made between the site and 
Gilead Sciences (or Gilead Sciences’ representative) for return of unused study drug supplies. 
Gilead recommends that used and unused IMP supplies be returned to the shipping facility from 
which it came for eventual destruction. The study monitor will provide instructions for return. If 
return is not possible, the study monitor will evaluate each study center’s IMP disposal 
procedures and provide appropriate instruction for destruction of unused IMP supplies. If the site 
has an appropriate standard operating procedure (SOP) for drug destruction as determined by 
Gilead QA, the site may destroy used (empty or partially empty) and unused IMP supplies in 
accordance with that site’s approved SOP. A copy of the site’s approved SOP will be obtained 
for central files. 
If IMP is destroyed on site, the investigator must maintain accurate records for all IMP 
destroyed. Records must show the identification and quantity of each unit destroyed, the method 
of destruction, and the person who disposed of the IMP. Upon study completion, copies of the 
IMP accountability records must be filed at the site. Another copy will be returned to Gilead.
The study monitor will review IMP supplies and associated records at periodic intervals.
9.1.8.
Inspections
The investigator will make available all source documents and other records for this trial to 
Gilead’s appointed study monitors, to IRBs or IECs, or to regulatory authority or health authority 
inspectors.
9.1.9.
Protocol Compliance
The investigator is responsible for ensuring the study is conducted in accordance with the 
procedures and evaluations described in this protocol.

the respective scientific journal or presentation forum at least 30 days before submission of 
the publication or presentation. 

No such communication, presentation, or publication will include Gilead’s confidential 
information (see Section 9.1.4).

The investigator will comply with Gilead’s request to delete references to its confidential 
information (other than the study results) in any paper or presentation and agrees to withhold 
publication or presentation for an additional 60 days in order to obtain patent protection if 
deemed necessary.
9.3.
Joint Investigator/Sponsor Responsibilities
9.3.1.
Access to Information for Monitoring
In accordance with regulations and guidelines, the study monitor must have direct access to the 
investigator’s source documentation in order to verify the accuracy of the data recorded in the 
CRF/eCRF.
The monitor is responsible for routine review of the CRF/eCRF at regular intervals throughout 
the study to verify adherence to the protocol and the completeness, consistency, and accuracy of 
the data being entered on them. The monitor should have access to any subject records needed to 
verify the entries on the CRF/eCRF. The investigator agrees to cooperate with the monitor to 
ensure that any problems detected through any type of monitoring (central, on site) are resolved.

Subjects must rest quietly in the supine position for a minimum of 5 minutes prior to the recording 
c 
Vital signs include blood pressure, pulse, respiration rate, and temperature 
d 
DXA scans will be perfomied only at sites in China with capability. The initial (baseline) DXA will be perfomied during Screening and should be completed at least 14 days 
prior to the first dose of study dmg. The Week 48 DXA window is 14 days only. DXA re.quired for Early Discontinuation (ED) visit if not done within the last 24 weeks.

Subjects already assigned to open-label T AF 25 QD per Amend 2. 1 continue on T AF. Otherwise, blinded study dmg will be dispensed until Week 144 visit. Open-label T AF 
25 mg QD will be dispensed from Week 144 through Week 360. At Week 384/ED visit, study dmg will not be dispensed 
f 
It is preferred that subjects take their study dmg according to a morning dosing schedule; subjects who elect to dose in the evening the previous day are not re.quired to have 
in-clinic dosing and provide the single PK sample being collected at Week 4 and 12 visits.

Note: Toxicity grades for Quantitative and Dipstick Hematuria will be assigned by Covance Laboratory, however for other laboratories, toxicity grades will only be assigned to 
Dipstick Hematuria.
With the exception of lipid tests, any graded laboratory test with a result that is between the LLN and ULN should be assigned Grade 0.
If the severity of a clinical AE could fall under either one of two grades (e.g., the severity of an AE could be either Grade 2 or Grade 3), select the higher of the two grades for 
the AE.

Appendix 6.
Pregnancy Precautions, Definition for Female of Childbearing 
Potential, and Contraceptive Recommendations
1. Pregnancy and Contraception Requirements for Males and Females of Childbearing
Potential
The risks of treatment with study drug have not been evaluated. If females are using hormonal 
agents for contraception, the safety and/or efficacy may be affected by possible drug-drug 
interaction. However, it is recommended that the hormonal agent be continued and that a 
non-hormonal method(s) be used concurrently. If females utilize hormonal agents as one of their 
contraceptive methods, it is required that the same hormonal method be used for at least 
3 months before study dosing. Please refer to the latest version of the Investigator’s Brochure for 
GS-7340 for additional information
2. Definition of Female of Childbearing Potential

For the purposes of this study, a female subject of childbearing potential is a nonmenopausal
female who has not had a hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, or medically documented
ovarian failure. This definition includes a pubertal female who has not yet started
menstruating. A woman who has had a tubal sterilization is considered to be of childbearing
potential.

A female subject ≤54 years in age, with the absence of normal menses is considered to be of
childbearing potential. Exceptions must be discussed with the medical monitor.
A female subject may be considered menopausal in either of the following conditions:

Surgical menopause: Appropriate medical documentation of prior complete bilateral
oophorectomy (ie, surgical removal of the ovaries and occurring at the age at which the
procedure was performed)

Age > 54 years, with the cessation (for > 12 months) of previously occurring menses due to
ovarian failure, will not be considered to be childbearing potential.
3. Contraceptive Requirements for Female Subjects
Female subjects of childbearing potential who engage in intercourse must agree to utilize 
protocol specified methods of contraception from the screening visit throughout the study period 
and for 30 days following the last dose of study drug. Female study subjects who are not 
heterosexually active must provide periodic confirmation of continued abstinence from 
heterosexual intercourse and regular pregnancy testing while participating in the study. The 
investigator will counsel subjects on the protocol specified method(s) for avoiding pregnancy in 
case the subject chooses to engage in heterosexual intercourse.
Protocol specified contraceptive methods are as follows: (1) a combination of one hormonal 
method and one barrier method; (2) two barrier methods where one method is the male condom; 
or (3) use of an intrauterine device (IUD) or tubal sterilization; see Appendix Table 1 below; or 
(4) complete abstinence from intercourse. Periodic abstinence from intercourse (e.g. calendar,
ovulation, sumptothermal, post-ovulation methods) is not permitted.

Page 153
25 September 2019
Acceptable hormonal methods include injectable progesterone, progesterone implants, 
combination oral contraceptives, transdermal contraceptive patch, and vaginal ring. Acceptable 
barrier methods include diaphragm with spermicide, cervical cap with spermicide, and the male 
condom. The use of spermicide is not recommended if the subject or subject’s partner is infected 
with HIV. Female subjects must use either a hormonal method or a barrier method if the partner 
has a vasectomy. If a subject has undergone tubal sterilization or has had a Copper T 380A IUD 
or LNg 20 IUD inserted, no other contraception is needed.  
If tubal sterilization is via the Essure procedure, verification of tubal blockage by 
hysterosalpingogram (HSP) must be performed approximately 3 months after microinsertion. 
Prior to verification, Essure is not considered a reliable form of contraception and the 
contraception methods described below must be used. Female subjects who utilize hormonal 
contraceptives as one of their birth control methods must have used the same method for at least 
3 months before study dosing.
Female subjects of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test at screening 
and a negative urine pregnancy test at baseline (Day 1) prior to receiving the first dose of study 
drug. Lactating females must discontinue nursing before IMP administration.

