Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Eligible patients must meet all of the following criteria: 1. Pregnant women aged between 20 and 40 years. 2. Gestational age between 20 and 28 weeks (screening for potential candidates can start from the 20th week of pregnancy). 3. Clinically diagnosed with compensated stable chronic hepatitis B, with HBsAg persistently positive for more than 6 months, and clinical history, signs, and test results consistent with compensated chronic hepatitis B. 4. HBsAg and HBeAg positive in maternal serum at the time of screening. 5. PCR testing shows maternal serum HBV DNA levels exceeding 200,000 IU/mL. 6. Participants are willing and able to undergo treatment according to the study-designated drug regimen and all other study requirements, and patients agree to strictly use contraception within 28 weeks postpartum. 7. Patients and their husbands (the biological parents of the child) understand the risks and voluntarily participate in the study. The mother must participate voluntarily and sign a written informed consent document before participating in the study.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Patients will not be included in this study if they have any of the following conditions: 1. Creatinine clearance 5 times the upper limit of normal, total bilirubin > 20 mg/L, albumin < 25 g/L, abnormal levels of creatinine or urea nitrogen. 4. Pregnant women with a history of miscarriage, history of giving birth to a child with congenital malformations, or history of fetal infection with hepatitis B virus. 5. The biological father of the fetus has chronic hepatitis B. 6. The investigator assesses that the subject has significant kidney, cardiovascular, pulmonary, or neurological diseases that would affect their participation in the study.
