ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06047093
What this study is testing
What is Creation of a serum biobank?
Creation of a serum biobank is an investigational medicine, being studied as a potential treatment for chronic hepatitis b.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- Two hundred and ninety-six million people worldwide are chronically infected with the hepatitis B virus (HBV), with around 750,000 deaths each year linked to the development of cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma. Current treatments based on nucleoside analogues (NA) achieve virological cure in only 5% of cases at 10 years.
