Summary:Background & Aims To evaluate the efficacy of tenofovir in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients with adefovir resistance (ADF‐R) and suboptimal response to adefovir (ADF‐S). Methods Nucleos(t)ide analogue (NA)‐naïve patients and patients with previous adefovir failure receiving tenofovir therapy for at least 6 months were included in the study. Biochemical and virological tests were obtained at baseline and 3‐month intervals in the first year and every 6 months thereafter. The primary outcome measure was complete virological response (CVR) (HBVDNA
