NCT ID NCT07709520

First seen Jul 16, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This phase II trial tests whether two experimental drugs, GST-HG131 and GST-HG141, can safely reduce hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) levels in people with chronic hepatitis B. The study involves 80 adults aged 35-65. Participants receive either the drug combination or a placebo, and researchers measure HBsAg decline after 168 days.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
two experimental drugs called GST-HG131 and GST-HG141
What this could lead to
If successful, this combination could point toward a new way to control chronic hepatitis B and reduce the risk of liver damage.
What could go wrong
This is an early phase II trial with only 80 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The drugs may not lower HBsAg enough or could cause unexpected side effects.
