Evaluation of The Safety, Efficacy and Pharmacokinetic Characteristics of GST-HG141 Tablets

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled and Multicenter Phase Ⅱ Clinical Trials To Evaluate the Safety, Efficacy and Pharmacokinetics of GST-HG141 Tablets in Treated Chronic Hepatitis B (CHB) Patients With Low Viremia.

Detailed Description
-----------------
This study was a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase II clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of different doses of GST-HG141 in treated CHB patients with low viremia. A total of 90 CHB patients with low viremia after hepatitis B antiviral therapy were enrolled in this study, and they were divided into three groups, 30 cases in each group. Screening of eligible subjects, according to the proportion were randomly assigned to: GST - HG141 low dose group, the GST - HG141 high dose group and the placebo group.
