New hope for hepatitis b patients with normal ALT: TMF drug trial underway

NCT ID NCT05797714

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests a drug called Tenofovir Amibufenamide (TMF) in 200 adults with chronic hepatitis B who have normal liver enzyme levels (ALT). The goal is to see if TMF can lower the virus to undetectable levels and possibly clear the hepatitis B surface antigen. Participants are randomly assigned to receive TMF or no treatment, and results are measured after 48 weeks.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

Tenofovir Amibufenamide (TMF)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could offer a treatment option for hepatitis B patients with normal liver enzymes, potentially suppressing the virus and even clearing the surface antigen.

What could go wrong

This is an early-stage trial with no phase designation and only 200 participants. The drug may not work better than no treatment, and long-term safety is not yet established.
