First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 30 times
Summary
This study looked at whether people with chronic hepatitis B can safely stop taking antiviral drugs after at least 4 years of treatment. Fifteen adults who had undetectable virus levels stopped their medication and were closely monitored with monthly blood tests for 6 months, then every 3 months. The goal was to see if the virus stayed under control and if stopping caused liver damage. If virus levels rose, treatment was restarted.
