Background: JNJ-6379 is a CAM-N currently in phase 2
clinical development Previous in vitro analysis showed that
single amino acid (aa) substitutions in HBV core protein can
lead to reduced susceptibility to CAMs In an ongoing phase
2a study (NCT03361956), CHB patients received JNJ-6379 at
doses of 75mg QD or 250mg QD as monotherapy (open label)
or in combination with TDF/ETV (placebo-controlled) In the
75mg and 250mg JNJ-6379 monotherapy arms (N=28 and 32
respectively), viral breakthroughs (VBT; confirmed >1log10 IU/
mL increase in HBV DNA from nadir) were observed in 5 and
1 patient, respectively, which led to discontinuation of JNJ-
6379 monotherapy treatment arms Here we present the viral
sequencing analysis of patients treated with monotherapy
Methods: HBV DNA was extracted from serum and HBV
genome was sequenced using next generation sequencing
(NGS). Baseline aa polymorphisms were defined as changes
versus the universal HBV reference sequence (sequence
read frequency >15%). Emerging mutations were defined
as aa changes compared to baseline sequence (frequency
<1% at baseline and ≥15% post-baseline). Results: In the 5
patients in the 75mg arm, VBT was associated with emerging
T33N core protein mutation (JNJ-6379 in vitro fold change
in EC50 value [FC] of 85) Except for one VBT patient (GTE),
who had baseline polymorphism Y118F (FC=6 6) and
showed HBV DNA increase from Week 4 onwards, all other
VBT patients had profound HBV DNA declines until Week 12
One additional 75mg treated patient had unconfirmed VBT at
Week 32 and emerging F23Y mutation (FC=5 2) One 250mg
treated patient had a non-response with <1log10 IU/mL decline
in HBV DNA at Week 4 and subsequently experienced VBT
at Week 8 This patient (GT-E) had no emerging mutations at
core protein positions of interest and carried I105T baseline
polymorphism (FC of 2 7) Eight additional monotherapy
treated patients did not meet VBT criteria but had a shallow
second phase of their HBV DNA profile and had emerging
T33N (N=7) or F23Y (N=1) mutation One patient with VBT and
emerging T33N showed ALT flare at time of VBT, JNJ-6379
was switched to TDF and had subsequent profound HBsAg
and HBV DNA decline Conclusion: JNJ-6379 monotherapy
resulted in VBT which was associated with the selection of
JNJ-6379 resistant variants ETV/TDF treatment (either as
switch [75mg arm] or add-on [250mg arm], respectively])
was initiated in all monotherapy patients and resulted in HBV
DNA declines No VBT was observed during JNJ-6379+NA
combination therapy.
