Tenofovir Alafenamide Fumarate Reduces Virological Replication in HBeAg-Negative Patients With Normal Alanine Aminotransferase: A 48-Week Randomised Controlled Trial. [PDF]
ABSTRACT The optimal strategy for chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infected patients with negative hepatitis B e‐antigen (HBeAg) and normal alanine aminotransferase (ALT) remains uncertain. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of tenofovir alafenamide fumarate (TAF) treatment in this patient population.
