Background and aims: Quantitative hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) is emerging as useful tools for predicting antiviral effect, but the detection includes all three forms of circulating particles in the serum. The study aims to evaluate the usefulness of serum hepatitis B virus large surface protein (LHBs) levels for predicting antiviral treatment effect.
Methods: A total of 62 hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) positive patients were enrolled: 21 patients received peginterferon (Peg-IFN) treatment and 41 patients received entecavir (ETV) treatment. Quantification of LHBs, HBsAg and HBV DNA was carried out at baseline and during antiviral therapy (weeks 4, 12, 24, 36 and 48). Virological response (VR) was defined as an undetectable HBV DNA level (< 1000 copies/mL) after 48 weeks of therapy. Patients who exhibited HBeAg loss or seroconversion at week 48 were regarded as serological response (SR).
Results: The serum LHBs concentration positively correlated with HBV DNA and HBsAg (r = 0.635 and 0.588, respectively). During week 48 of Peg-IFN and ETV therapy, LHBs and HBV DNA level decreased significantly in a biphasic manner and HBsAg level tended to decrease slowly. In Peg-IFN group, the cutoff of 88.46 U/mL in serum LHBs at week 4 gave the best area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC = 0.96) with sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of 100%, 85.7%, 88.9% and 100% in association with VR. The predictive model incorporating LHBs, HBsAg and HBV DNA can discriminate VR at baseline (AUC = 0.79) and show association with SR at week 12 (AUC = 0.80).
Conclusions: On-treatment quantification of serum LHBs could be a useful parameter for predicting VR in patients with Peg-IFN. Combining LHBs, HBsAg and HBV DNA can predict VR and SR more effectively and earlier.
