About this study

Official title: Serum HBV RNA Level Monitoring During Chronic Hepatitis B Virus Infection Especialy in Patients Undergoing Long-term Nucleos(t)Ide Analoguage Treatment

As an alternative biomarker of intrahepatic covalently closed circular DNA(cccDNA) transcriptional activity, hepatitis B virus(HBV)RNA may evolve during long-lasting virus-host interactionsduring chronic hepatitis B viral infection.The distribution pattern of serum HBV RNA levels in the natural course of chronic HBV infection remains unclear. Furthermore,serum HBV RNA was associated with response to NAs. So it may be another clinical surrogate marker for intrahepatic cccDNA level after long-term NAs treatment and be used to monitor NAs therapy. The aim of this study was to evaluate thelevels of HBV RNA during the natural courseof CHB and the role in distinguishingthe natural phases of HBV infection and to investigate whether serum HBV RNA level at the end of long-term NAs treatment had a similar or better predict effect on off-therapy relapse than serum HBsAg titer.

What is being measured

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

  1. serum HBV RNA value in treatment naive patients with chronic HBV infection were tested by using HBV SAT

    serum HBV RNA level in patients with chronic HBV infection during different natural history stage were were compared. The relationship between serum HBV RNA and other viral markers,such as HBV DNA,HBeAg and HBsAg, were determined.

    Measured: serum HBV RNA level were measured 24hs after the enrollment

  2. End of treatment serum HBV RNA levels predict the 24-month off-therapy viral rebound

    End of treatment serum HBV RNA in patients after long-term nucleos(t)ide analog therapy were tested and the predictive effect of EOT HBV RNA value on 24-month off-therapy viral rebound were determined.

    Measured: Change in serum HBV DNA levels from stopping baseline to 24 month after drug cessation was determined

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. serum HBV RNA in patients receiving long-term NAs therapy were tested at different time point

    serum HBV RNA change pattern along long-term NAs therapy wad determined and the relationship between HBV RNA and HBV DNA or HBsAg during NAs therapy were also determined

    Measured: 48 hrs after enrollment the serun HBV RNA level were tested

  2. Number of patients with evaluate HBV DNA relapse(> 20,000 IU/mL) through 96 weeks off-therapy

    the cumulative viral relapse rates at the 1st and 2nd year off-therapy were calculated

    Measured: viral rebound rates were calculated from stopping baseline to 24 month after drug cessation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic HBV Infection and Drug Withdrawal, run by Changhai Hospital.

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 5 inclusion and 7 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 2 Feb 2021. 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.

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?

serum HBV RNA value in treatment naive patients with chronic HBV infection were tested by using HBV SAT (time frame: serum HBV RNA level were measured 24hs after the enrollment). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 2 Feb 2021.
