What is being measured

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

  1. Mean change from baseline in HBV DNA levels as measured by by PCR (log10 copies/mL)

    Measured: at Week 22

Secondary outcomes (12)
  1. Incidence of clinical adverse events and discontinuations due to adverse events in each entecavir group in comparison to lamivudine

    Measured: Through Week 24 (end of dosing) plus 5 days

  2. Incidence of laboratory abnormalities in each entecavir group in comparison to lamivudine

    Measured: Through Week 24 (end of dosing) plus 5 days

  3. HBV DNA as measured by PCR (log10 copies/mL) at Week 22 [to demonstrate non-inferiority of at least one dose of entecavir as compared with lamivudine]

    Measured: Week 22

  4. Proportion of subjects in each treatment group who achieve HBV DNA reduced by ≥2 log10 and/or below the limit of quantification (LOQ) (<400 copies/mL) as measured by PCR assay

    Measured: Week 12, Week 22

  5. Proportion of subjects in each treatment group who achieve HBV DNA below the limit of detection (0.7 MEq/mL) of the Quantiplex branched DNA hybridization assay (Quantiplex assay)

    Measured: Week 22

  6. Proportion of subjects in each treatment group who achieve normalization of ALT (ALT <1.25 x UKN)

    Measured: Week 22

  7. Proportion of subjects in each treatment group who achieve loss of HBeAg at Week 22 among HBeAg-positive subjects at baseline

    Measured: Baseline, Week 22

  8. Proportion of subjects in each treatment group who achieve seroconversion at Week 22 among of HBeAg-positive subjects at baseline

    Measured: Week 22

  9. Proportion of HBeAg-positive subjects at baseline who achieve responder status (defined as: HBV DNA <0.7 MEq/mL by the Quantiplex assay; loss of HBeAg and normal serum ALT)

    Measured: Week 22

  10. Proportion of HBeAg-negative subjects at baseline who achieve responder status (defined as HBV DNA <0.7 MEq/mL by the Quantiplex assay and normal serum ALT)

    Measured: Week 22

  11. Incidence of genotypic resistance of HBV isolates in subjects who have a ε 1 log10 increase in HBV DNA as measured by PCR assay after achieving the lowest value while on study drug

    Measured: Through Week 24

  12. Relationship of HBV isolates (genotypes A, B, C etc) at baseline compared to response

    Measured: Week 22

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Entecavir in people with Chronic Hepatitis B, run by Bristol-Myers Squibb.

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 3 inclusion and 0 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 2 Feb 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 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?

Mean change from baseline in HBV DNA levels as measured by by PCR (log10 copies/mL) (time frame: at Week 22). 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 2 Feb 2010.
