Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Entecavir 1 mg is commonly used in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients with previous antiviral resistance. This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of switching to generic entecavir 1 mg (Baracle®, Dong-A Science Technology) in CHB patients taking brand name entecavir 1 mg (Baraclude®, Bristol-Myers Squibb) alone or in combination with other nucleos(t)ide analogues after the development of antiviral resistance.

The primary aim is virological response (\<20 IU/mL) at 12 months

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study is a prospective single-arm open-label trial. The primary endpoint is virological response (\<20 IU/mL) at 12 months after switching treatment.

Patients who satisfy the inclusion and exclusion criteria will switch from Baraclude® 1 mg to Baracle®. Assessment of treatment response at 12 months is performed by comparing undetectable HBV DNA rates between baseline and 12 months after switching therapy.
