Study Information
New Zealand Clinical Research is trialling an experimental medication that is being developed for the treatment of Chronic Hepatitis B (CHB).
Chronic infections with Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) can result in liver damage, leading to liver failure and potentially liver cancer. AB-101 is being developed for the treatment of HBV infection in people who have developed CHB.
AB-101 works by promoting the body’s immune system (defence mechanism) cells to target and destroy HBV cells. To hopefully reduce the level of HBV cells within the body to provide a functional cure for CHB.
This study will investigate the effects of AB-101 in healthy participants Part 1 (SAD) and Part 2 (MAD).
It is an experimental drug because it has not been approved by MedSafe or other drug regulatory authorities.
This study (2023 FULL 18214) is being funded by Arbutus Biopharma Corporation and has been approved by the Health and Disability Ethics Committee.
