What is being measured

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

  1. the Difference between HBV DNA level(log10) and the base line of HBV DNA level(log10)

    measured at 24th week of the administration

    Measured: 52 weeks

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. the percentage of participants who have less than 300 copies/ml of HBV DNA (undetectable titre)

    measured at 24th/48th week of the administration

    Measured: 52 weeks

  2. the proportion of participants with normalization of serum alanine aminotransferase (less than 1.0 times the upper limit of normal)

    measured at 24th/48th week of the administration

    Measured: 52 weeks

  3. the percentage of participants who have lost HBeAg

    HBeAg of the participants was found positive at their screening visit. Also, the measurement performs 24th/48th week of the administration.

    Measured: 52 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Baracle Tab.® and Baraclude Tab.® in people with HBeAg-Positive Chronic Hepatitis B, run by Dong-A ST Co., Ltd. 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 6 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 31 Aug 2017. 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 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?

the Difference between HBV DNA level(log10) and the base line of HBV DNA level(log10) (time frame: 52 weeks). 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 31 Aug 2017.
