New hope for hepatitis delta: can switching drugs clear the virus?
NCT ID NCT07454837
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 11, 2026 · Updated 6 times
Summary
This study tests whether switching from the current drug bulevirtide to a new drug called brelovitug can better control chronic hepatitis Delta. About 120 adults who have been on bulevirtide for at least 6 months will take brelovitug for 24 weeks. The main goal is to see if the virus becomes undetectable in the blood.
