RECRUITINGPhase 1INTERVENTIONAL
Phase 1 Study to Evaluate Safety and Antiviral Activity of PBGENE-HBV in Adult Patients With Chronic Hepatitis B
A Phase 1, Open-Label, First-in-Human, Dose Escalation (Part 1) and Expansion (Part 2) Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Antiviral Activity of PBGENE-HBV in Participants With Chronic Hepatitis B (ELIMINATE-B)
About This Trial
This is a Phase 1, open-label, dose escalation and dose expansion study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, and antiviral activity of PBGENE-HBV in adult participants with chronic hepatitis B.

Treatments Being Tested
BIOLOGICAL
PBGENE-HBV
PBGENE-HBV is an in vivo gene editing intervention based on a novel proprietary ARCUS® platform designed to potentially cure chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) by eliminating cccDNA, the key source of replicating hepatitis B virus, while also inactivating integrated HBV DNA in hepatocytes.
