About this study

Official title: The Efficacy and Safety of Telbivudine and Lamivudine Use in Highly Viremic Mothers to Prevent Hepatitis B Transmission

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of telbivudine and lamivudine use during late pregnancy for the prevention of HBV perinatal transmission in highly viraemic mothers.

Read the detailed description

This study enrolls HBV mono-infected pregnant women cohorts managed in outpatient clinics/delivery unit at YouAn Hospital in Beijing. Subjects are prospectively followed from gestation week 26 to postpartum week 52. Treatment naïve mothers with HBV DNA > 6 log10 c/mL and normal ALT are eligible. Mothers with abnormal fetus, cirrhosis or evidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are excluded. At gestation week 28, mothers will receive telbivudine (LdT) 600 mg per day or lamivudine (Lam) 100 mg per day until postpartum 4 or no treatment as per their preference. All infants will receive standard immunoprophylaxis. Data is collected from patient records using data extraction forms. Primary endpoints are vertical transmission rates at infants' age of 52 week and the safety of telbivudine or lamivudine use.

What is being measured

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

  1. Safety on fetal exposure of telbivudine and lamivudine and vertical transmission rate from mother to child

    Measured: From gestation week 26 to postpartum week 52

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. percentage of mothers with serum HBV DNA level reduction, ALT within normal range and HBeAg and/or HBsAg negativity with or without seroconversion

    Measured: From gestation week 26 to pastpartume week 52

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Telbivudine and Lamivudine in people with Chronic Hepatitis B and Late Pregnancy, run by Beijing YouAn Hospital 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 4 inclusion and 6 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 30 Jul 2013. 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. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

Safety on fetal exposure of telbivudine and lamivudine and vertical transmission rate from mother to child (time frame: From gestation week 26 to postpartum week 52). 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 NCT01743079, 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 30 Jul 2013.
