Study Summary

The investigators have shown robust in vitro anti-hepatitis B activity of simvastatin alone and synergistic activity with all four FDA-approved anti-hepatitis B oral drugs tested. The investigators propose phase 1 studies in 48 chronic hepatitis B human carriers who have never been treated before. Doses of drugs will remain at or below FDA-approved dosage levels for cholesterol lowering (simvastatin) or hepatitis B (tenofovir or entecavir). Arm 1 will have simvastatin monotherapy only. Arm 2 will combine simvastatin with tenofovir. Arm 3 will combine simvastatin with entecavir. For maximum safety, the 3 arms and the dose groups in each arm will be filled consecutively and not concurrently. The definition of efficacy for simvastatin alone will be a 1 log drop of hepatitis B virus in 14 days. Efficacy for combination of drugs will require a 2 log drop of hepatitis B virus in 14 days. Numerous safety tests and stop rules are noted in the protocol.

Primary Outcome

Simvastatin will be given in doses of 5,10,20,and 40mg per day
