> Introduction
> For patients with hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)-positive chronic hepatitis B (CHB), HBeAg loss or seroconversion after discontinuation of peginterferon therapy is associated with increased chance of subsequent hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) loss,[1] and improved long-term clinical outcomes.[2]
> Early on-treatment HBsAg decline is associated with sustained immune control post-treatment.
> – In a previous retrospective analysis that assessed the value of on-treatment HBsAg quantification in identifying patients likely to achieve a sustained response, it was found that 54% of patients with HBsAg <1500 IU/mL at Week 24 achieved HBeAg seroconversion and 20% of these patients achieved HBsAg loss, 6 months following discontinuation of peginterferon alfa-2a (40KD) (PEGASYS®, PegIFN alfa-2a) therapy.[3]
> – On-treatment HBV DNA levels may further improve prediction of sustained immune response.
> Response-guided therapy uses on-treatment response for early identification of patients less likely to respond to PegIFN alfa-2a therapy to allow timely individualisation of treatment. The remaining patients can be motivated to complete PegIFN alfa-2a therapy.
>
> Objective
> To identify how response to PegIFN alfa-2a can be optimised through treatment extension or combination with nucleos(t)ide analogues using a response-guided treatment strategy.
>
> Conclusions
> Early responders achieved higher rates of HBeAg seroconversion at Weeks 48 and 72 than non-early responders.
> – HBsAg and HBV DNA declines from baseline to Week 72 were also more pronounced.
> – In early and non-early responders who have completed treatment, HBeAg seroconversion rates continued to increase 6 months post-treatment.
>
> The findings of this interim analysis are consistent with the association between on-treatment reduction of HBsAg and HBV DNA levels and sustained immune response. Results from Arms C and D, expected in 2013, will provide information regarding outcomes in non-early responders with treatment modification. The study will provide valuable information on how response to PegIFN alfa-2a can be optimised in patients with HBeAg-positive CHB.
