Summary
Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate is a nucleos(t)ide analogue that inhibits Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) growth, and is marketed in Japan with an indication for inhibition of HBV growth in subjects with chronic hepatitis B associated with HBV growth and abnormal liver function. This study has been planned to evaluate the virological effects and safety of switching from ETV to TDF in chronic hepatitis B (hepatitis B e-antigen [HBeAg])-positive and HBV- deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) undetectable subjects. This study is designed as a multi-center, one-arm, post-marketing clinical study to investigate the HBsAg reduction in subjects who have not achieved the long-term goal, the loss of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg). The study will be conducted in HBeAg-positive and HBV-DNA undetectable subjects treated with ETV. After switching ETV to TDF, TDF will be administered for 96 weeks. Approximately 80 subjects will be screened to achieve 65 evaluable subjects.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- Subjects must be 20 to 69 years of age inclusive, at the time of signing the informed consent
- Male and female subjects. A female subject is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant and not breastfeeding, and at least one of the following conditions applies:
- Not a woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP), OR
- A WOCBP who agrees to follow the contraceptive guidance during the treatment period and for at least 4 days after the last dose of study treatment

- Subjects with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) (excluding hospitalized subjects)
- Subjects treated with ETV for at least 2 years prior to initiation of study treatment.
- The serum HBV-DNA level at screening is below the limit of quantitation ( =800 IU/mL
- Meet all of the following criteria at screening:
- Creatinine clearance (CLcr) >=70 mL/minute. CLcr is calculated using the following Cockcroft-Gault formula.
Male: CLcr = (body weight in kilogram [kg] multiplied by [140 minus age in years]) divided by (72 multiplied by serum creatinine [milligram {mg}/deciliter {dL}]) Female: CLcr = CLcr (male) multiplied by 0.85

- Drugs causing renal impairment (examples: aminoglycosides, amphotericin B, vancomycin, foscarnet, cisplatin, pentamidine, tacrolimus, cyclosporine, some contrast mediums [ionic high-osmolar contrast media, ionic low-osmolar contrast media]
- Competitors of renal excretion (except temporary use, example: probenecid)
- Immunosuppressants (examples: azathioprine, cycolphosphamide) or chemotherapeutics (example: etoposide)

- Co-infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV)
- Subjects with serious complication other than compensated CHB (cancer, significant renal, cardiovascular, pulmonary, or neurological disease, uncontrollable diabetes, etc.)
- Received or have a plan for solid organ or bone marrow transplantation
- Has proximal tubulopathy.
- Subjects with decompensated CHB who meet the following: direct bilirubin > 1.5 times upper limit of normal (ULN), Prothrombin Time (PT) 1:160), excluding CHB

- History of HCC (except subjects who underwent resection or received curative treatment by radiofrequency, and with AFP <=10 ng/mL at screening)
- Woman who is pregnant, possibly pregnant, lactating or planning a pregnancy during the study period.
- Psychiatry disorder or cognitive disorder that may affect the subject's ability to give informed consent or to follow specified study procedures.
- Subjects with a history of alcohol or drug abuse
