Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

  • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).


    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   44334   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The main objective of the study was to describe the efficacy of the combination therapy of Entecavir plus Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate at 48 weeks of treatment, in control of viral load Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) DNA <50 IU/mL in chronic HBV infected subjects who have failed previous treatment.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was in compliance with the ethical principles derived from the Declaration of Helsinki and in compliance with all International Conference on Harmonization Good Clinical Practice Guidelines. All the local regulatory requirements pertinent to safety of trial subjects were followed.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    144 enrolled; 92 treated. Reasons for 52 never treated: physical/laboratory test findings 30; not in target population 21; no signed consent 7; medical history/concurrent disease 2; other exclusion criteria 1; unknown 3.

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects reported to be in the baseline period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: Out of the 144 enrolled, only 92 subjects were treated. Reasons for 52 never treated: physical/laboratory test findings 30; not in target population 21; no signed consent 7; medical history/concurrent disease 2; other exclusion criteria 1; unknown 3. Few subjects had more than one reason for not being treated.

    Notes
    [2] - The number of subjects starting the period is not consistent with the number completing the preceding period. It is expected the number of subjects starting the subsequent period will be the same as the number completing the preceding period.
    Justification: Of the 86 subjects who completed treatment, 3 subjects were lost to follow-up, but 2 subjects who did not complete treatment went into the post-dosing phase, bringing the total entering follow-up to 85 subjects.

Percentage was calculated using non-completer=failure, defined as the number of subjects with virologic response at Week 48 divided by the number of treated subjects. An exact binomial 95% confidence interval was constructed. HBV DNA by polymerase chain reaction was measured in using the Roche COBAS(REGISTERED) TaqMan - High Pure System assay in IU/mL, with the limit of quantification=29 IU/mL and lower limit of detection=6 IU/mL.

    HBsAg seroconversion was defined as being both HBsAg-negative and hepatitis B surface antibody (HBsAb)-positive at Weeks 24, 48, and 96 in those subjects who had been HBsAg-positive at baseline. The method used was an Immunoassay testing – ADVIA CENTAUR from SIEMENS: in vitro diagnostic immunoassay for the qualitative and quantitative determination of HBsAg in human serum and plasma [potassium ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, lithium or sodium heparinized]. Percentage was calculated using non-completer=failure, defined as number of subjects with HBs seroconversion at Weeks 24 and 48 divided by the number of treated subjects who were HBsAg-positive at baseline. Positive result for HBsAg was one of the inclusion criteria. An exact binomial 95% confidence interval was constructed. Baseline was last measurement before or on Day 1 of study drug. All treated subjects who were HBsAg-positive at baseline were analyzed.

    Number of Subjects With Emergence of Genotypic Resistance to Study Drugs at Weeks 48 and 96 - Treated Population
    End point description
    Testing of Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) genotype was performed at baseline for all treated subjects and for subjects at Weeks 48 and 96 with primary non-response or virologic breakthrough. Emergent genotypic resistance to study drugs was defined as follows: Emergent=on-treatment substitution not present at baseline; entecavir resistance: subject’s sample had rtM204V/I/S and any substitution at rtT184, rtS202, or rtM250; tenofovir resistance: subject’s sample had rtA181T/V or rtN236T. Primary non-response was defined as <1 log10 decrease in HBV DNA from baseline on treatment at or after Week 12. Virologic breakthrough was defined as >=1 log10 increase in HBV DNA over nadir on treatment, either confirmed on treatment or last on-treatment followed by discontinuation of study therapy. n=number of subjects analyzed at Weeks 48 and 96.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    22 Dec 2009
    The purpose of this amendment was to provide protocol revisions in line with feedback received from the European Union Competent Authority and with the Summary of Product Characteristics for tenofovir.
    18 Jan 2011
    The purpose of this amendment was to: change the 24-hr Emergency Telephone Number; change the required number of enrolled and treated subjects, as well as the screening failure rate; replace, based on the current targeted number of treated subjects, the semi-width of the 95% confidence interval (CI) for a range of observed response rates, from 10% to 13.2%; change the number of subjects to be included in the interim analysis; clarify the sub-criteria for partial virological response; replace based on the current targeted number of treated subjects, the calculation of the 95% CI for the observed proportion from a 95% CI based on normal approximation into an exact binomial 95% CI; clarify the timing of the main (Week 48) and final (Week 96) analysis.
