Efficacy and Tolerance of Peg-interferon Alpha 2a Added to Tenofovir and Emtricitabine in AgHBe Positive HBV-HIV Co-infected Patients

NCT00391638

Non-randomizedSingle-groupOpen-labelTreatment

Summary

HBe seroconversion is an important goal for anti-HBV treatment, since it is associated with a non progressive liver infection and a better clinical outcome. However, the rate of HBe seroconversion is low in HIV-HBV co-infected patients, mostly treated by tenofovir and emtricitabine. This study will evaluate the efficacy and the safety of a one-year Peg-interferon alpha 2a additional treatment in patients already treated by tenofovir and emtricitabine without reaching HBe seroconversion.
