- Clinical effect analysis of nucleoside analogs (NAs) group a group and NAs plus interferon group after 48 weeks of treatment;
- Repetitive effect and time effect of different drug treatment at different follow-up time points;
- To evaluate the difference of therapeutic effect of NAs or NAs combined with interferon;
- Follow up and compare the incidence of early liver cancer in each group. Participants will be asked to receive NAs or NAs combined with interferon treatments, and Regular blood sampling and color ultrasound examination.
Researchers will compare control group to see if occurrence of liver cancer.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact yanfang wu (15980017053, wu.yanfang@zsxmhospital.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Incidence of early liver cancer (time frame: 1-3 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 10 Feb 2023.
