About this study

Official title: A Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Single and Multiple-Dose Ranging Study Evaluating the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, and Antiviral Activity of GS-9620 in Virologically Suppressed Subjects With Chronic Hepatitis B Virus Infection

Dose cohorts may be dosed with one of up to 4 possible total weekly doses (0.3 mg, 1 mg, 2 mg, 4 mg). Dose escalation or repetition will be governed by pre-specified safety and activity rules. Subjects will be confined on days 1-3 and/or days 8-10. Follow-up visits are required periodically through day 43. Subjects with sustained reductions in HbsAg will be requested to return for additional follow-up follow-up visits at 3 and 6 months post last dose. Study procedures involve blood draws for pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, virologic, and safety assessments

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Single Ascending Dose (SAD) Cohorts GS-9620Drug

    This study will enroll cohorts of 6 eligible, unique subjects per cohort, randomized to either active drug or placebo (5:1) within each cohort. Subjects in Single Ascending Dose (SAD) Cohorts will receive a single dose of GS-9620.

  • Multiple Ascending Dose (MAD) Cohorts GS-9620Drug

    This study will enroll cohorts of 6 eligible, unique subjects per cohort, randomized to either active drug or placebo (5:1) within each cohort. Subjects in Multiple Ascending Dose (MAD) Cohorts will receive GS-9620 once weekly for two weeks (QW x 2 doses).

What is being measured

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

  1. Assessment of adverse events in single and multiple oral doses of GS-9620

    Assessments include adverse events, laboratory abnormalities, 12-lead ECG abnormalities and interval measurements, and vital signs measurements

    Measured: Periodically Day 1 to 6 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Assessment of plasma drug concentrations of GS-9620 using non-compartmental methods

    SAD and MAD Cohorts:serial blood samples will be collected on Day 1 at 0 (pre-dose), 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 24, 48, and 96 hours post-dose.

    Mad Cohorts: serial blood samples will also be collected on Day 8 at 0 (pre-dose), , 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, and 24 hours post-dose.

    Measured: Day 1 and Day 8

  2. Measurement of pharmacodynamic markers (cytokines and interferon-stimulated genes [ISGs])

    Single ascending dose (SAD) Cohorts: Whole blood and serum for pharmacodynamic (PD) assessments (RNA and cytokine analysis) will be drawn on Day 1 at pre-dose, 8, 24 and 48 hours post-dose, and on Days 5 and Day 8

    Multiple ascending dose (MAD) Cohorts: Whole blood and serum for PD assessments (RNA and cytokine analysis) will be drawn on Day 1: Pre-dose and 8 hours Postdose, Day 2, Day 3, and Day 5 Day 8: Pre-dose and 8 hours Post-dose, Day 9, 10, 12, and Day 15

    Measured: Days 1, 2, 3, 5, 8

  3. Reduction of hepatitis B (HBV) viral load from baseline

    SAD cohort: HBsAg+ levels will be drawn at Day 1: Pre-dose, Day 2, 3, 5, 8 and both Follow-up Visits.

    MAD cohorts: HBsAg+ levels will be drawn at Day 1: Pre-dose, Day 2, 3, 5, Day 8: Pre-Dose, 9, 10, 15, and both Follow-Up Visits.

    Measured: Screening, Baseline, Day 8 or 15

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Single Ascending Dose (SAD) Cohorts GS-9620 and Multiple Ascending Dose (MAD) Cohorts GS-9620 in people with Hepatitis B, run by Gilead Sciences at 20 sites in 5 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 6 inclusion and 5 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 20 Dec 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 20 sites in United States, Australia, Canada, South Korea, New Zealand. 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?

Assessment of adverse events in single and multiple oral doses of GS-9620 (time frame: Periodically Day 1 to 6 months). 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 20 Dec 2013.
