Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This is a retrospective prospective, open-label, multicenter clinical study aiming to recruit 400 individuals with a family history of liver cancer to explore the clinical cure rate and the effectiveness, feasibility, and safety of PEGylated interferon α-2b combined with nucleos(t)ide analogues in treating chronic HBV carriers with a family history of liver cancer for reducing the risk of liver cancer occurrence. Patients will enrolled into Group A (Peg-IFNα-2b combined with NA treatment group) or Group B (NA monotherapy group) based on their medication choices. Each group is expected to enroll 200 patients, with all patients followed up to 240 weeks. The dosage, frequency, and duration of treatment with Peg-IFN α-2b and NA will be prescribed by the researchers according to clinical practice and standard treatment protocols.
