Abstract
Background: A prospective pilot study of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) and pegylated interferon alpha 2a (P-IFN) add-on therapy was conducted to evaluate its efficacy in reducing viral antigen levels in Japanese patients with chronic hepatitis B (UMIN 000020179).
Methods: Patients with chronic hepatitis B receiving maintenance TDF therapy and exhibiting hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) level > 800 IU/ml were divided into two arms. P-IFN was added for 48 weeks in the add-on arm (n = 32), while TDF monotherapy was maintained in the control arm (n = 51). Both groups were followed for 96 weeks after baseline measurements.
Results: Almost all patients in the control arm displayed a slow and constant reduction in HBsAg during follow-up. In contrast, roughly half of the add-on arm exhibited a sharp decline in HBsAg during P-IFN administration, which disappeared after halting P-IFN. At 96 weeks after baseline, 41% (13/32) of patients in the add-on arm had shown a rapid decrease in HBsAg, versus 2% (1/51) in the control arm (p < 0.001). Add-on therapy and increased cytotoxic T-cell response were significant factors associated with a rapid decrease in HBsAg according to multivariate analysis. In addition, higher HB core-related antigen (HBcrAg) level at baseline (p = 0.001) and add-on therapy (p = 0.036) were significant factors associated with a rapid reduction in HBcrAg.
Conclusions: TDF and P-IFN add-on therapy in Japanese patients with chronic hepatitis B facilitated rapid decreases in HBsAg and HBcrAg. Further studies are needed to improve early HBsAg clearance rate.
