Comparison of TAF and TDF in Preventing Mother-to-Child Transmission of HBV in Pregnancies With High Viral Loads
A Multicenter, Prospective, Open-label, Non-inferiority Randomized Controlled Study on the Efficacy of Tenofovir Alafenamide Fumarate vs. Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate in Preventing Mother-to-Child Transmission of Hepatitis B Virus in Pregnant Women With High Viral Loads

Conditions
Summary
The main objective of this study is to compare the mother-to-infant transmission rates of hepatitis B between pregnant women receiving treatment with tenofovir alafenamide and those receiving treatment with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, after administering the hepatitis B vaccine and hepatitis B immunoglobulin to their infants at birth. Investigators define the mother-to-infant transmission rate of hepatitis B as the proportion of infants who are HBsAg positive and have serum HBV DNA \>20 IU/mL at 28 weeks of age among all live births in the experimental group. Additionally, this study will also compare the incidence of congenital defects/malformations in infants born to mothers treated with tenofovir alafenamide and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate during the perinatal period to assess drug safety.

Interventions
Pregnant women will start TAF treatment (25 mg tablet taken orally once daily) from 28 weeks of gestation until delivery. After that, they will be randomly assigned to two subgroups among postpartum mothers without treatment indications: one subgroup will stop treatment, while the other subgroup will continue with an additional 12 weeks of TAF treatment. The mothers and their infants will be followed up at 28 weeks postpartum. Infants will receive the hepatitis B vaccine and HBIG within 12 hours after birth, as well as booster doses of the hepatitis B vaccine at 4 weeks and 24 weeks.
The mother will start receiving TDF treatment (300 mg tablet taken orally once daily) at 28 weeks of pregnancy until delivery. After that, mothers without treatment indications will be randomly assigned to two subgroups: one subgroup will stop treatment, while the other subgroup will receive an additional 12 weeks of TDF treatment. Infants will be vaccinated with the hepatitis B vaccine and HBIG within 12 hours after birth, as well as receive booster doses of the hepatitis B vaccine at 4 weeks and 24 weeks.
