About this study

Official title: HBV Viral Suppression by Entecavir in Adefovir Partial Responders

We propose a largely retrospective study with short-term prospective follow-up in a subgroup of patients who have not yet been treated with 48 weeks of entecavir following partial response to adefovir. The aim of the study is to describe sequential virologic response to adefovir and entecavir.

Read the detailed description

Amendment was made, and approved by WIRB in January 2009, to this protocol: We propose a largely retrospective study with short-term prospective follow-up in a subgroup of patients who have not yet been treated with 96 weeks of entecavir following adefovir treatment. The aim of the study is to describe sequential virologic response to adefovir and entecavir.

Study groups in NCT00704106
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Group 1Persistent viremia after 48 weeks or longer.
Receives: Drug: Entecavir
Group 2<2 log IU/mL drop from initial HBVDNA after 12 weeks of adefovir
Receives: Drug: Entecavir

What is being measured

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

  1. HBV DNA PCR after 12 weeks of entecavir from the time of medication switching: percent of patients with <2log drop in HBV DNA and percent of patients with complete viral suppression during adefovir versus during entecavir.

    Measured: 48 weeks or after

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. HBV DNA PCR after 24 weeks of entecavir from the time of medication switching.

    Measured: 48 weeks or after

  2. HBV DNA PCR after 48 weeks of entecavir from the time of medication switching.

    Measured: 48 weeks or after

  3. BR and CR at 24 and 48 weeks of therapy with entecavir.

    Measured: 48 weeks or after.

  4. BR and CR for longer duration of therapy if available.

    Measured: 48 weeks or after.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hepatitis B, run by Pacific Health Foundation at 6 sites in United States.

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 9 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 14 Nov 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in United States. 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?

HBV DNA PCR after 12 weeks of entecavir from the time of medication switching: percent of patients with <2log drop in HBV DNA and percent of patients with complete viral suppression during adefovir versus during entecavir. (time frame: 48 weeks or after). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00704106, which also lists 15 linked publications.

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 14 Nov 2022.
