Brief summary
This is a Phase 3, global, randomized, open-label, multicenter trial designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of chronic treatment with brelovitug (BJT-778) for chronic hepatitis delta virus (HDV) infection. The objective of this study is to test the safety and effectiveness of brelovitug compared to delayed treatment.
Detailed description
The study consists of 3 study arms. Approximately 80 participants will be randomized 2:1:1 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 brelovitug 900 mg subcutaneously once every 4 weeks for 96 weeks. Arm 3: Participants will attend study clinic visits and delay treatment with brelovitug for 12 weeks. At Week 12, participants will receive brelovitug 300 mg subcutaneously once weekly for 96 weeks.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Percentage of participants with a composite endpoint of virologic response and ALT normalization at Week 24 in brelovitug arms compared to response at Week 12 of delayed-treatment arm | Week 24 | The composite endpoint is defined as virologic response (HDV RNA ≥2 log10 IU/mL decrease from Baseline or 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
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Percentage of participants with treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) | Up to 96 weeks | An 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 weeks | An 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 ≥ 2 log10 IU/mL decline from baseline or TND | Up to 96 Weeks | — |
| Percentage of participants with HDV RNA <LLOQ | Up to 96 Weeks | — |
| Percentage of participants with HDV RNA <LLOQ, TND | Up to 96 Weeks | — |
| Percentage of participants with ALT normalization | Up to 96 Weeks | ALT 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 <LLOQ, TND | Up to 96 Weeks | The 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 <LLOQ | Up to 96 Weeks | The 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, TND | Up to 96 Weeks | The composite of participants with ALT normalization (decrease in ALT from baseline to ≤ ULN) and virologic response of HDV RNA \<LLOQ, TND. |
| Percentage of participants with HDV RNA <LLOQ, TND at post-treatment follow up. | Post-Treatment Weeks 24 and 48 | — |
| Change from baseline in liver stiffness as determined by transient elastography (e.g., FibroScan) | Up to 96 Weeks | — |
| Change from baseline in APRI (AST-to-platelet ratio index) | Up to 96 Weeks | — |
| Change from baseline in CTP score in participants with cirrhosis | Up to 96 Weeks | — |
| Change from baseline in Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score in participants with cirrhosis | Up to 96 Weeks | — |
| Percentage of participants with clinical disease progression from baseline in HDV-associated liver disease. | Up to 96 Weeks | Liver disease progression will be determined by the Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC). |
