Impact of Hepatitis B Virus Genotype on Treatment Response in Children With Chronic Hepatitis B

March 15, 2024 updated by: Ly Hoa Anh Minh
The study aimed to evaluate the relationship between hepatitis B virus genotype and treatment response in children with chronic hepatitis B with specific treatment indications. This is a prospective cohort study, with a follow-up period of at least 12 months, conducted at Children's Hospital 1 and City Children's Hospital, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The patient's blood was taken to be tested for hepatitis B virus genotyping using Sanger sequencing at the Center for Molecular Biomedicine Ho Chi Minh City. The research hypothesis is that genotype is related to treatment response.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access 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.

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
Serological response for HBeAg
Time Frame: 12 months after treatment
Serological response for HBeAg applies only to patients with HBeAg-positive Chronic Hepatitis B and is defined as HBeAg loss and seroconversion to anti-HBe.
12 months after treatment

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.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Virological response
Time Frame: 12 months after treatment
Virological response is defined as undetectable HBV DNA by a sensitive PCR assay.
12 months after treatment

Other Outcome Measures

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants. For observational studies, a measurement or observation that is used to describe patterns of diseases or traits, or associations with exposures, risk factors, or treatment. Types of outcome measures include primary outcome measure and secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Biochemical response
Time Frame: 12 months after treatment
Biochemical response is defined as normalisation of ALT levels
12 months after treatment

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.

Primary Completion (Estimated)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
