Results

A prospective study of TDF and P-IFN add-on therapy was conducted. Patients with chronic hepatitis B receiving TDF therapy were divided into two arms. P-IFN was added for 48 weeks in the add-on arm (n = 32), while TDF monotherapy was maintained in the control arm (n = 51). At 96 weeks after baseline, 41% of patients in the add-on arm had shown a rapid decrease in HBsAg, versus 2% in the control arm (P < 0.001).
