## Title and summary

**Summary**

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase III study with an open-label extension. The purpose is to evaluate efficacy and safety in adult patients with chronic hepatitis B virus infection who have received at least 12 months of NAs therapy, to demonstrate that TQA3605 Tablets combined with oral nucleos(t)ide analogues can improve efficacy with satisfactory safety profile compared with oral nucleos(t)ide analogues alone in this population. Approximately 930 adult patients with chronic hepatitis B virus infection who have received at least 12 months of NAs therapy are planned to be enrolled in this study.