The investigator will counsel all subjects on the most effective method(s) for avoiding pregnancy 
during the study.
4. Contraceptive Requirements for Male Subjects
Male subjects must agree to use protocol specified method of contraception during heterosexual 
intercourse and avoid sperm donation from the time of the first dose of study drug and 
throughout the study period, and for at least 30 days after administration of the last dose of study 
medication.

Use of condoms, with or without spermicide, has been proven to decrease the risk of 
transmission of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases. The use of spermicide is not 
recommended if the subject or subject’s partner is infected with HIV.
5. Procedures to be Followed in the Event of Pregnancy
Subjects will be instructed to notify the investigator if they become pregnant at any time during 
the study, or if they become pregnant within 30 days of last study drug dose. Subjects who 
become pregnant or who suspect that they are pregnant during the study must report the 
information to the investigator and discontinue study drug immediately. 
Instructions for reporting pregnancy and pregnancy outcome are outlined in Section 7.6.2.1.

INTRODUCTION 
GS-US-320-0110 is a Phase 3 randomized, double-blind, noninferiority study to compare the 
antiviral activity of tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) 25 mg QD versus tenofovir disoproxil fumarate 
(TDF) 300 mg QD for the treatment of hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)-positive, 
chronic hepatitis B (CHB) in treatment-naive and treatment-experienced participants. For the 
non-China cohort, 875 participants were planned to be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive the 
blinded treatment groups for 144 weeks (96 weeks for participants who reached Week 96 prior to 
consenting for Amendment 3), and were stratified by plasma hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA level 
(≥ 8 log10 IU/mL vs < 8 log10 IU/mL) and oral antiviral treatment status (treatment-naive vs 
treatment-experienced). All participants who completed the double-blind phase were eligible for 
participation in the open-label TAF 25 mg extension period for an additional 240 weeks 
(through Week 384/ED). Participants who already entered the open-label phase at Week 96 per 
Amendment 1 or 2 and consented to Amendment 3 later were to continue open-label TAF 25 mg 
QD through Week 384/ED. 
Treatment-naive participants are defined as participants with < 12 weeks of previous oral 
antiviral treatment with any nucleoside or nucleotide analogue. Treatment-experienced 
participants are defined as participants with ≥ 12 weeks of previous treatment with any 
nucleoside or nucleotide analogue. 
For China, approximately 150 additional participants (100 in TAF group and 50 in TDF group) 
were planned to be enrolled as agreed upon for local registration purposes. All China cohort 
participants were to receive the blinded treatment for 144 weeks based on Amendment 3.1, and 
those who completed the double-blind phase were eligible for participation in the open-label 
TAF 25 mg extension period for an additional 240 weeks (through Week 384/ED). 
This statistical analysis plan (SAP) describes the statistical analysis methods and data 
presentations to be used in tables, figures, and listings (TFLs) in the final clinical study report 
(CSR) for China (participants enrolled China only). This SAP is based on the study protocol 
amendment 3.1 dated 23 February 2016 and the electronic case report form (eCRF). The SAP 
will be finalized before database finalization. Any changes made after the finalization of the SAP 
will be documented in the CSR for China. 
1.1. 
Study Objectives 
The primary and secondary objectives and end points on or before Week 48 were presented in 
the Week 48 CSR for China. This SAP will focus on the efficacy and safety analyses of all 
participants after Week 48. 
The primary objectives of this study are as follows: 
• To compare the efficacy of TAF 25 mg versus TDF 300 mg QD for the treatment of 
HBeAg-positive, CHB at Week 48 in treatment-naive and treatment-experienced

treatment-emergent proteinuria through Week 48 
The key secondary efficacy objective of this study is as follows: 
• To compare the serological response (loss of HBeAg with seroconversion to antibody to 
HBeAg [anti-HBe]) of TAF 25 mg QD versus TDF 300 mg QD for the treatment of 
HBeAg-positive, CHB at Week 48 
Other secondary objectives of this study are as follows: 
• To compare the efficacy of TAF 25 mg QD versus TDF 300 mg QD for the treatment of 
HBeAg-positive, CHB in regard to the proportion of participants with plasma HBV DNA 
levels below 29 IU/mL at Weeks 96 and 144 
• To compare the efficacy of TAF 25 mg QD versus TDF 300 mg QD for the treatment of 
HBeAg-positive, CHB in regard to the proportion of participants with plasma HBV DNA 
levels below 29 IU/mL (target not detected) at Weeks 48, 96, and 144 
• To compare the biochemical (alanine aminotransferase [ALT] normalization) response of 
TAF 25 mg QD versus TDF 300 mg QD for the treatment of HBeAg-positive, CHB at 
Weeks 48, 96, and 144 
• To compare the serological response (loss of HBeAg with seroconversion to anti-HBe) of 
TAF 25 mg QD versus TDF 300 mg QD for the treatment of HBeAg-positive, CHB at 
Weeks 96, and 144 
• To compare the serological response (loss of hepatitis B surface antigen [HBsAg] with 
seroconversion to anti-HBs) of TAF 25 mg QD versus TDF 300 mg QD for the treatment of 
HBeAg-positive, CHB at Weeks 48, 96, and 144 
• To compare the change in fibrosis as assessed by FibroTest® of TAF 25 mg QD versus TDF 
300 mg QD for the treatment of HBeAg-positive, CHB at Weeks 48, 96, and 144

• To compare the incidence of drug resistant mutations of TAF 25 mg QD versus TDF 300 mg 
QD at Weeks 48, 96, and 144 
• To compare the change from baseline in ophthalmologic findings by fundoscopic 
examination of TAF 25 mg QD versus TDF 300 mg QD at Weeks 24, 48, 72, 96, and 144 in 
a subset of participants 
• To characterize the pharmacokinetics of TAF and tenofovir (TFV) and determine 
intracellular concentrations of tenofovir diphosphate (TFV-DP) within peripheral blood 
mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in participants receiving TAF or TDF 
• To evaluate the comparative open-label efficacy, safety and drug resistance mutations of 
TAF 25 mg QD through Week 384 in participants initially randomized to TAF and in 
participants sequentially treated with TDF 300 mg QD for 96 weeks (Amendments 1 and 2.1) 
or for 144 weeks (Amendment 3.1) and then switched to open-label TAF 25 mg QD 
• To compare the safety and tolerability of TAF 25 mg QD versus TDF 300 mg QD for the 
treatment of HBeAg-positive, CHB beyond Week 48 during the double-blind phase in 
treatment-naive and treatment-experienced participants 
1.2. 
Study Design 
1.2.1. 
Design Configuration and Participant Population 
GS-US-320-0110 is a randomized, double-blind, noninferiority study to compare the antiviral 
activity of TAF 25 mg versus TDF 300 mg for the treatment of HBeAg-positive, CHB in 
treatment-naive and treatment-experienced participants. 
1.2.2. 
Treatment Groups 
Participants were randomized in a 2:1 ratio to the following 2 treatment groups: 
• TAF group: TAF 25 mg QD + matched placebo of TDF 300 mg QD 
• TDF group: TDF 300 mg QD + matched placebo of TAF 25 mg QD 
For China, approximately 150 additional participants were planned to be randomized in a 2:1 
ratio (TAF: TDF) to the treatment groups for local registration purpose. 
1.2.3. 
Key Eligibility Criteria 
Participants were to have met the following key eligibility criteria: 
• Documented evidence of chronic HBV infection (eg, HBsAg positive for more than 
6 months) 


