Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Multi-dose Study of ARC-520 in Patients With Hepatitis B 'e' Antigen (HBeAg) Positive, Chronic Hepatitis B Virus Infection (NCT NCT02604212)

NCT ID: NCT02604212

Last Updated: 2026-01-13

Results Overview

Change From Baseline in log qHBsAg at Day 113 in response to multiple doses of ARC-520 versus placebo, using a a mixed effect model for repeated measures (MMRM). Includes parameter baseline as a continuous covariate, and treatment and visit as fixed factors, interaction of treatment and visit, and interaction of parameter baseline and visit.

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. A treatment emergent AE (TEAE) was defined as an AE that was not present prior to the first study drug administration and started at/after the time of initiation of administration of study drug, or an AE which was present prior to initiation of study drug administration, which increased in severity after study drug administration. An SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose: results in death; is life-threatening; requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of an existing hospitalization; results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity; is a congenital anomaly/birth defect; is a medically important event or reaction.
