Treatment of HBV Cirrhosis with Fuzheng Huayu Tablet(扶正化瘀片) and Entecavir: Design of a Randomized, Double-Blind, Parallel and Multicenter Clinical Trial
摘要
Abstract
Background:
2
Antiviral therapy can lead to regression of fibrosis in chronic hepatitis B (CHB)
but it has a limited effect on cirrhosis. Chinese medicines (CMs)
particularly Fuzheng Huayu Tablet (扶正化 瘀片
FZHY)
have an antifibrotic effect in patients with CHB.
Objective:
2
To observe the safety and efficacy of adjunctive FZHY in patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV) cirrhosis
this study was designed as a randomized
placebo-controlled
double-blind
parallel assignment
multicenter trial at 20 centers in China. The total 700 naive patients will be enrolled with compensate cirrhosis due to HBV
and randomly assigned into 2 groups
receiving entecavir (0.5 mg
daily) and FZHY placebo (1.6 g
3 times a day)
or entecavir (0.5 mg
daily ) and FZHY (1.6 g
3 times a day)
respectively. The primary endpoint was histological improvement at week 48. The secondary outcome is the decline values of liver fibrosis using the noninvasive methods from baseline to week 48 in each arm of the study. Adverse events such as stomach upset
headache
fatigue
dizziness
nausea will be strictly recorded.
Discussion:
2
Through this study
we hope to generate a solid evidence for the therapeutic strategy of HBV cirrhosis with a combination of anti-viral such as ETV and anti-fibrotic herbal product such as FZHY. Protocol version: Version 1.3
