Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Tenofovir Alafenamide Tablets
Experimental: Arm A - initial TAF treatment group - cirrhotic or non-cirrhotic CHB patients with hepatic decompensation and HBV NUC treatment naïve or experienced (except prior TAF) will receive initial treatment (Arm A) with TAF 25 mg/day.
Experimental: Arm B - switch to TAF treatment group - cirrhotic or non-cirrhotic CHB patients with hepatic decompensation and currently under HBV NUC treatment (except TAF) with HBV DNA < 20 IU/mL within 6 months prior screening will switch (Arm B) to TAF 25 mg/day
Treatment: Drugs: Tenofovir Alafenamide Tablets
Approximately 100 adults, cirrhotic or non-cirrhotic (capped at 50), CHB patients with hepatic decompensation, will receive initial treatment (Arm A) with or switch (Arm B) to TAF 25 mg/day for 144 weeks. For Initiation Arm (Arm A), CHB patients with hepatic decompensation, who are currently not under HBV antiviral treatment will be enrolled. For Switch Arm (Arm B), CHB patients who are currently with hepatic decompensation and virally suppressed under HBV NUC treatment (HBV DNA < 20 IU/mL) will be enrolled.

Summary
Brief summary
TAF is a new prodrug of tenofovir, specifically designed to achieve higher intracellular
active drug concentration allowing for dosing of only 25 mg once daily and thus can
potentially lower the already relatively low risk of renal toxicity and bone loss with TDF.
However, such renal and bone complications with TDF may become more pronounced in
decompensated CHB patients10. In the phase 3 trials11, 12, TAF had demonstrated a compatible
antiviral effect (noninferior efficacy), and a higher rate of alanine aminotransferase (ALT)
normalization to TDF. TAF also demonstrated an improved renal function and less bone loss
compared to TDF. Therefore, TAF was approved as the first line therapy for CHB patients with
compensated liver function. The lack of data regarding TAF therapy in decompensated CHB
patients raised the concern of safety and efficacy of TAF in this group of patients. A small,
single arm Phase 2 switch study (GS-US-320-4035; Study 4035; NCT03180619) which has enrolled
31 subjects with CPT scores =7, either at time of screening or by history, who were virally
suppressed on TDF and/or other oral antiviral agents is currently underway with favorable
safety and efficacy results through 48 weeks.[Lim YS, Lin CY, Heo J, et al. EASL 2020, poster
SAT442.] While Gilead Study 4035 will continue through 96 weeks of treatment, additional data
in this population are thus needed, particularly in CHB patients who have decompensated liver
disease and are not being treated and are viremic. Herein, we conduct the present study and
aim to investigate the safety and efficacy of TAF in CHB patients with hepatic
decompensation.
