NCT ID NCT07668934

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at two antiviral drugs, TAF and TDF, in pregnant women with chronic hepatitis B. It aims to see which one better controls the virus and keeps the mother's liver healthy without harming the baby. About 816 women in early or middle pregnancy will take one of the drugs until delivery and be followed for outcomes.

Active substance

tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that TAF is a safer option for pregnant women with hepatitis B, reducing liver issues and protecting the baby from infection.

What could go wrong

This is a phase 4 study, but results may not apply to all women. Risks include potential side effects for mother or baby, and the study does not aim to cure hepatitis B.