TAF, GS-US-320-0110 Final China 
 
Statistical Analysis Plan 
Version .1.0

25 October 2023 
• HBeAg-positive, CHB with the following: HBeAg-positive at screening; screening 
HBV DNA ≥ 2 × 104 IU/mL; screening serum ALT level > 60 U/L (males) or 
> 38 U/L (females) and ≤ 10 × ULN (by central laboratory range) 
• Estimated creatinine clearance (CLCr) ≥ 50 mL/min (using the Cockcroft-Gault [CG] 
method) based on serum creatinine and actual body weight as measured at screening 
1.2.4. 
Study Periods/Phases 
The duration of randomized, double-blind treatment is 144 weeks (96 weeks under 
Amendments 1 and 2.1). All participants who complete double-blind phase are eligible for 
participation in the open-label TAF 25 mg extension period for an additional 240 weeks (through 
Week 384/ED). Participants who already entered the open-label phase at Week 96 per 
Amendment 2.1 and consented to Amendment 3.1 later will continue on open-label TAF 25 mg 
QD through Week 384/ED. All participants who complete double-blind period of treatment are 
eligible for participation in the open-label TAF 25 mg QD extension period. Participants who 
permanently discontinue study drug (either prematurely [early discontinuation, ED] or at the end 
of open-label phase [Week 384]) for reasons other than HBsAg loss with confirmed 
seroconversion to anti-HBs will be followed every 4 weeks for 24 weeks off treatment or until 
initiation of alternative, commercially available HBV therapy, whichever occurs first. 
Participants with HBsAg loss, with confirmed seroconversion to anti-HBs should discontinue 
study drug within 3-6 months following confirmation of seroconversion to anti-HBs, or after 
Week 48, if seroconversion occurs prior to this visit. Participants with HBsAg loss with 
confirmed seroconversion to anti-HBs prior to Week 48 are not permitted to discontinue study 
drug prior to the Week 48 visit. After Week 48, these participants who discontinue study drug 
will be followed off treatment every 4 weeks for 12 weeks and then per the study visit schedule 
through Week 384/ED. Discontinuation of study drug for participants experiencing HBsAg loss 
with confirmed seroconversion to anti-HBs, who have known bridging fibrosis or cirrhosis, 
should be considered on a case by case basis. 
1.2.5. 
Schedule of Assessments 
Laboratory analyses (serum chemistry, liver tests, hematology, urinalysis, plasma HBV DNA 
levels, pregnancy testing [for females of childbearing potential]), vital signs, adverse events 
(AEs), and concomitant medications will be performed at screening, baseline, and every 4 weeks 
thereafter through Week 48, every 8 weeks through Week 96, every 12 weeks through 
Week 144, and every 24 weeks through Week 384/ED visit.  
HBV serology (HBeAg, reflex hepatitis B e antibody [HBeAb], HBsAg, and reflex hepatitis B 
surface antibody [HbsAb]) will be performed at screening and baseline, and every 
12 to 16 weeks through Week 144, and every 24 weeks through Week 384/ED, and at Follow up 
Weeks 12 and 24. Quantitative serum HBsAg will be assessed at screening, baseline, every 
12-16 weeks until Week 144, every 24 weeks until Week 384/ED, and at all Follow Up visits. 
Bone and renal biomarker testing will be performed at baseline and then at defined intervals 
throughout the study. IL28B polymorphism genotype, HBV genotyping and vitamin D 
assessments will be performed at baseline only. FibroTest® will be performed at baseline, and

and lipid panel) will be conducted at baseline, every 24 weeks until Week 144, and every 
48 weeks until Week 384/ED visit.  
Complete physical examinations will be performed at screening, baseline, and Weeks 24, 48, 
72, 96, 120, 144, 240, and 384/ED. Symptom directed physical examinations including body 
weight assessment will be conducted at all other visits. Electrocardiogram (ECG) will be 
performed at screening and every 48 weeks thereafter. 
At sites in China with the capability only, DXA scans of the hip and spine will be conducted 
during the screening period, and should be conducted at least 14 days prior to the first dose of 
study drug, and will be subsequently conducted every 24 weeks through Week 144, and every 48 
weeks thereafter until Week 384/ ED visit, if not done within the last 24 weeks of ED visit. 
Fracture risk assessment will be evaluated at Baseline. In China, this fracture risk assessment 
will be evaluated at sites with DXA capability only. 
Hepatic ultrasound for surveillance of hepatocellular carcinoma will be performed starting at 
Week 96 and then every 24 weeks thereafter until Week 384/ED. Plasma, serum, and urine will 
be collected at baseline and at every visit thereafter for storage. 
Treatment-free Follow-up (TFFU) assessments after premature study drug discontinuation will 
occur every 4 weeks for 24 weeks and include the following: vital signs, hematology, serum 
chemistry, liver function tests, and plasma HBV DNA. Plasma, serum and urine will be collected 
for storage. HBeAg, reflex HBeAb, HBsAg and reflex HBsAb will be evaluated at Follow Up 
Weeks 12 and 24. 
1.2.6. 
Randomization 
Participants will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to the 2 treatment groups (TAF vs TDF, 
respectively). Randomization will be stratified by plasma HBV DNA level (≥ 8 log10 IU/mL vs 
< 8 log10 IU/mL) and oral antiviral treatment status (treatment-naive vs treatment-experienced). 
1.2.7. 
Site and/or Stratum Enrollment Limits 
Twenty-five centers participated in China. There was no enrollment limit for individual sites. 
1.2.8. 
Study Duration 
The duration of the double-blind treatment is 144 weeks (96 weeks under Amendment 1 and 
2.1). After completing the double-blind period of treatment, all participants will be eligible 
to receive open-label TAF 25 mg once daily, for up to an additional 240 weeks (through 
Week 384/ED). Participants who already entered the open-label phase at Week 96 per 
Amendment 1 or 2.1 and consented to Amendment 3.1 later will continue on open-label TAF 
25 mg QD through Week 384/ED. Participants who permanently discontinue study drug (either 
prematurely [ED] or at the end of study [Week 384]) will be followed every 4 weeks for

