Greater Antiviral Effect with Telbivudine (LdT) in a Phase IIb Comparative Trial of LdT, Epivir-HBV and the Combination in Hepatitis B Patients
One promising HBV drug now in Phase II testing is telbivudine (L杁eoxythymidine [LdT]). LdT showed marked antiviral effects, with no identified safety issues, in a recent 4-week trial in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients, which prompted the current multi-national one-year trial.
This randomized multicenter study compared the one-year efficacy and safety of LdT 400 or 600 mg/day, and LdT 400 or 600 mg/day combined with Epivir-HBV (lamivudine), to standard lamivudine (Lam) 100 mg/day in adults with CHB.
The primary efficacy measure was serum HBV DNA reduction over time, assayed by PCR. Key secondary endpoints included serum ALT normalization, HBeAg loss or seroconversion, and safety.
104 HBeAg-seropositive patients with CHB were enrolled. At week 52, median reductions in serum HBV DNA, in log10 copies/mL, for the 5 treatment groups were: 4.66 for Lam, 6.43 for LdT 400 mg/d, 6.09 for LdT 600 mg/d, 6.40 for LdT 400 mg/d + Lam, and 6.05 for LdT 600 mg/d + Lam. Key efficacy results at Week 52 for comparisons of treatment type (Lam vs LdT vs Combination) are as follows:
Lam LdT Lam + LdT
Mean HBV DNA ↓ -4.57 -6.09* -5.99*
HBV DNA-neg by PCR 6/19 (32%) 28/44 (64%)* 20/41 (49%)
ALT normalization 12/19 (63%) 36/42 (86%)* 31/40 (78%)
HBeAg loss 5/18 (28%) 14/42 (33%) 7/41 (17%)
*p < 0.05 vs. Lam
All study treatments were well tolerated.
The authors conclude, 揃eneficial treatment effects were consistently greater for LdT vs Lam monotherapy, but there was no advantage for LdT + Lam over LdT alone. LdT appears likely to afford better anti-HBV efficacy, with no identified safety issues to date. International Phase III trials of LdT are underway.?/span>
