This Phase 1/2a multiple part study is a first time-in-human (FTIH) study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of single (Part 1) and repeat doses (Part 2) of GSK3965193 in healthy participants. Part 3 will evaluate the ability of GSK3965193 to lower hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg) in participants living with chronic hepatitis B infection (PLWCHB) and will be given the option to subsequently receive treatment with open label bepirovirsen. Part 4 will evaluate the safety and tolerability of combination therapy with GSK3965193 and bepirovirsen and the potential to effect sustained virologic response in PLWCHB.
