New combo aims to clear hepatitis b virus

NCT ID NCT05970289

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 19, 2026 · Updated 34 times

Summary

This phase 2 study tests whether adding a new drug called BRII-835 to standard pegylated interferon alpha can help people with chronic hepatitis B lose a key virus marker (HBsAg) from their blood. About 86 adults aged 18-60 who have been on antiviral therapy for at least 6 months will receive either the combination or interferon alone. The goal is to see if the combo is safe and more effective at clearing the virus.
