About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Controlled, Open-label, Multicenter Clinical Study of Treatment of Chronic Hepatitis B With TY-CZ-9999 Ozone Therapy System

The purpose of this study is to verify the effectiveness and safety of medical ozone therapy system in treatment of chronic hepatitis B.

Read the detailed description

Total of 189 patients with compensated chronic hepatitis B will be divided equally and randomly into three arms. Patients in arm I and II treated with medical ozone therapy with different medical ozone generators, one was made in Tianyi medical instruments limited company and the other in Germany. Sixty-three patients of arm III treated with Diammonium glycyrrhizinate Capsules, common used liver protective herb drug. The term of therapy is 12 weeks. Virology response, biochemistry response and hepatitis B viral serological response will be studied at the end of 12 weeks treatment.

Being tested
medical ozone therapy with tianyi, medical ozone therapy with humares, Diammonium glycyrrhizinate Capsules

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing medical ozone therapy with tianyi, medical ozone therapy with humares and Diammonium glycyrrhizinate Capsules in people with Chronic Hepatitis B, run by Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University at 1 site in China.

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 11 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 18 Oct 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 China. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

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 (time frame: week 12). 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 18 Oct 2012.
