About this study

Official title: A Phase 1b/2a, Dose-Ranging Study of the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Initial Efficacy of ABI-H0731 in Patients With Chronic Hepatitis B

The purpose of this protocol is to obtain pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic data on ABI-H0731 and to provide the opportunity for preliminary evaluation of combination therapy of ABI-H0731 with currently approved antiviral treatment for chronic hepatitis B.

Read the detailed description

The Phase 1b/2a assessments of the dose-related safety, PK, and initial antiviral efficacy of ABI-H0731 in hepatitis B patients will be conducted at approximately 17 different sites to meet enrollment goals of 108 chronic hepatitis B patients.

Being tested
ABI-H0731, Placebo for ABI-H0731, Entecavir, Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate, Pegasys
Medical subject headings
Hepatitis B, Chronic

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing ABI-H0731, Entecavir and Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate in people with Chronic Hepatitis B, run by Assembly Biosciences at 14 sites in 5 countries.

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 4 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 6 Jul 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 14 sites in Australia, South Korea, United Kingdom, Taiwan, Hong Kong. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

Number of patients with chronic HBV infection with treatment-related adverse events and laboratory abnormalities as assessed by CTCAE v4.0. (time frame: Up to 57 days). 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 6 Jul 2018.
