Brief Summary

This is a prospective, multicenter, open-label, non-randomized controlled real-world study to explore the efficacy and safety and to accumulate more evidence-based medical data of an antiviral treatment programme for chronic viral hepatitis B with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

A total of 1500 patients with chronic hepatitis B complicated with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease are divided into test group (1000 patients receiving PEG-IFNα-based antiviral therapy (combined NAs or Peg-IFNα monotherapy) and control group(500 patients receiving NAs monotherapy) according to their treatment intention. Laboratory and medical data from specified follow-up points are collected, and adverse events and drug combinations are recorded detailly.

The primary efficacy indicator is HBsAg clearance at 48 weeks of treatment, and the secondary indicators included: (1) HBsAg clearance at 96 weeks of treatment, (2) Cumulative HBsAg clearance at week 24、120、144、168、192、216 and 240; (3) The improvement of liver function level(ALT, AST, TBIL, etc.), blood lipid (TC, TG, LDL-C, HDL-C, etc.), fasting blood glucose, insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR), controlled attenuation parameter, body mass index , liver stiffness measurement, liver histological fibrosis, FIB-4 index from baseline; (4)Incidence of liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma during follow-up.

The security assessment includes adverse events, vital signs, and imaging.
