About

This is a Phase4, multicenter, open-label, randomized study to demonstrate that the Tenolid Tab switching group is non-inferior to the virologic suppression effect compared to the Viread Tab continuous administration group and evaluate the safety of Tenolid Tab. This clinical trial was conducted on patients who were taking Viread Tab as monotherapy for more than 48 weeks for chronic hepatitis B.

At the time of screening(Visit 1), information on factors related to medical history and prognosis including Viread Tab administration were collected retrospectively from the subjects who voluntarily signed the informed consent form (ICF). Only subjects who are determined to be suitable for the study eligibility(inclusion/exclusion) criteria as a result of the screening evaluations are randomized in a 1:1 ratio to one of the two groups at the baseline.

Subjects will receive investigational product start on the next day of randomization for 48 weeks. Subjects will visit to the study site on 12, 24, 36, 24 weeks after starting dosing investigational product and evaluated for effectiveness of virologic suppression and safety.

Inclusion criteria

As of the date of written consent, adults aged 19 or above
Patients with chronic hepatitis B
For chronic hepatitis B, Viread Tab. monotherapy† for more than 48 weeks, HBV suppression‡(virologic suppression) was confirmed, and it was determined that Tenofovir monotherapy for more than 48 weeks would be required.

† However, patients who take Viread Tab for more than 48 weeks before screening but do not take Viread Tab at the time of screening and discontinue the administration within 4 weeks until the time of randomization can be registered. (treatment gap ≤ 28 days)
- HBV DNA < 400 copies/mL (=69 IU/mL*) * IU/mL is converting to copies/mL by unit for each institution. (Ex: 5.8 copies/mL = 1 IU/mL)
Subject who voluntarily consents to participate in the clinical trial and signs an informed consent

Exclusion criteria

Patients with liver cancer or decompensated liver cirrhosis* *Cirrhosis with clinical signs/symptoms of decompensation (jaundice, ascites, variceal bleeding, hepatic coma)
Patients with Hepatitis C virus (HCV), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) with overlapping infections (HCV Ab positive, HIV Ab positive) However, if the HCV Ab or HIV Ab test result is judged to be 'false positive' by the investigator, HCV or HIV infection can be confirmed through additional confirmatory tests (HCV, HIV RNA test), etc.
Patients with other clinically significant liver disease (Hemochromatosis, Wilson's disease, Alcoholic liver disease, Autoimmune hepatitis, α-1 antitrypsin deficiency)
Patients confirmed by laboratory test results as followings
- Severe anemia: Hemoglobin < 8g/dL ② Inadequate renal function: eGFR (Ccr, Cockcroft-Gault formula) < 50 mL/min ③ Inadequate hepatic function:
  - Total bilirubin > 3.0 mg/dL
  - Albumin < 2.8 mg/dL
  - Prothrombin Time(PT) > INR 2.2
Patients with malignant tumors diagnosed within 5 years prior to screening However, in the case of basal cell carcinoma or squamouscell carcinoma of the skin, it is possible to participate in the clinical trial if it is judged to be 'cured' at the discretion of the investigator after surgery (treatment),.
Patients who are scheduled for an organ transplantation or who have undergone organ transplantation surgery
Patients with a history of clinically significant neuropsychiatric disorders, alcoholism, or drug dependence
Patients known to have hypersensitivity or allergy to components of investigational products or similar drugs
Patients who administered immunosuppressive drugs within 24 weeks prior to screening or who administered systemic corticosteroids over a limited dose (equivalent to prednisolone 10 mg/day) for 4 consecutive weeks or more.
Patients who are expected to require administration of the following drugs during the clinical trial period

① Immunosuppressive drug

② Systemic corticosteroids above a limited dose (equivalent to prednisolone 10 mg/day) for 2 consecutive weeks or more

③ Drugs affecting renal excretion, drugs inducing nephrotoxicity or hepatotoxicity

④ Anti-HBV drugs other than Tenofovir (ex. emtricitabine, lamivudine, telbivudine, clevudine, entecavir, interferone)

⑤ Patients who administered hepatotonics at a stable dose for more than 3 months before screening can be registered.
Those who have a history of fractures requiring bone mineral density (BMD) monitoring or are at risk of osteopenia, who are judged unable to participate in clinical trials according to the investigator's judgment
For pregnant, lactating and reproductive women, patients who do not consent to contraception by a medically accepted method (surgical sterilization, intrauterine device, condom or diaphragm) during the clinical trial period
Patients who participated in another clinical trial within 12 weeks prior to screening and received investigational drugs or investigational devices.
In addition to the above, subject considered ineligible to participate in this study by the investigator.
