Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To investigate the efficacy of MXB and to compare 3 doses of MXB versus observation on background therapy with tenofovir in hepatitis delta patients.;Secondary Objective: To investigate safety and tolerability, as well as to assess pharmacokinetics and immunogenicity, of three doses of MXB in hepatitis delta patients.;Primary end point(s): •HDV RNA negativation or decrease by =2 log from baseline on Week 24. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Week 24

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): •Durability of HDV RNA response to 24 weeks post treatment •Combined response: HDV RNA negativation or =2 log decline and normal ALT at treatment week 24 •Changes in ALT values on Week 24 and Week 48 compared to baseline. •Lack of fibrosis progression based on transient elastometry (Fibroscan) on Week 24 compared to baseline. •Changes (absence of increase) in fibrosis marker: serum alpha-2-macroglobulin on Week 24 and Week 48 compared to baseline. • Changes in HBsAg (decreased levels, disappearance of HBsAg, antibodies to HBsAg) on Week 24 and Week 48 compared to baseline. • Change in HBV DNA levels on Week 24 and Week 48 compared to baseline. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 24-48 weeks
