All participants were divided into two subgroups: the second trimester group who started TDF treatment at 24–27 weeks and the third trimester group who started TDF treatment at 28–30 weeks. The primary outcome was the change in serum HBV DNA level from baseline to delivery. Each parameter was tested every 4 weeks from TDF initiation to 3 months postpartum.Results: There were 80 pregnant women in the second trimester group and 49 pregnant women in the third trimester group. The decline in HBV DNA from baseline to delivery was more obvious in the second trimester group (4.8±1.2 log10 IU/mL) than that in the third trimester group (4.3±1.1 log10 IU/mL, p=0.041). The downward shift of haemoglobin (HB) from baseline to delivery was greater in the second trimester group (10.6±10.7 g/L) than in the third trimester group (6.3±12.3 g/L, p=0.041). The decline in HBV DNA from baseline to delivery was linearly related to the start of TDF treatment from the second trimester (β=0.50 and 95% CI: 0.26–0.75, p<0.001). There were no significant differences between the two groups regarding HBV serologic markers and safety indicators.Conclusion: Starting TDF treatment from the second trimester achieved better viral suppression than starting TDF treatment from the third trimester in highly viraemic pregnant women without increasing additional adverse reactions. HB level needed frequent monitoring during treatment to avoid anaemia.Registry number: Clinical Trial No. NCT02719808.Keywords: tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, efficacy, safety, second trimester, third trimester
