Background: The phase 2, open-label, single-arm, multicenter PENGUIN study (NCT04667104) assessed the efficacy
and safety of treatment with JNJ-3989, JNJ-6379, NA, and PegIFN-α2a in virologically suppressed (VS), hepatitis B e
antigen positive (HBeAg+) or negative (HBeAg-) CHB patients with hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) >100 IU/mL.
Here, we present the results up to end of treatment (Week 24 [W24]). Methods: Patients on NA received JNJ-3989
and JNJ-6379 (some did not start/discontinued due to protocol amendment) for 24 weeks with PegIFN-α2a added
during the final 12 weeks of treatment. The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients with HBsAg reduction from
baseline (BL) of ≥2 log10 IU/mL at W24. Changes in viral markers from BL and the proportion of patients meeting
NA stopping criteria (HBsAg <10 IU/mL, HBeAg-, HBV DNA <lower limit of quantitation [LLOQ], and alanine
transaminase <3× upper limit of normal) at W24 were also assessed. Results: A total of 48 HBeAg+ (n=11) and
HBeAg- (n=37) VS CHB patients were enrolled. Thirty-one (64.6%) patients met the primary endpoint of HBsAg
reduction ≥2 log10 IU/mL at W24, and 1 (2.1%) patient achieved seroclearance (HBsAg <0.05 IU/mL). JNJ-
3989±JNJ-6379+NA resulted in mean (SE) HBsAg changes from BL (3.27 [0.09] log10 IU/mL) of -1.43 (0.07) log10
IU/mL at W12 and -2.18 (0.08) log10 IU/mL at W24 (Figure). Forty-four (91.7%) and 23 (47.9%) patients had HBsAg
<100 and <10 IU/mL at W24, respectively. For HBeAg+ patients, mean (SE) changes in HBeAg were -0.68 (0.09) log10
IU/mL at W12 and -0.72 (0.11) log10 IU/mL at W24. Of 11 HBeAg+ patients, 4 (36.4%) and 3 (27.3%) reached HBeAg
seroclearance at W12 and W24, respectively. At W24, 15 (31.3%) patients met predefined NA stopping criteria. Of all
patients not meeting NA criteria, 76.0% failed to attain HBsAg <10 IU/mL; of HBeAg+ patients, missing HBeAg
seroclearance was the leading reason (72.7%). All treatments were safe and well tolerated; adverse events (AEs) and
laboratory abnormalities from W12 to W24 were in line with the known safety profile of PegIFN-α2a. There were no
serious AEs, and only 1 AE (grade 4 neutropenia) led to discontinuation of PegIFN-α2a. Conclusion: Addition of JNJ-
3989±JNJ-6379 and PegIFN-α2a to NA was generally safe and well tolerated in PENGUIN and resulted in profound
HBsAg reduction and a high proportion of patients achieving HBsAg <100 IU/mL at W24. The additional antiviral effect
of PegIFN-α2a in this regimen needs further evaluation.
