AbstractPeginterferon (PEG-IFN) treatment of HBeAg-positive chronic hepatitis B (CHB) results in HBeAg loss in 30% of patients, but clearance of HBV DNA and HBsAg from serum is less often achieved. We investigated whether the presence of precore (PC) and basal core promoter (BCP) mutants before PEG-IFN treatment affects serological and virological response. A total of 214 HBeAg-positive CHB patients treated with PEG-IFN±lamivudine for 52 weeks in a global randomized trial were classified at baseline as wildtype (WT) or non-WT (detectable mutants at PC/BCP) by line-probe assay. Response was assessed at 6 months post-treatment and through long-term follow-up(LTFU). Mutants were detected in 64% of patients, in varying frequencies across HBV genotypes A through D. Patients with WT had higher baseline HBV DNA, HBeAg and HBsAg levels than patients with non-WT. Patients with WT were more likely to achieve HBeAg loss with HBV DNA<10,000 copies/mL (response, 34 versus 11%,p<0.001) and HBsAg clearance (18 versus 2%,p<0.001) at week 78 than non-WT patients. Among WT patients who achieved HBeAg clearance at week 78, 78% had undetectable HBV DNA and 61% achieved HBsAg clearance at LTFU (versus 26% and 15% in non-WT patients,p<0.001 for both). Presence of WT virus at baseline was an independent predictor of response (OR 2.90, 95%CI:1.15-7.31,p=0.023) and HBsAg clearance (OR 5.58, 95%CI:1.26-24.63,p=0.013) and patients with non-A genotypes with detectable mutants had a low probability of response. CONCLUSION: Presence of only WT virus at baseline is a strong predictor of response (HBeAg loss with HBV DNA <10,000 copies/mL) to PEG-IFN for HBeAg-positive CHB. Patients with detectable PC and/or BCP mutants have a lower probability of response and are less optimal candidates for PEG-IFN therapy. (HEPATOLOGY 2012.).

摘要

聚乙二醇（PEG-干扰素）治疗HBeAg阳性慢性乙型肝炎（CHB）的结果在30％的患者在HBeAg的损失，但是从血清HBV DNA和HBsAg清除是不太经常取得。我们调查是否存在前C（PC）和基本核心启动子（BCP）突变体的聚乙二醇干扰素治疗前，会影响血清学和病毒学应答。共有214例HBeAg阳性CHB患者在一个全球性的随机试验，52周PEG-干扰素±拉米夫定治疗基线被列为野生型（WT）或野生型（非检测到突变的PC / BCP）线探针法。在6个月治疗后，并通过长期随访（LTFU）反应评估。 64％的患者，在跨HBV基因型的不同频率突变检测通过D.与WT患者有较高的基线HBV DNA，与非野生型患者HBeAg和HBsAg水平。与野生型的患者更可能比非野生实现与乙型肝炎病毒DNA <10,000拷贝/毫升（反应，34％对11％，P <0.001）和HBsAg清除HBeAg消失，78周（​​18比2％，P <0.001）患者。在野生型患者78周时达到HBeAg的间隙中，有78％不到的HBV DNA和61％在LTFU取得HBsAg清除（相对于26％和15％，在非野生型的患者，P <0.001）。野生型病毒存在于基线反应的独立预测因素（OR 2.90，95％CI :1.15-7 0.31，P = 0.023）和乙肝表面抗原清除率（OR 5.58，95％CI :1.2​​6-24 0.63，P = 0.013）与患者非A基因型检测突变的概率很低的响应。结论：只有野生型病毒存在于基线是强烈的反应预测HBeAg阳性慢性乙型肝炎（HBeAg消失与HBV DNA <10,000拷贝/毫升）PEG-干扰素。检测PC和/或BCP突变的患者有反应的机率较低，PEG-干扰素治​​疗不是最佳的选择。 （2012年肝病。）。

哦？没太看懂…似乎说派罗欣也有不好使的时候

回复 咬牙硬挺 的帖子

这篇论文说，如果你是HBeAg阳性的, 有100％的野生型乙肝病毒(没有检测到的前C区/核心启动子突变体病毒），那么你将有一个更好的干扰素治疗回应.
