About this study

Official title: Antiviral Efficacy of Continuing Lamivudine Plus Adefovir or Switching to Telbivudine Plus Adefovir in HBeAg-positive Lamivudine-refractory Chronic Hepatitis B Patients Who Have Suboptimal Response to Lamivudine Plus Adefovir for at Least 12 Months

No study has reported on the comparative effect of continuing lamivudine plus adefovir versus switching to telbivudine plus adefovir in HBeAg-positive lamivudine-refractory chronic hepatitis B patients who have suboptimal response to lamivudine plus adefovir. The goal of this study is to compare the efficacy of continuing lamivudine plus adefovir versus switching to telbivudine plus adefovir directly in patients with lamivudine-refractory chronic hepatitis B patients who have suboptimal response to lamivudine plus adefovir for at least 12 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing telbivudine in people with Chronic Hepatitis B, run by Yonsei University at 1 site 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 3 inclusion and 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Feb 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Han Jak Ryu, Dr. (+82-10-2329-2379, hanjak@yuhs.ac), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Virologic response (time frame: 1 year). 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 NCT01270165, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 2012.
