Brief summary

There has been no report on whether the patients with colorectal cancer who are also inactive Hepatitis B Carriers should receive Prophylactic Use or preemptive Use of an Anti-viral Drug Entecavir. This open, randomized controlled clinical trial aims to compare the impact of the prophylactic use or preemptive use of an anti-viral drug Entecavir on the outcomes of patients with colorectal cancer who are also inactive hepatitis B carriers during chemotherapy and the subsequent follow-ups.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Incidence of hepatitis B virus associated hepatitisthrough study completion, an average of 1 yearHepatitis is defined as a 3-fold or greater increase in the serum ALT level that exceeded the reference range (\>58U/L) or an absolute increase in the level of ALT of greater than 100 U/L compared with the baseline level

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Incidence of hepatitis B virus reactivationthrough study completion, an average of 1 yearReactivation of HBV is defined as a 10-fold or greater increase in the HBV DNA level or an absolute increase of 10\^5 copies/mL or greater compared with the baseline value.
Interruption of chemotherapy due to hepatitisthrough study completion, an average of 1 yearChemotherapy disruption is defined as either premature termination or a delay of at least 7 days between chemotherapy cycles.
