This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused

Ongoing This study
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Summary

This phase 3 trial tests an experimental drug called AHB-137 in 577 adults with HBeAg-negative chronic hepatitis B who are already on standard antiviral pills. Participants receive weekly injections of AHB-137 or a placebo for a set period, then stop all hepatitis B treatment. The main goal is to see if the virus stays undetectable 24 weeks after stopping all therapy, which would mean a functional cure.

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 (an experimental drug) given weekly under the skin, plus standard nucleoside analogue therapy
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a way to stop long-term antiviral pills and achieve a 'functional cure' where the virus is undetectable without ongoing medication.
What could go wrong
This is still an early-phase 3 trial, so results may not confirm benefit. There is a risk of side effects from the injection or that the virus returns after stopping treatment.
