NCT05937178

Brief Summary

The goal of this multicenter, observational, prospective study is to observe and compare different anti-viral treatment strategies in a real-world cohort of patients with CHB managed in routine clinical settings in China. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  1. 1.To evaluate the benefits of initiating first-line nucleos(t)ide analogue in patients with chronic HBV infection who are recommended in the updated Chinese Guideline 2022, but not recommended in the Chinese Guideline 2019.
  2. 2.To evaluate the Chinese Guideline recommends initiation of treatment, but at least one foreign authoritative guideline (eg. AASLD, EASL) does not recommend the benefit of initiating first-line nucleos(t)ide analogue in patients with chronic HBV infection who initiate treatment.
  3. 3.To compare the treatment effect of different alternatives with patients who have partial response after treatment with first-line nucleos(t)ide analogues.
