A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Dose-escalation Study to Determine the Depth and Duration of Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBsAg) Reduction After a Single Intravenous Dose of ARC-520 in Combination With Entecavir in Patients With Chronic Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) Infection, Followed by a Two-dose Open-label Cohort and Three Open-label Single-dose Cohorts in Treatment Naïve Patients, Including a Multi-dose Open-label Extension at a Single Center

Detailed Description
Treatment with ARC-520 for injection is expected to reduce all HBV proteins and replicative intermediates via ribonucleic acid (RNA) interference. The magnitude of the reduction and duration of effect will depend on the dose. Since to date ARC-520 has not been administered to patients with chronic HBV infection, the effective therapeutic dose in patients with chronic HBV infection is unknown. This study is designed to assess the antiviral activity of ARC-520, especially its effect on HBsAg, in patients with chronic HBV infection at different dose levels.
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single-dose escalation study of ARC 520 in combination with entecavir administered to participants with hepatitis B virus e antigen (HBeAg)-negative (Cohorts 1 through 4) or HBeAg-positive (Cohort 5) immune active, chronic HBV infection, followed by a two-dose open-label cohort (Cohort 6), three open-label single-dose cohorts in treatment-naïve participants (Cohorts 7, 11 and 12) and an open-label multi-dose extension study (Cohorts 8, 9, 10). Cohort 6 will investigate ARC-520 in combination with entecavir administered in two doses to participants with HBeAg-positive immune-active chronic HBV infection. Cohorts 7, 11 and 12 will enroll treatment-naïve participants. Cohort 8 will only enroll participants previously completing Cohorts 1-4. Cohort 9 will only enroll participants previously completing Cohort 5 or 6. Cohort 10 will only enroll participants previously completing Cohort 7.
Participants will undergo the following evaluations at regular intervals during the study: medical history, physical examinations, vital sign measurements (blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and temperature), weight, adverse events (AEs), 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECGs), concomitant medication, blood sample collection for hematology, coagulation, chemistry, pharmacokinetic (PK) and exploratory pharmacodynamic (PD) measures, urinalysis, HBV serology, HBV genotyping and sequencing, follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) testing and pregnancy testing for females of childbearing potential. Clinically significant changes including AEs will be followed until resolution, until the condition stabilizes, until the event is otherwise explained, or until the participant is lost to follow-up.

An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment.
An SAE is any AE that: results in death; is life-threatening; requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of an existing hospitalization; results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity; is a congenital anomaly/birth defect; or is a medically important event or reaction.Events were categorized as mild, moderate or severe.
TEAEs were defined as all AEs starting or worsening after commencement of treatment with investigational product.
A treatment-related TEAE was one whose relationship to treatment was noted as unlikely, possibly, or probably related.
