Webinar Series: HBV Future Therapies and Clinical Trials - What They Mean for the Hepatitis B Community
Please join Hep B United and the Hepatitis B Foundation for a 2-part webinar series to learn from leading experts about drugs in development and strategies to motivate individuals with hepatitis B and their providers to participate in clinical trials.

Did You Know?
There are currently over 30 hepatitis B (HBV) drugs in development!

With the momentum growing around HBV drug discovery, community groups need updated information on these promising new therapies:
  • What are the targets for these new drugs?
  • Who should be treated?
  • What's a functional versus a complete cure?
But Remember...
Before these therapies can become available to the public, they must first be tested in clinical trials.
  • What's preventing individuals with HBV from participating in clinical trials?
  • Where can healthcare providers find clinical trials appropriate for their patients with HBV?
  • What key messages about new therapies and clinical trials should community partners include in their outreach programs?
