Brief Summary

Compared to TDF, peginterferon alfa 2a may has more therapeutic efficacy in hepatitis B surface antigen or e antigen seroconversion and anti-tumor occurrence in chronic hepatitis b patients. We design this study to compare the effectiveness and safety between the combination therapy of TDF and peg-IFN with TDF alone in NAs experienced patients with HBV related liver fibrosis. Especially the improvement of liver fibrosis and the occurrence of long-term end-stage liver disease such as cirrhosis, liver cancer, etc.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Ratio of regression of fibrosis

    Regression of fibrosis was defined as liver stiffness measured by transient elastography changed from 9\~12kpa to 6\~9kpa or below, and from 6\~9kpa to less than 6kpa. After treatment, the proportion of patients with regression of fibrosis in the two groups was the ratio of regression of fibrosis, separately.

    48 weeks; 96 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Ratio of loss of hepatitis b e antigen or/and seroconversion

    24 week, 48 week, 72 week, 96 week

  • Ratio of loss of hepatitis b s antigen or/and seroconversion

    24 week, 48 week, 72 week, 96 week

  • Logarithmic mean of HBsAg decline

    24 week, 48 week, 72 week, 96 week

Study Arms (2)

TDF group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

93 patients would receive treatment of oral medication of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) 300mg once per day from baseline to 48 weeks. Then they would receive oral medication of TDF 300 mg once per day from 49 to 96 weeks.

Drug: Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate

Combination group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

93 patients would receive treatment of subcutaneous injection of peginterferon alfa 2a 180 μg once per week and meanwhile oral medication of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) 300 mg once per day from baseline to 48 weeks. Then they would receive oral medication of TDF 300 mg once per day from 49 to 96 weeks.
