About this study

Official title: Generation of HBV-specific T-cell Immunity in Individuals With HIV/HBV Co-infection Receiving HBV-active Antiretroviral Therapy

The trial will randomise HIV/HBV co-infected individuals to different HBV-active antiretroviral therapy treatment regimens.

Read the detailed description

Longitudinal study of circulating and intra-hepatic HBV-specific T-cell immunity in the setting of a randomised, controlled, international, multi-centre outpatient trial. The trial will randomise HIV/HBV co-infected individuals to different HBV-active antiretroviral therapy treatment regimens.

Study population: Patients with HIV/HBV co-infection who are naive to HIV/HBV therapy, have detectable HBV viremia and are willing to start antiretroviral therapy.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
1HIV/Hepatitis coinfected patients who use at least one hepatitis activity drug or medications

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To characterize circulating and intra-hepatic anti-HBV T-cell responses longitudinally in HIV-1/HBV co-infected individuals, following effective anti-HBV therapy

    Measured: 48 weeks

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. To identify novel CD4 and CD8 T cell HBV epitopes associated with HBV clearance.

    Measured: 48 weeks

  2. To identify emergence of cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) "escape" mutants following anti-HBV therapy

    Measured: 48 weeks

  3. To determine the effect of HIV-1 co-infection and anti-HBV T-cell responses on clearance of free virions and HBV reservoirs using viral dynamic parameters and direct quantification of HBV hepatic reservoirs

    Measured: 48 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of HIV and Hepatitis-B, run by The HIV Netherlands Australia Thailand Research Collaboration at 1 site in Thailand.

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 4 inclusion and 1 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 7 Jun 2010. 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 Thailand. 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?

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To characterize circulating and intra-hepatic anti-HBV T-cell responses longitudinally in HIV-1/HBV co-infected individuals, following effective anti-HBV therapy (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 7 Jun 2010.
