Background: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) surface antigen (HBsAg)
is suspected to play a major role in enabling and maintaining
persistent HBV infection. Ionis-HBVRx (ISIS 505358) is a 2´-
MOE modified antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) targeting
all HBV RNAs. It was selected for clinical study based on
its activity against HBsAg in non-clinical studies The safety
of the ASO was previously evaluated in healthy volunteers
The aim of the current study was to extend the safety and
tolerability evaluation to CHB patients and to assess the
antiviral activity of treatment given for 4 weeks Methods:
This study was conducted in treatment-naïve patients with
HBV DNA ≥2x103 IU/mL and HBsAg >50 IU/mL. Exclusion
criteria included: history or evidence of liver cirrhosis; coinfection
with HCV, HIV, or HDV; ALT or AST >5xULN, bilirubin
>1.1xULN, or serum creatinine >1.1xULN. Both HBeAg
positive and negative patients were eligible Treatment was
administered by subcutaneous injections on Days 1, 4, 8, 11,
15, and 22. The primary assessment for effect on HBV was
on Day 29 Thereafter, all patients received a 6-month course
of tenofovir Results: Treatments with placebo (n=6) and 150
mg (n=6) and 300 mg (n=12) ASO were studied Dose related
reductions of HBsAg and HBV DNA were observed. At 300
mg, HBsAg and HBV DNA mean ± SD log10 IU/mL changes
from baseline were -1 556±1 379 (p=0 001 vs placebo) and
-1 655±1 479 (p<0 001), respectively Three of these patients
had HBsAg and HBV DNA reductions >3.0 log10 IU/mL where
2 also had HBsAg and HBV DNA levels reduced to below
the lower limit of quantitation (LLoQ, 0.05 and 20 IU/mL,
respectively). HBsAg remained below LLoQ for at least 28
and 102 days post-ASO treatment All 3 patients were HBeAg
negative throughout. One SAE occurred in the study: post-
ASO treatment ALT flare to 781 U/L (24xULN) in a patient
with HBsAg and HBV DNA reductions to <LLoQ. A post-ASO
ALT flare to 479 U/L (15xULN) occurred in the other <LLoQ
patient. Otherwise, the AEs in >1 ASO patient and with higher
incidence than placebo patients were pyrexia (22%), injection
site (IS) pruritis (17%), and anemia, myalgia and IS pain
(11% each) Conclusion: Dose-related reductions of HBsAg
levels were observed with only 4-week ISIS 505358 treatment
indicating the ASO has significant inhibitory activity against
HBsAg and HBV DNA. The tolerability and safety were
acceptable for proceeding to longer treatment durations This
study was financially supported by GlaxoSmithKline. |
