| Main Objective: ? Val la capacita' di un trattamento prolungato con TDF (300 mg/die) +/- LAM (100 mg/die) di indurre la soppressione ottimale della replicazione di HBV (livelli HBV-DNA < 400 copie/ml) e controllo della malattia epatica (livelli ALT normali) nell'epatite cronica B HBeAg positiva e anti-HBe positiva con risposta sub-ottimale alla terapia ADV o ADV/LAM. ? Valutare la durabilita' della soppressione completa della replicazione HBV (livelli HBV-DNA < 400 copie/ml) e del controllo della malattia epatica (livelli ALT normali) indotti da TDF (300 mg/giorno) +/- LAM (100 mg/giorno) nell'epatite cronica B HBeAg positiva e anti-HBe positiva con risposta sub-ottimale alla terapia ADV o ADV/LAM. ? Valutare la capacita' di un trattamento prolungato con TDF (300 mg/giorno) +/- LAM (100 mg/giorno) di indurre perdita dell'HBeAg, siero-conversione anti-HBe e controllo della malattia epatica (livelli ALT normali) nell'epatite cronica B HBeAg positiva con risposta sub-ottimale alla terapia ADV o AD;Secondary Objective: ? To evaluate the capability of a prolonged treatment with TFD (300 mg/die) +/- LAM (100 mg/die) to induce optimal suppression of HBV replication (HBV-DNA levels < 400 copies/ml) and control of liver disease (normal ALT levels) in HBeAg +ve and anti-HBe +ve CHB with suboptimal response to ADV or ADV/LAM therapy ? To evaluate the durabity of the optimal suppression of HBV replication (HBV-DNA levels < 400 copies/ml) and control of liver disease (normal ALT levels) induced by TDF (300 mg/die) +/- LAM (100 mg/die) in HBeAg +ve and anti-HBe +ve CHB with suboptimal response to ADV or ADV/LAM therapy ? To evaluate the capability of a prolonged treatment with TFD (300 mg/die) +/- LAM (100 mg/die) to induce HBeAg loss and seroconversion.and control of liver disease (normal ALT levels) in HBeAg +ve CHB with suboptimal response to ADV or ADV/LAM therapy ? To evaluate the durabity of HBeAg loss and seroconversion.and control of liver disease (normal ALT levels) in | — |
