New combo aims to clear hepatitis b virus in 86-Patient trial
NCT ID NCT05970289
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This phase 2 study tests whether adding the experimental drug BRII-835 to standard pegylated interferon can help people with chronic hepatitis B lose the virus surface antigen (HBsAg), a key marker of infection. Eighty-six adults on stable antiviral therapy will receive either interferon alone or with different doses of BRII-835. The goal is to see if the combination can achieve better viral control and possibly allow patients to stop long-term medication.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- BRII-835 (a drug) and pegylated interferon alpha (a biologic)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this combination could help more people with chronic hepatitis B clear the virus surface antigen, potentially leading to long-term disease control without daily medication.
- What could go wrong
- This is a mid-stage trial with only 86 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Side effects from interferon are common, and the treatment may not work for all.
