What is being measured

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

  1. Change in HBsAg (IU/ml) levels during therapy (up to 48 weeks) and follow-up

    Measured: from baseline to up to approximately 3 years

  2. Change in HBV DNA (IU/ml) during therapy (up to 48 weeks) and follow-up

    Measured: from baseline to up to approximately 3 years

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Percentage of patients with sustained immune control (sustained HBV DNA <2000 IU/ml in HBeAg-negative and HBeAg-positive patients or HBeAg seroconversion in HBeAg-positive patients)

    Measured: approximately 4 years

  2. Percentage of patients with normalisation of serum alanine transaminase (ALT) levels

    Measured: approximately 4 years

  3. Percentage of patients with HBsAg clearance/seroconversion

    Measured: approximately 4 years

  4. Safety: Incidence of adverse events

    Measured: approximately 4 years

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hepatitis B, Chronic, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 2 sites in Germany.

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.

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.

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?

Change in HBsAg (IU/ml) levels during therapy (up to 48 weeks) and follow-up (time frame: from baseline to up to approximately 3 years). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 Nov 2016.
