Chronic Hepatitis b
Conditions
Brief summary
This is a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, multi center, dose ranging study of safety and efficacy in volunteers with chronic hepatitis B virus infection. Volunteers will be administered multiple oral doses of ATI-2173 vebicorvir in combination with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate and assessed for safety and efficacy including blood tests to show how the body metabolizes and eliminates the investigational drug as well as how the drug effects the virus infection.
Interventions
ATI-2173 is a liver-targeted phosphoramidate prodrug of clevudine designed to enhance anti-HBV activity while decreasing systemic exposure to clevudine. It will be dosed as a capsule by mouth.
Vebicorvir (formerly ABI-H0731) is an orally administered, potent and selective small molecule inhibitor of the HBV core protein
Viread is a nucleotide analogue reverse transcriptase inhibitor used for chronic hepatitis B virus.
