Brief Summary

The goal of this multicenter, observational, prospective study is to observe and compare different anti-viral treatment strategies in a real-world cohort of patients with CHB managed in routine clinical settings in China. The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. To evaluate the benefits of initiating first-line nucleos(t)ide analogue in patients with chronic HBV infection who are recommended in the updated Chinese Guideline 2022, but not recommended in the Chinese Guideline 2019.

2. To evaluate the Chinese Guideline recommends initiation of treatment, but at least one foreign authoritative guideline (eg. AASLD, EASL) does not recommend the benefit of initiating first-line nucleos(t)ide analogue in patients with chronic HBV infection who initiate treatment.

3. To compare the treatment effect of different alternatives with patients who have partial response after treatment with first-line nucleos(t)ide analogues.

Detailed Description

REASON is a multicenter, observational, prospective study to explore an optimal anti-viral treatment in a real-world cohort of patients with CHB managed in routine clinical settings in China. The study will enroll treatment-naïve or treatment-experienced patients ≥18 and ≤80 years of age with hepatitis B s antigen positive. The treatment-experienced patients must be treated with monotherapy ETV/TDF/TAF/TMF continuously for a minimum of 48 weeks before enrollment. The treatment of participants will be decided before the screening by doctors based on the situation and patient's intention. When eligible patients are included in this study, no extra intervention will be conducted and only clinical data are collected and observed. Participants will enter different observation groups when they meet the eligibility criteria of each group listed below: Group A:treatment-naive, and meeting the conditions that are recommended to initiate treatment in 2022 Chinese Guideline but not in 2019 Chinese Guideline; Group B:treatment-naive, meeting the conditions that are recommended to initiate treatment in both 2019 and 2022 Chinese guideline, but not in AASLD/EASL guidelines; Group C: treatment-experienced and with partial response. The primary efficacy endpoint was the proportion of patients with HBV DNA less than 20 IU/ml at 48 weeks, 96 weeks, and 144 weeks. Participants in all groups will be stratified by whether they initiate treatment in Group A and B, and by the treatment regimens in Group C. The primary safety outcome is the change from baseline in the Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate by the Cockcroft-Gault Formula (eGFR-CG) at 48 weeks, 96 weeks, and 144 weeks. The secondary outcomes including HBsAg loss, HBsAg seroconversion, HBeAg loss, HBeAg seroconversion, fibrosis regression and progression, and liver-related events, which will be measured at each follow-up visit. The follow-up time course of this study will be 3 years.
