HBV Treatment Decision-Making

Access Activity

Overview / Abstract:

Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a serious public health concern that is often underrated despite the approval of newer therapies and subsequent updated guidelines. Integrating guideline-directed treatment can reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with HBV.

In this second episode of the four-part CMEOCast Podcast to Practice series "Meeting Patients Where They Live: Community-Based Efforts to Improve Screening and Treatment of HBV," faculty experts will discuss the efficacy and safety profiles of current agents for HBV, guiding clinicians through best practices when initiating or switching treatment. In addition, while there is currently no cure for HBV, considering the promise for the future, faculty experts will define "functional cure" for HBV and its application to agents in development.

- Learning Objectives -

At the end of this CE activity, participants should be able to:
- Optimize efficacy and safety profiles of current agents when initiating or switching treatment in patients with HBV
- Define functional cure for HBV and how it applies to HBV agents in development.

The following learning objectives pertain only to those requesting CNE or CPE credit:
- Summarize how to optimize efficacy and safety profiles of current agents when initiating or switching treatment for patients with HBV
- Define functional cure for HBV and how it applies to HBV agents in development.
