Abstract
The aims of this study were to assess the long-term efficacy of lamivudine
(LAM) plus adefovir dipivoxil (ADV) combination therapy in patients with
chronic hepatitis B resistant to LAM, to identify predictive factors of
complete viral response (HBV-DNA <2.6 log copies/ml at 12 months of
combination therapy), and to analyze amino acid substitutions associated
with treatment resistance in the hepatitis B virus (HBV) genome.
Seventy-two patients who received ADV in addition to LAM for breakthrough
hepatitis were enrolled. Undetectable HBV-DNA was observed in 61%, 74%,
81%, 84%, and 85% at 12, 24, 36, 48, and 60 months of combination therapy,
respectively. On multivariate analysis, undetectable HBV-DNA during the
preceding LAM monotherapy (P < 0.0001), alanine aminotransferase
value ≥ the upper limit of normal × 6 (P = 0.006) and
HBV-DNA level < 6.0 log copies/ml at the initiation of combination
therapy (P = 0.007) were independent significant predictors of complete
viral response. The cumulative rate of undetectable HBV-DNA was
significantly higher in patients with response to the preceding LAM
monotherapy than in those with poor response to it. Breakthrough hepatitis
occurred in three patients without complete viral response and with poor
response to the preceding LAM monotherapy, and rtA181A/V substitution was
detected in one of the three patients. In conclusion, undetectable HBV-DNA
during the LAM monotherapy was the strongest independent predictor of
complete viral response to the following combination therapy. The efficacy
of LAM plus ADV combination therapy may be determined by viral response to
the preceding LAM monotherapy.
