Brief summary

This cross-sectional multicenter study will evaluate the IL28B polymorphism in patients with HBeAg-negative chronic hepatitis B treated with Pegasys (peginterferon alfa-2a) in the predecessor ML18253 study. The study consists of a single visit where eligible patients will undergo a blood test for IL28B genotyping, with a phone follow-up 7 days after the visit.
