Subject understands and voluntarily signs an informed consent form approved by an Independent Ethics Committee (IEC) prior to the initiation of any screening or study-specific procedures;\n14. Subject must be able to adhere to the study visit schedule and other protocol requirements;\n15. Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) and men must agree to use effective contraception if sexually active. This applies for the time period between signing of the informed consent form and 12 months after last rituximab dose or 18 months after last obinutuzumab dose. A woman is considered of childbearing potential, i.e. fertile, following menarche and until becoming postmenopausal unless permanently sterile. Permanent sterilization methods include but are not limited to hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy and bilateral oophorectomy. A postmenopausal state is defined as no menses for continuous 12 months without an alternative medical cause. A high follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level in the postmenopausal range may be used to confirm a postmenopausal state in women not using hormonal contraception or hormonal replacement therapy. The investigator or a designated associate is requested to advise the patient how to achieve highly effective birth control (failure rate of less than 1%) e.g., intrauterine device (IUD), intrauterine hormone-releasing system (IUS), bilateral tubal occlusion, vasectomized partner. The use of condoms by male patients is required (even if surgically sterilized, i.e., status post vasectomy) unless the female partner is permanently sterile. Full sexual abstinence is admitted when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject, for the same time period planned for other methods of birth control (see above). Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, post ovulation methods for the female partner) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception).\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n1.

Note: subjects with serologic evidence of prior vaccination to HBV (i.e., HBsAg negative, HBsAb positive and HBcAb negative) or positive HBcAb from previous infection or intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG) may participate; inactive carriers (HBsAg positive with undetectable HBV- DNA) are eligible.
