Clinical Trial Summary

Both tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) and tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) are potent antiviral agents for hepatitis B virus (HBV) and recommended by the American Association for the Study of Liver Disease (AASLD) as well as the European Association for the Study of Liver (EASL) guidelines for the treatment of nucleos(t)ide therapy induced HBV resistance. However, it is not clear if chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients with nucleos(t)ide treatment experience without genotypic mutations would be benefit from TAF therapy. Previous studies have observed that suboptimal response (SOR) following antiviral therapy with nucleos(t)ide treatment is associated with an increased risk of subsequent treatment failure and viral resistance. It remains unclear whether switching to TAF is a reasonable approach in patients with SOR to second-line antivirals Lamivudine (LAM)/ Telbivudine (LdT)/ Adefovir Dipivoxil (ADV) and its combinations with other second-line antivirals for 24 weeks, or SOR to the first-line antiviral Entecavir (ETV) or any antiviral combinations containing ETV for 48 weeks. This study is aimed to determine how the aforementioned patients with SOR to nucleos(t)ide treatment respond to TAF monotherapy. The investigator's study will provide evidence base for therapy selection in SOR patients, especially in China where the majority of patients with CHB are treated with nucleos(t)ide therapy.


Clinical Trial Description

This is a prospective, single-arm, multicenter cohort study evaluating the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of TAF monotherapy in in Asian CHB adults with SOR to the nucleos(t)ide therapy by assessing the HBV DNA suppression in 48 weeks. Approximately one hundred adults who received the aforementioned nucleos(t)ide therapy will be prospectively enrolled during the period from December 2019 to June 2021. Subjects will be enrolled by medical clinic in about 10 university centers in different regions in China. Approximately 10-15 consecutive eligible patients will be enrolled from each participating sites. This study will be conducted in accordance with the guidelines of Good Clinical Practices (GCPs) including Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval and consent will be applied. Patient identification (ID) will be de-identified for submitting to the central database for analyses from all study sites. Free TAF treatment will be provided to all enrolled patients for 48 weeks. Patients will be under the local standard of care upon the completion of the current study. Patients aged 18-80 with CHB infection who had received nucleos(t)ide therapy over 24 weeks of LAM/LdT/ADV or 48 weeks of ETV with medication adherence, but failure to achieve the levels of HBV-DNA below 300 IU/mL will be eligible. Subjects will be excluded if they meet the following criteria: co-infected with HIV or other viral hepatitis; the serum levels of HBV DNA are too low (i.e. about 300 IU/mL) to be analyzed for the genotypic mutation(s); nucleos(t)ide resistant mutants have been detected at screening visit, patient is under a clinical research protocol of phase I-III development; unable to consent or unlikely to complete one year follow up after the enrollment; and other medical condition may affect the ability to participate the study. ;
