Stopping long-term hepatitis B medicine vs continuing
Part of Digestive system, Infections clinical trials.
This study compares outcomes for people with chronic hepatitis B who have long-term, stable viral suppression: stopping their antiviral medicine versus continuing it. It may help answer whether it’s safe to stop treatment in the right patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial studies what happens after stopping long-term hepatitis B antiviral medicine in people whose virus has stayed controlled. It also follows patients over time to see how well they remain stable and safe after stopping.
This study looks at long-term outcomes in people with chronic hepatitis B who take antiviral medicines or receive interferon. It may help doctors understand which treatments work best over time and who is most likely to benefit.
This trial is for people with chronic hepatitis B who have already cleared the virus with interferon treatment. It tests ongoing strategies to help maintain their health and prevent the virus from coming back.
This study looks at how well antiviral medicines work in children with chronic hepatitis B. It may help doctors find better ways to treat children who are starting treatment or who have been on treatment for a while.
This study follows participants with chronic hepatitis B who previously responded to the drug AHB-137. The goal is to track long-term health and safety after their treatment.
This trial is for people who have already completed a previous study of the drug GST-HG141 (Nairevir) and are now continuing with the same drug plus a nucleoside analog (a standard antiviral). It aims to see how safe and effective this combination is over a longer period.
