Tenofovir Alafenamide to Prevent Perinatal Hepatitis B Transmission: A Multicenter, Prospective, Observational Study
CID Jan 4 2021

Summary: Rare clinical data are available regarding TAF treatment during pregnancy. This multicenter, prospective, TDF-controlled, observational study demonstrated that TAF was safe for highly viremic pregnant women and their infants and reduced the mother-to-child transmission rate of HBV to 0%.
This study was accepted as an Oral Presentation (publication number: 0160) by the 2020 AASLD Annual Meeting and has been selected for inclusion in the Best of The Liver Meeting summary slide deck in the Hepatitis B category and awarded the AASLD International Early Career Investigator Award (to Dr. Qing-Lei Zeng).
In China, TAF was licensed for the treatment of CHB in December 2018; the drug label indicates, "TAF can be used during pregnancy if necessary", but it discourages breastfeeding when taking TAF. In real-world clinical practice, an increasing number of highly viremic pregnant Chinese women take TAF as antiviral prophylaxis for the prevention of MTCT of HBV. In this report, we describe the safety and effectiveness of TAF to prevent MTCT of HBV in a real-world setting.
Abstract
Background
Few safety and effectiveness results have been published regarding the administration of tenofovir alafenamide fumarate (TAF) during pregnancy for the prevention of mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) of hepatitis B virus (HBV).
Methods
In this multicenter prospective observational study, pregnant women with HBV DNA levels higher than 200,000 IU/ml who received TAF or tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) from gestational weeks 24-35 to delivery were 1:1 enrolled and followed until postpartum month 6. Infants received immunoprophylaxis. The primary endpoint was the safety of mothers and infants. The secondary endpoint was the hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)-positive rate at 7 months for infants.
Results
In total, 116 and 116 mothers were enrolled, and 117 and 116 infants were born, in the TAF and TDF groups, respectively. TAF was well tolerated during a mean treatment duration of 11.0 weeks. The most common maternal adverse event was nausea (19.0%). One (0.9%), 3 (2.6%), and 9 (7.8%) mothers had abnormal alanine aminotransferase levels at delivery and at postpartum months 3 and 6, respectively. The TDF group had safety profiles that were comparable to those of the TAF group. No infants had birth defects in either group. The infants' physical and neurological development at birth and at 7 months in the TAF group were comparable with those in the TDF group. The HBsAg positive rate was 0% at 7 months in all 233 infants.
Conclusion
Antiviral prophylaxis with TAF was determined to be generally safe for both mothers and infants and reduced the MTCT rate to 0%. |
