  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patient is between 18 and 60, inclusive.

  • Patient is documented to be HBsAg positive for > 6 months and HBeAg positive.
  • Patient has AST and ALT levels which are >= 1 times and <= 10 times the upper limit of normal (x ULN).
  • Patient has bilirubin levels <= 1.5 x ULN or bilirubin levels > 1.5 x ULN with diagnosis of Gilbert's disease and conjugated bilirubin within normal limits.
  • Women of childbearing age must have a negative urine (b-HCG) pregnancy test before start of trial treatment.
  • Patient is able to give written informed consent prior to study start and to comply with the study requirements.

Who cannot join

  • Patient is currently receiving antiviral, immunomodulatory or corticosteroid therapy.
  • Patients previously treated with lamivudine, lobucavir, adefovir, famciclovir, or any other investigational nucleoside for HBV infection.
  • Previous treatment with interferon must have ended at least 6 months prior to the screening visit.

  • Patient is pregnant or breast-feeding.
  • Patient is unwilling to use an "effective" method of contraception during the study and for up to 3 months after the use of study drug ceases. For males, condoms should be used. Females must be surgically sterile (via hysterectomy or bilateral tubal ligation), post-menopausal, or using at least a medically acceptable barrier method of contraception (i.e., IUD, barrier methods with spermicide or abstinence).
  • Patient has a clinically relevant history of abuse of alcohol or drugs.
  • Patient has a significant gastrointestinal, renal, hepatic (decompensated), bronchopulmonary, neurological, cardiovascular, oncologic or allergic disease.
  • Subjects who are currently participating in another investigational study or has been taking any investigational drug within the last 4 weeks prior to Screening Visit.
  • Subjects who are taking any traditional Chinese medication, or has been taking any traditional Chinese medication within the last 2 weeks prior to Screening Visit.
  • Any criteria, which, in the opinion of the investigator, suggests that the subject would not be compliant with the study protocol.

About this study

Official title: A Double-blinded and Randomised Study to Compare the Efficacy and Safety of 48-week Treatment With Clevudine 30 mg qd Versus Lamivudine 100 mg qd for Chronic Hepatitis B Infection

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of 48-week treatment with Clevudine 30 mg qd versus lamivudine 100 mg qd for chronic hepatitis B infection.

Conditions
Hepatitis B
Being tested
Clevudine

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • ClevudineDrug

What is being measured

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

  1. Efficacy: incident rate of the HBV DNA negativity (i.e. <300 copies/ml) by PCR

  2. Safety: Laboratory tests, Adverse Events, Physical examination

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Efficacy:

  2. Viral kinetics of HBV DNA suppression

  3. Viral dynamic study over the first 12 weeks to define the nature of the anti-viral effect of Clevudine compared to Lamivudine.

  4. Evaluation of the changes of ALT normalization rate and HBV serology over 48 weeks of treatment period

  5. Evaluation of the proportion of patients with HBV DNA <300 copies/ml, median HBV DNA change from baseline(log10 copies/ml), the proportion of patients with normal ALT, and HBV serology over an additional 48 weeks of open label treatment

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 2 sites in Hong Kong.

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 13 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 26 Jul 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Hong Kong. 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 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?

Efficacy: incident rate of the HBV DNA negativity (i.e. <300 copies/ml) by PCR. 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 26 Jul 2012.
