Abstract
AIM:
To evaluate the long-term durability of nucleos(t)ide analogues (NAs)' efficacy and to explore related factors for virological relapse in a younger cohort of chronic hepatitis B (CHB).
METHODS:
CHB patients who fulfilled cessation criteria to discontinue NAs therapy (in accordance with guidelines by APASL and AASLD) were included in the study since December 2001. Virological relapse was defined as serum HBV DNA>104 copies/mL twice at least 2 weeks apart.
RESULTS:
A total of 223 CHB patients were enrolled at the time of NAs treatment was discontinued. The cumulative relapse rate (CRR) in HBeAg-positive patients (20.3%, 23.4%, 27.9% and 30.9% at year 1, 3, 5 and 10) was statistically lower than that in HBeAg-negative patients (44.7%, 52.5%, 57.4% and 62.3% at year 1, 3, 5 and 10, P<0.001). In the HBeAg-positive group, Cox regression revealed that age at cessation (HR 1.081, P<0.001), consolidation treatment (HR 0.947, P=0.007), and time to HBeAg seroconversion (HR 0.938, P=0.015) were predictors for relapse. In the HBeAg-negative group, Cox regression indicated that age (HR 1.029, P=0.026) and time to HBVDNA negativity (HR 1.257, P=0.001) were predictors for relapse.
CONCLUSIONS:
The off-treatment responses to NAs do differ in CHB patients with different pretreatment HBeAg status. NAs withdrawal is generally safe and feasible in young CHB patients. Longer consolidation periods should be preferred in HBeAg-positive patients to achieve better durability. Finite NAs treatment results in poor durability in HBeAg-negative CHB patients.
