E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
• To compare in HBcAb- positive and HBsAg-negative haematological cancer patients, the prophylactic use of TDF versus observation assessed as the percentage of patients who experienced HBV reactivation (seroreversion or reappearance of the HBsAg) in plasma and/or an increase of HBV DNA levels ≥ 1 log10 IU/mL compared with the baseline value during the 18 months after the starting of treatment with rituximab |
• Comparar, en pacientes hematológicos Anti-HBc positivo y AgHBs negativo, el tratamiento antiviral profiláctico con TDF versus observación, para evaluar el porcentaje de pacientes que sufren una reactivación del VHB (seroreversión: reaparición del antígeno de superficie, AgHBs positivo, y/o elevación de la carga viral ≥ 1 log10 IU/ml sobre la lectura basal) durante los 18 meses posteriores al inicio del tratamiento con rituximab. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
•To asses the proportions of patients in each treatment group that experience reactivation of the VHB during the trial. Patients were considered to experience reactivation of the VHB when they satisfied at least on e of the following criteria: Seroreversion: reappearance of the surface antigen (HBsAg) in plasma An elevation of HBV DNA levels ≥ 10-fold compared with the baseline value •To asses the incidence of hepatitis and liver failure or decompensation •To asses overall survival of patients •To asses the proportion of patients that discontinued the trial due to adverse clinical reactions or laboratory abnormalities related to TDF. |
• Evaluación de la proporción de pacientes que muestran una reactivación del VHB durante toda su participación en el estudio, definiendo la reactivación por 2 criterios opcionales -Seroreversión: reaparición del antígeno de superficie (AgHBs positivo) - Elevación de la carga viral: ≥ 1 log10 (IU/ml) sobre la lectura basal • Evaluar la incidencia de hepatitis, fallo o descompensación hepáticos. • Evaluar la supervivencia global de los pacientes. • Evaluar la proporción de pacientes que debe abandonar el estudio por acontecimientos adversos clínicos o por anomalías de laboratorio relacionados con TDF. |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
• Proportion of patients that experience a reactivation of HBV after 18 months of treatment with rituximab. Patients were considered to experience reactivation of the VHB when they satisfied at least on e of the following criteria: - Seroreversion: reappearance of the surface antigen (HBsAg) in plasma - An elevation of HBV DNA levels ≥ 10 log10 IU/mL compared with the baseline value *Viral load will be determined preferably through ADN-VHB COBAS Ampliprep Taqman HBV. Hospitals without access to this technique will use the quantification methods ordinarily used in their hospital in clinical practice: COBAS-Amplicor HBV Monitor Test; Roche Diagnostics, PCR assay (LightCycler – FastStart DNA Master, Roche Diagnostic, Mannheim, Germany) or any other |
• Evaluación de la proporción de pacientes que muestran una reactivación del VHB durante los 18 meses posteriores al inicio de tratamiento con rituximab, definiendo la reactivación por 2 criterios opcionales (uno, otro o los dos) o Seroreversión: reaparición del antígeno de superficie (AgHBs positivo) o Elevación de la carga viral: ≥ 1 log10 (IU/ml) sobre la lectura basal Las determinaciones de la carga viral (niveles de ADN-VHB) se llevarán a cabo preferentemente mediante la técnica cuantitativa de detección de ADN-VHB COBAS Ampliprep Taqman HBV, con un límite de detección (LDD) de 3,4 UI/ml. Sin embargo, en caso de no utilizarse en los centros la técnica descrita anteriormente, las determinaciones de la carga viral (niveles de ADN-VHB) se llevarán a cabo mediante la técnica cuantitativa de detección de ADN-VHB que se utilice en la práctica clínica habitual en cada uno de los centros participantes: - COBAS-Amplicor HBV Monitor Test; Roche Diagnostics, con un LDD de 40 UI/ml. - PCR assay (LightCycler – FastStart DNA Master, Roche Diagnostic, Mannheim, Germany) con un LDD de 200 UI/ml. |

E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
•Proportion of patients in the three groups of treatment that have experienced a HBV reactivation during the clinical trial. Patients were considered to experience reactivation of the VHB when they satisfied at least one of the following criteria: - Seroreversion: reappearance of the surface antigen (HBsAg) in plasma - An elevation of HBV DNA levels ≥ 10 log10 IU/mL compared with the baseline value • Incidence of hepatitis and liver failure or decompensation • HBsAg titers in the different treatment groups (when available) • Overall patient-survival • Safety evaluation (adverse reaction and renal function parameters) in the different treatment groups. |
