Trial summary

Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) is a serious liver disease worldwide, and the leading cause of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).HBsAg loss/seroconversion is considered to be the ideal endpoint of antiviral therapy in both HBeAg-positive and HBeAg-negative patients, as well as the ultimate treatment goal in CHB.

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 2 to 75 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: The study population in this study is composed of patients who have chronic hepatitis B and achieved HBsAg loss from interferon treatment. Eligible patients will have serum HBsAg and HBV DNA tests every 3 months for 96 weeks after finishing the interferon treatment. The sustained HBsAg response is defined as the levels of serum HBsAg mantaining below the low level of quantitation and the levels of HBV DNA remain undetectable. Following the completion of the study period, patients will be offered to participate in a long term study for further observation up to 240 weeks.

Who may be able to join

  • Patients who had chronic hepatitis B and achieved HBsAg loss by interferon treatment.

Who cannot join

  • Active consumption of alcohol and/or drugs
  • Co-infection with human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis C virus, or hepatitis D virus
  • History of autoimmune hepatitis
  • Psychiatric disease
  • Evidence of neoplastic diseases of the liver

About this study

Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) is a serious liver disease worldwide, and the leading cause of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).HBsAg loss/seroconversion is considered to be the ideal endpoint of antiviral therapy in both HBeAg-positive and HBeAg-negative patients, as well as the ultimate treatment goal in CHB. However, some patients who have achieved HBsAg loss would reverse back to HBsAg positive, or even become HBV reactive with recurrence of viremia. In current study, the viral and HBsAg response in patients who have achieved HBsAg loss by interferon (IFN) treatment will be observed for 96 weeks after the completion of IFN treatment. The primary analysis will be performed at the end of 96 weeks. Following the completion of the study period of 96 weeks, patients will be offered to participate in a long term study for further observation of additional 144 weeks (total of 240 weeks from the enrollment).

Read the detailed description

Chronic hepatitis B patients who have achieved HBsAg loss from interferon treatment will be enrolled and observed for 96 weeks. Serum HBV DNA, HBsAg, anti-HBs, HBeAg, and anti-HBe will be measured every 3 months during the observation period. Their liver function and chemistry tests are also performed every 3 months. The liver ultrasonic examination would be taken every 3-6 months. The primary measurement is the percentage of patients who have positive HBsAg and/or a detectable level of HBV DNA. Following the completion of the study period, patients will be offered to participate in a long term study for further observation of additional 144 weeks.

What is being measured

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

  1. The rate of sustained HBsAg negativity and viral response in 96 weeks

    The percentage of patients who have both undetectable level of HBsAg and undetectable level of serum HBV DNA at 96 weeks after completing treatment with interferon

    Measured: From the enrollment to 96 weeks

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. The rate of sustained HBsAg negativity and viral response in long term

    The percentage of patients who have both undetectable level of HBsAg and undetectable level of serum HBV DNA at 240 weeks after completing treatment with interferon

    Measured: From the enrollment to 240 weeks

  2. The rate of sustained HBsAg negativity and viral response in subset analysis in 96 weeks

    The percentage of patients who have both undetectable level of HBsAg and undetectable level of serum HBV DNA at 96 weeks after completing treatment with interferon mono-therapy versus those who have the same endpoints after the completion of the interferon therapy in the combination or sequencing of oral antiviral therapy

    Measured: From the enrollment to 96 weeks

  3. The rate of sustained HBsAg negativity and viral response in subset analysis for long term

    The percentage of patients who have both undetectable level of HBsAg and undetectable level of serum HBV DNA at 240 weeks after completing treatment with interferon mono-therapy versus those who have the same endpoints after completing the interferon therapy in the combination or sequencing of oral antiviral therapy

    Measured: From the enrollment to 240 weeks

  4. Predictor(s) for recurrence of HBsAg positivity or detectable levels of HBV DNA in 96 weeks

    Clinical features and baseline factors will be analyzed by comparing patients who have sustained HBsAg negativity and viral response vs. those who have no sustained endpoints at week 96.

    Measured: From the enrollment to 96 weeks

  5. Predictor(s) for recurrence of HBsAg positivity or detectable levels of HBV DNA in long term

    Clinical features and baseline factors will be analyzed by comparing patients who have sustained HBsAg negativity and viral response vs. those who have no sustained endpoints at week 240.

    Measured: From the enrollment to 240 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic Hepatitis B, run by Beijing Ditan 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 1 inclusion and 5 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 14 Nov 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 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.

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?

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 rate of sustained HBsAg negativity and viral response in 96 weeks (time frame: From the enrollment to 96 weeks). 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 NCT02336399, 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 14 Nov 2017.
