Study summary

Collect basic information of patients before antiviral treatment and when HBsAg disappears, and divide them into three groups A, B, and C based on baseline anti HBs titers after informed consent. During the follow-up period of all patients, clinical biochemistry, virology (HBVDNA, HBVRNA), serological indicators (HBsAg, anti HBs, HBeAg, anti HBe, HBcrAg, anti HBc), AFP, Fibroscan, liver imaging examinations will be conducted every 3-6 months, and blood samples will be retained for monitoring the frequency of immune cells (pDC, Treg) and the expression of functional molecules, as well as cytokines (IFN - γ, IP-10, IL-10, and TGF - β). Observe the sustained response rate and recurrence rate of virological and serological indicators, as well as the incidence of hepatitis and liver cancer during the follow-up period.

Read the detailed description

Collect basic information of patients before antiviral treatment and when HBsAg disappears, and divide them into three groups A, B, and C based on baseline anti HBs titers after informed consent. Group A has an anti HBs titer ≥ 100mIU/ml and is followed up every 3-6 months for observation. The anti HBs titers\<100mIU/ml were randomly divided into two groups: Group B and Group C. Group B did not intervene and was followed up every 3-6 months for observation; In group C, 20 micrograms of recombinant hepatitis B vaccine were injected subcutaneously three times on day 0, January and March. For group C patients, the level of anti HBs was detected at the 4th month after the initial vaccination. For those who could not produce anti HBs (anti HBs\<10mIU/ml), the recombinant hepatitis B vaccine was subcutaneously injected three times, 20 μ g each time, in 0 day, January and March. During the follow-up period of all patients, clinical biochemistry, virology (HBVDNA, HBVRNA), serological indicators (HBsAg, anti HBs, HBeAg, anti HBe, HBcrAg, anti HBc), AFP, Fibroscan, liver imaging examinations were conducted every 3-6 months, and blood samples were retained for monitoring the frequency of immune cells (pDC, Treg) and the expression of functional molecules, as well as cytokines (IFN - γ, IP-10, IL-10, and TGF - β). Observe the sustained response rate and recurrence rate of virological and serological indicators, as well as the incidence of hepatitis and liver cancer during the follow-up period.

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 between 18 and 65 years old;
  • Gender is not limited;
  • CHB patients who meet the diagnostic criteria of the 2019 edition of the Guidelines for the Prevention and Treatment of Chronic [5];
  • Confirmed interferon treatment resulted in HBsAg disappearance, HBeAg negativity, and HBV DNA below the lower detection limit and cessation Patients treated with interferon;
  • Sign a written form.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Merge with other hepatitis virus (, HDV) infections;
  • liver disease;
  • infection;
  • Long term alcohol abuse and/or other liver damaging drugs;
  • Mental illness;
  • Evidence of liver tumors (liver cancer or AFP>100ng/ml);
  • Decompensated cirrhosis;
  • Individuals with serious diseases of the heart, brain, lungs, kidneys, and other systems who cannot participate in long-term follow-up.
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.

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.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

Study arms

  • No intervention

    Patients with anti-HBs titer ≥100 mIU/ml at baseline were selected as group A

  • No intervention
    Group B:baseline anti-HBs titer<100 mIU/ml

    Patients with anti-HBs titer\<100 mIU/ml at baseline were randomly divided into group B and group C, and group B did not receive intervention

  • Experimental
    Group C:baseline anti-HBs titer<100 mIU/ml

    Patients with anti-HBs titer\<100 mIU/ml at baseline were randomly divided into group B and group C, and group C received hepatitis B vaccine injection.

    Biological: baseline anti-HBs titer

Interventions

  • Biologicalbaseline anti-HBs titer

    Patients with baseline anti-HBs titer\<100 mIU/ml were randomly divided into two groups, group B and group C. Group B did not intervene, while group C received hepatitis B vaccine intervention and observed its indicators.

    The levels of biochemical, AFP, HBV DNA, HBV RNA, HBsAg, anti-HBs, HBeAg, anti-He, anti-He, HBcrAg and anti-HBc measured the expression of frequency and functional molecules of peripheral blood pDC and Treg cells and the plasma levels of IFN- γ, IP-10, IL-10 and TGF- β

    Time frame: Conduct testing every 3-6 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. The incidence of hepatitis and liver cancer

    The incidence of hepatitis and liver cancer among the enrolled researchers during the research process The incidence of hepatitis and liver cancer among the enrolled researchers during the research process The incidence of hepatitis and liver cancer among the enrolled researchers during the research process.

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 Nov 2024 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Oct 2027, 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 31, 2025, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
