| Core Tip |
Despite promising results with the combination therapy of Peg-interferon and Nucleos(t)ide analog (NA), the best combination therapeutic strategy of Peg-interferonand NA to the treatment of chronic hepatitis B remains unclear. This prospective study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of add-on 48-wk of peginterferon α-2a to an ongoing NA regime in chronic hepatitis B patients with hepatitis B surface antigen levels ≤ 1500 IU/mL, hepatitis B e antigen-negative and hepatitis B virus-deoxyribonucleic acid < 1.0 × 102 IU/mL after over one year of NA therapy. |
