About this trial
This is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, open-label controlled clinical trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a sequential treatment strategy incorporating a PD-1 antibody and pegylated interferon-α (Peg-IFNα) in patients with chronic hepatitis B receiving stable nucleos(t)ide analogue (NA) therapy.

2.Chronic hepatitis B patients with clear diagnosis of hematology, etiology and clinical (for example: HBsAg positive for more than 6 months);
3. Treatment with NAs(ETV, TDF or TAF)at least 1 years and continue NAs therapy during screening;
4.Patients with HBV DNA negative, HBeAg negative, HBsAg quantification ≤ 500IU/ml .
Disqualifiers
1. Cirrhosis;
2.platelet count < 90×10^9/L, WBC count < 3.0×10^9/L, ALT /AST> ULN (40U/L), total bilirubin > 2ULN;
3.History of or suspicion of hepatocellular carcinoma
4.Patients received interferon therapy within 6 months;

Treatments tested in this trial
Sintilimab
DrugSintilimab will be administered intravenously at a dose of 1.0 mg/kg at Weeks 0, 6, 12, and 18, for a total of four doses.
Pegylated Interferon-α 2b
DrugPeg-IFNα will be administered subcutaneously once weekly from Week 12 through Week 48. Dose: 135 μg or 180 μg, according to the study protocol. When sintilimab and Peg-IFNα are scheduled during the same treatment period, administration of the two drugs will be separated by at least 72 hours.
Nucleos(t)ide Analogues
DrugBackground nucleos(t)ide analogue therapy with entecavir, tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, or tenofovir alafenamide will be continued throughout the study.
Pegylated Interferon-α 2b
DrugPeg-IFNα will be administered subcutaneously once weekly from Week 0 through Week 48. Dose: 135 μg or 180 μg, according to the study protocol.
Nucleos(t)ide Analogues
DrugBackground nucleos(t)ide analogue therapy with entecavir, tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, or tenofovir alafenamide will be continued throughout the study.
