    Additional data presented today further reinforces efficacy and safety of AB - 729 In Cohort E, repeat 60 mg Q4W dosing with AB - 729 resulted in a continuous and robust HBsAg decline at week 20 ( - 1.71 log10 IU/mL). Further reductions continued beyond week 20 ( - 1.84 log10 IU/mL, N=3) ▪ No platea
