BACKGROUND/AIMS: Efficacy and safety of interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha)/ribavirin retreatment with or without amantadine sulphate were evaluated in non-responders with chronic hepatitis C.
Two hundred twenty five consecutive non-responders to previous antiviral treatment(s) with IFN-alpha alone or in combination with ribavirin or amantadine were treated with IFN-alpha 2b 5 MU daily for 4 weeks, 5 MU tiw for 20 weeks, followed by 3 MU tiw for additional 24 weeks combined with ribavirin 1000-1200 mg/d. One hundred fifteen of 225 patients were randomized to receive amantadine sulphate 100 mg bid for 48 weeks. Treatment was discontinued in patients with detectable serum hepatitis C virus (HCV)-RNA at treatment week 24.
An overall sustained virologic response with undectable serum HCV-RNA levels was observed in 49/225 patients (22%). Patients infected with HCV-genotype non-1 (P<0.001), low viremia (P=0.011) and only one previous antiviral treatment (P=0.032) were more likely to respond to antiviral retreatment. There was a trend towards higher sustained virologic response rates in patients receiving triple retreatment compared with those treated with IFN-alpha/ribavirin alone (25 versus 18%, P=0.172).
The addition of amantadine was well tolerated and led to an improvement of sustained virologic responses compared with retreatment with IFN-alpha/ribavirin alone, in particular in patients with low baseline viremia.
背景/目的:评估在慢性丙型肝炎无应答者中,使用或不使用硫酸金刚烷胺的情况下,α-干扰素(IFN-α)/利巴韦林再治疗的疗效和安全性。
对225例先前单独使用IFN-α或联合利巴韦林或金刚烷胺进行抗病毒治疗无应答的患者,先给予IFN-α 2b每日5 MU,共4周,然后每周3次,每次5 MU,共20周,随后每周3次,每次3 MU,再持续24周,并联合利巴韦林1000 - 1200 mg/d。225例患者中的115例被随机分配接受硫酸金刚烷胺100 mg,每日2次,共48周。在治疗第24周时血清丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)-RNA仍可检测到的患者停止治疗。
225例患者中有49例(22%)观察到血清HCV-RNA水平不可检测的总体持续病毒学应答。感染非1型HCV基因型(P<0.001)、低病毒血症(P=0.011)且仅接受过一次先前抗病毒治疗(P=0.032)的患者更有可能对抗病毒再治疗产生应答。与单独使用IFN-α/利巴韦林治疗的患者相比,接受三联再治疗的患者持续病毒学应答率有升高趋势(分别为25%和18%,P=0.172)。
与单独使用IFN-α/利巴韦林再治疗相比,加用金刚烷胺耐受性良好,且能改善持续病毒学应答,尤其是基线病毒血症较低的患者。
