Background: Vesatolimod is an oral agonist of Toll-like
receptor 7 designed for presystemic activation to minimize
systemic exposure and side effects from Vesatolimod treatment.
We evaluated Vesatolimod in CHB patients who are
not currently on antiviral treatment (OAV). Methods: In
this multicenter phase 2 study, 192 patients were randomized
2:2:2:1 to receive Vesatolimod (at doses of 1 [n=53],
2 [n=56], and 4 [n=55] mg) or placebo once weekly for
12 weeks; all subjects also received TDF 300 mg daily for
48 weeks. At screening, patients had HBV DNA ≥2000 IU/
mL, were non-cirrhotic and not on OAV; patients were
stratified by HBeAg status and ALT level. Quantitative
serum HBsAg (Abbott Architect Assay) decline at Week 24
from baseline was estimated using mixed effect model for
repeated measures. Periodic peripheral blood evaluation
of cytokines and ISG transcripts were performed in addition
to safety assessments (e.g. adverse events [AEs] and
laboratory abnormalities). Results: Baseline demographics
were similar across all dosing groups (table). Among Vesatolimod-
treated patients receiving 1, 2, or 4 mg: Grade 3
AEs (no Grade 4) and any AE leading to discontinuation
were observed in 0%, 4%, and 7% of patients respectively
while serious AEs were observed in 2%, 0%, and 2% respectively.
Patients with any AEs were dose-dependent and
higher in the Vesatolimod groups compared to placebo
(table). ISG15 induction was dose-dependent (table) and
did not correlate with HBsAg changes. No dose-dependent
induction of interferon-alpha was observed. HBV DNA
suppression rates were similar across all treatment arms
by Week 24, and 1 subject had HBeAg loss (2mg group).
No significant differences in mean HBsAg changes from
baseline were observed between Vesatolimod-treated and
placebo groups; no patients experienced HBsAg loss. At
Week 24, HBsAg declines of ≥0.5 log10 were observed in
11% (placebo) and 4% (1 mg), 11% (2 mg), and 4% (4
mg) in Vesatolimod-treated patients. Conclusions: Overall,
Vesatolimod is safe and well-tolerated in CHB patients.
While consistent dose-dependent pharmacodynamic
induction of ISGs was demonstrated it did not result in
significant HBsAg decline. Longer term evaluation in these
patients through Week 48 is currently ongoing.
