Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis B"

The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of GS-4774 in adults with CHB and who are currently not on treatment. Participants will be randomized to receive TDF alone or GS-4774 plus TDF for 20 weeks. After Week 20, GS-4774 will be discontinued. All participants will continue on TDF and will be followed for an additional 28 weeks. Following completion of the 48 week study period, all participants will be eligible for a treatment extension for 96 weeks.

The study is an open-label, randomized, comparative, multicenter clinical trial. The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of ABX203, a new chronic hepatitis B therapeutic vaccine administered as an adjunct therapy to nucleos(t)ide analogs (NUCs), in maintaining control of Hepatitis B disease after cessation of treatment with NUCs in subjects with HBeAg negative chronic Hepatitis B.

The goal of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) treatment is complete and permanent eradication of hepatitis B virus (HBV) from patient's body, which is best represented by serum HBsAg loss accompanied by undetectable serum HBV DNA level. While the most recently approved nucleos(t)ide analogues (NA) have marked antiviral potency and can induce HBV DNA undetectability in the majority of patients through prolonged treatment, NA need to be given long term, almost indefinitely, in most cases because they suppress HBV DNA only during therapy. For example, even after HBeAg-loss by a potent NA, suppression of serum HBV DNA to undetectable level is sustained only in about 23%-37% at 24 weeks off treatment. Thus, continuous therapy with NA until HBsAg clearance remains necessary in a majority of cases. The recent availability of commercial quantitative assays of serum hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) has enabled quantitative HBsAg to be used as a biomarker for prognosis and treatment response in CHB. It has been suggested that HBsAg decline during lamivudine or entecavir therapy is slower and less pronounced compared to interferon treatment, despite a higher effect on HBV DNA suppression. Based on HBsAg kinetics, it has been estimated that the predicted median time to HBsAg loss in patients treated with lamivudine or entecavir is more than 30 years. Thus, treatment that can induce rapid decline of HBsAg would have clear advantage in reducing the treatment duration required to achieve HBsAg-loss. Interestingly, in a recent preliminary study, 24-weeks of treatment with telbivudine has induced HBsAg decline as comparable to pegylated interferon treatment. Although there has been no head-to-head trial comparing NAs in inducing HBsAg decline, previous studies consistently suggested that the decline of HBsAg is greater during telbivudine treatment compared with lamivudine or entecavir. Thus, in this clinical trial, the investigators will investigate whether telbivudine is more effective in inducing HBsAg decline compared with entecavir in HBeAg-positive CHB patients who have achieved undetectable serum HBV DNA by preceding entecavir treatment.

At least 1 dose of pegIFNλ will be identified which is safe, well tolerated, and efficacious for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B virus infection (CHB) Amendment 7, Part B Sub Study: The primary purpose of this amendment is to obtain preliminary data on the safety of pegylated interferon Lambda (Lambda) when administered in combination with Entecavir(ETV) to patients with hepatitis E antigen-positive (HBeAg-positive) chronic hepatitis B(CHB) infection employing a sequential therapy approach

This is an expanded access programme to make Pegasys (peginterferon alfa-2a) available to patients with HBeAg-negative chronic hepatitis B in Morocco. Patients will receive Pegasys 180 mcg subcutaneously weekly for 48 weeks and efficacy and safety will be recorded during treatment and for 24 weeks of follow-up.

The primary objective of this study is to compare the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) versus tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) in treatment-naive and treatment-experienced adults with hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)-negative chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection.

This randomized, multicenter, partially double-blind, placebo-controlled study is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and antiviral effects of treatment with RO6864018 in virologically suppressed participants with chronic HBV infection.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of once-daily treatment with GSK548470 300 mg in Japanese patients with compensated chronic hepatitis B with poor response to other drugs.

This is a phase 1/2 study in which healthy adult subjects and subjects with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection will receive VIR-2218 or placebo and will be assessed for safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and antiviral activity (only in subjects with chronic HBV). In the single ascending dose (SAD) part, Part A, healthy adult subjects will receive one dose of VIR-2218 or placebo, administered subcutaneously (SC). In the multiple ascending dose (MAD) parts, Part B & Part C, subjects with chronic HBV infection will receive two doses of VIR-2218 or placebo every 4 weeks administered SC.

This study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of PEGASYS in participants with HBeAg-negative chronic HBV. The anticipated time on study treatment is 48 weeks, and the target sample size is 60 individuals.