24 weeks off treatment or until initiation of alternative, commercially available HBV therapy, 
whichever occurs first. 
Participants with HBsAg loss, with confirmed seroconversion to anti-HBs should discontinue 
study drug within 3 to 6 months following confirmation of seroconversion to anti-HBs or after 
Week 48, if seroconversion occurs prior to this visit. These participants will be followed off 
treatment every 4 weeks for 12 weeks and then per the study visit schedule through 
Week 384/ED. 
1.3. 
Sample Size and Power 
For China, approximately 150 additional participants (100 in TAF group and 50 in TDF group) 
were to be enrolled for local registration purposes. 
The sample size and power calculation described below was for non-China participants. With 
respect to the primary efficacy end point of proportion of participants with plasma HBV DNA 
levels below 29 IU/mL at Week 48, a sample size of 288 for the TDF group and 576 for the TAF 
group will have 84% power to rule out the noninferiority margin of 10% at a 1-sided significance 
level of 0.025. This assumes the expected difference (TAF − TDF) in proportion of participants 
with HBV DNA < 29 IU/mL is 0 and the proportion of participants with HBV DNA < 29 IU/mL 
in the TDF group is 69%. A similar response rate in the TDF group was observed in 
Study GS-US-174-0103. 
This sample size (n = 576 for the TAF 25 mg group, n = 288 for the TDF 300 mg group) also 
provides the following:  
• At least 90% power to detect a 1% difference in the percentage change from baseline in 
hip BMD at Week 48 (assuming a –1.17% change from baseline in TDF 300 mg group and 
−0.17% change from baseline in the TAF 25 mg group, with a common standard deviation 
(SD) of 2.20% and a 2-sided α = 0.025) 
• At least 90% power to detect a 1% difference in the percent change from baseline in spine BMD 
at Week 48 (assuming a –1.69% change from baseline in the TDF 300 mg group and −0.69% 
change in the TAF 25 mg group, with a common SD of 3.08% and a 2-sided α = 0.025) 
• At least 85% power to detect a 0.03 mg/dL difference in the change from baseline in serum 
creatinine at Week 48 (assuming a 0.04 mg/dL change from baseline in the TDF 300 mg 
group and 0.01 mg/dL change from baseline in the TAF 25 mg group, with a common 
SD of 0.12) 
• 16% power to detect a 4% difference in HBeAg seroconversion rate (assuming a 
19% HBeAg seroconversion rate in the TDF 300 mg group and 23% HBeAg seroconversion 
rate in the TAF 25 mg group).  
The preceding assumptions were derived from Studies GS-98-437, GS-98-438, 
GS-US-174-0102, GS-US-174-0103, and GS-US-174-0121.

TYPE OF PLANNED ANALYSIS 
The final analysis for Non-China participants has already been conducted which occurred after 
the last participant completed the study or prematurely discontinued study. This statistical 
analysis plan (SAP) describes the analysis plan for the final analysis of participants enrolled in 
China only. 
2.1. 
Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) Analysis 
An external multidisciplinary data monitoring committee (DMC) will review the progress of the 
study and perform interim reviews of safety data and provide recommendation to Gilead whether 
the nature, frequency, and severity of adverse effects associated with study treatment warrant 
early termination of the study in the best interests of the participants and whether the study 
should continue as planned or with modifications. The DMC may also provide recommendations 
as needed regarding study design. 
The DMC was convened approximately every 24 weeks during the blinded portion of the study 
and approximately every 48 weeks during the open-label phase. More details are documented in 
the independent DMC charter. The last DMC meeting was conducted on 24 October 2019 where 
the DMC members concluded that they would transfer the primary responsibilities for 
monitoring study conduct and patient safety to Gilead and stand ready to re-engage should 
concerns arise regarding any aspects of the study. 
2.2. 
Week 48 Analysis (Primary Analysis) 
The Week 48 analysis was conducted after the last participant completed the Week 48 visit or 
prematurely discontinued study drug in China. 
2.3. 
Final Analysis (Week 384) 
The final analysis will be conducted after the last participant completes the Week 384 visit or 
prematurely discontinues study drug in China. 
Since no participants entered the TFFU phase after completing the Week 384 visit, this statistical 
analysis plan (SAP) describes the analysis plan for the Week 384 analysis only and is considered 
as Final analysis.

GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR DATA ANALYSES 
3.1. 
Analysis Sets 
Analysis sets define which participants are included in an analysis. The assignment of 
participants to analysis sets was done before the study blind was broken for analysis. A summary 
of the number and percentage of participants in each analysis set will be provided by treatment 
group and in total. 
3.1.1. 
Randomized Analysis Set 
The Randomized Analysis Set includes all participants who were randomized into the study. This 
is the primary analysis set for by-participant listings. 
3.1.2. 
Safety Analysis Set 
The Safety Analysis Set includes all randomized participants who have received at least 1 dose 
of study drug. Participants will be analyzed according to the treatment they actually received. 
The actual treatment received will differ from the randomized treatment only when their actual 
treatment differs from randomized treatment for the entire double-blinded treatment duration.  
3.1.3. 
Open-Label Safety Analysis Set 
The Open-Label Safety Analysis Set includes all randomized participants who have received at 
least 1 dose of open-label study drug. Participants will be analyzed according to the treatment 
they actually received during the double-blind phase.  
3.1.4. 
Full Analysis Set (FAS) 
The FAS includes all randomized participants who have received at least 1 dose of study drug. 
Participants will be analyzed according to the treatment to which they were randomized.  
3.1.5. 
Serologically Evaluable Full Analysis Set 
3.1.5.1. 
Serologically Evaluable Full Analysis Set for HBeAg Loss/Seroconversion 
The Serologically Evaluable Full Analysis Set for HBeAg loss/seroconversion includes all 
participants who were randomized and had received at least 1 dose of study drug, and with 
HBeAg positive and HBeAb negative or missing at baseline. Participants will be analyzed 
according to the treatment they were randomized to.

3.1.6. 
DXA Analysis Set 
DXA scans will be performed only at sites in China with capability. 
3.1.6.1. 
Hip DXA Analysis Set 
The Hip DXA Analysis Set includes all participants who were randomized and had received at 
least 1 dose of study drug, and had nonmissing baseline hip BMD values. Participants will be 
analyzed according to the treatment they actually received. 
3.1.6.2. 
Spine DXA Analysis Set 
The Spine DXA Analysis Set includes all participants who were randomized and had received at 
least 1 dose of study drug, and had nonmissing baseline spine BMD values. Participants will be 
analyzed according to the treatment they actually received. 
3.2. 
Participant Grouping 
Participants will be grouped into the following treatment groups: 
Entire study treatment period and double-blind phase summaries: 
• Double-blind TAF 25 mg 
• Double-blind TDF 300 mg 
Open-label phase summaries: 
• Double-blind TAF 25 mg participants who switched to open-label TAF 25 mg (TAF-TAF) 
• Double-blind TDF 300 mg participants who switched to open-label TAF 25 mg (TDF-TAF) 
3.3. 
Strata and Covariates 
Randomization was stratified by plasma HBV DNA level (≥ 8 log10 IU/mL vs < 8 log10 IU/mL) 
and oral antiviral treatment status (treatment-naive vs treatment-experienced) at screening. HBV 
DNA strata will be reclassified using baseline HBV DNA level for stratified statistical analysis. 
3.4. 
Missing Data and Outliers 
3.4.1. 
Missing Data 
A missing datum for a given study analysis window may be due to any of the following reasons: 
• A visit occurring in the window but data were not collected or were unusable  
• A visit not occurring in the window 
• A participant permanently discontinuing from the study before reaching the window 


TAF, GS-US-320-0110 Final China

25 October 2023 
For the primary endpoint and the secondary efficacy endpoints involving proportions, missing 
data will be handled using M = F approach. Sensitivity analyses will also be performed including 
M = E approach. 
For the remaining endpoints, values for missing data will not be imputed, unless specified 
otherwise.  
3.4.2. 
Outliers 
Outliers will be identified during data management and data analysis process, but no sensitivity 
analyses will be done to evaluate the impact of outliers on efficacy or safety outcomes, unless 
specified otherwise. All data will be included in the analysis.  
3.5. 
Data Handling Conventions and Transformations 
The following conventions will be used for the imputation of date of birth when it is partially 
missing or not collected: 
• If only month and year of birth is collected, then “15” will be imputed as the day of birth 
• If only year of birth is collected, then “01 July” will be imputed as the day and month of birth 
• If year of birth is missing, then date of birth will not be imputed. 
Laboratory Data that are continuous in nature but are below the lower limit of quantitation 
(LOQ) or above the upper LOQ will be imputed as follows except for the scenarios described 
below for direct bilirubin, urine creatinine, and serum cystatin C:  
• A value that is 1 unit less than the LOQ will be used for calculation of descriptive statistics if 
the datum is reported in the form of “< x” (x is considered as the LOQ). For example, if the 
values are reported as < 50 and < 5.0, then values of 49 and 4.9 will be used for calculation 
of summary statistics, respectively.  
• A value that is 1 unit above the LOQ will be used for calculation of descriptive statistics if 
the datum is reported in the form of “> x” (x is considered as the LOQ). Values with decimal 
points will follow the same logic as stated above.  
• The limit of quantitation will be used for calculation of descriptive statistics if the data is 
reported in the form of “≤ x” or “≥ x” (x is considered as the LOQ). 
For direct bilirubin, a value of “< 0.1” is imputed as 0.09. For urine creatinine, a value of “< 1” is 
handled as a missing value in its summary and the calculation of related ratios. For serum 
cystatin C, a value of “< 0.10” is handled as a missing value in the calculation of estimated 
glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). 
Logarithm (base 10) will be used to transform HBV DNA and quantitative HBsAg data.

