Brief Summary
This is a randomized, open-labelled, prospective 96-week study comparing the antiviral efficacy and safety of switching to entecavir 0.5mg QD from lamivudine versus maintaining lamivudine 100mg QD treatment in CHB patients currently receiving lamivudine monotherapy.

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Adult subjects (18-70 years of age) currently taking lamivudine monotherapy for chronic HBV infection for at least 6 months with \< HBV DNA 60 IU/mL level and HBeAg positive status.
You may not qualify if:
- Subjects treated with other antiviral drugs (e.g. adefovir) in combination with lamivudine are not eligible for this study.
- Subjects should have ALT \< 10 x ULN, and no evidence of hepatocellular carcinoma.
- Subjects should be without serological evidence of co-infection with HCV, HIV, or HDV.
- Subjects with decompensated liver disease, as well as pregnant or breast-feeding women, will not be eligible for the study.
