eligible for study participation. Participants with a past or resolved hepatitis B
virus (HBV) infection (defined as having a positive total HBcAb and negative hepatitis
B surface antigen [HbsAg]) may be included if HBV DNA is undetectable. These
participants must be willing to undergo monthly DNA testing

cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, non-malignant melanoma <= 1.0 mm without
ulceration, localized thyroid cancer, or cervical carcinoma in-situ
