Brief summary
This is a Phase 2b/3 study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of chronic treatment with brelovitug (a.k.a BJT-778; BTG) for chronic hepatitis delta virus (HDV) infection. The comparator in this study will be 24-weeks of delayed treatment. During the 24-weeks of delayed treatment, participants will complete the same visits and assessments as those randomized to initiate brelovitug immediately. At the completion of 24-week delayed treatment period, all participants will start treatment with brelovitug.
Detailed description
Study will consist of 3 study arms. Approximately 150 participants will be randomized 2:2:1 to one of the following treatment arms: * Arm 1: Participants randomized to Arm 1 will receive brelovitug 300 mg subcutaneously once weekly. * Arm 2: Participants randomized to Arm 2 will receive brelovitug 900 mg subcutaneously once every 4 weeks. * Arm 3: Participants randomized to Arm 3 will attend study clinic visits and delay treatment with brelovitug. At Week 24, all participants will receive brelovitug 300 mg subcutaneously once weekly.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Percentage of participants with a composite endpoint | Week 24 | Achieving composite endpoint defined as virologic response (undetectable HDV RNA or decline in HDV RNA ≥2 log10 IU/mL) and ALT normalization |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Percentage of participants with treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAE) as assessed by DAIDS | Weeks 24, 48, 96, and 120, if applicable | Frequency and severity of TEAEs and serious AEs |
| Percentage of participants that achieve that achieve virologic response and ALT normalization | Weeks 24, 48, 96, and 120, if applicable | Change from baseline in HDV RNA and ALT normalization |
| Percentage of participants with a composite endpoint by treatment regimen | Weeks 24, 48, 96, and 120, if applicable | Compare the composite endpoint response (change from baseline HDV RNA and ALT normalization) between weekly versus every 4-week regimen of brelovitug |
| Percentage of participants with HDV associated liver disease progression | Weeks 24, 48, 96, and 120, if applicable | Determined by an independent data monitoring committee based on changes in liver stiffness, APRI, CPT/MELD score (cirrhotic), and TEAEs. |
