Getting to HBV cure: The promising paths forward

Scott Fung, Hannah S. J. Choi, Adam Gehring, Harry L. A. Janssen – 5 January 2022 – Chronic HBV infection is a global public health burden estimated to impact nearly 300 million persons worldwide. Despite the advent of potent antiviral agents that effectively suppress viral replication, HBV cure remains difficult to achieve because of the persistence of covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA), HBV‐DNA integration into the host genome, and impaired immune response. Indefinite treatment is necessary for most patients to maintain level of viral suppression.
