Hepatitis B prevention in blood cancer treatment
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests if a newer hepatitis B prevention drug (tenofovir alafenamide) works as well and is as safe as an older one (tenofovir disoproxil fumarate) for people with blood cancers who need protection from hepatitis B during treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 19 and 64 years old.
- You have a blood cancer and are about to get a stem cell transplant or cancer treatment with a drug called rituximab.
- You have had a past hepatitis B infection (HBcAb positive).
- You are not currently taking hepatitis B antivirals, and you don't have severe kidney disease (on dialysis or e-GFR below 15).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests tenofovir alafenamide (a hepatitis B antiviral medicine) to see if it can prevent liver disease from getting worse in people with chronic hepatitis B who currently have stable (normal) liver blood tests and low virus levels. It may help lower the chance of developing serious liver complications over time.
This trial studies how well nucleoside (nucleoside-acid) type antiviral medicines control hepatitis B in people whose liver enzyme test (ALT) is currently normal. It may help those with active hepatitis B but no major liver inflammation on recent bloodwork.
This study tests if switching your current hepatitis B antiviral to Tenofovir Alafenamide (TAF) keeps your new liver working well with fewer side effects. It is for people who had a liver transplant due to hepatitis B and have stable liver function for at least a year.
This study tests tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) to lower hepatitis B in pregnant people and reduce the chance of passing it to the baby. You may be able to join if you’re pregnant with active hepatitis B and meet safety lab and pregnancy ultrasound requirements.
This trial tests if taking tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) alone works as well as combining it with entecavir (ETV) to improve outcomes for people with hepatitis B and liver cancer who are receiving immunotherapy.
This study compares two approved hepatitis B medicines—tenofovir alafenamide and entecavir—to see which works best for people with chronic hepatitis B. It may help improve control of the virus and support better long-term liver health.
