Optimized Treatment of Peginterferon Alfa 2a/2b in Anti-virus Treatment Naive Patients With HBV Related Liver Fibrosis (HBV)

April 17, 2019 updated by: Liang Peng, Third Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-Sen University

Study on Optimized Treatment of Peginterferon Alfa 2a or 2b in Anti-virus Treatment Naive Patients With Hepatitis b Virus Related Liver Fibrosis

Compared to nucleoside/nucleotide analogues, peginterferon alfa 2a/2b may has more therapeutic efficacy in hepatitis B surface antigen or e antigen seroconversion and anti-tumor occurrence in chronic hepatitis b patients. We design this study to investigate treatment of peginterferon alfa 2a/2b in anti-virus treatment naive patients with HBV related liver fibrosis.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Compared to nucleoside/nucleotide analogues, peginterferon alfa 2a/2b may has more therapeutic efficacy in hepatitis B surface antigen or e antigen seroconversion and anti-tumor occurrence in chronic hepatitis b patients. But there still lacks of studies on peginterferon alfa 2a or 2b treatment in patients with HBV related liver fibrosis. We design this study to investigate optimized treatment of peginterferon alfa 2a/2b, comparing to nucleoside/nucleotide analogues, in anti-virus treatment naive patients with HBV related liver fibrosis.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change of level of liver fibrosis after anti-virus treatment
Time Frame: 48 week, 144 week
Liver biopsy or fibroscan would be accessed to know the change of level of liver fibrosis at 48 and 144 weeks after anti-virus treatment.
48 week, 144 week

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.

Ratio of patients with undetectable hepatitis b virus DNA after anti-virus treatment
Time Frame: 24 week, 48 week, 72 week, 96 week, 120 week,144 week
