| Background: In HBeAg(-) chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients receiving antiviral therapy, HBV relapse is frequent after treatment discontinuation. We assessed the durability of antiviral responses in patients who stopped ETV therapy after maintaining viral suppression in study ETV-901.
Methods: HBeAg(-) patients from study ETV-027 who subsequently received ETV for ≥192 weeks in ETV-901, had HBV DNA < 300 copies/mL for ≥48 weeks, ALT ≤1 x ULN, and consented to off-treatment follow-up for up to 96 weeks were studied. The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients with sustained HBV DNA < 10,000 copies/mL at off-treatment Week 48. Failure endpoints included hepatitis flare† and confirmed virologic relapse (HBV DNA ≥10,000 copies/mL and ALT ≥2 x ULN or HBV DNA ≥100,000 copies/mL at 2 consecutive time points ≥4 weeks apart).
Results: Patients (N=29) were predominantly male and Asian (72% each); mean duration of ETV therapy was 254.1 weeks. Overall, 24/29 patients completed 96 weeks off-treatment follow-up. At off-treatment Week 48, 6/29 (21%) had HBV DNA < 10,000 copies/mL. Seven patients experienced confirmed virologic relapse. No ETV resistance was detected among patients who met criteria for resistance testing. Ten patients re-started ETV, and all had HBV DNA < 300 copies/mL within 3 months after re-starting treatment.
Conclusions: In this cohort of HBeAg(-), predominantly Asian patients, discontinuation of long-term ETV treatment resulted in increased viral replication (HBV DNA ≥10,000 copies/mL) in most patients, thus demonstrating the need for continued antiviral treatment in HBeAg(-) patients. Re-treatment with ETV resulted in rapid suppression of viral replication.
