Summary
The purpose of this clinical research study is to learn if the study drug entecavir will prevent the recurrence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) in participants who receive an orthotopic liver transplant (OLT) due to HBV infection.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- Patients receiving orthotopic liver transplant (OLT) due to end-stage liver disease because of chronic HBV infection, with HBV-DNA < 172 IU/mL (approximately < 1000 copies/mL) prior to liver transplant
- Must have detectable hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) at screening and for at least 24 weeks prior to screening
Exclusion Criteria
- Patients with hepatocellular carcinoma with evidence of extrahepatic spread, multiple tumors ≥ 6.5 cm in diameter or there is up to three nodules ≥ 4.5 cm in diameter and total tumor diameter is ≥ 8 cm
- Co-infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), cytomegalovirus (CMV), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV)
