Abstract
Aims: Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) loss is associated with disease control and improvement of prognosis. Therefore, it is regarded as the optimal treatment endpoint for chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients. Pegylated interferon (PegIFN)-based extended therapy regimens was assessed in several studies. In order to summarize a conclusion on the HBsAg loss rate and safety in this regimen, a systematic review and meta-analysis was performed.
Methods: Studies on Hepatitis B and PegIFN were searched thoroughly in Pubmed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library from inception to November 18, 2019. The primary endpoint of this study was the HBsAg loss rate at the end of the extended duration therapy. The secondary endpoint was safety. All analyses were performed by using the R3.6.1 version Software. Quality assessment of RCTs was carried out by using Review manager 5.3.
Results: A total of nine studies, including 545 CHB patients met the inclusion criteria. The pooled HBsAg loss rate after PegIFN-based extended duration therapy was 11% (95% CI: 0.05-0.19), I2 = 82%, P < 0.01(Q test). The extended duration therapy regimen was safe and tolerable. Subgroup analysis showed HBsAg loss rates were 14% (95% CI: 0.04-0.29) and 10% (95% CI: 0.02-0.20) respectively for HBeAg positive and HBeAg negative patients (P = 0.52). HBsAg loss rates were 11%(95%CI:0.03-0.22)and 12%(95%CI:0.04-0.24)respectively for PegIFN monotherapy and PegIFN with Nucleos(t)ide analogs (NAs) therapy (P = 0.84). HBsAg loss rates were 25% (95% CI: 0.19-0.31) and 8% (95% CI: 0.03-0.15) respectively for the advantageous group and non-advantageous group (P = 0.001).
Conclusions: For CHB patients, extended duration of PegIFNα-based treatment for more than 48 weeks is likely to improve HBsAg clearance rate. Specially, the advantageous group will benefit a lot. In addition, the extended duration therapy regimen is safe and tolerable.
