Trial summary

The risk of vertical HBV transmission is related to HBV DNA level in pregnant women, around 30% in women with HBV DNA above 1, 000 000 I.U/mL despite serovaccination of newborns. Using tenofovir DF during the last trimester of pregnancy allows to reduce the risk, but data from Western countries are needed. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Prevention of Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) Mother-to-Child (MTC) Transmission by Serovaccination of Newborns and Use of Tenofovir DF During the Last Trimester of Pregnancy in Mothers With HBV DNA Above 100, 000 I.U/mL

The risk of vertical HBV transmission is related to HBV DNA level in pregnant women, around 30% in women with HBV DNA above 1, 000 000 I.U/mL despite serovaccination of newborns. Using tenofovir DF during the last trimester of pregnancy allows to reduce the risk, but data from Western countries are needed.

Read the detailed description

The prevalence of HBs Ag carriage in pregnant women varies in France, according to the native country, with higher rates in those originating from sub-Saharan Africa and Asia (5 to 8% in Parisian area). The level of HBV DNA varies according to HBe status and geographical origin, and is strongly predictive of the risk of HBV mother-to-child transmission (MTCT). The rate of vertical transmission (Yuan J et al. J Viral Hepatitis 2006) was 0% in newborns to mothers with HBV DNA less than 100,000 copies/mL and up to more than 40% in newborns to mothers with HBV DNA above 8 Log10 copies/mL, despite serovaccination at birth, thus justifying the use of tenofovir DF during the last trimester of pregnancy in highly viraemic pregnant women, as mentionned in EASL 2012 Guidelines. Data are needed concerning the results of this strategy in western countries, justifying this prospective study.

What participants receive

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

  • Tenofovir DFDrug

    Tenofovir DF will be started at week 28 of pregnancy and stopped or not, according to the physician's decision, at week 12 after birth

What is being measured

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

  1. Rate of chronically infected (positive HBs Ag) children born from mothers with HBV DNA above 100, 000 I.U/mL being given tenofovir during the last trimester of pregnancy.

    Measured: At 9 months after birth

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Tenofovir DF in people with Pregnancy and HBV, run by Hopital Lariboisière at 1 site in France.

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 3 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 28 Apr 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 France. 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?

Rate of chronically infected (positive HBs Ag) children born from mothers with HBV DNA above 100, 000 I.U/mL being given tenofovir during the last trimester of pregnancy. (time frame: At 9 months after birth). 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 NCT02039362, 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 28 Apr 2017.
