This study is a multi-center, randomized, prospective, open-label Phase IV Clinical trial to evaluate efficacy and safety of interferon alfa-2b therapy combinated with interleukin 2 and hepatitis B therapeutic vaccine versus interferon alfa-2b alone in chronic hepatitis B patients with entecavir achieving HBeAg seroclearance. Patients were randomized to one of 3 groups to receive different antiviral treatment.
Patients who have been pretreated with entecavir for at least one year, with HBV (Hepatitis B Virus) DNA less than 1000 copies/ml and HBeAg seroclearance were randomized to one of 3 groups, to receive Entecavir 0.5 mg po daily for 72 weeks, or Interferon alfa-2b 600wIU qod iH for 48 weeks plus Entecavir 0.5mg qd po for 8 weeks, or Interferon alfa-2b 600wIU qod iH for 48 weeks plus Entecavir 0.5mg qd po for 8 weeks plus interleukin 2 25 wIU qod iH for 12 weeks plus Hepatitis B Vaccine 60ug qm im for 48 weeks.
