A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to evaluate the effects of peginterferon α-2b combined with nucleoside analogs on patients who have undergone radical surgery for hepatitis B associated hepatocellular carcinoma. Eligible patients will be screened and divided into three treatment groups based on their therapy regimen. Data will be collected at fixed time points post-treatment initiation to assess the outcomes of the different antiviral therapies. The study will involve a total of 360 subjects from a single center.
