Trial Outcomes & Findings for Ledipasvir/Sofosbuvir for Hepatitis B Virus Infection (NCT NCT03312023)

NCT ID: NCT03312023

Last Updated: 2021-09-20

Results Overview

Subjects with chronic hepatitis B will be give 12 weeks of ledipasvir and/or sofosbuvir and their HBsAg will be measured at baseline, on each visits during therapy, and at end of therapy (week 12). The change (decline) in HBsAg from baseline to end of the 12 week treatment will be compared.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 weeks

Population: Intention to treat population - all subjects who have received at least one study drug.

Subjects with chronic hepatitis B will be give 12 weeks of ledipasvir and/or sofosbuvir and their HBsAg will be measured at baseline, on each visits during therapy, and at end of therapy (week 12). The change (decline) in HBsAg from baseline to end of the 12 week treatment will be compared.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 weeks

Subjects with chronic hepatitis B will be give 12 weeks of ledipasvir and/or sofosbuvir and their serum hepatitis B DNA levels (HBV DNA) will be measured at baseline, on each visits during therapy, and at end of therapy (week 12). The change in HBV DNA levels from baseline to end of the 12 week treatment will be compared. Note: Group B (virally suppressed HBV subjects) - all had HBV DNA below the limit of detection; Hence, mean change was 0.
