Trial design

CTIS Part I — objectives, methods, condition coding

Main objective

Scope: Therapy, Safety

Investigate the contribution of ethnicity to the off-treatment viral outcomes following controlled nucleos(t)ide analogue cessation in start of treatment HBeAg negative chronic hepatitis B infection.

Secondary objectives 2

  1. Compare the occurance of HBsAg loss at week 72 after treatment stop and the time for reaching HBsAg loss between the Caucasian patients and the non-Caucasian patients.
  2. Estimate the cost-effectiveness of treatment cessation and make long-term projections.

Eligibility criteria

Principal inclusion / exclusion criteria as submitted by sponsor

Inclusion criteria 6

  1. >= 18 years old <= 75 years old
  2. Chronic hepatitis B, defined as HBsAg positive or HBV DNA positive >= 6 months
  3. Start of NA-treatment HBeAg negative
  4. Under continuous NA treatment
  5. HBV DNA below the local limit of quantification for at least 36 months at cessatino or <= 2log IU/mL for at least 48 months at cessation
  6. ALT <= 2x Upper Limit Normal (40 U/L) on 2 sequential measurements at least 6 months apart (one of which is at screening)

Exclusion criteria 12

  1. INR >1.3xULN (ULN = 1.1) (unless casued by anticoagulation therapy or vitamin K deficiency) at any point prior to or at the time of screening
  2. Total bilirubin >1.2xULN (ULN = 1.2 mg/dL) (unless there is documentation of a benign cause such as Gilbert's disease) at any point prior to or at the time of screening
  3. Fibrosis >= F3 in most recent biopsy
  4. Last Fibroscan result >9kPa and/or last ShearWave elastography (SWE) result >8.15 kPa. EASL clinical practice guidelines on non-invasive tests for liver fibrosis should be applied to determine the correctness and reliability of the elastography result, considering a max interquartile range/median of 30% and max ALT of 5xULN at elastography evaluation.
  5. Active confection: hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA positive, hepatitis delta virus (HDV) RNA positive, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antigen (Ag)-Antibody (Ab) positive
  6. Extrahepatic manifestations of chronic hepatitis B. This includes: polyarteritis nodosa, glomerulonephritis, serum sickness-like prodrome, essential mixed cryoglobulinemia, dermatologic manifestations, arthritic manifestations and neurologic manifestations.
  7. Immunocompromised individuals (for definitions cfr. Study Protocol or the National Health Service (NHS) criteria)
  8. Patients that have either an antecedent of or ongoing HCC
  9. Patients with a family history of HCC despite compliance to standard of care follow-up
  10. Pregancy or lactation
  11. Planned or recent (<6 months before inclusion) participation in other therapeutic interventional trials
  12. Ever receiving a HBV small interfering RNA (siRNA) investigational medicinal product

Endpoints

Primary and secondary outcome measures (English text)

Primary endpoints 1

  1. The primary endpoint of this study is the occurrence of viral control defined as HBV DNA ≤2000 IU/mL and ALT ≤2xULN 72 weeks after treatment cessation.

Secondary endpoints 1

  1. The secondary endpoint of this study is HBsAg loss at week 72 after treatment cessation.
