Nucleoside Analogue Prevent Vertical Transmission of Hepatitis B Virus
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
To explore the antiviral effect of nucleoside analogue in late pregnancy and the safety of the antiviral drug to fetus.To establish the best therapy strategy to pregnant women with high level of HBV DNA.
Condition or Disease | Intervention/Treatment | Phase |
---|---|---|
Phase 4 |
Detailed Description
Telbivudine and Lamivudine,a preganancy category B medication,reduces HBV DNA and normalizes serum ALT in chronic hepatitis B patients with few adverse effects.Two aspects on the drug use in pregnancy will be evaluated prospectively in this study.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- The data on its tolerability and safety in HBeAg+ pregnant woman with HBV DNA>6log10 copies/Ml during late pregnancy and infants [perinatal to 28 weeks after infant delivery]
- Its efficacy in the reduction of HBV vertical transmission rate [perinatal to 28 weeks after infant delivery]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Maternal DNA reduction,ALT normalization, and loss/seroconversion of HBeAg or HBsAg [perinatal to 28 weeks of postpartum]
