This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
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 Results may not be published yet.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
Cancelled before anyone took part.

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 tests an AI-powered assistant (Union-Agent) designed to encourage people with chronic hepatitis B who have been diagnosed but not yet treated to start antiviral medication. The study will enroll 2000 adults in China who are eligible for treatment but haven't started. The AI provides education, medication reminders, symptom tracking, and referral suggestions. The goal is to see if this approach can increase the number of patients who begin antiviral therapy within six months by at least 50% compared to current rates.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Intelligent-agent (Union-Agent) delivering education, reminders, follow-up, and referral suggestions
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that an AI assistant can significantly increase the number of hepatitis B patients who start antiviral treatment, helping more people manage their condition.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage study with no control group, so improvements may be due to other factors. The AI tool requires smartphone use, which may not work for all patients.

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

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 2,000 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Expected to start

May 2026

An estimate. Start dates often move.

Expected to finish

Dec 2027

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

18 years and older

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.
