About this study

Official title: Observation Study of Different Optimized Therapy Method of Patients With Chronic Hepatitis B

Along with the improvement of the accuracy of detection of HBV serological markers, the optimization of antiviral therapy for patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) infection becomes feasible. Currently, the recommendation of optimized treatment especially interferon therapy are mainly based on retrospective studies, it still lacks prospective evidence. This study is aimed to evaluate the efficacy, safety and pharmacoeconomics benefits of 48 weeks optimized interferon therapy (switch to telbivudine or plus adefovir dipivoxil) for HBeAg positive CHB with inadequate response to 24 weeks interferon treatment.

Read the detailed description

Patients with inadequate response to interferon therapy at 24 weeks were enrolled in this study and accepted the optimized therapy (add on ADV or switch to LDT) for 48weeks. All these patients were followed for 48 weeks and the HBeAg seroconversion and HBV DNA level were observed. Safety and the economic effect of the two optimized therapy methods also were observed.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Australia Antigen Positive and Hepatitis B, run by Changhai Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 1 inclusion and 4 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 20 Jun 2012. 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 China. 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?

HBeAg seroconversion rate (time frame: 48weeks). 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 20 Jun 2012.
