About this study

  • Primary objective: The main objective of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of a sandwich combination therapy in patients who were infected with HBV or have undergone surgery for hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The primary efficacy endpoints are HBsAg seroconversion rate (HBsAg disappearance and HBsAb appearance), and HCC recurrence rate at week 49. Secondary Objective: To evaluate the safety of the HBV sandwich combination therapy through various safety indicators. Safety Indicators as follows: 1) Vital Signs: Monitoring systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulse, respiration, and body temperature; 2) Physical Examination: Comprehensive physical assessments during the study; 3) 12-lead Electrocardiogram: Conducted to monitor cardiac health; 4) Clinical Laboratory Tests: Including blood routine, urine routine, blood biochemistry (focusing on liver and kidney function), coagulation function; 5) Injection Site Reactions: Monitoring for any local adverse effects from injections; 6) Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs): Documentation of any AEs or SAEs occurring during treatment.
  • Study Design: This study comprises three distinct stages:
  1. Screening Period (Weeks -4 to -1): 1) Informed consent will be obtained from participants; 2) Collect baseline data and perform various assessments which include: a) 12-lead ECG; b) Infectious disease screening; c) Blood biochemistry, routine blood, urine routine, coagulation function; d) Blood pregnancy test (for female subjects); e) Hepatitis B virus and serology examination; f) Antinuclear antibody testing; g) Imaging examinations.
  2. Treatment Period (Weeks 1 to 25): 1) Patients will receive ongoing nucleoside analogue treatment (NAs) throughout this stage; 2) Administer subcutaneous injections of the HBV monoclonal antibody HT-102 weekly for a total of 4 weeks (300 mg each time); 3) After treatment with HT-102, HBV serological and virological assessments will occur; 4) If serum HBsAg is below 10 IU/mL, proceed with therapeutic hepatitis B vaccine FD-001 (60 µg each time) every 4 weeks for a total of 6 doses; 5) If HBsAg is not below 10 IU/mL post HT-102, participants will enter the follow-up period directly.
  3. Follow-up Phase (Weeks 25 to 49): 1) Continue with original nucleoside analogue treatment for HBV; 2) Conduct follow-up visits every 12 weeks; 3) Each visit will involve recording vital signs, conducting physical examinations, ECG, laboratory tests (as noted in safety indicators), and testing for HBV and immunological parameters.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 15 inclusion and 14 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Jul 2025. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact GAO, Doctor (086-021-64041990-2047, gaoqiang@fudan.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Positive convention rate of HBsAb (time frame: through study completion, an average of 49 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 28 Jul 2025; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
