Background: Currently available treatment options for
chronic hepatitis B (CHB) are not recommended for HBeAg
negative patients with a low viral load These patients may
however benefit from achieving functional cure, defined by
HBsAg loss The aim of this study was to evaluate the longterm
clinical outcome and especially the rate of HBsAg loss
after combination treatment with peg-interferon-alpha-2a
(peg-IFN) and adefovir (ADV) or tenofovir (TDF) compared to
no treatment in CHB patients with a low viral load Methods:
In a prospective open-label randomized controlled trial
described earlier, 151 HBeAg negative CHB patients were
included and treated with peg-IFN 180 μg/week + ADV 10 mg/
day (n=52), peg-IFN 180 μg/week + TDF 245 mg/day (n=51),
or no treatment (n=48) for 48 weeks All patients had HBVDNA
levels below 20,000 IU/mL at inclusion For the longterm
follow-up, patients were monitored for 5 years after end
of treatment The primary outcome was HBsAg loss and the
secondary objective was to study dynamics of HBsAg and
HBV-DNA levels over time Results: Of the initial intention-to treat
population who completed the study (134), 105 patients
completed the 5-year follow-up Of these 105 patients, HBsAg
loss was achieved in 6/35 (17 1%) patients treated with peg-
IFN/ADV, in 4/31 (12 9 %) patients treated with peg-IFN/TDF
and in 6/39 (15 4%) of the untreated patients HBsAg levels at
baseline were an independent predictor of HBsAg loss (odds
ratio 0 039, CI-95% 0 004-0 366, p=0 014) in the groups of
patients treated with peg-IFN and ADV/TDF combined, while
this association was not found in the untreated group HBsAg
levels of 2 61 Log10 IU/mL as cut-off resulted in a negative
predictive value of 98 1% and a positive predictive value of
75% for HBsAg loss after treatment In the peg-IFN/ADV,
peg-IFN/TDF and no-treatment group, HBsAg levels declined
with -0 38, -0 45 and -0 79 Log10 IU/mL respectively and HBVDNA
levels with -0 54, -0 035, -0 37 Log10 IU/mL respectively
No significant differences were found between treated and
untreated patients regarding HBsAg loss, HBsAg-decline
or HBV-DNA decline Conclusion: This study shows that,
in CHB patients with a low viral load, combination therapy
with peg-IFN and ADV or TDF does not lead to an increase
of HBsAg loss compared to no treatment Baseline HBsAg
levels are, as previously observed in patients with high viral
load, an independent predictor of HBsAg loss after treatment
in low viral load CHB patients. |
