Abstract
BACKGROUND:
The optimal treatment of patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) who
develop resistance to both lamivudine (LMV) and entecavir (ETV) after
sequential monotherapy of LMV and ETV remains little known.
METHODS:
We evaluated the efficacy of entecavir (ETV) plus adefovir dipivoxil (ADV)
combination therapy for patients with resistance to LMV and ETV. We
reviewed the medical records of 12 patients, and treated all 12 patients
with ETV plus ADV combination therapy for at least 18 months. Quantitative
hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA levels, serologic markers, and hepatic panel
values were monitored at baseline and 3-month intervals thereafter for 18
months.
RESULTS:
The baseline mean serum HBV DNA level was 7.26 ± 1.11 log(10) copies/ml.
The mean reductions in serum HBV DNA levels from baseline to 3, 6, 9, 12,
15, and 18 months were -1.98 ± 1.03, -2.87 ± 1.02, -3.32 ± 1.10, -3.92
± 1.30, -4.36 ± 1.22, and -4.57 ± 1.18 log(10) copies/ml, respectively.
Complete virological response (HBV DNA of <2 log(10) copies/ml) at 6, 12,
and 18 months was observed in 1 (8.3%), 4 (33.3%), and 6 (50.0%) patients,
respectively. The 2 patients with baseline HBV DNA of <6 log(10) copies/ml
achieved complete virological response at 18 months, while 4 of 10 patients
with baseline HBV DNA of >=6 log(10) copies/ml achieved complete virological
response at 18 months. None of the 12 patients experienced virological
breakthrough during follow-up.
CONCLUSIONS:
ETV plus ADV combination therapy effectively reduced serum HBV DNA levels
in patients with CHB who developed resistance to both LMV and ETV.
Additional long-term studies are needed to assess the effect of long-term
treatment with these drugs.
