Brief summary

This is a Phase 3, global, randomized, open-label, multicenter, trial evaluating brelovitug (BJT-778) vs bulevirtide for the treatment of chronic hepatitis delta infection (CHD). The main goal of this study is to test the effectiveness of brelovitug compared to bulevirtide as a long-term treatment in patients with chronic HDV infection.

Detailed description

Study consists of 2 arms. Approximately 172 participants will be randomized 3:1 to one of the following treatment arms: Arm 1: Participants will receive brelovitug 300 mg subcutaneously once weekly for 96 weeks. Arm 2: Participants will receive bulevirtide 2 mg subcutaneously once daily for 48 weeks, followed by brelovitug 300 mg subcutaneously once weekly for the next 48 weeks.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Percentage of participants with a composite endpoint of virologic response and ALT normalizationWeek 48The composite endpoint is defined as virologic response (undetectable HDV RNA, \< the lower limit of quantification \[LLOQ\], target not detected \[TND\]) and ALT normalization (decrease in ALT from baseline to ≤ upper limit of normal \[ULN\])

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Percentage of participants with treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs)Up to 96 weeksAn AE is any symptom, physical sign, syndrome, or disease that either emerges during the study or, if present at Screening (e.g., medical history), worsens during the study (post-Baseline/ Day 1), regardless of the suspected cause of the event.
Percentage of participants who discontinue treatment due to an adverse event (AE)Up to 96 weeksAn AE is any symptom, physical sign, syndrome, or disease that either emerges during the study or, if present at Screening (e.g., medical history), worsens during the study (post-Baseline/ Day 1), regardless of the suspected cause of the event.

Percentage of participants with HDV RNA <LLOQUp to 96 Weeks
Percentage of participants with HDV RNA <LLOQ, TNDUp to 96 Weeks
Percentage of participants with ALT normalizationUp to 96 WeeksALT normalization is defined as a decrease in ALT from baseline to ≤ ULN
Percentage of participants with ALT normalization in combination with virologic response of HDV RNA ≥ 2 log10 IU/mL decline from baseline or TNDUp to 96 WeeksThe composite of participants with ALT normalization (decrease in ALT from baseline to ≤ ULN) and virologic response of HDV RNA ≥ 2 log10 IU/mL decline from baseline or TND.
Percentage of participants with ALT normalization in combination with HDV RNA <LLOQUp to 96 WeeksThe composite of participants with ALT normalization (decrease in ALT from baseline to ≤ ULN) and virologic response of HDV RNA \<LLOQ.
Percentage of participants with ALT normalization in combination with HDV RNA <LLOQ, TNDUp to 96 WeeksThe composite of participants with ALT normalization (decrease in ALT from baseline to ≤ ULN) and virologic response of HDV RNA \<LLOQ, TND.
Change from baseline in liver stiffness as determined by transient elastography (e.g., FibroScan)Up to 96 Weeks

Change from baseline in Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score in participants with cirrhosisUp to 96 Weeks
Percentage of participants with clinical disease progression from baseline in HDV-associated liver disease.Up to 96 WeeksLiver disease progression will be determined by the Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC).
Percentage of participants with HDV RNA <LLOQ, TND at post-treatment follow up.Post-Treatment Weeks 24 and 48
Change from baseline in Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) as measured by the Chronic Liver Disease Questionnaire-HBV (CLDQ-HBV)Up to 96 Weeks
