Entecavir Versus Lamivudine for Preventing the Risk of Hepatitis B Reactivation in NHL

July 31, 2013 updated by: Ye Guo, Fudan University

Entecavir Versus Lamivudine for Preventing the Risk of Hepatitis B Virus Reactivation in Patients With Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma on CHOP/R-CHOP: a Randomized Phase II Study

The aim of this study is to prove the superiority of entecavir over lamivudine for preventing the risk of hepatitis B virus reactivation in patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma on CHOP/R-CHOP.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

In china, previous studies showed patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) are likely to have hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. The risk of HBV reactivation is high when patients were treated with CHOP, especially in combination with rituximab. The aim of this study is to compare entecavir with lamivudine, 2 commonly used anti-virus agents, for preventing the risk of HBV reactivation in patients with NHL on CHOP/R-CHOP.
