HKU launches clinical trial in Hong Kong to treat chronic hepatitis B patients



Existing medication only suppresses virus and has to be taken for decades, researcher says

Professor Yuen Man-fung, chief of the division of gastroenterology and hepatology at HKU’s medical faculty, said on Thursday that existing medication for hepatitis B patients could only suppress the virus and had to be taken for decades.

He expected that the new treatment could enable patients to discontinue long-term medication.
