Topic: Hepatitis B & D - clinical (therapy, new compounds, resistance)
Background and aims
Quantitative Hepatitis B core-related-antigen (qHBcrAg) has been evaluated as additional marker to quantitative HBsAg (qHBsAg), for management of chronic hepatitis B. We aimed evaluating baseline combination of qHBsAg and qHBcrAg for identification of patients that could benefit from peginterferon alfa-2a (PegIFN) based therapy.
Methods
62 HBeAg-negative patients treated with PegIFN or PegIFN plus Tenofovir-disoproxil-fumarate (PegIFN+TDF). HBsAg and HBcrAg titers were measured at baseline.
Results
30 patients received PegIFN and 32 PegIFN+TDF. SVR was 33% and 53% in PegIFN and PegIFN+TDF patients, respectively. AUC(95%CI) was 0.716(0.578-0.855) for HBsAg and 0.668(0.524-0.811) for HBcrAg (p=0.554). Cut-off selected at the predictor threshold that maximizes Youden’s index for identifying patients likely to respond were: 3.141(2.941-3.592) log10 IU/mL and 3.450(2.150-5.050) log10 U/mL for HBsAg and HBcrAg, respectively. Titers below these cut-offs were observed in 15/27 (56%) and 4/35 (11%) patients with and without SVR, respectively for qHBsAg, and 14/27 (52%) and 6/35 (17%) patients with and without SVR, respectively for qHBcrAg. Combination of HBsAg and HBcrAg in 1 predictive score showed AUC(95%CI) of 0.745(0.612-0.878). PPVs were: 0.762(0.590-0.947), 0.714(0.533-1.000) and 0.800(0.611-1.000) and NPVs were 0.756(0.660-0.889) 0.718(0.630-0.857) and 0.765(0.675-0.889) for HBsAg, HBcrAg and the combination of both markers, respectively. The logistic regressions showed high performances. Results were not different regardless treatment regimens ROC curves for HBsAg loss showed AUC(95%CI): 0.771(0.576-0.965) and 0.552(0.324-0.779) for qHBsAg, qHBcrAg respectively (p=0.0304).
Conclusions
Baseline qHBsAg 3.141 log10 IU/mL and qHBcrAg 3.450 log10 U/mL thresholds used separately or in combination allow prediction of response, prior PegIFN based therapy, with PPV 80.0% and NPV 76.5%. Both markers could be used, separately or in combination, for PegIFN based 'precision therapy'. Higher SVR rates are observed with the combination of 48 weeks PegIFN+TDF (53%) in comparison to 48 weeks of PegIFN monotherapy (33%), emphasizing that the combination of PegIFN alfa-2a plus TDF might be an interesting alternative of finite therapy allowing individualizing treatment and ultimately improves clinical practice.
