Study summary

Patients with chronic HBV infection will receive either ARC-520 alone or ARC-520 in combination with other treatments such as entecavir (ENT) or tenofovir (TDF) and/or pegylated interferon (PEG IFN) alpha 2a therapy, and be evaluated for safety and efficacy.

Read the detailed description

This is a multicenter, open-label study of ARC-520 based treatment regimens administered to patients with HBeAg positive or HBeAg negative immune active chronic Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) infection of various genotypes, or patients with Hepatitis D Virus (HDV). Eligible patients naive to previous treatment, and who have signed an Ethics Committee - approved informed consent, will be enrolled and will receive ARC-520 alone or ARC-520 plus additional treatments such as entecavir (ETV) or tenofovir (TDF) and/or pegylated interferon alpha 2a (PEG IFN) therapy. The study may initially involve up to a total of 96 eligible chronic HBV and HDV infected patients. Patients in all cohorts will receive a total of 13 doses of ARC-520 at 2mg/kg or 4 mg/kg. Patients will undergo the following evaluations at regular intervals during the study: medical history, physical examinations, vital sign measurements (blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and temperature), weight, adverse events assessment (AEs), 12-lead ECGs, liver fibrosis testing, concomitant medication assessment, blood sample collection for hematology, coagulation, chemistry, exploratory Pharmacodynamic (PD) measures, urinalysis, HBV serology, cytokines, Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) testing (post-menopausal females) and pregnancy testing for females of childbearing potential. Clinically significant changes including AEs will be followed until resolution, until the condition stabilizes, until the event is otherwise explained, or until the patient is lost to follow-up. For each patient, the duration of the study is approximately 96 weeks, from enrolment to last visit. Prior to enrolment there is a 60 day screening period. Addition of new cohorts and additional treatment regimens are anticipated for this study.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(12)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

ECG (electrocardiogram)

A recording of the heart’s electrical activity, taken with stickers on the chest, arms and legs. It takes a few minutes and does not hurt.

Hepatitis B tests

Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.

Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

Immunosuppression

A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.

Autoimmune disease

A condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease.

Immunotherapy studies often leave out active autoimmune disease, and some name exceptions, such as thyroid disease on replacement hormone. Check the exceptions this study lists.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

Hepatitis C tests

Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver. An HCV antibody test can stay positive after an infection has cleared (and is occasionally positive without one); an HCV RNA test shows whether the virus is there now.

After treatment, hepatitis C counts as cured when HCV RNA is still undetectable 12 weeks or more after the treatment ended. Studies often accept people cured this way.

QT and QTc

On an ECG, the QT interval is the time the heart’s lower chambers take to activate electrically and recover in each beat. QTc is that time adjusted for heart rate (QTcF by Fridericia’s formula, QTcB by Bazett’s). Some medicines lengthen it, and a long QTc can raise the risk of a dangerous heart rhythm.

The study may name a correction formula and a limit in milliseconds, often around 450–480.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

An AE was considered "probably related" when there are facts, evidence, or arguments to suggest that the event is related to the product under investigation. Only AEs that occurred post-dose were considered treatment-emergent. Clinically significant abnormal laboratory findings or other abnormal assessments that are detected during the study or are present at baseline and significantly worsen following the start of the study will be reported as AEs.

    Time frame: From first dose of study drug up to 36 weeks of treatment, plus up to 48 weeks of follow-up

    Time frame: Weeks 52, 60, 72 and 96

  8. Percentage of Participants With Resistance to ARC-520 Injection by Week 52

    Resistance is defined as \> 1.0 log IU/mL quantitative HBsAg (qHBsAg) increase from nadir, confirmed by repeat test.

    Time frame: Week 52

  9. Percentage of Participants With Resistance to the Combination Therapy From Baseline to Week 60

    Resistance is defined as \> 1.0 log IU/mL increase in HBV DNA from nadir, confirmed by repeat test.

    Time frame: Baseline, Week 60

  10. Percentage of Participants With HDV With Undetectable HDV Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) After 48 Weeks of Concomitant ARC-520 Injection and PEG IFN Alpha 2a Therapy Over Time (Cohort 7 Only)

    Time frame: Weeks 52, 60, 72 and 96

Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jan 13, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
