Clinical Trials in HDV: Measuring Success. (PubMed, Hepatology)
Recently, a wave of new investigational therapies has come under evaluation, including bulevirtide, lonafarnib, pegylated interferon lambda (PEG-IFNλ), and REP-2139 creating new excitement in HDV. These clinical benefits may include reducing the risk of progression to cirrhosis, hepatic decompensation, hepatocellular carcinoma, liver transplantation, and mortality. However, the optimal way to measure success in HDV clinical trials remains unknown and will continue to evolve.
