Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis B"

The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and pharmacokinetics of CKD-390(Tenofovir Disoproxil Aspartate) and Viread® tablet(Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate) in healthy male volunteers.

This is a study of the efficacy and safety of peginterferon alfa-2a (Pegasys) in naive, interferon- or lamivudine-pretreated participants with HBeAg-positive chronic HBV. Following 48 weeks treatment, there will be a 24 week period of treatment-free follow-up. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.

The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of switching to tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) versus continuing tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) in virologically suppressed adults with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection.

This sponsor-open, investigator- and participant-blinded, multi-center study will assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of RO7020531 in healthy participants and in participants with chronic hepatitis B. Part I will be conducted in two portions: Single Ascending Dose (SAD) and Multiple Ascending Dose (MAD) which will include only healthy volunteers. Part II will commence after completion of the MAD portion of Part I and will include only Chronic Hepatitis B (CHB) participants.

To examine the safety and tolerability of IONIS-HBVRx administration to treatment-naive patients with chronic hepatitis B virus infection

The goals of therapy against chronic hepatitis B are to decrease the morbidity and mortality related to chronic HBV infection. Currently available antiviral therapy can suppress viral replication but only a small proportion attain functional cure, which is defined as HBV surface antigen-to-antibody seroconversion. Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) is a marker of persistent hepatitis B infection. It has been observed that patients who had both hepatitis B and hepatitis C, and who were treated for their hepatitis C with 12 weeks of ledipasvir/sofosbuvir for had a decline in HBsAg levels. This study hypothesizes that a similar decrease would be seen in mono-infected hepatitis B subjects over the course of 12 weeks treatment with ledipasvir/sofosbuvir.

Treatment of CHB patients with genotypic resistance to NUCs has been problematic due to the lack of data from randomized trials. Recently, two randomized trials comparing the efficacy of TDF monotherapy versus TDF and ETV combination therapy in CHB patients with documented genotypic resistance to adefovir (ADV) or ETV demonstrated TDF monotherapy was not statistically different in viral suppression at week 48 of treatment.1,2 The extension study based on the above two trials merged study subjects from these trials with changing from TDF and ETV combination group to TDF monotherapy to evaluate long-term efficacy and safety of TDF monotherapy for multidrug-resistant patients. At the time of merging of 192 subjects, by intention-to-treat analysis, 66.3% of TDF group and 68.0% of TDF-ETV group had virological response as determined by serum HBV DNA <15 IU/mL. (in press) Three year long-term follow up study showed that the proportion of virologic suppression increased to 76.8% and 72.2% in TDF-TDF and TDF/TDF-ETV groups, respectively( P=0.46). (in press) TAF, a novel prodrug of tenofovir was developed to have greater stability in plasma than TDF, thereby enabling more efficient delivery of the active metabolite to target cells at a substantially lower dose. The reduced systemic exposure of tenofovir offers the potential for an improved safety profile compared to TDF a benefit that demonstrated in a recent clinical trial in patients with HIV infection. In a recent double-blind randomized phase 3 noninferiority trial with 873 treatment naive patients who were positive for HBeAg, the proportion of patients receiving TAF who had HBV DNA <29 IU/mL at week 48 was 64%, which was non-inferior to the rate of 67% in patients receiving TDF (P=0.25).3 In the safety profile, TAF group had significantly smaller decrease in BMD than TDF group in the hip and spine, as well as significantly smaller increases in serum creatinine at week 48.3 For treatment naive HBeAg negative patients, a recent study with 425 subjects applied the same methodology and showed noninferiority in efficacy of TAF compared to TDF at week 48.4 Considering noninferiority in efficacy and superior bone and renal safety from TAF, TAF might be considered preferred choice of NUC instead of TDF. However, it is still unknown whether TAF would show similar efficacy and safety profile in patients with multidrug-resistant CHB.

The REP 201 protocol is a small exploratory study assessing the antiviral effects and tolerability of REP 2139-Ca when used with a full course of pegylated interferon (48 weeks) in treatment naive patients or in patients already receiving entecavir and continuing entecavir with treatment.

Conduct in Chinese healthy adult subjects:1.To observe the safety and tolerability of multiple-dose oral administration of different doses of PNA;2.By measuring the changing drug concentration in the plasma and urine after a single oral administration of different doses of PNA on the condition of fasting, the pharmacokinetic parameters of the single dose are estimated;3.By measuring the changing drug concentration in the plasma of PNA after a multiple-dose oral administration on the condition of fasting, the pharmacokinetic parameters of multiple-dose are estimated, and a basis for dosage regimens of the clinical research phase Ⅱ is provided;4.To study the effects of diet on the pharmacokinetic parameters via the changes of concentration of PNA in plasma after high-fat and high-calorie food.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability and virologic response of tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) in virologically suppressed chronic hepatitis B participants with renal and/or hepatic impairment.
