About this study

This study evaluates generic emtricitabine(FTC) in Chinese naive chronic hepatitis B patients. Patients were divided into 2 groups: HBeAg positive Chronic hepatitis B(CHB)group and HBeAg negative Chronic hepatitis B(CHB)group.

Read the detailed description

Generic emtricitabine(FTC) has been approved for treatment of naive chronic hepatitis B(CHB) patients in China. Yet data are limited for this agent. The investigators design this trial to test the effect of FTC in Chinese CHB which including naive HBeAg positive and Negative CHB patients. Response guided therapy strategy is adopted for patients who can not achieve HBV DNA negativity at week 24 FTC treatment, which means FTC and adefovir are combined for these patients.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Emtricitabine in people with Hepatitis B, Chronic, run by Asian-Pacific Alliance of Liver Disease, Beijing.

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 14 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Dec 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Jun Cheng, M.D. (+86 10 84322116, jun.cheng.ditan@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

virological response rate (time frame: week 96). 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 NCT02327663, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 Dec 2014.
