Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of treatment using a combination of drugs (entecavir and pegylated interferon) in children ages 3-<18 years old with immunotolerant chronic hepatitis B.


Clinical Trial Description

This single arm treatment study was conducted by the pediatric centers within the National Institute of Diabetes Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK)-sponsored Hepatitis B Research Network (HBRN). Children age 3-<18 years with immunotolerant chronic hepatitis B (CHB) infection who fulfilled the entry criteria received entecavir as monotherapy for 8 weeks and then combination therapy with entecavir and pegylated interferon by weekly subcutaneous injection until week 48. Children were to be followed for 48 weeks after discontinuation of therapy (week 96 for those who completed 48 weeks of treatment). Assessment was undertaken at baseline, weeks 4, 8, 10, 12, 14, & 16, then every 4 weeks until week 48, and then 4, 8, 12, 24,36, and 48 weeks following treatment discontinuation corresponding to weeks 52, 56, 60, 72, 84 and 96 for those who received treatment for 48 weeks. Blood work was drawn to measure markers of viral and liver disease status and for research biospecimen banking. Participants were to receive therapy until week 48 and enter 48 weeks of follow-up thereafter. Participants who experienced a sustained elevation of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) were eligible to receive treatment as recommended by their hepatologist and continued to complete the study protocol. ;
