Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are chronic hepatitis B patients who have had an HBsAg decline of at least 0.5 log10 IU/mL in the past 12 months.

Probably not a fit

Patients currently participating in interventional clinical studies exploring HBV treatment may not benefit from this observational study.

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 prospectively follow chronic hepatitis B patients who have experienced a decline in HBsAg levels over the past 12 months. The study will document treatment patterns and their impact on HBsAg loss, regardless of whether patients received new molecular entities therapy. Participants will be monitored for 36 months, with the possibility of extending the follow-up period based on study objectives. The study is non-interventional, meaning that treatment decisions will be made by the treating physician according to routine clinical practice.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide valuable insights into the treatment patterns that lead to HBsAg loss in chronic hepatitis B patients.

How similar studies have gone: While there have been studies on HBsAg decline, this specific observational approach focusing on treatment patterns is relatively novel.