For HBV DNA, if the value in IU/mL (TaqMan) is above the upper limit of quantification, the 
corresponding diluted value (TaqDil), if available, will be used. 
3.6. 
Analysis Windows 
3.6.1. 
Definition of Study Day 1 and Other Definitions 
Study Day 1 is defined as the day when the first dose of blinded study drug was taken, as 
recorded on the Study Drug Administration eCRF form. 
Open-Label Study Day 1 is defined as the day when the first dose of the open-label study drug 
was taken, as recorded on the Study Drug Administration eCRF form. 
Study days are calculated relative to Study Day 1. For events that occurred on or after 
Study Day 1 date, study days are calculated as (visit date − Study Day 1 + 1). For events that 
occurred prior to Study Day 1, study days are calculated as (visit date − Study Day 1). 
Open-Label study days are calculated relative to Open-Label Study Day 1. For events that 
occurred on or after Open-Label Study Day 1 date, study days are calculated as 
(visit date − Open-Label Study Day 1 + 1).  
Follow-up days are for visits that occur during the 24-week TFFU period and calculated as (visit 
date – last dose date). 
Last Dose Date of Blinded Study Drug is the latest non-missing end date of blinded study drug, 
recorded on the Study Drug Administration eCRF form with “Study Drug Permanently 
Discontinued” box checked for participants who prematurely discontinued blinded study drug or 
who completed blinded study drug according to Blinded Study Drug Completion eCRF. If the 
last dose date of blinded study drug is missing (eg, due to lost to follow up) for participants who 
prematurely discontinued blinded study drug, or for participants who are still on blinded study 
drug, the latest of nonmissing blinded study drug start dates and end dates, the clinical visit dates 
and the laboratory visit dates excluding the dates of open-label and 24-week TFFU visits will be 
used to impute the last dose date of blinded study drug.  
For participants who prematurely discontinued blinded study drug or who completed blinded 
study drug but did not enter open-label phase, the Last Dose Date is the same as Last Dose Date 
of Blinded Study Drug.  
For participants who completed blinded study drug and entered open-label phase, the 
Last Dose Date is the latest non-missing end date of open-label study drug, recorded on the 
Study Drug Administration eCRF form with “Study Drug Permanently Discontinued” box 
checked for participants who prematurely discontinued open-label study drug or who completed 
open-label study drug according to the Open-Label Study Drug Completion eCRF. If the last 
dose date is missing (eg, due to lost to follow up) for participants who prematurely discontinued 
open-label study drug, or for participants who are still on open-label study drug, the latest of 
nonmissing open-label study drug start dates and end dates, the clinical visit dates and the 


TAF, GS-US-320-0110 Final China 
 
Statistical Analysis Plan 
Version .1.0 
CONFIDENTIAL

25 October 2023 
laboratory visit dates excluding the dates of 24-week TFFU visits will be used to impute the last 
dose date. 
Last Study Date is the latest of nonmissing study drug (blinded or open-label) start dates and 
end dates, the clinic visit and the laboratory visit dates including the 24-week TFFU visit date for 
participants who prematurely discontinued the study or who completed the study according to 
Study Completion eCRF. 
Baseline value for the double-blind phase (except DXA BMD) is defined as the last 
nonmissing value obtained on or prior to Study Day 1. For DXA BMD, the baseline value is 
defined as the last nonmissing value on or prior to Study Day 14. Baseline value for the 
open-label phase (except DXA BMD) is defined as the last nonmissing value obtained on or 
prior to Open-label Study Day 1. For DXA BMD, it is defined as the last nonmissing value on or 
prior to Open-Label Study Day 14 and the last dose date of open-label study drug. 
3.6.2. 
Analysis Windows 
Participant visits might not occur on protocol specified days. Therefore, for the purpose of 
analysis, observations will be assigned to analysis windows.  
The following windows (shown on Table 3-1 to Table 3-7) apply to baseline and on-treatment 
assessments only.  
For participants who prematurely discontinued the blinded study drug (except participants who 
discontinue study drug after Week 48 due to HBsAg loss with confirmed seroconversion to 
anti-HBs during the double-blind phase), laboratory and DXA assessments up to and including 
the last dose date of the blinded study drug, will be considered as on-treatment during the 
double-blind phase. For participants who completed the double-blind phase, laboratory 
assessments up to and including the last dose date of the double-blind study drug + 1 day, and 
DXA assessments on or prior to the last dose date of the double-blind study drug + 14 days, will 
be considered as on-treatment during the double-blind phase. 
For participants who prematurely discontinued the open-label study drug (except participants 
who discontinue study drug after Week 48 due to HBsAg loss with confirmed seroconversion to 
anti-HBs during the open-label phase), laboratory and DXA assessments up to and including the 
last dose date of the open-label study drug + 3 days, will be considered as on-treatment during 
the open-label phase. For participants completed the open-label phase, laboratory assessments up 
to and including the last dose date of the open-label study drug + 3 days, and DXA assessments 
up to and including the last dose date of the open-label study drug + 14 days, will be considered 
as on-treatment during the open-label phase. For participants who have not discontinued the 
open-label study drug permanently, data collected up to database finalization date will be 
considered as on-treatment of the open-label phase. 
For participants who discontinue study drug early due to HBsAg loss with confirmed 
seroconversion, all efficacy data including data collected after the last dose date of the study drug 
will be reassigned analysis visits using the on-treatment assessment windows 
(Table 3-1, Table 3-2, and Table 3-4).

