Inclusion criteria:

   1. Male or female, age ≥18 years

   2. CHB (chronic hepatitis B) diagnosis confirmed by positive HBsAg or HBV DNA or HBeAg or
   documented history of CHB in physician note

   at Screening/Baseline and planned to be switched to TAF by their physician

   4. Routinely monitored for serum HBV DNA PCR (polymerase chain reaction), liver chemistry
   including AST (aspartate aminotransferase )/ALT/total bilirubin, renal chemistry
   including BUN (blood urea nitrogen)/Cr/CO2 (carbon dioxide) by their physicians every
   3-6 months and a bone density scan at least every 2 years as per routine clinical care
   (one at baseline and one 2 years after switch).

   5. Estimated creatinine clearance > 15 ml/min (using the Cockcroft-Gault method) at
   Screening/Baseline Visit. (Note: multiply estimated rate by 0.85 for women).

   6. Willing and able to provide informed consent

   7. Able to comply with dosing instructions for study drug administration and able to
   complete the study schedule of assessments

Exclusion criteria:

   1. Pregnant women, women who are breastfeeding or who believe they may wish to become

   2. Previous recipient of a liver transplant

   3. Co-infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or hepatitis C (HCV) or hepatitis

   5. Current or known hepatic decompensation (≤2 years) (e.g ascites, encephalopathy, or
   variceal hemorrhage) with a Child-Pugh score of B or C

   6. Malignancy including liver cancer within 5 years except cancers curable by surgical
   resection (e.g. basal cell skin cancer and squamous cell cancer)

   7. On any of the disallowed concomitant medications listed in the prior and concomitant
   medications list (pg. 11). Subjects on prohibited medications who are otherwise
   eligible will need a wash out period of at least 30 days prior to the

   protocol-specified method(s) of contraception during the study.

   9. Current substance or alcohol abuse judged by the investigator to potentially interfere

10. Any other clinical conditions that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would make the
   subject unsuitable or unable to comply with any of the study procedures
