ABSTRACT BODY: BACKGROUND: HBsAg mediated suppression of the immune system and permits the chronicity of HBV infection. NAPs inhibit HBsAg release from infected hepatocytes. The first generation NAP, REP 9AC, rapidly cleared serum HBsAg in infected patients and allowed recovery of durable immunological control over HBV infection. REP 9AC’ is a second generation nucleic acid-based amphipathic polymer (NAP) with improved tolerability. An updated progress report of the ongoing phase I/II study on the safety and efficacy of REP 9AC’ in combination with the immunotherapeutic agents Zadaxin ™ and Pegasys ™ in patients with chronic HBV infection is presented.
METHODS: All patients were, HBsAg+ with pre-treatment HBV DNA titers between 10^6 and 10^9 copies/ml. Patients recieved parenteral REP 9AC’ therapy with addon therapy of either thymosin α1 (Zadaxin™) or pegylated interferon 2α (Pegasys™) after effective clearance of serum HBsAg. Safety and virologic response (HBV DNA [Roche Cobas™], HBsAg, anti-HBs [Architect™]) were assessed regularily during treatment.
RESULTS: At the time of abstract submission, 10 out of 12 patients treated have effectively cleared serum HBsAg and anti-HBsAg antibodies have been observed in all these patients. Immunological recovery is evidenced in these patients by a 2.5 to 7 log reduction in their HBV DNA titers from pre-treatment levels after 20-30 weeks of treatment (see figure). Co-treatment with either Zadaxin ™ or Pegasys ™ has been initiated to monitor how the absence of HBsAg may potentiate the effectiveness of these cytokines in human patients.
CONCLUSIONS: REP 9AC’ can rapidly and effectively clear HBsAg from the serum of infected patients and allow the restoration of an effective immune response, as evidenced by substantial reductions in serum HBV DNA. Combination treatment with immunotheraptic cytokines may enhance the immunological recovery in these patients and lead to a permanent control of HBV infection.
