VIR starts 4-drug phase-2 HBV trial:

https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2023/05/11/2666740/0/en/Vir-Biotechnology-Announces-First-Patient-Dosed-in-New-Phase-2-Chronic-Hepatitis-B-Virus-Trial-Evaluating-Combinations-of-VIR-2218-VIR-3434-PEG-IFN%CE%B1-and-an-NRTI.html

The four drugs are: VIR-2218, a siRNA; VIR-3434, a mAb; PEG-IFN; and a (generic) nucleoside.

A separate phase-2 trial (VIR calls it a “subprotocol”) will test VIR-3434 and a nuke, with and without VIR-2218, in patients who are chronic inactive carriers of the HBV virus. I'm unclear as to whether this second trial is for research purposes or for an addressable commercial market.
