Background: Liver stiffness measurement (LSM) change
and factors associated with improvement of fibrosis stage in
patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) with advanced fibrosis
or cirrhosis after tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) treatment
are rarely reported. Methods: This ongoing (since March
2015), prospective, open-label study (GSK [NCT02224456])
enrolled treatment-naïve CHB patients aged 18-60 years
with advanced fibrosis or compensated cirrhosis (diagnosed
clinically [LSM plus abnormal ultrasound or platelets
<100x10^9/L] or by liver biopsy) to receive TDF 300 mg/day
(240 weeks). Study assessments include changes in LSM
and fibrosis stage (measured by LSM) and factors associated
with fibrosis stage regression (gender, age, baseline HBV
DNA level, HBeAg sero-status, alanine aminotransferase
[ALT]), platelet count, LSM, 24- and 48-week virologic
response, and ALT normalization). Here, we report 96-week
results. Results: Of 195 enrolled patients (75.9% men; mean
age 43.3 years) 37.4% and 36.9% patients were diagnosed
with advanced fibrosis and cirrhosis, respectively. The LSM
declined significantly in first 24 weeks and showed a slow
but continuous decline through 96 weeks. Mean % change
in LSM (baseline to week 96) was -32.9% and -37.6% in
patients with advanced fibrosis and cirrhosis, respectively
(p<0.001). In total, 44% patients experienced fibrosis stage
regression ≥2 stages and did not have advanced fibrosis or
cirrhosis at week 96. Age ≤40 years (OR: 0.468, p=0.012)
and higher baseline LSM (OR: 1.063, p=0.020) were found
to be associated with fibrosis stage regression. Baseline ALT
level (OR: 1.007, p=0.053) and ALT normalization at week 24
(OR 1.986, p=0.114) or week 48 (OR: 2.061, p=0.088) had no
statistically significant impact on fibrosis regression. The trend
in LSM decline was similar between patients with normal
and elevated ALT. Virologic response (HBV DNA<20 IU/ml)
was achieved in 88.8% patients and ALT normalization was
seen in 66% patients. HBeAg loss and seroconversion was
seen in 33% and 14.9% patients, respectively. Three patients
(1.5%) developed HCC. Mean eGFR value was stable during
the 96-week treatment (Table 1). SAEs were reported in
20 patients. The most common adverse drug reaction was
hypophosphatemia (n=11). The safety and tolerability in
this study was consistent with the known safety profile.
Conclusion: Over 2 years, treatment with TDF significantly
decreased LSM. Younger age or higher baseline LSM were
positively associated with fibrosis regression.
