Study Comparing Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate (TDF), Emtricitabine/TDF, & Entecavir in the Treatment of Chronic HBV in Subjects w/Decompensated Liver Disease.

Information source: Gilead Sciences

Link to the current ClinicalTrials.gov record.

Condition(s) targeted: Chronic Hepatitis B

Intervention: tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (Drug); emtricitabine / tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (Drug); entecavir (Drug)

Phase: Phase 2

Status: Active, not recruiting

Sponsored by: Gilead Sciences

Official(s) and/or principal investigator(s):
Elsa Mondou, M.D., Study Chair, Affiliation: Gilead Sciences

Summary

The study is designed to evaluate and compare the safety and tolerability of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (DF), emtricitabine/tenofovir DF, and entecavir in the treatment of hepatitis B patients with decompensated liver disease.

Clinical Details

Official title: Phase 2, Double-Blind, Multi-Center, Randomized Study Comparing Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate, Emtricitabine/Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate, and Entecavir in the Treatment of Chronic Hepatitis B Subjects With Decompensated Liver Disease and in the Prevention of Hepatitis B Recurrence Post-Transplantation.

Study design: Treatment, Randomized, Double Blind (Subject, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor), Active Control, Parallel Assignment, Safety/Efficacy Study

Primary outcome: Safety (adverse events and laboratory tests, discontinuations due to adverse events)

Detailed description: Safety will be assessed by evaluating adverse events, laboratory abnormalities and the development of drug-resistant mutations. Efficacy will be evaluated for reductions in Child-Pugh-Turcotte (CPT) and Model for End Stage Liver Disease (MELD) scores, reductions in HBV DNA, changes in liver enzymes, and the generation of antibody to virus.

Eligibility

Minimum age: 18 Years. Maximum age: 69 Years. Gender(s): Both.
