Study summary

This study is an open-label, 2-Part (Single Ascending Dose [Part 1] And Dose Expansion) study that will evaluate the safety of EPI-003 administered to patients with chronic infection with HBV (CHB). EPI-003 is a liver-targeted antiviral therapeutic for intravenous (IV) injection that is capable of precise epigenetic modifications of the HBV genome without causing mutations in the gene sequence itself.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Start is estimated for Dec 2024; primary completion for Dec 2026, 24 months later.

Of 73 industry-sponsored phase 1 interventional studies under Hepatitis B, Chronic, half reached primary completion within 15 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 5 and three quarters within 26. This study's planned 24 months is above that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 81 studies reached it within 16 months; a quarter within 6 and three quarters within 27.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
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 Dec 24, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
