NCT05965388

Brief Summary

The goal of this prospective, exploratory, non-intervention, multi-center, real-world study is to investigate the predictive value of HBV pgRNA in the occurrence of long-term outcomes under antiviral therapy in patients with chronic hepatitis B. Participants will take the necessary clinical examination and blood draw during the patient's treatment and follow-up, and all the treatment is determined by clinicians.
