Core Tip

Core Tip: This randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, controlled, multicenter trial showed that long-term treatment with entecavir (ETV) maleate provides safe, potent and reliable suppression of hepatitis B virus replication for 192 wk in Chinese chronic hepatitis B patients predominantly genotyped as B or C with little chance of developing ETV-resistant mutations.
