Background and study aims
HBV infection is particularly important in the Asian-Pacific region and China. Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) was approved for the treatment of Chronic Hepatitis B (CHB) in the U.S. in 2008 and in China in 2013 based on Phase III clinical trials results. Since launching in China in 2014, the treatment experience of TDF is limited due to poor access. One important reason was the lack of real-world evidence on long-term effectiveness and safety of TDF among Chinese CHB patients to guide clinical practice. The generation of real-world evidence from this study will provide clinical guidance to Chinese healthcare care professional, address their concerns, and aid public health decision making on resource allocation. To assess the effectiveness among overall and sub-group Chinese CHB patients who receive TDF treatment in real-world.

Who can participate?
TDF-naïve patients with confirmed diagnosis of CHB who newly initiate (Viread) monotherapy or combination therapy for the treatment of CHB will be invited to participate in this study

What does the study involve?
The study is a non-interventional real-world study, and participants will be diagnosed, treated, and monitored as in real clinical practice according to their physicians’ judgement without additional interventions and procedures. Paticipants data will be collected from lab test reports or medical records via electronic approaches (Smartphone App) at the entry of the study and thereafter at 6-month intervals for 3 years. There are no mandatory visits during the study period, however, according to the CHB clinical practice and CHB management guideline, CHB patients on anti-viral treatment should be monitored for at least every 6 months.

What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
Not applicable for this non-interventional real-world study.

Where is the study run from?
The Second Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University (China)

When is the study starting and how long is it expected to run for?
October 2018 to December 2023
