Effectiveness of TAF in Reducing Clinical Events in CHB Patients Beyond Treatment Indications by Current Guidelines

Korábbi kezelés

• Abusing alcohol (more than 60 g/day) or illicit drugs

Más betegség

• Co-infection with HCV, HDV, HIV (Confirmed by nucleic acid tests)
• Patients with history of hepatic decompensation (e.g., ascites, encephalopathy or variceal hemorrhage)
  • 4-1) Evidence of cirrhosis, including any of follows:
• Evidence of clinically significant portal hypertension

Laborértékek

• Platelet count \<100,000/mm3
• Fibroscan ≥ 12.0 kPa (If the test was done in 3 months before the time of screening.) and confirmed to have liver cirrhosis by an investigator
  • 4-2) 40≤ALT levels\<70 IU/L (males) or 40≤ ALT levels\<50 IU/L (females) with evidence of significant fibrosis(F2; ≥7.2 kPa) as measured by either liver biopsy, Fibroscan or MR elastograpy performed within 3 months.
  • 5\. Received interferon or other immunomodulatory treatment for HBV infection in the 12 months before screening for this study
  • 6\. Medical condition that requires concurrent use of systemic corticosteroid or other immunosuppressive agents
  • 7\. Received solid organ or bone marrow transplant
  • 8\. Known hypersensitivity to study drugs, metabolites, or formulation excipients
  • 9\. Any other clinical condition or prior therapy that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would make the patient unsuitable for the study or unable to comply with dosing requirements
  • 10\. Use of investigational agents within 6 months of screening, unless allowed by the Sponsor or Investigator
  • 11\. Significant renal, cardiovascular, pulmonary, or neurological disease in the opinion of the Investigator
  • 12\. Any malignant tumor in the preceding five years. However, a history of treated malignancy (other than HCC) is allowable if the patient's malignancy has been in complete remission, off chemotherapy and without additional surgical intervention, during the preceding three years
  • 13\. Pregnant or breastfeeding or willing to be pregnant
  • 14\. Participating in other clinical trials to administer medication. However, it is possible to participate if it is not an antiviral agent or immunosuppressant related clinical trial.
