In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This is a prospective, randomized, open-label clinical trial designed to compare the antiviral efficacy and safety of entecavir 0.5 mg once daily versus entecavir 1.0 mg once daily in adult patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related decompensated liver cirrhosis. A total of 48 participants will be randomized equally to the two treatment groups and followed for 24 weeks. The primary outcome is the reduction in serum HBV DNA at week 24. Secondary outcomes include changes in Child-Pugh and MELD scores, HBeAg seroconversion, development or worsening of hepatic decompensation, occurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma, and safety of treatment.
