What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Efficacy: Change from baseline in HBV DNA (log10)

  2. Safety: Laboratory tests, Adverse Events, Vital Signs, ECG

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Efficacy

  2. Proportion of patients with HBV DNA below the assay Limit of Detection (4,700 copies/mL by Digene Hybrid Capture II)

  3. Biochemical improvement (ALT normalization)

  4. Serology Proportion of patients with HBeAg loss Seroconversion rate (HBeAg loss and anti-HBe gain)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Clevudine in people with Hepatitis B, run by Bukwang Pharmaceutical at 7 sites in South Korea.

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 12 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Oct 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in South Korea. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early. Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Efficacy: Change from baseline in HBV DNA (log10). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 Oct 2012.
