A Study on the Pursuit of Sustained Clearance of HBsAg in Chronic Hepatitis B(CHB) Patients With Previous Interferon Treatment Using Pegylated Interferon Alpha
A Prospective, Non-Randomized, Multicenter Study of Peginterferon Alfa for Pursuing Sustained Hepatitis B Surface Antigen(HBsAg) Clearance in Interferon-Pretreated Patients With Chronic Hepatitis B
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 17 Apr 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This is a real-world, prospective, multicenter, non-randomized, controlled study. It aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of pegylated interferon α-2b (PEG IFN α-2b) monotherapy versus its combination with nucleos(t)ide analogs (NAs) regarding hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) clearance in interferon-experienced patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB). Subjects will receive either interferon-based therapy or NAs monotherapy based on their personal willingness and physicians' professional recommendations, with a uniform 48-week treatment course for all enrolled patients.

Lab values
- • Pregnant or lactating women, or subjects with a pregnancy plan during the study period.
- Subjects with neuropsychiatric disorders, in particular a history of depression, anxiety, mania, schizophrenia, or a family history of psychiatric disorders (especially a history of depression or depressive tendency).
- Concurrent active infection with hepatitis A, hepatitis C, hepatitis E and/or HIV, or chronic liver disease due to other causes (e.g., alcoholic hepatitis, drug-induced liver injury, autoimmune liver disease, etc.).
- Evidence of acute severe liver damage: e.g., ALT \> 10 × ULN, or marked ALT elevation accompanied by significant hyperbilirubinemia.
- Evidence of decompensated liver disease: e.g., ascites, esophagogastric variceal bleeding, sepsis, hepatic encephalopathy, hepatorenal syndrome, etc.; or prior evidence of decompensated cirrhosis.
- Evidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), or AFP \> 1 × ULN.
- Renal diseases: acute or chronic nephritis, renal insufficiency, nephrotic syndrome, etc.; or serum creatinine \> 1 × ULN at screening.
- Neutrophil count \< 1.5 × 10⁹/L, platelet count \< 90 × 10⁹/L, or serum phosphorus \< 0.8 mmol/L during the screening period.
- Autoimmune diseases (e.g., psoriasis, systemic lupus erythematosus, etc.), endocrine disorders (e.g., thyroid diseases, diabetes, etc.), hypertension poorly controlled by prescription medications (blood pressure ≥ 140/90 mmHg), a history of severe heart disease (especially poorly controlled within 6 months), severe retinopathy or other serious ophthalmologic diseases, or other organic lesions or dysfunction of vital organs.
- Subjects planning to undergo or having previously undergone organ transplantation.
- Subjects with hypersensitivity to the investigational product or its excipients, or meeting any contraindication listed in the prescribing information of the investigational product.
- Other conditions deemed inappropriate for enrollment by the investigator
Who the study is looking for
- • Voluntary participation and ability to understand and provide written informed consent.
- Age 18-65 years (inclusive), either gender.
- Documented HBsAg positivity for at least 6 months, or other evidence confirming chronic hepatitis B (CHB).
- Prior interferon therapy before enrollment (treatment discontinuation ≥ 3 months), with HBsAg level at the end of prior treatment reduced by ≥ 50% from baseline.
- HBsAg ≤ 500 IU/mL at screening, and HBsAg rebound at screening not exceeding 50% of the baseline HBsAg level during the first-round interferon therapy.
- Negative pregnancy test within 24 hours prior to the first dose (for women of childbearing potential); all subjects (male and female) must use effective contraceptive measures during the study.
