Study of VIR-2218 in Healthy Subjects and Patients With Chronic Hepatitis B

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Chronic Hepatitis B
Interventions
Drug: Placebo
Registration Number
NCT03672188
Lead Sponsor
Vir Biotechnology, Inc.
Brief Summary

This is a phase 1/2 study in which healthy adult subjects and subjects with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection will receive VIR-2218 or placebo and will be assessed for safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and antiviral activity (only in subjects with chronic HBV).

In the single ascending dose (SAD) part, Part A, healthy adult subjects will receive one dose of VIR-2218 or placebo, administered subcutaneously (SC). In the multiple ascending dose (MAD) parts, Part B \& Part C, subjects with chronic HBV infection will receive two doses of VIR-2218 or placebo every 4 weeks administered SC.

VIR-2218 and metabolite: Fraction excreted in the urine from time 0 to 24 h. Pooled Urine PK samples was collected at pre-specified intervals in the single ascending dose study of VIR-2218. Therefore, the following PK parameter, fraction excreted in the urine ( %fe 0-24h ) was only calculated in healthy subjects who participated in Part A of the study. This parameter was not listed as a secondary endpoint for parts B/C in the submitted protocol, and as such was not reported in this secondary outcome measures.

Therefore, the following PK parameter, apparent renal clearance (CLR/F) was only calculated in healthy subjects who participated in Part A of the study. This parameter was not listed as a secondary endpoint for parts B/C in the submitted protocol, and as such was not reported in this secondary outcome measures.
