About this study
Official title: The Therapy of Tacrolimus Combined With Entecavir on HBV Associated Glomerulonephritis : A Multicenter, Prospective, Randomized, Controlled, Single-blind Trial.
This study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Tacrolimus combined with entecavir antiviral therapy for HBV-associated glomerulonephritis in china. Tacrolimus combined with entecavir rapidly and effectively induced remission of HBV-GN in Chinese adults. Meanwhile, Tacrolimus may have a synergistic antiviral effect with entecavir. The study protocol was reviewed and approved by Guangdong General Hospital's Ethic Committee, and all participants provided written informed consents. The study will be a prospective, randomized,controlled,single-blind, multi-centre, withdrawal study conducted by Guangdong general hospital, Guangdong Academy of Medical Sciences.there will be two phases, phase 1, Screening and enrolling 112 HBV-GN patients about one year,and phase 2, ongoing follow-up for 24 weeks.The data of all patients will be recorded in the HBV-GN electronic database.Before the randomisation, All patients will receive entecavir routine antiviral therapy for two weeks.And then they will be randomized to two different group,the treatment group: Tacrolimus combined with entecavir antiviral therapy,the control group: The Tacrolimus placebo and entecavir antiviral therapy. The Tacrolimus target trough concentration was 5-10 ng/mL during the therapy. The primary outcome variables were the number of patients who reached complete or partial remission (CR or PR) after the 25 week-treatment. CR was defined as <0.3 g/24 h proteinuria (UPCR<300mg/g.cr) or lower plus stable renal function (eGFR>50 ml/min/1.73 m2) and PR as proteinuria 0.3-3.0 g/24 h (UPCR 300-3000mg/g.cr) and 50% lower than baseline proteinuria plus stable renal function. Secondary outcome variables: 1) The number of patients who reached complete or partial remission (CR or PR) after the 13 week-treatment. 2) Serum creatinine (SCr) increased 2 times the baseline levels or 50% lower than the baseline eGFR(according to chronic kidney disease-EPI (CKD-EPI) )after the 25 week-treatment. 3)Serum HBV DNA was undetectable(HBV DNA<500copies/ml) at the end of 25 week-treatment. 4) The number of patients who present acute kidney injury at the end of 25 week-treatment.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Tacrolimus &entecavirDrug
Also called FK506,Prograf, baraclude
HBV-GN patients with nephrotic syndrome were randomly givenTacrolimus (0.05-0.1 mg/kg/day) combined with entecavir. Tacrolimus was divided into two daily doses at 12-hour intervals. Subsequent doses were adjusted to achieve a whole blood 12-hour trough level between 5 and 10 ng/ml.All patients will receive entecavir antiviral therapy(0.5mg/d), entecavir was taken once a day. All of HBV-GN patients were followed up to 25week.
placebo & entecavirDrug
Also called baraclude
HBV-GN patients with nephrotic syndrome were randomly givenTacrolimus placebo (0.05-0.1 mg/kg/day) combined with entecavir.Tacrolimus placebo was divided into two daily doses at 12-hour intervals. All patients will receive entecavir antiviral therapy(0.5mg/d), entecavir was taken once a day. All of HBV-GN patients were followed up to 25week.

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.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Zhiming Ye, PHD (86-13826161678, 13826161678@139.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Remission rate of proteinuria (time frame: 25 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 NCT03062813, which also lists 13 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 24 Feb 2017.
