简要总结
Multicenter, Open-label, Single arm Trial with Matched Historical controls. Male and female adults with compensated liver cirrhosis due to chronic hepatitis B virus infection who have low-level viremia.
To assess the efficacy of Tenofovir Alafenamide (TAF) in reducing liver-related events (hepatocellular carcinoma, liver-related events and death, decompensated liver cirrhosis) in cirrhotic chronic hepatitis B patients with low-level viremia compared with matched historical controls.
详细描述
- This clinical trial is a multicenter, open label, single arm study in cirrhotic chronic hepatitis B patients with low-level viremia.
- Approximately 200 subjects meeting eligibility criteria will be enrolled and randomized (1:2) to Treatment Arm (A) or , Matched Historical Controls Arm (B), as below:
- Treatment Arm (A): 200 subjects, TAF 25mg once daily with food for 3 years
- Matched Historical Controls Arm (B): 400 subjects, patients who did not receive antiviral treatment during their follow-up period, and matched with the treatment group in a 1:1 ratio according to their baseline characteristics
- Treatment Arm is scheduled to be followed up to 3 years.
The analysis population of this study consists of the Full Analysis Set (FAS), which can evaluate efficacy. The treatment group includes patients who received any dose of study medication (TAF), while the control group consists of patients who did not receive antiviral treatment and were matched by propensity score (PS) from those under observation. Unless otherwise specified, the FAS will be used for primary and secondary efficacy endpoints.
Statistical analyses for the primary efficacy endpoint will be performed at a two-sided significance level of 5%, aligned with the sample size calculation.
PS will be estimated using logistic regression, incorporating variables such as age, gender, HBeAg positivity, HBV DNA level, ALT, platelet count, albumin, total bilirubin, creatinine, prothrombin time, diabetes, hypertension, and family history of hepatocellular carcinoma. The groups will be matched 1:2 using nearest neighbor matching. Baseline characteristics between the matched groups will be compared using standardized mean difference (SMD), with an absolute SMD <0.1 indicating good balance.

- •Age ≥30 years and ≤80 years at the time of screening
- •Chronic hepatitis B infection defined as HBsAg (+) or HBV DNA (+) for at least 6 months prior to the Screening visit, or medical records indication a chronic hepatitis B virus infection by meeting all of the following criteria at the time of screening. (1) HBsAg (+), (2) HBV DNA (+), and (3) HBcAb IgM (-)
- •Either HBeAg (+) or HBeAg (-)
- •Serum HBV DNA levels ≥20 IU/mL and <2,000 IU/mL at the time of screening
- •Evidence of liver cirrhosis defined as meeting any of the following criteria:
- •Radiological evidence of liver cirrhosis by ultrasound, CT, or MRI
- •Platelet count <150,000 /mm3
- •Presence of esophageal or gastric varices by endoscopy in 2 years before the timing of screening
- •Clinically significant portal hypertension
- •Fibroscan ≥12.0 kPa (if the test was done in 6 months before the time of screening)
- •Estimated creatinine clearance ≥30 ml/min (by calculation of creatinine clearance or using the CKD-EPI equation)
- •Ability to comply with all study requirements
排除标准
- •Confirmed known co-infection with HCV, HIV, or HDV
- •Current alcohol (60g/day) or substance abuse judged by the investigator that will potentially interfere with subject compliance
- •Any history of, or current evidence of, clinical hepatic decompensation (e.g., ascites, encephalopathy, variceal hemorrhage, or Child-Pugh score of ≥8, with the exception of Gilbert syndrome) in 1 year before the time of screening
- •Currently on or have received therapy with Interferon or immunosuppressant (including systemic chemotherapy) within 12 months prior to the screening
- •Requirement for chronic use of systemic immunosuppressant including, but not limited to, corticosteroid (prednisone equivalent of >40 mg/day for >2 weeks), azathioprine, or monoclonal antibodies
- •Received solid organ or bone marrow transplant
- •History of severe, life-threatening or other significant sensitivity to any excipients of the study drugs
- •Any other clinical conditions (cardiovascular, respiratory, neurologic, or renal conditions) or prior therapy that, in the opinion of the investigator, would make the subject unsuitable for the study or unable to comply with dosing requirements.
- •Currently on or have received antiviral treatment for ≥ 2 weeks within 6 months prior to the screening
- •History or current evidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), or high α-fetoprotein (AFP) > 20 ng/mL. But, the patients with AFP > 20 ng/mL can be enrolled if AFP shows decreasing trend and there is no evidence of HCC by dynamic CT or MRI)
- •Malignancy other than hepatocellular carcinoma within the 5 years prior to screening, with the exception of specific cancers that are cured by surgical resection (within 2 years prior to screening with confirmation of no evidence of disease). Subjects under evaluation for possible malignancy are not eligible.
- •Concurrent enrollment in another clinical study for other type of antiviral treatment for CHB or immune modulatory drug within 3 months prior to randomization, participation to an observational (non-interventional) clinical studies or interventional studies not using anti-HBV or immune modulatory drugs, or during the follow-up period of an interventional study are not exclusion criteria.
- •Pregnant women, women who are breastfeeding or who believe they may wish to become pregnant during the course of the study
