Randomized Controlled Trial
Peginterferon alfa-2b as monotherapy or in combination with lamivudine in patients with HBeAg-negative chronic hepatitis B: a randomised study.
The efficacy of pegylated interferon alfa-2b alone or in combination with lamivudine for the treatment of patients with hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) negative (-) chronic hepatitis B (CHB) is understudied. ⋯ These data support the use of pegylated interferon alfa-2b in patients with HBeAg(-) chronic hepatitis B; however, the concomitant use of lamivudine produced no additional clinical benefit.
