Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis B, Chronic"

The main goal of therapy for patients with chronic HBV infection with no significant liver disease is to improve survival and quality of life by preventing disease progression, development of liver cirrhosis and consequently HCC development. The likelihood of achieving these goals depends on the timing of therapy during the natural course of the infection but also on the stage of the disease and the patients' age when treatment is started. The inhibition of viral replication and normalization of ALT by antiviral treatment has been shown to achieve the elimination of chronic HBV-induced necroinflammatory activity and progressive fibrotic liver progression in the vast majority of patients, in turn reducing the risk of HCC. Even in HBeAg positive patients, treatment-induced HBeAg loss and seroconversion to antiHBe characterizes the induction of a partial immune control often leading to a low replicative phase of the chronic HBV infection and good outcomes. Treatment in chronic HBV infection is indicated in - presence of advanced fibrosis/cirrhosis (LSM >11 KPA) or patients with significant fibrosis (LSM >8 or APRI >1.5 or >F2 on liver biopsy) with high viral load (>2000 IU/ml) or significantly elevated ALT (x2 ULN). Presence of any of these factors is known to increase the risk of development of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. TAF in non-cirrhotic patients (LSM <8 KPA) with normal ALT and low viral load (HBV DNA <2000 IU/ml) (currently treatment ineligible) as compared to delayed initiation (on demand) might reduce HCC risk, progression of liver fibrosis and reduction in HBsAg levels. As TAF is known to have favorable effects on the overall long-term outcome, the main clinical challenge is to identify the patients at risk of HCC and cirrhosis who warrant early antiviral therapy.

Subjects can be classified into two groups, Group 1 include non-cirrhotic patients, Group 2 include cirrhotic patients. All the patients will be received prophylactically TAF for 4 weeks before using SOF/VEL once daily for 12 weeks. In total, Group 1 patients will be discontinued TAF once daily therapy at the end of week 28 if no HBV reactivation occurs during treatment , Group 2 patients will be received TAF once daily for 64 weeks. In this study, after week 64, Group 2 patients will continue NUC treatment but pay by themselves. For those who is GT3 cirrhosis patients, RBV added simultaneously with SOF/VEL for 12 weeks. For patients weighing < 75 kg, the dose is 500 mg twice; for patients weighing ≥ 75 kg, the dose is 600 mg twice.

A Phase II Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Multi-center, Dose-effect Relationship Study of Hepalatide for Injection Combined with Pegylated Interferon in Subjects with Chronic Hepatitis B

There are nearly 2 million HBsAg-positive children who are in urgent need of professional diagnosis and treatment in China. Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) is the leading cause of childhood liver disease. After infected with HBV virus, some children will develop disease progression, and some even develop cirrhosis and/or liver cancer. In pediatric liver cancer cases, up to 34% ~ 95% are caused by HBV infection. Although two major classes of drugs have been approved for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B in adults, and there are multiple guidelines worldwide for the management of HBV infection in adults, there is lack of guidelines specifically for the management of children with HBV infection. In addition, the treatment of chronic hepatitis B in children faced great difficulties due to the lack of evidence-based medical evidence for antiviral treatment of chronic hepatitis B in children and fewer drugs approved for anti-HBV treatment in children. The timing of treatment, medications, and clinical management strategies are all controversial. This study ( Sprout project)，is a multicenter, prospective, cohort study in China, aiming to explore and optimize the antiviral treatment regimen for children with HBV infection, to provide evidence-based medical for antiviral treatment, and to provide basis evidence for the standardized management of children infection with HBV in China. The study is expected to enroll 1900 pediatric patients with HBV infection, and patient will received one of the three following treatment Strategies: nucleoside monotherapy, peginterferon α- combined with nucleoside therapy, or peginterferon α-pulse therapy combined with nucleoside therapy, according to their illness state and desire, and the safety and efficacy will be evaluated.

This is a multicenter, randomized, open, blank controlled trial ，in order to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Amibufenamide（TMF） in the treatment of chronic hepatitis B virus infection patients with normal ALT at week 48.

This study consists of Part A and Part B. Part A is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study to assess the safety, efficacy, PK and immunogenicity of RBD1016 injection combined with NAs in CHB participants. Part B is a multi-center, open clinical study to assess the safety, efficacy, PK and immunogenicity of RBD1016 injection combined with PegIFN-α and NAs in CHB participants.

The study aims to assess safety and tolerability of oral toll-like receptor (TLR) 8 agonist Selgantolimod (SLGN) administered for 24 weeks in participants with both CHB and HIV who have been receiving suppressive antiviral therapy for both viruses for ≥5 years and have qHBsAg level >1000 (3 log10) IU/mL at screening. The study will also evaluate if TLR8 stimulation with SLGN will reduce hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) titers in the blood.

This study is intended to confirm the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetic (PK) profile, and the durability of hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg) suppression observed with bepirovirsen for 24 weeks (with loading doses) as compared to the placebo arm. This study will have 4 stages: a) Double-blind treatment (bepirovirsen or placebo) for 24 weeks. b) Nucleos(t)ide analogue (NA) treatment for 24 weeks. c) NA cessation stage OR Continue NA for 24 weeks. d) Durability of response and follow up for further 24 weeks for participants who stopped NA treatment at Week 48. The arms will be stratified based on HBsAg level (HBsAg greater than or equal to [≥] 100 international unit per milliliter [IU/mL] to less than or equal [≤]1000 IU/mL or greater than [>] 1000 IU/mL to ≤3000 IU/mL) at screening. The total duration of the study, including screening (up to 60 days), the double-blind treatment stage (24 weeks), the On NA only stage (24 weeks), and the NA cessation and durability stages (48 weeks) is up to approximately 104 weeks at maximum for each participant.

Nucleot(s)ide is an antiviral drug that can reduce the number of viruses, reduce the risk of HCC, regress hepatic fibrosis and reduce death from Hepatitis B viral infection. Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) is one of nucleotide analogue that is recommended to treated patients with Hepatitis B viral infection. However, long-term TDF therapy may have side effects especially nephrotoxicity and bone toxicity. Previous studies in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected patients who treated with TDF containing regimen antiretroviral therapy, in vitamin D supplement group had a statistic significance of low parathyroid hormone level and better in bone mineral density regardless of initial vitamin D level. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to evaluate the vitamin D and calcium supplement to patients with hepatitis B who have taken TDF, in parathyroid hormone level, bone mineral density, renal function and renal phosphate loss compared to patients who have no vitamin D and calcium supplement.

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel group, 48-week follow-up, Phase IIa clinical study. This study has been designed to evaluate the change in HBsAg (log10 IU/mL) after administration of hzVSF-v13 50 mg/dose and hzVSF-v13 200 mg/dose in combination with an oral antiviral agent (Tenofovir or entecavir, including salt-free or salt-modifying drugs) compared to an oral antiviral agent in combination with a placebo (normal saline) in patients with chronic hepatitis B who are stably receiving an oral antiviral agent (Tenofovir or entecavir, including salt-free or salt-modifying drugs) for at least 24 weeks.
