Condition(s) targeted: Chronic Hepatitis B

Intervention: Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (Drug)

Phase: Phase 4

Status: Completed

Sponsored by: Gilead Sciences

Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the antiviral activity and safety of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) in Asian-American adults (self-reported Asian descent, living in the United States) with chronic hepatitis B infection. All participants will receive active treatment with TDF for 48 weeks.

Clinical Details

Official title: A Phase IV Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of Tenofovir DF in Asian-American Adults With Chronic Hepatitis B Infection

Study design: Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment

Primary outcome: Number of Participants With Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) <400 Copies/mL (<69 IU/mL)

Secondary outcome:

Number of Participants With Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) Normal at Week 48

Number of Participants With ALT Normalized (Baseline Values > ULN [34 U/L] and <= ULN at a Subsequent Visit) at Week 48

Number of Participants With Composite Endpoint of Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) DNA <400 Copies/mL (<69 IU/mL) and Normal ALT at Week 48

Change From Baseline in FibroTest Value

Number of Participants With HBeAg/Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBsAg) Loss and Seroconversion

Number of Participants With HBV DNA < 169 Copies/mL (<29 IU/mL) at Week 48

Number of Participants With Composite Endpoint of HBV DNA <400 Copies/mL (<69 IU/mL), Normal ALT, and HBeAg Loss

Number of Participants With Composite Endpoint of HBV DNA <400 Copies/mL (<69 IU/mL), Normal ALT, and Seroconversion to Anti-HBe

Summary of Resistance Surveillance for Participants Who Discontinued the Study Early

Detailed description: Efficacy of TDF will be evaluated for reductions in serum HBV DNA, changes in liver enzymes, and the generation of antibody to the virus. Safety will be assessed by evaluating adverse events, laboratory abnormalities, and the development of drug resistance mutations.

- Willing and able to provide written informed consent

- Negative serum beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) pregnancy test (females of

child-bearing potential)

- Estimated glomerular filtration rate (creatinine clearance) =/> 60 mL/min/1. 73m^2 by

the Cockcroft-Gault equation

- Adequate hematologic function (absolute neutrophil count =/> 1,500/mm^3; hemoglobin

- No prior TDF therapy; participants may have taken < 12 weeks of oral anti-HBV

therapy, with the last dose =/> 16 weeks prior to screening; participants may have received prior interferon, but must have discontinued interferon therapy =/> 6 months prior to screening Exclusion Criteria: Participants who meet any of the following exclusion criteria are not to be enrolled in this study.

- Pregnant women, women who are breast feeding or who believe they may wish to become

pregnant during the course of the study.

- Males and females of reproductive potential who are not willing to use an effective

method of contraception during the study. For males, condoms should be used and for females, a barrier contraception method should be used in combination with one other form of contraception.

- Decompensated liver disease defined as direct (conjugated) bilirubin > 1. 2 X ULN,

prothrombin time (PT) > 1. 2 X ULN, platelets < 150,000/mm3, or serum albumin < 3. 5 g/dL

- Prior history of clinical hepatic decompensation (eg, ascites, jaundice,

encephalopathy) or variceal hemorrhage

- Receipt of =/> 12 weeks of oral anti-HBV nucleoside/nucleotide therapy, or receipt of

ANY oral anti-HBV treatment < 16 weeks prior to screening

- Receipt of interferon (pegylated or not) therapy within 6 months of the Screening

Visit

- alpha-fetoprotein > 50 ng/mL

- Evidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)

- Co-infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), or

hepatitis D virus (HDV)

- History of significant renal disease (eg, nephrotic syndrome, renal dysgenesis,

polycystic kidney disease, congenital nephrosis, acute tubular necrosis, other renal disease)

- History of significant bone disease (eg, osteomalacia, chronic osteomyelitis,

osteogenesis imperfecta, osteochrondroses, multiple bone fractures)

absorption of orally administered medications

- History of solid organ or bone marrow transplantation

- Ongoing therapy with any of the following: nephrotoxic agents, competitors of renal

excretion (eg, probenecid), systemic chemotherapeutic agents, systemic corticosteroids, Interleukin-2 (IL-2) and other immunomodulating agents, investigational agents (except with the expressed approval of the Sponsor); administration of any of the above medications must be discontinued at least 30 days prior to the Baseline Visit and for the duration of the study period

- Known hypersensitivity to the study drugs, the metabolites, or formulation excipients

- Any other condition (including alcohol or substance abuse) or prior therapy that, in

the opinion of the Investigator, would make the participant unsuitable for the study or unable to comply with dosing requirements
