pradefovir treatment for the patients with chronic hepatitis b virus infections: a phase3 study

Conditions: Chronic Hepatitis b

Summary: this is a phase three study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of pradefovir treatment in chronic hepatitis b patients. subject will be randomized to pradefovir group and tdf group at a ratio of 2:1. treatment duration will be 96w in randomization and followed by 48w in open. the interim analysis will be conducted when all subject completed the first 48-week treatment.
