Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages Any age
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients who demonstrate HBeAg seroconversion or durable HBeAg loss in one of the previous Gilead-sponsored studies listed in Section 4.2 of this protocol and meet all inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria for this study will be eligible for enrollment.

Who may be able to join

  • Must have met all inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria and must have demonstrated HBeAg seroconversion or durable HBeAg loss as defined by the protocol in one of the following Gilead-sponsored studies: GS-96-412, GS-98-437, GS-00-461 or ongoing or future Gilead-sponsored studies identified by the Sponsor to be eligible for this study. Other patients who were enrolled in a now closed Gilead-sponsored study of ADV (GS-94-404, GS-96-412 Initial Phase or GS-96-413) and had previously demonstrated seroconversion or durable HBeAg loss during their participation will be evaluated by the clinical research organization (CRO) medical monitor for participation in this study on a case by case basis.
  • Have documented negative serum HBeAg with or without positive anti-HBe present at the two study visits prior to the final visit of the previous study.
  • A patient who has documented negative serum HBeAg without positive anti-HBe must also have undetectable serum HBV DNA (less than 1000 copies/mL using Roche Amplicor PCR Assay) and normalized ALT (less than ULN) confirmed during these two studies.
  • All patients must be able to give written informed consent and comply with requirements of this study.

Who cannot join

  • Patients who seroconvert or experience durable HBeAg loss during their participation in study GS-00-480 will not be eligible.
  • Any serious or active medical or psychiatric illness that, in the opinion of the investigator would interfere with patient treatment, assessment or compliance with the protocol.
  • Receiving any of the excluded medications listed in the protocol.
  • Inability to comply with study requirements.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hepatitis B, run by Gilead Sciences.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Jan 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Durability of HBeAg seroconversion in patients with chronic hepatitis B virus infection (HBV) who have seroconverted while participating in a previous Gilead-sponsored study of adefovir dipivoxil. (time frame: Baseline to Week 144). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 7 Jan 2014.
