A Non-interventional Registry for Patients with Hepatitis B Virus Infection

In order to tackle the unmet needs in chronic HBV infection, a consortium of clinical partners has gathered to establish a registry for patients with hepatitis B mono- and co-infections. The partners will build up a European-wide registry to be able to stratify patients for upcoming clinical trials.

Extensive analyses of virus and host-specific parameters are to be carried out from these patients. The knowledge gained thereby should contribute to a better understanding of the HBV control and enable patient stratification with regard to immunomodulatory therapies.

Furthermore, hepatitis B patients are to be identified who are willing to participate in future studies to investigate immunotherapies to cure HBV infections (e.g. therapeutic vaccines).
