A multicenter, randomized controlled trial design was used to select patients with chronic hepatitis B in the immune control phase (i.e. HBsAg positive, HBeAg negative, normal ALT and HBsAg≤1000IU/ml, HBV DNA≤2000IU/ml) to enter this study, and to compare the feasibility, effectiveness and safety treated with Pegylated Interferon α2b Continuous therapy or Pulse therapy in immune-controlled chronic hepatitis B patients.
Patients:chronic hepatitis B in the immune control phase (i.e. HBsAg positive, HBeAg negative, normal ALT and HBsAg≤1000IU/ml, HBV DNA≤2000IU/ml). The study patients were divided into two groups.Group A (PEG IFN α- 2b continuous group): PEG IFN was injected subcutaneously once a week from the first day of baseline α- 2b 180 μg. The total course of treatment should not exceed 96 weeks.Group B (PEG IFN α- 2b pulse group): from the first day of baseline, PEG IFN was injected subcutaneously α- 2b 180 μg. Every 8 weeks of injection, stop for 4 weeks, and conduct it periodically.Two groups at baseline, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 12 weeks, 24 weeks, 36 weeks, 48 weeks, 60 weeks, 72weeks, 84 weeks, 96 weeks and the 12th and 24th weeks after drug withdrawal, and corresponding examinations were carried out at each follow-up.Check and record adverse events and concomitant medication in detail, and evaluate the compliance of subjects; Blood samples were retained and transported to the laboratory for HBV at baseline, 24 weeks, 48weeks, 72, 96, and 12 and 24 after drug withdrawal.DNA quantification and detection of hepatitis B virus markers.The efficacy and safety were evaluated after the study.

RECRUITINGExtent of HBsAg decrease at 48 weeks
Decreasing level and difference of HBsAg in different treatment groups after 48 week treatment
Time frame: 48 weeks
HBsAg clearance at the end of 96 weeks of treatment
To determine the response rate will be evaluated by HBsAg loss defined as HBsAg level lower than 0.05 IU/ml after 96 week treatment
Time frame: 96 weeks
The decreasing extent of HBsAg level at 96 weeks
Decreasing level and difference of HBsAg in different treatment groups after 96 week treatment
Time frame: 96 weeks
