NCT00116805

Brief Summary

The primary objectives of this study are to compare the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) versus adefovir dipivoxil (ADV) for the treatment of HBeAg-positive chronic hepatitis B. Participants will receive TDF or ADV for 48 weeks (double-blind). After 48 weeks, eligible participants switched to open-label TDF for up to 480 weeks.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Percentage of Participants With HBV DNA < 400 Copies/mL and Histological Improvement (2-point Reduction in Knodell Necroinflammatory Score Without Worsening in Knodell Fibrosis Score) at Week 48

    Complete response was a composite endpoint defined as histological response and HBV DNA \< 400 copies/mL. Histological response was based on the Knodell numerical scoring of liver biopsy specimens and defined as at least a 2-point reduction in Knodell necroinflammatory score without worsening in Knodell fibrosis score. The Knodell necroinflammatory score is the combined necrosis and inflammation domain scores and ranges from 0 to 14; the Knodell fibrosis domain score ranges from 0 to 4. A participant was a nonresponder for the primary endpoint if either biopsy (baseline or end-of-treatment) was missing or if there was not an HBV DNA value available at or beyond Week 40.
