Trial Outcomes & Findings for Lamivudine and Adefovir to Treat Chronic Hepatitis B (NCT NCT00023309)

NCT ID: NCT00023309

Last Updated: 2016-09-23

Results Overview

A maintained combined response was defined as a combination of a virological, biochemical and histological responses at weeks 48 and 192. A virological response was defined as a decrease in HBV DNA levels to undetectable by the Amplicor assay (\<500 copies/mL). A biochemical response was defined as a decrease in serum ALT levels into the normal range (\<41 U/L). A histological response was defined as a decrease in the HAI score by at least three points with no worsening of the Ishak fibrosis score.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 196 weeks from randomization

Population: The analysis was intention to treat. Patients with missing values at week 196 were treated as random missing. No imputation was applied.

A maintained combined response was defined as a combination of a virological, biochemical and histological responses at weeks 48 and 192. A virological response was defined as a decrease in HBV DNA levels to undetectable by the Amplicor assay (\<500 copies/mL). A biochemical response was defined as a decrease in serum ALT levels into the normal range (\<41 U/L). A histological response was defined as a decrease in the HAI score by at least three points with no worsening of the Ishak fibrosis score.