3.6.3. 
Selection of Data in the Event of Multiple Records in a Window 
Depending on the statistical analysis method, single values are required for each analysis 
window. For example, change from baseline by visit usually requires a single value, whereas a 
time-to-event analysis would not require 1 value per analysis window. When a single value is 
needed, the following rule(s) will be used.  
For baseline of the double-blind and open-label phases, the last available record on or prior to the 
first dose of blinded and open-label study drug will be selected, respectively. For DXA BMD 
baseline, the last value on or prior to Study Day 14, and on or prior to Open-Label Study Day 14 
and the last dose date of open-label study drug will be selected for the double-blind and the 
open-label phases, respectively. If there are multiple records with the same time or no time 
recorded on the same day for numeric observations, an average will be computed for that day, 
with the exception for HBV DNA and Quantitative HBsAg for which geometric mean will be 
taken. If there are multiple records with the same time or no time recorded on the same day for 
categorical observations, the most conservative value will be taken, eg, negative will be selected 
over positive for HBeAg and HBsAg, and positive will be selected over negative for HBeAb and 
HBsAb. 
The following specified rules will be used for postbaseline visits: 
• ALT: The largest value will be included in the analysis when 2 or more ALT values occur 
within the same visit window. 
• BMD: The latest record in the window will be selected. 
• HBV DNA and Quantitative HBsAg: The record closest to the nominal day for that visit 
will be selected. If there are 2 records equidistant from the nominal day, the latest will be 
selected. If there is more than 1 record on the selected day, the geometric mean will be taken. 
• Serology: For HBeAg, HBeAb, HBsAg, and HBsAb, the record closest to the nominal day 
for that visit will be selected. If there are 2 records equidistant from the nominal day, the 
latest will be selected. If there is more than 1 record on the selected day, the most 
conservative value will be taken, ie, positive will be selected over negative for HBeAg and 
HBsAg, and negative will be selected over positive for HBeAb and HBsAb. 
For all other laboratory parameters:  
• If multiple valid nonmissing numeric observations exist in a window, then records will be 
chosen as follows: 
 The record closest to the nominal day for that visit will be selected. If there are 2 records 
equidistant from the nominal day, the latest will be selected. If there is more than 1 record 
on the selected day, the average will be taken.

• If multiple valid nonmissing categorical observations (eg, safety ECG results) exist in a 
window, then records will be chosen as follows: 
 The most conservative value (eg, abnormal will be selected over normal for safety ECG) 
within the window will be selected. In the event that 2 values within a window are of 
equal abnormality, the value collected nearest to the nominal date will be used.

4.3. 
Extent of Exposure 
Exposure data described below will be summarized for the double-blind phase and open-label 
phase separately. 
4.3.1. 
Duration of Exposure to Blinded Study Drug 
Duration of exposure to blinded study drug will be defined as (last dose date of blinded study 
drug – first dose date of blinded study drug + 1), regardless of temporary interruptions in study 
drug administration, and will be expressed in weeks (recorded to 1 decimal place, eg, 4.5 weeks). 
If subjects are still on blinded study drug, the latest of blinded study drug start and end dates, 
and the clinic and laboratory visit dates (excluding the open-label and 24-week treatment-free 
follow-up visit dates) will be used to impute the last dose date of blinded study drug for 
calculating the duration of blinded study drug exposure. 
Duration of exposure to blinded study drug will be summarized using descriptive statistics 
(sample size, mean, standard deviation [SD], median, Q1, Q3, minimum, and maximum) and as 
the number and percentage of subjects exposed for specified periods, eg, ≥ 4 weeks (28 days), 
≥ 8 weeks (56 days), etc. 
Summaries will be provided by treatment group for subjects in the Safety Analysis Set. No 
inferential statistics will be provided. 
4.3.2. 
Adherence with Blinded Study Drug Regimen 
Study drug regimen adherence will be computed based on tablet counts for the active drug only 
(eg, adherence in TAF group only includes TAF and not placebo for TDF). The numbers of 
tablets of study drug dispensed and returned are captured on study drug accountability forms.

∑No. of tablets taken at each dispensing period   [1]
(∑No. of tablets prescribed at each dispensing period [2]) + 1 
 
[1] Number of tablets taken at a distinct dispensing period for a study drug is calculated as the minimum of (a) the daily number    
     of tablets prescribed for the study drug multiplied by (the duration of treatment +1 day) at the dispensing period of the same 
     dispensing date, and (b) the number of tablets taken for the study drug (number of tablets dispensed minus the number of  
     tablets returned). Total number of tablets taken is determined by summing the number of tablets taken from all evaluable  
     dispensing periods. 
[2] Number of tablets prescribed at a distinct dispensing period for a study drug is calculated as the daily number of tablets  
      prescribed for the study drug multiplied by the duration of treatment at the dispensing period of the same dispensing date.  
      Total number of tablets prescribed is determined by summing the number of tablets prescribed from all evaluable dispensing  
      periods. 
The duration of treatment at a dispensing period for a study drug is calculated as the minimum 
of (a) the last returned date of the same dispensing period for the study drug, (b) date of 
premature discontinuation of the study drug, and (c) next dispensing date of the study drug, 
minus dispensing date of the study drug. 
The next dispensing date is the following dispensing date of the study drug regardless of the 
bottle return date. 
For a record where the number of tablets returned was missing (with “Yes” answered for “Was 
bottle returned?” question), it is assumed the number of tablets returned was 0. If the number of 
tablets dispensed was missing or any study drug bottle was not returned or the bottle return status 
was unknown for the same dispensing date, then all records for the same dispensing date for that 
study drug will be excluded from both denominator and numerator calculation. 
Adherence up to the Week 144 Visit will be calculated for subjects in the Safety Analysis Set. 
The number and percentage of subjects who return at least 1 bottle and have calculable 
adherence during the study, descriptive statistics for adherence up to Week 144 visit for a study 
drug regimen (sample size, mean, SD, median, Q1, Q3, minimum, and maximum) along with the 
number and percentage of subjects belonging to adherence categories (eg, < 80%, ≥ 80% to 
< 90%, ≥ 90% to < 95%, ≥ 95%) will be provided by treatment group for the Safety Analysis 
Set. No inferential statistics will be provided. 
4.3.3. 
Duration of Exposure to Open-Label Study Drug 
Duration of exposure to open-label study drug will be summarized for participants in the 
Open-Label Safety Set. It is defined as (Last Dose Date of Open-Label Study Drug – First Dose 
Date of Open-Label Study Drug + 1) / 7 in weeks, regardless of temporary interruptions in study 
drug administration, and will be summarized using descriptive statistics (ie, sample size, mean, 
standard deviation [SD], median, first quartile [Q1], third quartile [Q3], minimum and

maximum) by treatment group. The number and percentage of participants exposed will be 
summarized by prespecified period, eg, ≥ 12 weeks (84 days), ≥ 24 weeks (168 days), etc. 
If participants are still on open-label study drug at the time of the data-cut, the latest date of the 
open-label study drug start and end dates, the clinic visit dates, and laboratory visit dates 
(excluding the 24-week TFFU visit dates) will be used to impute the last dose date of the 
open-label study drug for calculating the duration of the open-label study drug exposure. 
4.3.4. 
Adherence with Open-Label Study Drug Regimen 
Study drug regimen adherence will be computed based on tablet counts for open-label study drug 
for participants in the Open-Label Safety Set. The numbers of tablets of open-label study drug 
dispensed and returned are captured on study drug accountability forms. The same formula used 
for the adherence of double-blind study drug regimen will be used for the calculation of 
adherence to the open-label study drug regimen. 
The duration of treatment at a dispensing period for the open-label study drug is calculated as 
the minimum of (a) the last returned date of the same dispensing period for the open-label study 
drug, (b) date of premature discontinuation of open-label study drug, and (c) next dispensing 
date of open-label study drug, minus the dispensing date of the open-label study drug. 
The next dispensing date is the following dispensing date of open-label study drug regardless of 
the bottle return date.  
For a record where the number of tablets returned was missing (with “Yes” answered for 
“Was bottle returned?” question), it is assumed the number of tablets returned was 0. If the 
number of tablets dispensed was missing or any open-label study drug bottle was not returned or 
the bottle return status was unknown for the same dispensing date, then all records for the same 
dispensing date for the open-label study drug will be excluded from both denominator and 
numerator calculation. 
Adherence for open-label study drug will be calculated using all data from the entire open-label 
dosing period up to the date of permanent discontinuation of the open-label study drug for 
participants who prematurely discontinued open-label study drug, or completed open-label study 
drug. 
The number and percentage of participants who return at least 1 bottle and have calculable 
adherence during the open-label phase, descriptive statistics for adherence up to the visits 
mentioned above for the open-label study drug (sample size, mean, SD, median, Q1, Q3, 
minimum, and maximum) along with the number and percentage of participants belonging to 
adherence categories (eg, < 80%, ≥ 80% to < 90%, ≥ 90% to < 95%, ≥ 95%) will be provided by 
treatment group for the Open-Label Safety Analysis Set. No inferential statistics will be 
provided.

