Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis, Chronic"

Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) is a serious liver disease worldwide, and the leading cause of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). HBsAg loss/seroconversion is considered to be the ideal endpoint of antiviral therapy in both HBeAg-positive and -negative patients, and the ultimate treatment goal in CHB, However HBsAg loss occurred rarely by interferon treatment. Although It was reported that in nature history HBsAg level≤100 IU/ml can bring good long term outcomes in patients with chronic hepatitis B. it was not clear whether patients who achieved HBsAg level≤100 IU/ml by interferon treatment could maintain sustained viral response and the state of HBsAg level≤100 IU/ml.

Our study is a prospective multicenter research and the aim is to explore a variety of suitable evaluation indicators and criteria for diagnosis of diffuse liver fibrosis, to get the corresponding diagnosis threshold, with the domestic common pathological S stages as the gold standard.

The aim of this study is to investigate the off-treatment sustained virological and biochemical response in chronic hepatitis B patients following the guideline by the Asian Pacific Association for the Study of the Liver (APASL) in Korea.
