About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Chronic Hepatitis B

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - 60 Years (Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria

  • Patient with DNA levels >=1 x 10^5 copies/mL within 30 days of baseline.
  • Patient is documented to be HBsAg positive for > 6 months.
  • Patient has ALT levels >=80 IU/L
  • Women of childbearing potential must have a negative urine (β-HCG) pregnancy test taken within 14 days of starting therapy.

Exclusion Criteria.

  • Patient is currently receiving antiviral, immunomodulatory, cytotoxic or corticosteroid therapy.
  • Patients previously treated with interferon within the previous 6 months.
  • Patients previously treated with clevudine, lamivudine, adefovir, entecavir, telbivudine or any other investigational nucleoside for HBV infection.
  • Patient has a history of ascites, variceal hemorrhage or hepatic encephalopathy.
  • Patient is coinfected with HCV, HDV or HIV.
  • Patient with clinical evidence of decompensated liver disease or hepatocellular carcinoma
  • Patient is pregnant or breast-feeding.
  • Patient is unwilling to use an "effective" method of contraception during the study and for up to 3 months after the use of study drug ceases.
  • Patient has a clinically relevant history of abuse of alcohol or drugs.
  • Patient has a significant immunocompromised, gastrointestinal, renal, hematological, psychiatric, bronchopulmonary, biliary diseases excluding asymptomatic GB stone, neurological, cardiac, oncologic(except HCC)or allergic disease or medical illness that in the investigator's opinion might interfere with therapy.
  • Patient has creatinine clearance less than 60mL/min as estimated by the following formula: (140-age in years) (body weight [kg])/(72) (serum creatinine [mg/dL]) [Note: multiply estimates by 0.85 for women]
