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.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

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

    Drug

    Sintilimab 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

    Drug

    Peg-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

    Drug

    Background nucleos(t)ide analogue therapy with entecavir, tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, or tenofovir alafenamide will be continued throughout the study.

  • Pegylated Interferon-α 2b

    Drug

    Peg-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

    Drug

    Background nucleos(t)ide analogue therapy with entecavir, tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, or tenofovir alafenamide will be continued throughout the study.
