Novel Drug Has Comparable Antiviral Activity With Entecavir in Treatment-Naïve HBV: Presented at EASLhttp://www.docguide.com/novel-drug-has-comparable-antiviral-activity-entecavir-treatment-na-ve-hbv?hash=c8431e6c&eid=19247&alrhash=2f4244-e14fac0ff7ef1d5b0c78458126191858

BERLIN -- April 4, 2011 -- LB80380 has comparable antiviral activity, with the same safety profile, as entecavir in treatment-naïve patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV), researchers said here at the 46th Annual Meeting of the European Association of the Study of the Liver (EASL).
Although low serum L-carnitine levels can occur with LB80380, these are normalised in all patients with carnitine supplementation, according to Ching-Lung Lai, MD, University of Hong Kong, and Queen Mary Hospital, Hong Kong.
“[LB80380] is a novel nucleotide analogue of guanosine monophosphate which is potent activity against hepatitis B virus,” said Dr. Lai on April 2.
The researchers investigated clinical activity, safety, and tolerability of two LB80380 doses in comparison with entecavir, as a noninferiority study.
Treatment-naïve patients with chronic were assigned to open-label entecavir 0.5 mg/day (n = 35) or double-blind LB80380 90 mg plus placebo (n = 34) or LB80380 90 mg plus 60 mg (n = 33), daily.
Alanine transaminase (ALT) levels needed to be >1.2x upper limit of normal (ULN) and <10x ULN, with compensated liver disease.
The 3 treatment groups saw similar mean HBV DNA decreases at week 24: -5.31, -4.99, -5.03 log10 IU/mL, respectively.
Undetectable HBV DNA was seen for 62.9%, 58.8%, and 63.6% of patients; normalised ALT levels for 85.7%, 73.5%, and 81.8% of patients; hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) loss for 14.3%, 15.8%, and 11.1% of patients; and HBeAg seroconversion for 4.8%, 5.3%, and 11.1% of patients.
Incidence and severity of adverse events with low with no differences across the treatment groups. This was the same for the laboratory analyses, except for serum L-carnitine levels. These fell below the reference range in with LB80380 treatment. “Patients were given just commercial L-carnitine supplements, and all of them returned to normal,” added Dr. Lai. At least one L-carnitine supplement was received by 55.6%/71.8% of patients in the LB80380 90-mg/150-mg groups.
