Phase 3
Completed
Conditions

Interventions
Drug: TAF
Drug: TDF
Drug: TDF Placebo
Drug: TAF Placebo
Registration Number
NCT01940471
Lead Sponsor
Gilead Sciences
Brief Summary

The primary objective of this study is to compare the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) versus tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) in treatment-naive and treatment-experienced adults with hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)-positive chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection.

Detailed Description

This study GS-US-320-0110 is a multi-center clinical trial planned to enroll participants in multiple countries, including China. However, due to the review timeline difference in China, full enrollment was reached in the main study before China was able to participate. Therefore, details for the China cohort are registered separately (NCT02836249) on ClinicalTrials.gov as this cohort will not be part of the main study analysis.
