Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Chronic Hepatitis B
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT02174276
Lead Sponsor
Gilead Sciences
Brief Summary

The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of GS-4774 in adults with CHB and who are currently not on treatment. Participants will be randomized to receive TDF alone or GS-4774 plus TDF for 20 weeks. After Week 20, GS-4774 will be discontinued. All participants will continue on TDF and will be followed for an additional 28 weeks. Following completion of the 48 week study period, all participants will be eligible for a treatment extension for 96 weeks.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Mean Change in Serum HBsAg From Baseline to Week 24Baseline to Week 24

The change from baseline to Week 24 in HBsAg was analyzed using a mixed effect model for repeated measures (MMRM). The model included treatment groups, ALT levels (\> ULN or ≤ ULN) at baseline, HBeAg status (positive or negative) at baseline, HBsAg level at baseline, visit and treatment-by-visit interaction as fixed effects and visit as a repeated measurement. Estimated least square means of treatment effects are presented with the 95% confidence intervals (CIs).
