Background and Aims: The REP 401 study (NCT02565719) is
assessing the safety and efficacy of REP 2139 (clinical lead) or REP
2165 combined with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) and
pegylated interferon α-2a (peg-IFN) in Caucasian patients with
chronic HBeAg negative HBV infection.
Method: Lead-in TDF therapy in 40 patients was followed by
randomization into an experimental group (48 weeks of TDF, peg-
IFN and REP 2139 or REP 2165) or a control group (24 weeks of TDF +
peg-IFN) who crossed over to 48 weeks of experimental therapy.
Viremia is monitored on the Abbott Architect and Realtime platforms.
Results: Therapy was well tolerated except for one withdrawal due
to pegIFN-related depression. Follow-up has been extended to 24
weeks in 18/20 experimental patients and 4–12 weeks in 17/20
crossover patients.
HBV DNA was controlled in all patients during TF lead-in and
throughout therapy. Following randomization, experimental
patients had HBsAg reductions as follows: 17/20 > 1 log from
baseline, 14/20 < 1IU/ml and 13/20 < 0.01 IU/ml. Following crossover
in control patients HBsAg reductions were as follows: 19/20 > 1 log
from baseline, 14/20 < 1IU/ml and 10/20 < 0.01 IU/ml.
HBsAg < 1 IU/ml in experimental patients was accompanied by
increases in anti-HBs (range 25–223,055 mIU/ml) in 13/14 patients
and therapeutic liver flares (ALT/AST > 5x ULN with normal synthetic
liver function) in 12/14 patients. In control patients, transaminase
flares in patients with HBsAg < 1 IU/ml were attenuated but anti-
HBsAg elevations were comparable to the experimental group.
Functional control of HBV infection (HBsAg < LLOQ, HBV DNA < LLOQ)
is persisting 24weeks after removal of therapy in 12/14 experimental
patients achieving HBsAg <1 IU/ml (REP 2139: 7/10, REP 2165: 5/10)
and is stable in the remaining 2 patients. In control patients,
functional control of HBV infection is persisting 4-12 weeks in
11/12 patients achieving HBsAg < 1 IU/ml (REP 2139: 4/10, REP 2165
7/10) with available follow-up data and is stable in the remaining
patient. Functional control of HBV infection in both groups is
accompanied by normalization of ALT/AST in all but 5 patients.
Conclusion: NAPs are effective and well tolerated in combination
with peg-IFN and TDF in HBeAg negative chronic HBV infection
and elicit the establishment of functional control of HBV infection
persisting after removal of therapy and normalization of liver
function in a majority of patients.
