Show all 14Show fewer
  • Patients who were pregnant or breast-feeding.
  • Patients who were unwilling to use an "effective" method of contraception during the treatment and for up to 3 months after cessation of therapy. For males, condoms should be used.

  • The patients with a benign tumor were excluded if judged by an investigator that the continuation of study would be interfered by benign tumor.
  • Patients with creatinine clearance less than 60mL/min as estimated by the following formula :
  • (140-age in years) (body weight [kg]) (72) (serum creatinine [mg/dL]) [Note: multiply estimates by 0.85 for women]
  • Patients who were found to have YMDD HBV DNA polymerase mutation at baseline were to be excluded from the overall efficacy evaluation and analyzed separately. They were to be included in the overall safety evaluation.

What is being measured

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

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing clevudine in people with Hepatitis B, run by Bukwang Pharmaceutical at 33 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 7 inclusion and 14 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 1 Feb 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 33 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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) at Week 24. 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 1 Feb 2017.
