Summary

This prospective, multicenter, observational study will evaluate on-treatment predictors of response in patients with HBeAg positive or HBeAg negative chronic hepatitis B receiving treatment with peginterferon alfa-2a (PEGASYS®) in accordance with local labeling and the summary of product characteristics. Data will be collected from patients for the duration of their treatment and for up to 24 weeks thereafter.
