Abstract
Background: This study investigated the incidence and predictors of hepatitis B virus (HBV) relapse in patients with hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)-positive chronic hepatitis B (CHB) who discontinued entecavir or tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF).
Methods: A total of 205 and 111 HBeAg-positive patients without cirrhosis who had stopped entecavir or TDF treatment, respectively, for at least 6 months were recruited.
Results: In the entire cohort, patients with HBeAg seroconversion during treatment and propensity score (PS)-matched patients, patients who discontinued TDF had significantly higher rates of virological and clinical relapse than patients who discontinued entecavir therapy. Multivariate analysis identified TDF were independently associated with virological and clinical relapse in the entire cohort and subgroups analysis. Patients with HBeAg loss without anti-HBe antibody formation during treatment had significantly higher rates of off-therapy HBV relapse and HBeAg seroreversion than patients with HBeAg seroconversion during treatment. The HBcrAg level at end of treatment (EOT) was independently associated with HBV relapse and HBeAg seroreversion in all patients and patients with HBeAg seroconversion during treatment.
Conclusions: TDF therapy, HBeAg loss without seroconversion during treatment and higher HBcrAg levels at EOT are significant predictors of HBV relapse in HBeAg-positive patients who discontinued entecavir or TDF.
