| Background: Although treatment with nucleos(t)ide analogues (NA) for chronic hepatitis B (CHB) is effective and safe, response will probably not sustain off treatment and most patients therefore require long-term treatment. This pilot study investigated the effect of Peginterferon (PEG-IFN) add-on therapy on serum HBeAg and HBsAg levels in HBeAg positive CHB patients who are on long-term NA-treatment.
Methods: Eleven patients stably suppressed with an HBV DNA< 200IU/mL during NA treatment (5ETV/6TDF±LAM/FTC) were studied. Five patients were randomized to receive 24 weeks of PEG-IFN α-2b add-on treatment and were compared with 6 patients who continued NA-monotherapy. Follow-up (FU) was 48 weeks. Quantitative HBsAg and HBeAg was measured at week 0, 12, 24 & 48 using the Cobas E411 (Roche).
Results: Patients were predominantly male (82%) and of Asian (55%) or Caucasian (45%) origin. Mean age was 34 years. Seven patients (64%) had previously been treated with IFN. Patients harboured HBV genotypes B/C/D/other in 36/28/27/18%. At baseline mean HBeAg and HBsAg were 1.0logIU/mL and 3.8logIU/mL, respectively, and did not differ between groups (p-values>0.2). HBVDNA remained < 200IU/mL in all patients. Patients who received PEG-IFN add-on therapy showed more HBeAg decline at end of treatment (0.84 vs. 0.14IU/mL), and end of FU (0.93 vs. 0.29IU/mL) than those who remained on NA monotherapy. One patient (PEG-IFN arm) achieved HBeAg seroconversion. HBsAg decline was more profound in patients who received PEG-IFN add-on at end of treatment (0.35 vs. 0.12IU/mL), and end of FU (0.26 vs. 0.18IU/mL). HBsAg loss was not observed.
Conclusion: Twenty-four weeks of PEG-IFN added to long-term NA treatment may improve HBeAg and HBsAg decline in HBeAg positive CHB. PEG-IFN add-on treatment should therefore be further investigated as an option to finalize long-term NA therapy in CHB.
