Trial summary

Serum HBV DNA is a referent but insufficient marker of therapeutic follow-up in chronic hepatitis B treatment. Intra hepatic cccDNA disappearance reflects HBV eradication in the liver. Intra lymphocyte cccDNA could be a new marker of HBV eradication after treatment. Read more about this study

About this study

Serum HBV DNA is a referent but insufficient marker of therapeutic follow-up in chronic hepatitis B treatment. Intra hepatic cccDNA disappearance reflects HBV eradication in the liver.

Intra lymphocyte cccDNA could be a new marker of HBV eradication after treatment.

The major interest of this marker is that it can be measured by a simple blood test instead of a liver biopsy.

Read the detailed description
  • Studying intra lymphocyte and blood cccDNA: before inclusions, D0 then each month during the first three months each three months during treatment and follow-up.
  • Viral kinetics:Before inclusions, at D0, then monthly till the end of treatment and follow-up: Evolution of quantitative viraemia in serum Evolution of quantitative viraemia in circulating lymphocytes Evolution of quantitative viraemia in total blood
  • Studying viral genotypes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic Hepatitis B, run by University Hospital, Limoges at 4 sites in France.

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 5 inclusion and 1 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 17 Apr 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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?

Kinetic cccDNA (time frame: 6 months). 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 17 Apr 2013.
