Details and patient eligibility

About

This is a multicenter, single-arm, open-label, phase IIIb extension clinical trial designed to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of GST-HG141 (nerlecovir, 50 mg BID) in combination with nucleos(t)ide analogues (NAs) in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) who completed 48 weeks of treatment in the phase III study (GST-HG141-III-01), did not discontinue prematurely, had an overall medication compliance rate of ≥80%, and were willing to continue treatment.

A maximum of 578 eligible participants will be enrolled at 64 centers, including those who completed the preceding study, had ALT ≤5× upper limit of normal (ULN), and had no severe comorbidities (e.g., decompensated cirrhosis, other viral infections, or malignant tumors)
