Background: NA discontinuation in non-cirrhotic CHBepatients
has been shown to increase the probability of HBsAg
loss, but, except for HBsAg levels, clear predictors of such
an outcome remain unclarified. We assessed whether HBsAg
kinetics during NA therapy are associated with the probability
of HBsAg loss and HBsAg kinetics after stopping long-term
effective NA therapy Methods: We included 33 non-cirrhotic
adult Caucasians with CHBe- who discontinued adefovir after
4 (n=12) or 5 (n=21) years (baseline age 54±12 years, males
82%) All patients had maintained on-NA virological remission
for ≥36 (median 50) months and were HBsAg positive at
NA cessation Post-NA follow-up was performed at months
1,2,3,4,6,9,12 and every ≤6 months thereafter. Median
follow-up after stopping NA was 24 months (until HBsAg
loss or retreatment), but all untreated patients remaining
HBsAg positive were followed for >60 months. Results: At
NA cessation, mean HBsAg levels were 2 9±1 4 log10 IU/mL
During post-NA follow-up, virological relapse (HBV DNA >2000
IU/mL at ≥1 visit) was observed in 28 (85%) and retreatment
was initiated in 15 (45%) patients, while 16 (48%) patients
lost HBsAg (1-, 2-, 3-, 5-year cumulative rate: 10%, 23%,
33%, 48%). Median HBsAg decline per year was significantly
higher after than during NA (0 69 vs 0 05 log, P<0 001), while
there was a significant correlation between HBsAg decline
per year during and after therapy (r=0 520, P=0 003) Ontherapy
HBsAg decline per year was significantly associated
with the probability of HBsAg loss after NA cessation [RH per
log: 12.08 (95% CI: 1.61-90.49), P=0.015], which was higher
in patients with on-therapy HBsAg decline ≥0.05 than <0.05
log/year (1-, 3-, 5-year cumulative rate: 19%, 43%, 67% vs
0%, 22%, 33%; log-rank, P=0 032) HBsAg loss after was
also associated with HBsAg levels [RH per log: 0.30 (0.17-
0.52), P<0.001] and HBsAg ≤3 (vs >3) log at NA cessation
(1-, 3-, 5-year cumulative rate: 23%, 39%, 69%; log-rank,
P=0 003) In multivariable Cox regression analysis, HBsAg
levels or HBsAg <3 log at NA cessation but not on-therapy
HBsAg decline was significantly associated with subsequent
HBsAg loss Conclusion: In Caucasian CHBe- patients who
discontinue long-term NA therapy, on-therapy HBsAg kinetics
are associated with HBsAg kinetics and the probability of
HBsAg loss after NA cessation However, HBsAg levels at
treatment discontinuation represent the strongest predictor of
subsequent HBsAg loss.
