Continuation of Lamivudine Plus Adefovir Versus Switching to Entecavir Plus Adefovir in Adults With Chronic Hepatitis B Who Have Resistant Mutants to Lamivudine and Show Suboptimal Response to Combination of Lamivudine Plus Adefovir
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Adefovir, Entecavir, and 1 other intervention for Hepatitis B, Chronic. Completed, enrolled 90 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The presence of persistent inadequate or suboptimal virologic response is a strong risk factor for viral resistance and breakthrough and also for disease progression of chronic hepatitis B, and thus, a change in therapy is required. The combination of entecavir (ETV) and adefovir (ADV) is a promising treatment for patients with lamivudine (LAM)-resistance who show suboptimal response to the combination of LAM and ADV. In this randomized, open labeled trial,the investigators will compare the efficacy of continuation of ADV plus LAM versus switch to ADV plus ETV in adults with LAM-resistant chronic hepatitis B who shows suboptimal response to the combination treatment of ADV and LAM.
