About this study

Official title: Improved Sensitivity Detection of Serum HBsAg in Chronic Hepatitis B Patients Achieving Functional Cure and Its Association With HBsAg Reversion

The goal of this observational study is to learn about the HBsAg reversion rate at 48 weeks off treatment in HBsAg-negative patients by HBsAg NEXT assay which has improved sensitivity compared to current ARCHITECT HBsAg Assay.

The main question it aims to answer is:

What's the HBsAg reversion rate at 48 weeks off treatment in HBsAg-negative patients by HBsAg NEXT assay? HBsAg NEXT assay technology (lower limit of detection for HBsAg is 0.005 IU/ml) and current ARCHITECT HBsAg assay (lower limit of detection for HBsAg is 0.05 IU/ml) are applied for HBsAg detection in patients achieving functional cure, and to compare the difference in HBsAg reversion rate 48 weeks off treatment under the two types of criteria.

Read the detailed description

In this study, chronic hepatitis B patients who achieved HBsAg loss by current ARCHITECT HBsAg testing (lower limit of detection for HBsAg is 0.05 IU/ml) under interferon therapy and received consolidation therapy for 3 month after that were screened for eligibility. Those who are willing to discontinue were enrolled in the study. Patients were divided in two groups according to HBsAg levels,one with patients who were HBsAg-negative (HBsAg<0.005 IU/mL)by HBsAg next assay , and the other with patients who had HBsAg levels between 0.005 IU/mL and 0.05IU/mL. Patients were followed up for 48 weeks after discontinuation after HBsAg loss and HBsAg reversion rates in the two groups were analyzed and compared.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hepatitis B, Chronic, run by Huashan 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 3 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Aug 2024. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Fahong Li (13524212580, minelihong@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

HBsAg reversion rate (time frame: 48 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 13 Aug 2024.
