What is being measured

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

  1. To assess the safety (the incidence of clinical adverse events and discontinuations due to adverse events)

    Measured: Week 52 (end of dosing) plus 5 days

  2. To assess the proportion of subjects with reduction in HBV DNA by ≥ 2 log10 or to undetectable level (< 400 copies/mL)

    Measured: at Week 48

Secondary outcomes (14)
  1. Mean change from baseline in the log*10* HBV DNA measured by PCR assay for each entecavir dose (0.5 and 1 mg) at Week 48

    Measured: Baseline, Week 48

  2. Proportion of subjects who achieve undetectable HBV DNA (<400 copies/mL) by PCR assay at Week 48

    Measured: Week 48

  3. Proportion of subjects HBeAg-positive at baseline who have loss of HBeAg from serum at Week 48

    Measured: Week 48

  4. Proportion of subjects HBeAg-positive at baseline who achieve seroconversion (loss of HBeAg and appearance of HBeAb) at Week 48

    Measured: Week 48

  5. Proportion of subjects with abnormal ALT at baseline who achieve normalization of serum ALT (<1.25 x ULN) at Week 48

    Measured: Week 48

  6. Proportion of subjects HBeAg-positive at baseline who have complete response (undetectable HBV DNA levels by PCR assay, negative for HBeAg and normal serum ALT) at Week 48

    Measured: Week 48

  7. Proportion of subjects HBeAg-negative at baseline who have undetectable HBV DNA levels by PCR assay, remain negative for HBeAg and normal serum ALT at Week 48

    Measured: Week 48

  8. Proportion of subjects w/ histological improvement in liver (improvement in necroinflammatory score (≥2 points decrease, Knodell HAI3 score) & no worsening of fibrosis (≥1 point increase, Knodell fibrosis score) at Wk 48 liver biopsy compared to baseline

    Measured: Baseline, Week 48

  9. Changes in liver histology as assessed by the New Inuyama Classification for histological assessment of chronic hepatitis

    Measured: Week 52

  10. Relationship between HBV isolates (genotypes A,B,C, etc.) at baseline and antiviral activity

    Measured: Week 48, or at end of dosing (up to Week 52)

  11. Incidence of resistance mutations of HBV isolates in subjects who have a rise in HBV DNA (by ≥1 log above the nadir for that subject) while on study drug.

    Measured: Week 48, or at end of dosing (up to Week 52)

  12. Mutation of HBV DNA polymerase at Week 48 from baseline

    Measured: Baseline, Week 48

  13. Plasma concentrations of entecavir at selected time points during the treatment period

    Measured: pre-dosing, Week 2 or 4, Week 12, Week 24 and Week 36

  14. Population pharmacokinetic assessment of entecavir developed from concentration-time data obtained from healthy subjects

    Measured: pre-dosing, Week 2 or 4, Week 12, Week 24 and Week 36

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Entecavir in people with Chronic Hepatitis B, run by Bristol-Myers Squibb at 16 sites in Japan.

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 6 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 31 Jan 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 16 sites in Japan. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To assess the safety (the incidence of clinical adverse events and discontinuations due to adverse events) (time frame: Week 52 (end of dosing) plus 5 days). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01037166, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 31 Jan 2011.
