About this study

In this open-label multicenter study the long-term effect of Pegasys monotherapy on pharmacodynamic HBV-related markers will be investigated in patients with chronic hepatitis B. Eligible patients will have completed treatment on another donor protocol (e.g. PP22512) and will receive Pegasys at an appropriate dose based on the standard of care (180mcg sc once weekly) for up to 48 weeks. Target sample size is <100.

What is being measured

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

  1. The longitudinal effect on HBV-related markers: viral load, viral antigen/antibody, viral sequence, cellular and humoral immune responses, RNA

    Measured: assessed every 2 months on treatment (not exceeding maximum approved duration), and up to week 24 of follow-up

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Safety and tolerability: AEs, laboratory parameters, vital signs, concomitant medications

    Measured: assessed every 2 months on treatment and up to week 24 of follow-up

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing peginterferon alfa-2a [Pegasys] in people with Hepatitis B, Chronic, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 6 sites in 4 countries.

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 3 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 8 Apr 2014. 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, Singapore, New Zealand, Taiwan. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

The longitudinal effect on HBV-related markers: viral load, viral antigen/antibody, viral sequence, cellular and humoral immune responses, RNA (time frame: assessed every 2 months on treatment (not exceeding maximum approved duration), and up to week 24 of follow-up). 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 8 Apr 2014.
