Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are people with chronic hepatitis B who previously received at least one dose of AHB-137, achieved and maintained a complete or partial response through their parent study End of Study visit, can give informed consent, and are not enrolled in other interventional trials.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who never received AHB-137, did not respond or required rescue medication in the parent study, or who have active cancer or other contraindicating medical conditions are unlikely to benefit from participating.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This is a prospective, open-label, multicenter long-term follow-up of people with chronic hepatitis B who previously received AHB-137 and achieved a complete or partial response without rescue medication. Participants who maintained response through the parent study End of Study visit will be followed for durability of virologic response with periodic visits and viral monitoring. The study is observational with no additional investigational interventions and excludes those who have enrolled in other interventional trials or who have conditions that contraindicate participation. Visits will be conducted at AusperBio investigational sites in Guangzhou and Changchun, China.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this could show how long AHB-137 keeps the virus under control and help doctors plan follow-up and treatment.
How similar studies have gone: Long-term follow-ups of other hepatitis B therapies have often shown durable viral suppression in responders, but long-term data specific to AHB-137 are limited.

Inclusion Criteria: * Capable of giving informed consent. * Participants who have previously received at least one dose of AHB-137 and achieved the complete of partial response in the parent study without rescue medication and who maintained response until the End of Study (EoS) visit in their parent study. Exclusion Criteria: * Participants who have/or are currently participating in another interventional clinical study since completing their treatment with AHB-137. * Suspected for cancer at screening or any condition required hospitalization during this study , or any condition which, in the opinion of the investigator or Medical Monitor, contraindicates their participation in this study.
