A Two-year Study of Telbivudine in HBeAg Negative Hepatitis — STEN  

Hepatitis B, Chronic Clinical Trial

Official title: A Two-year, Open-label, Virological Response Adaptive Design, Multicenter Study to Evaluate Efficacy of Telbivudine in HBeAg Negative Adult CHB Patients With Roadmap Strategy

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Based on GLOBE study supplying predictability analysis results, ROADMAP strategy provides an individualized telbivudine treatment roadmap strategy designed to achieve optimal viral suppression and low resistance rate in patients with chronic hepatitis B(CHB), which includes adding ADV treatment at different time points according to individual patient response. China CHB Guidelines (China Medical Association 2010) make impress on and confirm LDT ROADMAP strategy particularly, which may be a large potential to expand the naïve patients. We are lack of optimal model in HBeAg(-). In China HBeAg(-) is around 38% of total CHB patients. In GLOBE study, LdT treatment against HBeAg(-) patients with HBV DNA <7log showed a good 2 year efficacy, but we still look forward to more efficient treatment and lower resistance rate. This study complies with the principle of individualized therapy recommended and ethical principles. It is expected that this study design with individualized treatment approach may improve efficacy and lower the resistance rates. In addition, it will provide important information on how to bring greater benefits to patients with CHB.

Clinical Trial Description

This study is an open-label, multicenter, PCR response adaptive clinical study design, with intensification of treatment (addition of adefovir to telbivudine treatment) depending on HBV DNA level at week 24. All patients commence with Telbivudine 600mg daily. At week 24 they will be divided into 2 Groups according to virological response. Patients with PCR detectable HBV DNA will add on ADV(Group I). Patients with PCR undetectable HBV DNA(Group II)will continue telbivudine monotherapy. ADV will not be added on unless viral breakthrough occurs. ;