For the final analyses, efficacy data will be summarized for the double-blind and open-label 
phase up to Week 384 using Missing = Failure (M = F) based on participants in the FAS and 
Missing = Excluded (M = E) approach based on participants in the FAS if applicable. 
No statistical comparisons will be performed for the efficacy analyses. All efficacy data up to the 
week 384 (i.e., final) data finalization including data collected during 24-week TFFU period for 
participants who prematurely discontinued study drug will be listed. 
HBV DNA lab values based on the Roche COBAS® Taqman® assay (with LLOQ of 29 IU/mL,

6.2.2. 
Analysis Methods for Secondary Efficacy End points 
The analyses for the secondary efficacy endpoints will be conducted using the FAS. All the 
secondary efficacy endpoints involving proportions will be analyzed using the same statistical 
method (M = F) applied to the analysis of the primary efficacy endpoint. Sensitivity analyses will 
be performed using the M = E approach as well. No statistical comparisons will be performed. 
The change from baseline in log10 (HBV DNA) (IU/mL), log10 (HBsAg) (IU/mL), and ALT 
will be summarized by visit using observed data (ie, missing will be excluded). In addition, the 
proportion of participants with HBV DNA < 29 IU/mL (M = F and M = E), ALT normalization 
(M = F and M = E), mean change from double-blind baseline in log10 (HBV DNA) (IU/mL), 
log10 (HBsAg) (IU/mL), and ALT (U/L) will be plotted over time for participants in the FAS.  
Fibrosis assessed by FibroTest® at each visit and the change from baseline in FibroTest score 
will be summarized using descriptive statistics (sample size, mean, SD, median, Q1, Q3, 
minimum, and maximum) by treatment group. A shift table of fibrosis stage based on FibroTest 
score by visit will also be provided. Mean change from double-blind baseline in FibroTest score 
will be plotted with 95% CI over time using observed data for participants in the FAS. No 
statistical comparisons will be performed. A listing of fibrosis assessment by FibroTest® will 
also be provided. 
6.3. 
Changes From Protocol-Specified Efficacy Analyses 
Change from baseline in log10 (HBV DNA) (IU/mL), log10 (HBsAg) (IU/mL), and ALT were 
added in the SAP as secondary efficacy end points to fully explore the treatment effect of TAF 
versus TDF. The Randomized Analysis Set was not defined in the protocol but is added in the 
SAP. All these changes which were previously documented in the Week 48 China Analysis SAP 
have been carried over to this SAP.

Laboratory data collected during the study will be analyzed and summarized using both 
quantitative and qualitative methods. Summaries of graded laboratory data will be provided for 
double-blind phase on Safety Analysis Set and the open-label phase based on the Open-Label 
Safety Analysis Set. Summaries of numerical laboratory data by visit will be provided for the 
entire study period for participants in the Safety Analysis Set from baseline to Week 384. 
The analyses will be based on values reported in conventional units. When values are below the 
LOQ, they will be listed as such, and the closest imputed value will be used for the purpose of 
calculating summary statistics as specified in Section 3.4. 
A by-participant listing for laboratory test results will be provided by participant ID number and 
visit in chronological order for hematology, serum chemistry, urine chemistry, and urinalysis 
separately. Values falling outside of the relevant reference range and/or having a severity grade 
of 1 or higher on the Gilead Grading Scale for Severity of Adverse Events and Laboratory 
Abnormalities will be flagged in the data listings, as appropriate. 
7.2.1. 
Summaries of Numeric Laboratory Results 
Descriptive statistics (sample size, mean, SD, median, Q1, Q3, minimum, and maximum) will be 
provided by treatment group for each laboratory test during the entire study period specified in 
the study protocol as follows: 
• Baseline values 
• Values at each postbaseline analysis window 
• Change from baseline to each postbaseline analysis window 
• Percentage change from baseline to each postbaseline analysis window (if specified)  
In the case of multiple values in an analysis window, data will be selected for analysis as 
described in Section 3.6.3. 
Median (Q1, Q3) change from the double-blind baseline in selected safety end points including 
the fasting lipid panel parameters, and fasting glucose over time will be plotted by treatment 
group for the entire study treatment period (double-blind and open-label phases combined), for 
participants in the Safety Analysis Set.

Fasting lipid data (including total cholesterol, LDL, HDL and triglycerides) will also be analyzed 
using the following National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) Adult Treatment Panel 
(ATP) III categories {National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) 2001}: 
• For total cholesterol (mg/dL): < 200 (desirable), 200-239 (borderline high), and 
≥ 240 (high) 
• For LDL (mg/dL): < 100 (optimal), 100-129 (near optimal/above optimal), 
130-159 (borderline high), 160-189 (high), and ≥ 190 (very high) 
• For HDL (mg/dL): < 40 (low), 40-59 (normal), and ≥ 60 (high) 
• For triglycerides (mg/dL): < 150 (normal), 150-199 (borderline high), 200-499 (high), and 
≥ 500 (very high) 
The number and proportion of participants for the above categories of each lipid parameter will 
be summarized by its baseline category for each treatment group at each visit for the entire study 
treatment period. 
7.2.1.2. 
Calcium Corrected for Albumin 
Calcium corrected for albumin will be calculated and summarized. The following formula will 
be used when both serum calcium and albumin results for a given blood draw are available and 
serum albumin value is < 4.0 g/dL.  
Calcium corrected for albumin (mg/dL) = serum calcium (mg/dL) + 0.8 × (4.0 – albumin (g/dL)) 
When albumin value is ≥ 4.0 g/dL, the actual calcium results will be used. Toxicity grading for 
calcium will be applied based on the corrected values. 
7.2.2. 
Graded Laboratory Values 
The criteria specified in the protocol will be used to grade laboratory results as Grade 0, 
Grade 1 (mild), Grade 2 (moderate), Grade 3 (severe) or Grade 4 (life-threatening). Grade 0 
includes all values that do not meet criteria for an abnormality of at least Grade 1. Some 
laboratory tests have criteria for both increased and decreased levels; analysis for each direction 
(ie, increased, decreased) will be presented separately.  
For triglycerides, LDL, and total cholesterol, the protocol-specified toxicity grade scale is for 
fasting test values; non-fasting lipid results (or lipid results without known fasting status) will not 
be graded or summarized by toxicity grades.  
If any laboratory toxicity grading scale overlaps with normal reference ranges (eg, Grade 1 scale 
overlaps with normal reference ranges), laboratory values within normal range will not be graded 
except for lipid tests.

