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   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The primary objective of this study was to compare the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) versus tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) in treatment-naive and treatment-experienced adults with hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)-negative chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Results presented include Week 384 final data for the main study (Global cohorts) and Week 48 interim data for China study.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The protocol and consent/assent forms were submitted by each investigator to a duly constituted Independent Ethics Committee (IEC) or Institutional Review Board (IRB) for review and approval before study initiation. All revisions to the consent/assent forms (if applicable) after initial IEC/IRB approval were submitted by the investigator to the IEC/IRB for review and approval before implementation in accordance with regulatory requirements. This study was conducted in accordance with recognized international scientific and ethical standards, including but not limited to the International Conference on Harmonization guideline for Good Clinical Practice (ICH GCP) and the original principles embodied in the Declaration of Helsinki.
    Background therapy
    This study was conducted globally in multiple countries including China. As enrollment began later on clinicaltrials.gov, it has separately registered. Global study has NCT identifier - NCT01940341 and China study has identifier - NCT02836236.

    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: Global study - One participant randomised to TDF arm did not receive treatment. China study - One participant randomised to TAF arm did not receive treatment.

    Full Analysis Set included participants who were randomized into the study and received at least 1 dose of study drugs. Participants were analyzed according to the treatment to which they were randomized. A Missing = Failure approach was employed for the efficacy endpoints, in which all missing data will be treated as not achieving the endpoint.

    Statistical analysis description
    The null hypothesis was that the TAF group is at least 10% worse than the TDF group with respect to the proportion of participants with HBV DNA < 29 IU/mL at Week 48. The alternative hypothesis was that the TAF group is less than 10% worse than the TDF group with respect to the proportion of participants with HBV DNA < 29 IU/mL at Week 48. Noninferiority was assessed using a 95% CI, with a noninferiority margin of 10%. Data adjusted by baseline HBV DNA categories+oral antiviral treatment status.

    Notes
    [1] - Sample sizes of 130 and 260 participants in the TDF and TAF groups, respectively, were planned to give 84% power to rule out the noninferiority margin of 10% at a 1-sided significance level of 0.025. This sample size based on the assumption that expected difference (TAF−TDF) in proportion of participants with HBV DNA < 29 IU/mL was 0 and the proportion of participants with HBV DNA < 29 IU/mL in TDF group=69%. Missing data=not achieving the primary endpoint.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    12 Jul 2013
    ● Extended the double-blind phase from 48 to 96 weeks and added Week 96 evaluations to other secondary objectives, as applicable ● Changed the primary efficacy endpoint of proportion of subjects with HBV DNA levels at Week 48 from below 69 IU/mL to below 29 IU/mL ● Replaced eGFR with serum creatinine as a key secondary safety objective ● Extended duration of ophthalmologic substudy to 144 weeks, with additional ophthalmologic assessment at Weeks 72, 96, and 144 ● Clarified and revised study entry criteria ● Updated statistical section to reflect changes in objectives and to better define analyses of key secondary efficacy and safety endpoints ● Revised the number of subjects for PK substudy from 30 subjects to approximately 16 subjects ● Added section for Management of Potential Posterior Uveitis Cases and section for Multiplicity Adjustments
    04 Dec 2013
    Lowered the entry criteria for estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) from ≥ 60 mL/min to ≥ 50 mL/min ● Clarified and revised study entry criteria ● Added clarification regarding subjects who elected an evening study drug dosing schedule: such individuals were no longer required to undergo in-clinic dosing and population PK blood draws at the Week 4 and 12 visits ● Updated statistical analysis methods for key secondary endpoints to align with the TAF HIV Phase 3 development program ● Added cystatin C to the baseline assessments to accommodate the revision to toxicity management for possible nephrotoxicity ● Updated information about the drug formulation for TDF, the comparator, to include the formulation used in developing markets ● Updated information on the management of potential nephrotoxicity ● Added reflex testing for HEV in the event of an ALT elevation
    20 Feb 2015
    This protocol change was only applicable for China: ● Added the number of subjects to be enrolled in China ● Specified that the dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan procedure at all protocol-specified visits would be performed only at sites that have the capability ● Added statement that fracture risk assessment at the baseline visit was intended for sites with DXA capability only ● Added hepatitis E virus (HEV) testing as a reflex test for subjects who discontinued study drug and had confirmed ALT elevation ● Updated the Gilead Grading Scale for Severity of Adverse Events and Laboratory Abnormalities to reconcile with the scale that was employed in the global program via an administrative letter
    05 Feb 2016
    ● Extended the blinded period of the study to Week 144 (from Week 96). ● Extended the open label period of the study to Week 384 (from Week 144). ● Updated the last study visit date of treatment from Week 144/Early Discontinuation (ED) to Week 384/ED. ● Added 10 study visits (Week 168, 192, 216, 240, 264, 288, 312, 336, 360, and 384/ED) to be conducted during the additional 5 years of the study. ● Revised visit Week numbers to accommodate extension of blinded and open label periods of the study. ● Clarified when open label study drug is to be dispensed to participants who rollover to open-label TAF treatment following Amendment 1 or 2, and under Amendment 3. ● Clarified visit windows for analysis timepoints (Weeks 48, 96, and 144) to be in alignment with DXA windows. ● Added hepatic ultrasound for surveillance of hepatocellular carcinoma every 24 weeks from visit Week 96 to Week 384/ED.
