Hepatitis B

Brief summary

The primary objective of this study is to characterize the long term (ie, 96 weeks of follow up) bone safety profile of open-label tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (tenofovir DF) treatment in CHB-infected adolescents. This includes prospectively evaluating and comparing the bone mineral density (BMD) change between CHB-infected adolescents 12 to \< 18 years of age treated with tenofovir DF in European treatment centers who are assigned to one of two schedules for renal and bone laboratory monitoring and BMD measurement.

Interventions

300 mg tablet administered orally once daily for up to 96 weeks

RADIATIONDEXA Scan

Dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scans administered at protocol-specified time points

Recruitment details

Participants were enrolled at study sites in Europe. The first participant was screened on 03 July 2015. The last study visit occurred on 11 April 2018. The study did not achieve targeted enrollment as it was prematurely terminated by the Pharmacovigilance Risk Assessment Committee (PRAC).

Pre-assignment details

35 participants were screened.

Participants by arm

ArmCount
Tenofovir DF + Increased Bone/Renal Monitoring
One 300 mg tablet given once daily for up to 96 weeks + laboratory bone biomarker testing and lumbar spine and whole-body DXA scans every 24 weeks from baseline to Week 96 (5 scans), and monitoring of renal function at 4 and 12 weeks after baseline and every 12 weeks thereafter. With the exception of an enhanced monitoring protocol for bone and renal outcomes, participants were managed according to local standards of care.

Tenofovir DF + Prespecified Bone Monitoring
One 300 mg tablet given once daily for up to 96 weeks + laboratory bone biomarker testing and lumbar spine and whole-body DXA scans at baseline, Week 48, and Week 96. With the exception of pre-specified bone monitoring, participants were managed according to local standards of care.
