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.
