About this study

Official title: Efficay of Extended Peginterferon Alpha 2a(PEG-IFN a-2a) Treatment in HBeAg Negative Chronic Hepatitis B Patients

The most important method to slow down and stop the liver disease progression in patients with chronic hepatitis B is antiviral therapy, by which to achieve maintaining viral response during treatment or obtain sustained viral response after treatment. The aim of the therapy with interferon is make patients obtain immune control to HBV defined as sustained viral response after treatment, however, most patients can't get this target after 48 weeks of interferon treatment, and some patients need extended treatment in clinical practice to enhance the rate of sustained viral response or HBsAg loss occurred during treatment. In this cohort study, the efficacy of extended therapy of interferon in HBeAg negative chronic hepatitis B patients will be evaluated.

Read the detailed description

In this cohort study, the HBeAg negative chronic hepatitis B patients would be treated with peginterferon alpha 2a(PEG-IFN a-2a) for 96 week and followed 24 weeks after treatment. Serum HBV DNA load, HBsAg/anti-HBs level, HBeAg/anti-HBe will be tested at enrollment and every 3 months during treatment and follow period. Parameters of liver and kidney function, and liver ultrasound examination will be tested with intervals 1-3 months. The efficacies were evaluated by the rate of HBsAg loss during treatment and the rate of sustained viral response after treatment and follow up.

What is being measured

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

  1. rate of sustained viral response

    Sutained viral response was defined as serum HBV DNA undetectable at the end of treatment and the end of 24 weeks follow up.

    Measured: 120 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. rate of HBsAg loss

    HBsAg loss was defined as HBsAg level lower than 0.05 IU/ml.

    Measured: 96 weeks

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Aug 2016. 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?

Contact yao xie, MD (8610-84322489, xieyao00120184@sina.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

rate of sustained viral response (time frame: 120 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 19 Aug 2016.
