Summary

This study looks at whether the antiviral drug entecavir can prevent hepatitis B from reactivating in people with a type of blood cancer (CD20-positive B-cell lymphoma) who have had hepatitis B in the past but cleared it. About 84 participants will take entecavir during and for 6 months after their cancer treatment. The goal is to see if this approach reduces the chance of the virus becoming active again.
