Overview

Entecavir + thymosin α1 is an investigational combination regimen being studied for the treatment of HBeAg-positive chronic hepatitis B. The regimen pairs entecavir, a nucleoside analogue antiviral that inhibits hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA polymerase (reverse transcriptase), with thymosin α1, a synthetic 28-amino acid peptide that acts as a biological immunomodulator. Entecavir works by suppressing HBV viral replication, while thymosin α1 enhances the host immune response by promoting T-cell maturation and activation. This combination approach is hypothesized to provide a more effective therapeutic outcome, including higher rates of HBeAg seroconversion and viral clearance, compared to entecavir monotherapy. The regimen has been primarily evaluated in investigator-initiated clinical trials, such as those led by the First Hospital of Jilin University.
