Long-Term Treatment With Tenofovir Alafenamide for Chronic Hepatitis B Results in High Rates of Viral Suppression and Favorable Renal and Bone Safety.
Summary
The primary objective of this study is to compare the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) versus tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) in treatment-naive and treatment-experienced adults with hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)-negative chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection.

Eligibility Criteria
Key Inclusion Criteria
- Ability to understand and sign a written informed consent form, which must be obtained prior to initiation of study procedures.
- Adult males and non-pregnant, non-lactating females.
- Documented evidence of chronic HBV infection.
- Hepatitis e antigen (HBeAg)-negative, chronic hepatitis B with all of the following:
- HBeAg-negative and hepatitis B e antibody (HBeAb) positive at screening.
- Screening HBV DNA ≥ 2 x 10^4 IU/mL.
- Screening serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) level > 60 U/L (males) or > 38 U/L (females) and ≤ 10 x the upper limit of the normal range (ULN).
- Treatment-naive participants (defined as 10 x ULN
- Received solid organ or bone marrow transplant.
- History of malignancy within the past 5 years, with the exception of specific cancers that are cured by surgical resection; individuals under evaluation for possible malignancy are not eligible.
- Currently receiving therapy with immunomodulators (eg, corticosteroids), investigational agents, nephrotoxic agents, or agents capable of modifying renal excretion.
- Individuals receiving ongoing therapy with drugs not to be used with tenofovir alafenamide or tenofovir disoproxil fumarate or individuals with a known hypersensitivity to study drugs, metabolites, or formulation excipients.
- Current alcohol or substance abuse judged by the investigator to potentially interfere with participant compliance.
- Any other clinical condition or prior therapy that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would make the participant unsuitable for the study or unable to comply with dosing requirements.
