B-Fine: An Open Label, Single Arm Study to Mechanistically Interrogate the Therapeutic Effect of GSK3228836 in Patients With Chronic Hepatitis B Via Intrahepatic Immunophenotyping
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating GSK3228836 and Nucleos(t)ide therapy for Hepatitis B. Completed, enrolled 12 participants across 4 sites in 4 countries.
Detailed Summary
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, especially chronic, is a significant worldwide medical problem. This is an exploratory study of the therapeutic mechanism of GSK3228836 in participants with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) on stable nucleos(t)ide therapy (which is the first line therapy for CHB). This study is a Phase IIa, multi-center open label exploratory study of the therapeutic mechanism of GSK3228836 in participants with hepatitis B virus e-antigen (HBeAg)-negative CHB on stable nucleos(t)ide therapy using repeat fine needle aspirations of the liver for intrahepatic immunophenotyping. It will investigate the virologic and immunologic correlates of hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg) loss observed in participants when treated for 12 weeks with 300 milligrams (mg) GSK3228836. Repeat fine needle aspirates of the liver will be performed to enable analysis of liver-resident immune cells to investigate any immunomodulatory properties of GSK3228836 and to study the biology of underlying treatment-associated liver flares. The study will consist of a screening, treatment, and post-treatment follow-up phase. Approximately 20 participants will be enrolled in the study.

Timeline
Interventions
GSK3228836 will be available as a clear colorless to slightly yellow solution for injection in 150 mg/milliliters (mL) vial to be administered SC once weekly.
Participants receiving nucleos(t)ide therapy upon entry in the study will continue to receive nucleos(t)ide therapy for the duration of the study.
