New shot aims to free hepatitis b patients from daily pills

NCT ID NCT07137910

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 06, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This Phase 2 trial tests an injection called AHB-137 in 60 adults with chronic hepatitis B who are already on antiviral pills. The goal is to see if the drug can lower virus levels enough that patients can safely stop all treatment. The study will check if the virus stays undetectable 24 weeks after stopping therapy.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
AHB-137 injection
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a new treatment that helps people with chronic hepatitis B stop taking daily antiviral pills while keeping the virus under control.
What could go wrong
This is an early Phase 2 trial with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The drug may not work as hoped, and side effects are still being studied.
