Chronic Hepatitis B Clinical Trial
Official title:
Sodium-glucose Co-transporter-2 Inhibitor (SGLT2i) to Prevent of Liver Complications in Patients With Chronic Hepatitis B and Diabetes Mellitus: a Double-blind, Randomised, Placebo-controlled Trial
This is a five-year, double blinded, randomised trial of dapagliflozin versus placebo in patients with chronic hepatitis B and DM or IFG complicated with compensated advanced chronic liver disease (cACLD). 412 subjects will be recruited. Subject will be randomly assigned to receive dapagliflozin 10mg daily or dapagliflozin placebo one tablet daily for up to 5 years. After randomization, subject will be followed up at month 3, month 6 and then 6-monthly until 60 months (follow up ± 4 weeks from scheduled clinic visit is allowed). At each visit, drug compliance, physical examination, observed or reported adverse events will be assessed. 10ml of blood will be taken at each visit and transient elastography to assess fibrosis regression will be performed at 60th month or at withdrawal visit. You are discouraged to use (pegylated)-interferon, any other NA including lamivudine, adefovir, and telbivudine, another SGLT2i Empagliflozin (Jardiance), Dapagliflozin + Metformin XR (Xigduo).
Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a global health problem affecting approximately 234 million people worldwide; of those three-quarter come from the Asia-Pacific region.1 Up to 30%-40% of chronically infected persons will die of liver complications, including liver cancer and cirrhotic complications.2 The Global Burden of Disease Study 2016 revealed HBV as one of the top ten killers worldwide.3 Chronic HBV infection also represents a major global economic burden; with increasing socioeconomic costs.4 Majority of the liver complications and deaths is related to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) because of its high incidence rate and unfavourable clinical course.5 Sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) is a potent antidiabetic agent that lowers blood glucose by inducing renal glycosuria.15 SGLT2i reduces cardiovascular and renal events by marked cardiac anti-fibrotic and anti-inflammatory effects,16 on top of dramatic weight reduction.6 A recent open-label, pilot study of nine patients with biopsy-proven non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) with type 2 DM received a SGLT2i (empagliflozin) 25 mg daily, for 24 weeks. SGLT2i led to histological improvement in steatosis, ballooning, and fibrosis, compared with historical placebo.7 SGLT2i also leads to more significant reduction of ALT.8 Several other randomised trials and cohort studies supported that SGLT2i also reduces liver fat content and liver fibrosis scores. SGLT2i has additional benefits on liver histology compared to other antidiabetic agents.8 The key pathways include control of hepatic inflammation and fibrosis, improvement of insulin resistance, and reduction of hepatic steatosis. The related mechanisms involve inflammatory parameters like high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, proinflammatory cytokines like interleukin-6 or TNF-alpha, reactive oxygen species and the inhibition of AMPc activation. The improvement was correlated with reductions in body weight, waist circumference and inflammatory parameters. The improvement was not correlated with changes in glucose control.9 All these favourable effects on liver have make it potentially useful to reduce liver complications. Chronic hepatitis B is major cause of liver complications and death. Antiviral treatment with oral nucleos(t)ide analogues reduces but not abolish the risk of liver complications, especially in those with diabetes mellitus. Sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) are promising in improving liver outcome in patients with chronic hepatitis B and diabetes mellitus. Our preliminary data provide strong plausibility that SGLT2i reduces the risk of liver complications. We are going to provide the definitive answer to this important clinical question through a randomised trial. ;
