> • Reduction or elimination of cccDNA with anti-HBV therapy may provide clinical benefits such as:
> – Lower risk of HBV reactivation after seroclearance6
> – Lower risk of HCC development6,7
> – Lower risk of HBV recurrence and improved survival after liver resection or transplantation8,9

> Here, we describe the results of an analysis comparing the effects of ETV (entecavir) and LVD (lamivudine) on hepatic cccDNA and total hepatic HBV DNA levels in nucleos(t)ide-naïve HBeAg(+) patients
>
> Summary and Discussion
> • Virologic and histological response rates were greater with ETV than with LVD over 48 weeks
> • ETV resulted in greater reductions of hepatic HBV cccDNA and total hepatic DNA levels from baseline to Week 48 than LVD
> – Blocking the intracellular conversion of relaxed circular genomic DNA to cccDNA using a potent antiviral agent such as ETV exerts a significantly greater effect on the pool of cccDNA molecules than an agent with a lower potency
> • Baseline HBV cccDNA was associated with baseline serum and total hepatic HBV DNA, and HBV genotype F
> • Reduction in hepatic HBV cccDNA was associated with baseline serum HBV DNA and ALT, on-treatment clearance of serum HBV DNA, total hepatic HBV DNA, ALT, and HBeAg, and improvement in liver inflammation
>
> Conclusions
> • At Week 48, treatment with ETV was superior to LVD in reducing hepatic HBV cccDNA and total hepatic HBV DNA from baseline
> • Lower baseline HBV cccDNA was associated with lower baseline serum HBV DNA, lower baseline total hepatic HBV DNA, and HBV genotype F
> • Greater HBV cccDNA reduction at Week 48 was associated with lower baseline serum HBV DNA, higher baseline ALT, greater on-treatment decreases in serum HBV DNA, total hepatic HBV DNA, Knodell necroinflammatory score and ALT, and HBeAg loss
