NCT ID NCT04904835
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study checked how well new blood tests (Access HBV assays) can detect hepatitis B infection. Researchers tested over 21,000 leftover blood samples from adults, including blood donors and hospital patients. The goal was to see if these tests are accurate compared to existing approved tests.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Access HBV serological marker assays (blood tests for hepatitis B)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, these tests could provide a reliable way to diagnose hepatitis B infection, helping doctors identify and manage the disease.
- What could go wrong
- This is a diagnostic accuracy study, not a treatment trial. The tests may not perform equally well in all populations or settings.

Inclusion Criteria: * Subject aged ≥ 18 years, * Subject who has provided consent (oral or written) or sample collected under waiver * With sufficient volume to perform clinical trial testing * And belonging to one of the following enrollment groups: * Unselected blood donors * Hospitalized patients * Presumed HBsAg positive patients by Confirmatory testing of a CE-marked assay * Patients having recovered from natural HBV infection, presumed Anti-HBs positive (i.e. Anti-HBs and Anti-HBc Total positive by CE-marked assays) * Patients having received HBV vaccination, presumed Anti-HBs positive (confirmed by testing at the time of enrollment, i.e. positive for Anti-HBs and negative for Anti-HBc by CE-marked assays). * Presumed Anti-HBc Total positive patients by a CE-marked assay * Presumed Anti-HBc IgM positive patients by a CE-marked assay with acute/recent HBV infection 8 * Presumed HBeAg positive patients by a CE-marked assay * Presumed Anti-HBe positive patients by a CE-marked assay * Patients with chronic HBV infection Exclusion Criteria: * Samples from subjects already included in the study\* (\* Patient can be included only once per HBV marker study, but can potentially be enrolled for several separate HBV marker studies.)
