About this study

Official title: The Effect of Metabolic Syndrome on Antiviral Response in People With Chronic Hepatitis B: a Prospective, Multicenter, Real-world Study

Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) affects an estimated 292 million people, and causes approximately 800,000 people deaths per year from liver-related complications including cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma, remaining a major global public health issue.Meanwhile, the rising incidence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) is another grim health burden. Combined MetS affects the metabolic function of hepatocytes, which are responsible for providing HBV replication. Antiviral therapy is an effective measure to reduce the risk of cirrhosis and liver cancer in patients with chronic CHB. Combined MetS may affect the antiviral efficacy in patients with CHB.This prospective observational study examines the differences in HBeAg serological conversion rates between HBeAg-positive CHB patients with and without MS who received first-line oral antivirals for 144 weeks.

Antiviral therapy is an effective measure to reduce the risk of cirrhosis and liver cancer in patients with chronic CHB. Combined MetS may affect the antiviral efficacy in patients with CHB.This prospective observational study examines the differences in baseline clinical characteristics and the value of predicting HBeAg seroconversion rates at 144 weeks in HBeAg-positive CHB patients with and without MetS, and examines the differences in HBeAg seroconversion rates, degree of HBsAg decline, biochemical recurrence rates and HBV DNA negativity between HBeAg-positive CHB patients with and without MetS at 48 weeks, 96 weeks and 144 weeks of treatment.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic Hepatitis b, run by The Affiliated Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School.

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 7 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Mar 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Jie Li, M.D., Ph.D (15863787910, lijier@sina.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Difference of HBeAg seroconversion rate between HBeAg-positive CHB patients with and without metabolic syndrome after 144 weeks of first-line oral antiviral treatment (time frame: 144 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 19 Mar 2024.
