About this study

Official title: A Multi-Center Phase 3, Open-Label, Parallel-Group Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety and Pharmacokinetics of Adefovir Dipivoxil Liquid Suspension in Patients With Chronic Hepatitis B and Varying Degrees of Renal Impairment

This is a multi-center phase 3, open-label, parallel-group study designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of adefovir dipivoxil liquid suspension in patients with chronic hepatitis B and varying degrees of renal impairment.

Read the detailed description

Approximately 48 patients with chronic hepatitis B will be enrolled into four groups representing varying degrees of renal function. Grouping will be achieved through estimation of creatinine clearance (CLcr) using the Cockcroft-Gault method of calculation at the time of screening:

Group 1: Mild (Clcr = greater than or equal to 50 to less than 80 mL/min)

Group 2: Moderate (Clcr = greater than or equal to 20 to less than 50 mL/min)

Group 3: Severe (Clcr = greater than or equal to 10 to less than 20 mL/min)

Group 4A-B: End stage renal disease (ESRD) including hemodialysis:

  • Group 4A (Clcr = less than 10 mL/min)
  • Group 4B (Patients undergoing hemodialysis)

At the baseline visit (day 0), blood and urine samples will be collected pre-dose (prior to 0 hour) after which patients will receive an oral dose of liquid adefovir dipivoxil according to the treatment guideline outlined in the protocol.

Pharmacokinetic parameters in plasma will be determined for the day 0 and week 12 visits for all patients and at the week 48 visit for group 1, 2, 3, and 4A patients. Pharmacokinetic parameters in urine will be determined for the day 0, week 12 and week 48 visits for group 1, 2, 3, and 4A patients.

At week 4, 8, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, and 44 visits, pharmacokinetic assessments in plasma will be determined pre-dose (Ctrough levels) in groups 1, 2, 3, and 4A. For group 4B patients, pharmacokinetic assessments will be determined at weeks 4 and 8 prior to and upon completion of hemodialysis.

Evaluations of safety and efficacy will be conducted at 4 weekly intervals up to week 48 for groups 1, 2, 3, and 4A, and up to week 12 for group 4B. At these visits, patients will receive the next study medication allocation. Study medication administration will continue for up to a total of 48 weeks.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Adefovir Dipivoxil for oral suspension, 2 mg/mL in people with Chronic Hepatitis B, run by Gilead Sciences at 1 site in United States.

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 16 inclusion and 21 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 16 Oct 2013. 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 United States. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00071201, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 16 Oct 2013.
