History of Changes
  Purpose

Combination therapy with anti-HBV activity may both increase HBV suppression rates and reduce emergence of resistant strains. Several new therapeutic agents are currently in development, however combination therapy trials in the HBV-infected population have only recently commenced. No such trials have been undertaken in the HIV/HBV co-infected population.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • HBV DNA suppression to levels below the limit of detection (<400 copies/ml) [ Time Frame: week 48 ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • HBV suppression as measured by comparison of AUC measurements at 12 and 24 weeks [ Time Frame: 12 and 24 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • Proportion of patients with undetectable HBV DNA in serum at 12 and 24 weeks [ Time Frame: 12 and 24 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • Rate of HBeAg and HBsAg seroconversion at 12, 24 and 48 weeks. [ Time Frame: 12, 24 and 48 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • Rate of emergence of LAM-resistant HBV genotypes at 48 weeks. [ Time Frame: 48 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • Rate of hepatic cytolysis (ALT level > 5x ULN). [ Time Frame: 48 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • Change from baseline in ALT levels and time to ALT normalization. [ Time Frame: 48 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • Suppression of plasma HIV-RNA (< 50 copies/ml) through 48 weeks. [ Time Frame: 48 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • Changes in CD4+ /CD8+ cell counts through 48 weeks [ Time Frame: 48 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • Toxicity [ Time Frame: 48 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • Assessment of effect of therapy on histological changes in the liver and effect on ccc-HBV-DNA [ Time Frame: 48 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Detailed Description:

The primary study objective is to compare HBV DNA suppression to levels below the limit of detection (<400 copies/ml) by week 48 in each treatment group. Virological and clinical anti-HBV efficacy of tenofovir and emtricitabine in antiretroviral naive patients with HIV/HBV co-infection.

  Eligibility

Ages Eligible for Study:   18 Years to 60 Years
Genders Eligible for Study:   Both
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Written informed consent
  • Documented HIV infection (positive serology for HIV-1 and detectable HIV-1 RNA)
  • Age 18 - 70 years
  • HBV DNA > 106 copies/ml
  • HBsAg positive for > 6 months

In case documented duration of HBsAg seropositive is less than 6 months (this situation is most likely to occur in patients newly presenting to the HIV-outpatient clinic) the patient is eligible if the patient is:

  1. HBsAg positive and
  2. HBc core IgM antibody negative and

  3. the liver biopsy gives evidence for a chronic active hepatitis. Thus making it likely that this patient has acquired the HBV infection more than 6 months ago.

    • ALT < 10 x ULN
    • Creatinine <= 2.0mg/dl
    • Platelet count >= 50,000/mm3
    • HIV-1 therapy naive
    • No prior exposure to anti-HBV agents (LAM, adefovir, TDF) although prior IFN treatment allowed

Exclusion Criteria:

  • HCV-RNA positive or Anti-HAV IgM positive
  • Acute hepatitis (serum ALT > 1000 U/L)
  • Prior LAM, TDF, or ADV therapy
  • Active opportunistic infection
  • Other causes of chronic liver disease identified ( autoimmune hepatitis, haemochromatosis, Wilsons disease, alfa-1-antitrypsin deficiency)
  • Concurrent malignancy requiring cytotoxic chemotherapy
  • Decompensated or Child's C cirrhosis
  • Alfa-fetoprotein (AFP) > 3X ULN (unless negative CT scan or MRI within 3 months of entry date)
  • Pregnancy or lactation
  • Any other condition which in the opinion of the investigator might interfere with compliance or outcome of the study
