Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

DCR-HBVS will be evaluated for safety and efficacy in healthy volunteers and chronic hepatitis B patients.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

DCR HBVS is being developed for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) in adults. The study will be conducted in 3 parts, a single ascending-dose (SAD) phase in normal healthy volunteers (Group A), a single-dose (SD) phase in patients with CHB (Group B), and a multiple ascending-dose (MAD) phase in patients with CHB (Group 1c-3c). Cohort 4c is a single ascending dose with a possible duration of up to 48 weeks. Cohort 5c is a multiple dose cohort with a possible duration of up to 72 weeks.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

SEQUENTIAL

Progression from the SAD phase to the first cohort in the MAD phase is contingent upon the Safety Review Committee (SRC) review of a minimum of 14 days post-dose safety and tolerability data from all NHV in at least the first 2 SAD cohorts. The SRC will select one (or more) well-tolerated dose(s) from the SAD phase for administration in the SD and MAD phases. Group B at 3 mg/kg will start in parallel with Group C at the 3 mg/kg dose level. In all study phases, dosing will be staggered with the use of sentinel participants to allow time for the assessment of safety before additional subjects are exposed to study drug. The fixed dosing regimen for Cohorts 4c and 5c was determined following SRC review and assessment of all data up to Cohort 3c. No sentinel dosing will occur in Cohorts 4c and 5c.
Primary Study Purpose

TREATMENT

Blinding Strategy

TRIPLE

Participants Caregivers Investigators
This is a double-blind study in which the study site team, the Sponsor, and the participants will be blinded to treatment assignment. The unblinded pharmacist will cover each syringe, prior to transport to the bedside, to ensure blinding. The drug will be injected by an unblinded nurse or physician who is not part of the study team. Participants will be centrally assigned to randomized study intervention using an Interactive Voice/Web Response System (IVRS/IWRS). Cohorts 4c and 5c will be open label.
