About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Hepatitis B Virus focused on measuring TDF+FTC, FTC, HIV/HBV, TDF compared to TDF+FTC in HIV/HBV, Treatment Naive

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - 60 Years (Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Written informed consent
  • Documented HIV infection (positive serology for HIV-1 and detectable HIV-1 RNA)
  • Age 18 - 70 years
  • HBV DNA > 106 copies/ml
  • HBsAg positive for > 6 months

In case documented duration of HBsAg seropositive is less than 6 months (this situation is most likely to occur in patients newly presenting to the HIV-outpatient clinic) the patient is eligible if the patient is:

  1. HBsAg positive and
  2. HBc core IgM antibody negative and
  3. the liver biopsy gives evidence for a chronic active hepatitis. Thus making it likely that this patient has acquired the HBV infection more than 6 months ago.

    • ALT < 10 x ULN
    • Creatinine <= 2.0mg/dl
    • Platelet count >= 50,000/mm3
    • HIV-1 therapy naive
    • No prior exposure to anti-HBV agents (LAM, adefovir, TDF) although prior IFN treatment allowed

Exclusion Criteria:

  • HCV-RNA positive or Anti-HAV IgM positive
  • Acute hepatitis (serum ALT > 1000 U/L)
  • Prior LAM, TDF, or ADV therapy
  • Active opportunistic infection
  • Other causes of chronic liver disease identified ( autoimmune hepatitis, haemochromatosis, Wilsons disease, alfa-1-antitrypsin deficiency)
  • Concurrent malignancy requiring cytotoxic chemotherapy
  • Decompensated or Child's C cirrhosis
  • Alfa-fetoprotein (AFP) > 3X ULN (unless negative CT scan or MRI within 3 months of entry date)
  • Pregnancy or lactation
  • Any other condition which in the opinion of the investigator might interfere with compliance or outcome of the study

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Combination therapy with anti-HBV activity may both increase HBV suppression rates and reduce emergence of resistant strains. Several new therapeutic agents are currently in development, however combination therapy trials in the HBV-infected population have only recently commenced. No such trials have been undertaken in the HIV/HBV co-infected population.
Detailed Description
The primary study objective is to compare HBV DNA suppression to levels below the limit of detection (<400 copies/ml) by week 48 in each treatment group. Virological and clinical anti-HBV efficacy of tenofovir and emtricitabine in antiretroviral naive patients with HIV/HBV co-infection.
