Peginterferon alpha-2b plus adefovir induce strong cccDNA decline and HBsAg reduction in patients with chronic hepatitis B

TL;DR: Combined therapy with peg‐IFN and ADV led to marked decreases in serum HBV‐DNA and intrahepatic cccDNA, which was significantly correlated with reduced HBsAg, suggesting the involvement of cytolytic mechanisms.
