Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older with chronic HBV infection who have been positive for HBsAg for more than six months.

Probably not a fit

Patients with a history of liver transplantation, those unable to provide consent, pregnant or breastfeeding women, and individuals not affiliated with a Social Security scheme may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This observational study focuses on chronic Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, which affects millions globally and can lead to severe liver diseases. It aims to evaluate the predictive role of new biomarkers, specifically HBV core-related antigen (HBcrAg) and HBV RNA, in managing the disease and predicting clinical outcomes. The study will involve patients diagnosed with chronic HBV infection who are receiving care at Henri Mondor-Albert Chenevier University Hospital. Blood samples will be collected to assess the association of these biomarkers with HBsAg seroconversion and clinical events like cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved management and treatment strategies for patients with chronic HBV infection.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise in evaluating similar biomarkers for HBV, indicating potential for success in this approach.
