Safety and Efficacy Study of LB80380 in the Patients With Lamivudine-Refractory Chronic Hepatitis B

Chronic Hepatitis B Clinical Trial

Official title: A PhaseII, Open-Label, Multinational, Multi-Centre, Sequential Group, Dose-Escalation Study to Assess the Safety and Antiviral Activity of LB80380 for 12 Weeks in Patients With Lamivudine-Refractory Chronic Hepatitis B

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of the study is to investigate the safety and the antiviral activity of ascending multiple oral doses of LB80380 for 12 weeks in adults with lamivudine-refractory chronic hepatitis B infection.

Clinical Trial Description

LB80380, an oral prodrug, is a promising candidate nucleoside analogue with antiviral activity against wild-type HBV. LB80380 is undergoing clinical development by LG Life Sciences for use in the treatment of chronic HBV infection and for treatment of lamivudine-resistant disease.

In this study, the treatment period was divided into two parts: a 4-week treatment period with dose escalation assessment (Part 1), followed by an 8-week extension period (Part 2).

During Part 1, patients received LB80380 and LVD 100 mg once daily for 4 weeks. Each patient was then given only LB80380 for an additional 8 weeks (Part 2) unless dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) was observed during Part 1. At each dose level, all patients were to complete at least Part 1 of the treatment period before enrolment into the next Dose Group could commence. Dose escalation to the next group was not to be initiated if more than two patients experienced DLT during Part 1 in the previous Dose Group. Additionally, patients enrolled in LB80380 150mg and 240mg groups who agreed to participate in the pharmacokinetic (PK) analyses visited the study site the day before Week 12 for blood sampling. Follow-up period was 24 weeks, and patients were treated with adefovir dipivoxil during the follow-up period. During the study, patients were evaluated for changes from baseline in serum HBV DNA. Safety was evaluated on the basis of occurrence of AEs and changes from baseline in clinical laboratory parameters, physical examination findings, and vital signs. ;
