Study summary

Establish a study cohort of adult chronic hepatitis B antiviral treatment based on the principle of responseguidedtreatment (RGT) corresponding to the child cohort, analyze the clinical cure factors of IC and IT stage adults chronic hepatitis B, and optimize the antiviral treatment plan. To determine the safety and efficacy of PD-1 antibody combined with Peg-FNa-2b in the treatment of adult NAs patients with CHB advantage.

Read the detailed description

This research group established an adult randomized controlled study cohort corresponding to the children cohort: 1 immunetolerance (IT) and 1 immuneclearance (IC) antiviral treatment cohort, respectively according to 1: 1 Randomly divided into two intervention groups: nucleoside (acid) analogues (NAs) and NAs combined with pegylated interferon α-2b (PegIFNα-2b). 1 NAs treatment-advantaged population antiviral combined with novel immunotherapy cohort: PD-1 antibody, PegIFNα-2b and combination group were randomly enrolled 1:1:1, and the response guidance treatment plan was adjusted according to the response of patients during treatment, the HBsAg clearance rate at 24 weeks and 48 weeks of different optimal treatment groups was evaluated, the clinical curative characteristics and differences between children and adults were compared, and the key factors affecting clinical cure were screened. To determine the safety and efficacy of PD-1 antibody combined with Peg-FNa-2b in the treatment of adult NAs patients with CHB advantage.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Age 18-65 years old;
  • Meet the 2022 Chronic Guidelines definition of chronic HBV infection: HBsAg and/or HBVDNA positive >6 months;;
  • Immune clearance period: HBeAg positive, HBVDNA positive, >40U/L;
  • Newly treated patients;
  • Willing to sign

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with HAV, , HEV infection and liver disease; Pregnant and lactating women and patients who plan to give birth in the near future;
  • Patients with cirrhosis or liver cancer indicated by imaging or liver hardness testing;
  • A history of serious heart disease, including unstable or uncontrolled heart disease within the last 6 months;
  • Have a mental illness or history of mental illness;
  • Have uncontrolled seizures;
  • Alcoholics or drug users who have not abstained;
  • Have uncontrolled diabetes, hypertension, thyroid disease, retinopathy, autoimmune disease, etc.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(5)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Hepatitis B tests

Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.

Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.

ALT and AST (liver enzymes)

Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.

Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Hepatitis C tests

Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver. An HCV antibody test can stay positive after an infection has cleared (and is occasionally positive without one); an HCV RNA test shows whether the virus is there now.

After treatment, hepatitis C counts as cured when HCV RNA is still undetectable 12 weeks or more after the treatment ended. Studies often accept people cured this way.

Autoimmune disease

A condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease.

Immunotherapy studies often leave out active autoimmune disease, and some name exceptions, such as thyroid disease on replacement hormone. Check the exceptions this study lists.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Dec 2023 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Nov 2026, 35 months after the start.

Of 42 interventional studies with no phase under Hepatitis B, Chronic, half reached primary completion within 44 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 21 and three quarters within 121. This study's planned 35 months is below that.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jan 15, 2025, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
