Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis B, Chronic"

Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) affects 257million individuals worldwide. In 2017, it caused around 39.7 million cases of cirrhosis and 0.4 million cirrhosis-related deaths in 2017. However, there is no specific treatment for liver fibrosis/cirrhosis. Although nucleos(t)ide analogues (NAs) profoundly suppress viral replication, fibrosis/cirrhosis progression can still occur in NA-treated patients. Sodium-glucose cotransporter type-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are antidiabetic drugs that may prevent fibrosis/cirrhosis progression by reducing hepatic steatosis/inflammation, dampening renin-angiotensin aldosterone system (RAAS) activation, and reducing fluid retention, effects of which are independent of glycemic control. Clinical studies in diabetic patients show SGLT2 inhibitors reduce hepatis steatosis/inflammation, regress ascites (a cirrhotic complication), and improve liver function parameters and survival prognosis in terms of model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score. There are currently no randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on role of SGLT2 inhibitors in preventing fibrosis/cirrhosis progression in CHB patients. Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) and transient elastography (TE) are non-invasive techniques for liver stiffness measurement (LSM), although MRE is more accurate than TE. The investigators propose a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial to compare effect of empagliflozin (an SGLT2 inhibitor) with placebo (1:1 ratio) in preventing fibrosis progression in both diabetic and non-diabetic NA-treated CHB patients with significant/advanced fibrosis or compensated cirrhosis. 108 patients will be randomly sampled from our pre-existing TE database. Empagliflozin 10mg daily will be given to treatment arm. Placebo pills will be manufactured identical in appearance to empagliflozin. Subjects will receive active or placebo pills for three years, and undergo clinical, anthropometric and laboratory assessments (at baseline, weeks 8, 16, and every 4 months thereafter). They will undergo LSM by TE at baseline, end of first, second and third year, and by MRE at baseline and end of third year. Primary outcome is difference in change to liver stiffness (measured by MRE) from baseline between the two groups at the end of third year. The study results will determine whether SGLT2 inhibitors can prevent hepatic fibrosis/cirrhosis progression in NA-treated CHB patients.

The ANRS HB07 IP-cure-B study is a proof of concept Phase II clinical trial in HBeAg negative virally suppressed non-cirrhotic CHB patients. It will explore whether stopping NUC or stopping NUC after SLGN administration can increase the rate of HBsAg decline compared to standard of care CHB treatment.

To compare the efficacy and renal safety of tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) versus entecavir (ETV) in the chronic hepatitis B patients.

We will conduct a phase 4, multicenter, open-label trial at 7 academic centers in Taiwan. Chronic hepatitis B patients receiving oral antiviral therapy (entecavir [ETV], tenofovir disoproxil fumarate [TDF]) for at least 2 years, and fulfil the following nucleos(t)ide analogs discontinuation criteria. After nucleos(t)ide analogs discontinuation, patients had a clinical relapse and retreatment regimen switches to TAF. The protocol will be approved by Institutional Review Board (IRB) or Research ethic committee (REC) of each site and will be conducted in accordance with the principles of Declaration of Helsinki and the International Conference on Harmonization for Good Clinical Practice. Each patient provides written informed consent before enrollment.

This study is a multicenter, open-label, phase II clinical study in subjects with chronic hepatitis B (CHB), to characterize the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic profile and preliminary anti-hepatitis B virus (HBV) efficacy of APG-1387 in combination with entecavir, and to determine the optimal dose of APG-1387 in combination with entecavir.

This is a phase three study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Pradefovir treatment in chronic hepatitis B patients. Subject will be randomized to Pradefovir group and TDF group at a ratio of 2:1. Treatment duration will be 96w in randomization and followed by 48w in open. The interim analysis will be conducted when all subject completed the first 48-week treatment.

This is an open-label study to determine the efficacy, safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of ChAdOx1-HBV and MVA-HBV, together VTP-300, in combination with low-dose nivolumab, in patients with chronic HBV who are virally suppressed with oral anti-viral therapies.

This Phase 1/2a multiple part study is a first time-in-human (FTIH) study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of single (Part 1) and repeat doses (Part 2) of GSK3965193 in healthy participants. Part 3 will evaluate the ability of GSK3965193 to lower hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg) in participants living with chronic hepatitis B infection (PLWCHB). Part 4 will evaluate the safety and tolerability of combination therapy with GSK3965193 and bepirovirsen and the potential to effect sustained virologic response in PLWCHB.

Enroll patients who are pre-treated with Entecavir at least 24 weeks and confirmed HBV antiviral (HBV DNA <69 IU/mL) effects. Subjects are given one test drug or comparator once a day for 48 weeks according to the results of random assignments, and their HBV antiviral inhibitory effect and safety are evaluated at 24 and 48 weeks visits.

This trial is a multi-center, open, single-dose, dose-increasing trial，to evaluate the safety and efficacy of STSG-0002 injection in patients with chronic hepatitis B treated with oral antiviral therapy.
