What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial tests a new treatment called pevifoscorvir sodium for individuals with chronic hepatitis B. Researchers aim to evaluate how this drug affects people with varying levels of kidney function, including those with and without kidney issues. Participants will receive a single dose and undergo monitoring for two weeks. This trial may suit adults with chronic hepatitis B who have stable kidney problems or no kidney issues. As a Phase 1 trial, the research focuses on understanding the treatment's effects in people, offering participants the chance to be among the first to receive it.

Do I have to stop taking my current medications for the trial?

The trial requires that your current medications for managing your medical history be stable for at least 28 days before screening. It doesn't specify stopping other medications, so you should discuss your specific situation with the trial team.

Is there any evidence suggesting that pevifoscorvir sodium is likely to be safe for humans?

Research has shown that pevifoscorvir sodium, also known as ALG-000184, was well-tolerated in previous studies. Participants who took either single or multiple daily doses experienced good safety outcomes. No serious side effects occurred, and the drug was safe at various dose levels. These findings suggest that pevifoscorvir sodium is generally safe for people. However, this trial remains in the early stages, focusing on safety. Further studies will help confirm these results.12345

Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising?

Pevifoscorvir Sodium is unique because it targets chronic Hepatitis B with a potentially new approach. Unlike most treatments, which often involve nucleos(t)ide analogs like tenofovir or entecavir that suppress the virus over long periods, pevifoscorvir sodium may offer a different mechanism of action. Researchers are excited about this drug because it could provide a more efficient and possibly shorter treatment option, which might lead to better patient adherence and outcomes. Additionally, its single-dose administration could simplify treatment regimens, making it easier for patients to manage their condition.

What evidence suggests that pevifoscorvir sodium might be an effective treatment for chronic hepatitis B?

Research has shown that pevifoscorvir sodium may help treat chronic hepatitis B by lowering the virus levels in the body, potentially leading to better health. Studies found it effective for up to 96 weeks, indicating long-lasting benefits. Early results also suggest that pevifoscorvir sodium is safe and well-tolerated by patients. These findings are promising for those considering joining a clinical trial, where participants will receive single oral doses of 100 mg pevifoscorvir sodium, either with or without renal impairment.34678

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

This trial is for adults aged 18-75 with varying degrees of renal impairment or normal kidney function, matched by age, weight, and sex. Participants must be in good health aside from their kidney issues and have stable medications for at least 28 days prior. Women of childbearing potential must use effective contraception.
