Summary

This is a single-center, prospective, exploratory clinical study. The study plans to enroll 30 chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients which achieved HBsAg clearance based peginterferon α-2b treatment. Eligible subjects will receive either 12-24 weeks interferon consolidation therapy (180μg administered subcutaneously in the abdomen or thigh once weekly) or not according to physician's recommendation and patient's preference, with regular follow-up for HBV recurrence. Patients will be followed up every 12 weeks. The study will evaluate changes in intrahepatic covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) and peripheral blood HBV pregenomic RNA (pgRNA) levels after achieving HBsAg clearance.
