Lamivudine Plus Adefovir Versus Telbivudine Plus Adefovir in Lamivudine Resistant Chronic Hepatitis B

Summary

No study has reported on the comparative effect of continuing lamivudine plus adefovir versus switching to telbivudine plus adefovir in HBeAg-positive lamivudine-refractory chronic hepatitis B patients who have suboptimal response to lamivudine plus adefovir. The goal of this study is to compare the efficacy of continuing lamivudine plus adefovir versus switching to telbivudine plus adefovir directly in patients with lamivudine-refractory chronic hepatitis B patients who have suboptimal response to lamivudine plus adefovir for at least 12 months.