Treatment-emergent laboratory abnormalities occurring in the double-blind phase are defined as 
values that increase by at least 1 toxicity grade from baseline at any postbaseline visit up to and 
including the last does date of the blinded study drug (or ‘last dose date of the blinded study drug 
+ 1’ for those who enter the open-label phase) for those who discontinued blinded study drug 
permanently, or values that increase by at least 1 toxicity grade from baseline at any postbaseline 
visit for those who are still on the blinded study drug. If the relevant baseline laboratory data are 
missing, any laboratory abnormality of at least Grade 1 will be considered treatment-emergent. 
Treatment-emergent laboratory abnormalities occurring in the open-label phase are defined as 
values that increase by at least 1 toxicity grade from the open-label baseline at any open-label 
postbaseline visit up to and including the last dose date of open-label study drug + 3 days for 
those who discontinued open-label study drug prematurely (or ‘last dose date of the open-label 
study drug + 3 days’ for those who completed the open-label phase), or values that increase by at 
least 1 toxicity grade from the open-label baseline at any open-label postbaseline visit for those 
who are still on the open-label study drug. For the analyses of abnormalities occurring during 
open-label treatment, baseline will be the last available record on or prior to Open-Label Study 
Day 1.  
Fasting glucose and nonfasting glucose are graded based on different grading scales. 
Treatment-emergent laboratory abnormalities will be summarized for fasting glucose. Since 
nonfasting glucose was not assessed at baseline, the maximum postbaseline grade will be 
summarized.

prematurely (or ‘last dose date of the blinded study drug + 1 day’ for those who completed 
double -blind phase), or values that worsen by at least 3 grades from baseline at any postbaseline 
visit for those who are still on blinded study drug. If relevant baseline laboratory data are missing, 
any laboratory abnormalities of at least Grade 3 or 4 will be considered as treatment-emergent 
marked laboratory abnormalities. 
Treatment-emergent marked laboratory abnormalities occurring in the open-label phase are defined 
as values that worsen by at least 3 grades from the open-label baseline at any open-label 
postbaseline visit up to and including the last dose date of open-label study drug + 3 days for those

The baseline and change from baseline in serum creatinine will be summarized using descriptive 
statistics.  
Median (Q1, Q3) and mean (95% CIs) of change from the double-blind baseline in observed 
serum creatinine over time will be plotted by treatment group for the entire study treatment 
period for participants in the Safety Analysis Set. 
A positive shift in serum creatinine values was observed due to a lot calibration change on 
01 July, 2018, occurring across Covance laboratory sites worldwide. A correction was therefore 
applied to records on or after 01 July, 2018 to serum creatinine, following the regression 
equation specified in Table 7-2. The corrected serum creatinine values will be used for the 
analyses of serum creatinine, serum creatinine toxicity, eGFR estimated by the Cockcroft Gault 
formula, eGFR by the CKD-EPI method and other relevant parameters.  
The corrected values must be in the same unit as the original values after going through the 
regression formula in Table 7-2. 
• If the unit of serum creatinine is “μmol/L”, then use the formula directly.

• If the unit of serum creatinine is “mg/dL”, the values should be converted to “μmol/L” before 
using the formula.  
After the correction, unit of serum creatinine should be converted back to “mg/dL” for summary 
and comparison purpose.

1.018 (if female) × 1.159 (if black), 
where κ is 0.7 for females and 0.9 for males, α is –0.329 for females and –0.411 for males, 
min indicates the minimum of SCr/κ or 1, and max indicates the maximum of SCr/κ or 1 
{Levey 2009}. 
• CKD-EPI Cystatin C based: 
eGFRCKD-EPI, cysC (mL/min/1.73 m2) = 133 × min(SCys/0.8, 1)-0.499 × max(SCys/0.8, 1)-1.328 × 
0.996age [× 0.932 if female],

7.7. 
Prior Hepatitis B Medications 
Prior HBV medications will be summarized by treatment group. No inferential statistics will be 
computed. A listing of prior HBV medications will also be provided. 
7.8. 
Concomitant Medications 
Concomitant medications (ie, medications other than study drug that are taken while receiving 
study drug) will be coded using the WHO Drug Dictionary. The WHO preferred name and drug 
code will be attached to the clinical database. Use of concomitant medications for the 
double-blind, the open-label phases, and will be summarized (number and percentage of 
participants) separately by treatment group and WHO drug class and preferred name. Multiple 
drug use (by preferred name) will be counted only once per participant. The summary will be 
sorted alphabetically by drug class and then by decreasing total frequency within a class.  
If the start or stop date of concomitant medications is incomplete, the month and year 
(or year alone if month is not recorded) of start or stop date will be used to determine if the 
medications are concomitant as follows. The medication is concomitant for the double-blind 
phase if the month and year of start or stop (or year of the start or stop) of the medication do not 
meet any of following criteria:

25 October 2023 
• The month and year of start of the medication is after the date of the last dose of blinded 
study drug 
• The month and year of stop of the medication is before the date of the first dose of blinded 
study drug 
The medication is concomitant for the open-label phase if the month and year of start or stop 
(or year of the start or stop) of the medication do not meet any of following criteria: 
• The month and year of start of the medication is after the date of the last dose of open-label 
study drug 
• The month and year of stop of the medication is before the date of the first dose of open-label 
study drug 
If both the start and stop date of the medication are missing, the medication will be considered as 
concomitant during both double-blind and open-label phases. 
If the start and stop date of the medications are not missing, and the start date is not after the last 
dose date of the blinded study drug and the stop date is not before the first dose date of the 
blinded study drug, or the medications are marked as ongoing and start date is on or before the 
last dose date of the blinded study drug, the medications are considered concomitant during the 
double-blind phase. 
Similarly, if the start and stop date of the medications are not missing, and the start date is not 
after the last dose date of the open-label study drug and the stop date is not before the first dose 
date of the open-label study drug, or the medications are marked as ongoing and start date is on 
or before the last dose date of the open-label study drug, the medications are considered 
concomitant during the open-label phase. 
Summaries of concomitant medications will be provided for the double-blind phase using the 
Safety Analysis Set and the open-label phase using the Open-Label Safety Analysis Set. 
No inferential statistics will be provided. Participants with any concomitant medication use will 
also be listed.

Appendix 2. 
Determining Missing and Virtual Visits Due to COVID-19 
This appendix describes the clinical trial site collection of COVID-19 data pertaining to 
missed/virtual visits and the data processing algorithm that will be used to determine which visits 
are missing and which visits are virtual. 
Data Collection 
A COVID-19 supplement to the eCRF Completion Guidelines (CCG) was provided by Clinical 
Data Management to instruct clinical trial sites with data entry expectations pertaining to 
scenarios related to the COVID-19 pandemic. If a visit was missed, sites were instructed to enter 
“Visit missed due to COVID-19” and if an in-person visit was conducted virtually, sites were 
instructed to enter “Virtual visit due to COVID-19”. 
Determination of Missed and Virtual Visits 
Natural Language Processing (NLP) will be used to search the CRF comment fields to identify 
instances of “COVID-19”, “Virtual”, or synonyms (see Table 11-1). The search terms will be 
maintained in a global lookup table and can be modified to tune the NLP model. Any comments 
with COVID-19 search terms, “Missed visit” or “Virtual visit” will be assigned as follows: 
i. If COVID-19 terms are identified through NLP and the visit date is missing, then result is 
“Missed Visit” 
ii. If COVID-19 and Virtual terms are identified through NLP for a visit, then result is “Virtual 
Visit”. When there are multiple records for the same participant and the same visit, if one 
record could be categorized as “Virtual Visit”, all records associated with this participant and 
this visit will be categorized as “Virtual Visit” 
iii. Otherwise result is missing
