简要总结
This is a Phase 2a, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluating the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of AL-3778 in combination with Peg-IFN in subjects with Hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) positive CHB virus infection who are treatment-naïve.
The study will consist of a screening phase , a double-blind treatment phase followed by treatment with Peg-IFN alone, and a post-treatment follow-up phase.
Approximately 30 subjects to complete the study. Eligible subjects will be randomized into 2 treatment arms in a 2:1 ratio (active:placebo) to receive one of the following treatments:
- Arm A: Peg-IFN plus AL-3778 (N=20)
- Arm B: Peg-IFN plus matching placebo (N=10)

入选标准
- •A female subject must be of non-childbearing potential
- •Subjects must have CHB infection, documented by serologic profile consistent for CHB infection at screening:
- •serum HBsAg positive (for >6 months)
- •serum IgM anti-HBc negative
- •Subjects are treatment-naïve and are serum HBeAg positive with:
- •serum HBV DNA >=20,000 IU /mL at screening
- •HBsAg >250 IU/mL at screening
- •≥2× upper limit of normal (ULN) ALT and ≤5× ULN at screening
排除标准
- •Positive test for hepatitis A virus immunoglobulin, hepatitis delta antibody (Ab), hepatitis C Ab, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) Ab and/or evidence of clinically relevant active infection that would interfere with study conduct or its interpretation would also lead to exclusion.
- •Positive test for anti-HBs antibodies and anti-HBe antibodies.

- •Any history or current evidence of hepatic decompensation
- •Subjects must have absence of hepatocellular carcinoma
- •Subject with evidence of retinopathy on retinal fundus photographs
- •Exclusions related to interferon use for the purposes of this study
- •Subjects with one or more of the following laboratory abnormalities at screening
- •serum creatinine elevation >1.0× ULN
- •hemoglobin <11 g/dL [males], <10.5 g/dL [females]
- •platelet count <125× 109 cells/L
- •absolute neutrophil count <1.0× 109 cells/L
- •total bilirubin >1.0× ULN; unless known Gilbert's Disease or Dubin-Johnson Syndrome
- •Subjects having received an investigational agent or investigational vaccine, or having received a biological product within 12 weeks or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to baseline (first intake of study drugs).
