• Status: Recruiting
• Trial end date: 2025-12-31

Summary

In Taiwan, non-cirrhosis CHB patients with mildly elevated ALT are not candidates for antiviral treatment under Taiwan NIH reimbursement criteria. Disease severity could range from mildly liver injury to cirrhosis in this group of patients. There is a substantial population of patients required antiviral treatment, but not fulfill the criteria of reimbursement treatment.

For the 2 phase 3 trials of TAF, the treatment criteria of ALT were more than 2x of ULN and did not included liver biopsy as a pre-treatment assessment. In this study, CHB patient with ALT level of 1-2x ULN and significant liver injury evaluated by liver biopsy is the target study population.
