A Trial To Evaluate The Efficacy And Safety Of Multiple Combination Therapies In Participants With Chronic Hepatitis B

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Hepatitis B, Chronic
Interventions
Drug: Nucleos(t)ide (NUC)
Drug: CpAM (RO7049389)
Drug: TLR7 (RO7020531)
Drug: siRNA (RO7445482)
Drug: PD-L1 LNA (RO7191863)
Drug: PEG-IFN
Registration Number
NCT04225715
Lead Sponsor
Hoffmann-La Roche
Brief Summary

This is a study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of New Molecular Entity (NME) combination therapies in Chronic Hepatitis B (CHB) participants with preserved liver function and without significant fibrosis/cirrhosis. The platform design allows comparison of multiple NME combination therapies against a common control, and introduction of additional treatment arms at later study time points. Each arm will consist of a screening phase (up to 8 weeks), treatment phase (up to 48 weeks) and post-treatment follow-up phase (48 weeks). The safety and efficacy will be monitored throughout the study.

Inclusion Criteria
  • Body mass index between 18 and 32 kg/m2 inclusive.
  • Participants with Chronic Hepatitis B (CHB) infection (HBsAg positive for >=6 months) who are on established NUC (entecavir or tenofovir alafenamide/disoproxil fumarate) monotherapy for >=12 months, having received the same NUC therapy for >=3 months prior to screening.
  • HBV DNA below the lower LLOQ or < 20 IU/mL for > 6 months prior to screening and confirmed at screening.
  • Alanine transaminase (ALT) <=1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) for > 6 months prior to screening and confirmed at screening.
  • Female Participants: Eligible to participate if she is not pregnant, not breastfeeding and agrees to remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or use highly effective contraceptive methods.
  • Male Participants: During the treatment period and for at least 6 months after the final dose of study treatment, agrees to remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse), use contraceptive measures and refrain from donating sperm.
Exclusion Criteria
  • Pregnant or lactating women.

  • History of or suspicion of Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC).
  • Thyroid disease poorly controlled on prescribed medications or clinically relevant abnormal thyroid function tests.
  • Clinically significant disease other than CHB that, in the opinion of the Investigator, makes the participant unsuitable for the study.
  • Pre-existing cardiac disease that in the opinion of the investigator would increase the risk for the participant to take part in the study.
  • History of alcohol abuse and/or drug abuse within one year of randomization.
  • History of having received (in the last 6 months) or currently receiving any systemic antineoplastic (including radiation) or immunosuppressive (including biologic immunosuppressors) or immune modulating treatment.
