What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused

Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study looks at immune cells from lymph nodes, tonsils, and liver tissue of people with chronic hepatitis B. Researchers want to understand how the germinal centers—the parts of the body that train immune cells—respond to the virus. By analyzing these tissues, they hope to learn why some people cannot clear the infection. This is an observational study, meaning no new treatment is being tested.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this study could reveal new targets for treatments or vaccines that harness the immune system to fight chronic hepatitis B.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It only collects tissue samples, so it cannot directly lead to a cure or therapy.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Before performing any research-related steps, the patient understood the research process, signed the informed consent, and complied with the research requirements. 3. Patients diagnosed with chronic hepatitis B virus infection according to the "Guidelines for the Prevention and Treatment of Chronic Hepatitis B(2019 Version)" . Exclusion Criteria: 1. Those concomitant HCV, HIV infection, alcoholic fatty liver disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and autoimmune liver disease , etc. were excluded. 2. Diseases of the immune system or coagulation system, such as hyperthyroidism, diabetes, thrombocytopenic purpura, etc., were excluded. 3.
