About this study

Official title: Pharmacoepidemiology Study to Define the Long-term Safety Profile of Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate (Tenofovir DF, Viread®) and Describe the Management of Tenofovir DF-associated Renal and Bone Toxicity in Chronic Hepatitis B (CHB)-Infected Adolescents Aged 12 to <18 Years in Europe

The primary objective of this study is to characterize the long term (ie, 96 weeks of follow up) bone safety profile of open-label tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (tenofovir DF) treatment in CHB-infected adolescents. This includes prospectively evaluating and comparing the bone mineral density (BMD) change between CHB-infected adolescents 12 to < 18 years of age treated with tenofovir DF in European treatment centers who are assigned to one of two schedules for renal and bone laboratory monitoring and BMD measurement.

What participants receive

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

  • Tenofovir DFDrug

    Also called Viread®

    300 mg tablet administered orally once daily for up to 96 weeks

  • DEXA ScanRadiation

    Dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scans administered at protocol-specified time points

Study groups in NCT02479880
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Tenofovir DF + increased bone/renal monitoringOtherParticipants will receive tenofovir DF, plus laboratory bone biomarker testing and lumbar spine and whole-body DEXA scans every 24 weeks from baseline to Week 96 (5 scans), and monitoring of renal function at 4 and 12 weeks after baseline and every 12 weeks thereafter. With the exception of an enhanced monitoring protocol for bone and renal outcomes, participants will be managed according to local standards of care.
Receives: Drug: Tenofovir DF; Radiation: DEXA Scan
Tenofovir DF + prespecified bone monitoringOtherParticipants will receive tenofovir DF, plus laboratory bone biomarker testing and lumbar spine and whole-body DEXA scans at baseline, Week 48, and Week 96. With the exception of pre-specified bone monitoring, participants will be managed according to local standards of care.
Receives: Drug: Tenofovir DF; Radiation: DEXA Scan

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Tenofovir DF and DEXA Scan in people with Hepatitis B, run by Gilead Sciences at 11 sites in 7 countries.

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 7 inclusion and 6 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 May 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 11 sites in Romania, Spain, Belgium, France, Greece and 2 more countries. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 20 May 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Percentage of Participants With Bone-Related Adverse Events and/or a ≥ 4% Reduction in Bone Mineral Density (BMD) From Baseline to Week 96 (time frame: Baseline to Week 96). 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 May 2019.
