Brief Summary:
Dose cohorts may be dosed with one of up to 4 possible total weekly doses (0.3 mg, 1 mg, 2 mg, 4 mg). Dose escalation or repetition will be governed by pre-specified safety and activity rules. Subjects will be confined on either days 1-3 or days 1-3 and 8-10. Follow-up visits are also required periodically through day 43, and potential viral load follow-up visits at weeks 3 and 6 months post last dose. Study procedures involve blood draws for pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, virologic, and safety assessments

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Assessment of adverse events in single and multiple oral doses of GS-9620 [ Time Frame: Periodically Through Week 25 ]
    Safety will be assessed during the study through the reporting of adverse events, by clinical laboratory tests, physical examinations including vital signs and ECGs at various time points during the study, and by documentation of concomitant medications throughout the study.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Assessment of plasma drug concentrations of GS-9620 using non-compartmental methods [ Time Frame: Day 1 and Day 8 ]

    Single ascending dose (SAD) and multiple ascending dose (MAD) Cohorts:serial blood samples will be collected on Day 1 at 0 (pre-dose), 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 24, 48, and 96 hours post-dose.

    MAD Cohorts: serial blood samples will also be collected on Day 8 at 0 (pre-dose), , 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, and 24 hours post-dose.


  2. Measurement of pharmacodynamic markers (cytokines and interferon-stimulated genes [ISGs]) [ Time Frame: Up to Day 15 ]

    SAD Cohorts: whole blood and serum for pharmacodynamic (PD) assessments (RNA and cytokine analysis) will be drawn on Day 1: pre-dose and 8-hr post dose, Day 2, Day 3, Days 5 and Day 8

    MAD Cohorts: whole blood and serum for PD assessments (RNA and cytokine analysis) will be drawn on Day 1: pre-dose and 8 hours postdose, Day 2, Day 3, Day 5, and Day 8: pre-dose and 8 hours post-dose, Day 9, Day 10, Day 12, and Day 15


  3. Reduction of hepatitis B (HBV) viral load from baseline [ Time Frame: Up to Day 15 and Follow-Up ]
    Antiviral activity will be evaluated by determination of HBV HBsAg and HBV viral load kinetics
