About this trial
This clinical study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of switching to entecavir orally disintegrating tablets (ETV-ODT) in liver transplant recipients with chronic hepatitis B, with a particular focus on the impact of the conversion on renal function.
After providing written informed consent, participants will undergo screening assessments to determine eligibility based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Eligible participants who receive the investigational product will visit the study site at predetermined time points over a 48-week period to complete the scheduled study procedures.
