A Study of Safety and Efficacy of ATI-2173 in Combination With Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate in Subjects With Chronic Hepatitis B Virus Infection and in Subjects With Hepatitis D Virus Coinfection
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This is a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, multi center, dose ranging study of safety and efficacy in both volunteers with chronic hepatitis B virus infection and in volunteers with hepatitis D virus coinfection. Volunteers will be administered multiple oral doses of ATI-2173 and assessed for safety and efficacy including blood tests to show how the body metabolizes and eliminates the investigational drug as well as how the drug effects the virus infection.
