NCT ID NCT04896255
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows 33,000 adults with chronic hepatitis B to see how well different antiviral medicines work over up to 5 years. Researchers will compare treatments like entecavir, tenofovir, and peginterferon to find which ones best prevent liver cancer and other serious liver problems. Participants receive their usual care, and no new drugs are tested.
