Overview

The main objective of this study is to compare the mother-to-infant transmission rates of hepatitis B between pregnant women receiving treatment with tenofovir alafenamide and those receiving treatment with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, after administering the hepatitis B vaccine and hepatitis B immunoglobulin to their infants at birth. Investigators define the mother-to-infant transmission rate of hepatitis B as the proportion of infants who are HBsAg positive and have serum HBV DNA >20 IU/mL at 28 weeks of age among all live births in the experimental group.

Additionally, this study will also compare the incidence of congenital defects/malformations in infants born to mothers treated with tenofovir alafenamide and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate during the perinatal period to assess drug safety.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Pregnant women aged between 20 and 40 years old
  2. Pregnancy duration between 20 to 28 weeks (screening for eligible patients can start from the 20th week of gestation)
  3. Clinically diagnosed with compensated chronic hepatitis B, HBsAg positive for more than 6 months, with clinical history, signs, and test results consistent with compensated chronic hepatitis B
  4. HBsAg and HBeAg positive in maternal serum during screening
  5. PCR testing shows maternal serum HBV DNA levels exceeding 200,000 IU/mL
  6. Subjects voluntarily agree to undergo treatment according to the study design's drug treatment plan and all other research requirements, and patients consent to strictly avoid pregnancy within 28 weeks postpartum
  7. Patients and their husbands (the biological parents of the child) understand the risks and voluntarily participate in the study. The mother must participate voluntarily and sign a written informed consent document before participating in the study.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Creatinine clearance < 100 mL/min (calculated using the Cockcroft-Gault method based on serum creatinine and ideal body weight), or hypophosphatemia (below normal range).
  2. History of adverse renal reactions induced by Adefovir or history of Adefovir resistance.
  3. Meeting one of the following criteria: hemoglobin < 80 g/L, neutrophil count < 1000/μL, ALT > 5 times the upper limit of normal, total bilirubin > 20 mg/L, albumin < 25 g/L, abnormal levels of creatinine or urea nitrogen.
  4. Pregnant women with a history of miscarriage, history of giving birth to a child with congenital malformations, or history of fetal infection with hepatitis B virus.
  5. The biological father of the current pregnancy has chronic hepatitis B.
  6. The investigator assesses that the subject has significant kidney, cardiovascular, pulmonary, or neurological diseases that affect their participation in the study.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
