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 48Number 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 Without Virologic Breakthrough Summary of Resistance Surveillance for Participants With Virologic Breakthrough 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.

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
