Treatment with a potent NA such as tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) is associated with a high level of durable viral suppression, improvement in liver fibrosis, and no documented viral resistance in a cohort of patients followed for up to 5 years. The presence of low level viral replication below the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) in the presence of ongoing NA therapy, however, has not been evaluated in detail. Methods: HBV DNA levels were assessed from two registrational studies of TDF for CHB in HBeAg-negative and HBeAg-positive patients. HBV DNA was quantified using the COBAS TaqMan V 2.0 having a lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) of 29 IU/mL and a lower limit of detection of 10 IU/mL. HBV DNA values less than 10 IU/mL are reported as target not detected (TND), while values between 10 IU/mL and 28 IU/mL are reported as target detected (TD). Results: The percentage of patients with undetectable HBV DNA less than LLOQ (TND) between weeks 96 and 240 is shown in the figure. Among patients who achieved HBV DNA < 29 IU/mL, the percentage with TND increased over time to 22-36 %after 5 years (240 weeks) of NA treatment for HBeAg positive and HBeAg negative patients respectively. No patients achieved and remained <LLOQ TND for the entire study period; only 65 %maintained TND at >50 %of visits between Weeks 96 and 240. For individuals who achieved HBV DNA suppression (<LLOQ), there was no association of TND frequency with HBsAg loss, HBsAg decline, or change in liver fibrosis. However, among HBeAg-positive patients, percentage of TND was associated with achievement of HBeAg loss (p<0.001) and anti-HBe seroconversion (p<0.001) by Week 240 . Conclusions: Low-level ongoing viral replication may be occurring in the presence of nucleoside analog therapy even after 5 years of therapy. The absence of low-level viremia was associated with HBeAg loss and seroconversion. Further evaluation into the mechanism of viral replication in the absence of overt drug resistance is warranted. These data provide a rationale for possible intensification of viral suppression through an orthogonal mechanism of action.
