NCT03013556

Brief Summary

The current study is a prospective, randomized, open, multi-center investigation. The aim of the study is to investigate whether the HBeAg seroconversion rate can be improved if applying combination therapy in HBeAg positive CHB patients who has achieved HBVDNA\<105copies/ml,HBsAg≤5000IU/ml, ALT≥ 2ULN or Liver histology G2S2.
