Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) is active against hepatitis B virus (HBV) and HIV. However, the long-term efficacy of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) is not well known and the appearance of resistance is a major concern. We have studied the efficacy of TDF against HBV in patients treated at an Infectious Diseases Unit.
We carried out a retrospective observational study of the efficacy of TDF against HBV replication in a cohort of 52 HIV-coinfected patients who received TDF for at least 6 months.
The median duration of follow-up of TDF treatment was 34 months. Forty-one patients (79%) were positive for HBV envelope antigen (HBeAg) and 35 had received previous lamivudine monotherapy for a median duration of 32 months. Virological breakthrough was observed in nine cases (17%). At the end of the follow-up period, HBV DNA levels were <1000 copies/mL in 42 patients (81%) and <200 copies/mL in 31 patients (60%). There were no significant differences between the lamivudine-naïve and lamivudine-experienced groups. In the lamivudine-experienced group, the duration of previous lamivudine monotherapy was associated with failure to achieve HBV DNA levels <200 copies/mL (P=0.036). Adding lamivudine or emtricitabine to TDF did not improve virological suppression. In 39 patients who achieved <200 HBV DNA copies/mL during TDF treatment, virological breakthrough was seen only in two patients (5%) after a median follow-up duration of 39.7 months.
TDF was able to control HBV replication in most HIV-coinfected patients after a median follow-up duration of 34 months, regardless of previous lamivudine treatment. However, a sizeable proportion of patients developed virological breakthrough.
富马酸替诺福韦二吡呋酯(TDF)对乙型肝炎病毒(HBV)和 HIV 均具有活性。然而,TDF 的长期疗效尚不清楚,耐药性的出现是一个主要关注点。我们研究了 TDF 在传染病科治疗的 HIV 合并感染患者中对 HBV 的疗效。
我们对至少接受 6 个月 TDF 治疗的 52 例 HIV 合并感染患者的 HBV 复制的 TDF 疗效进行了回顾性观察性研究。
TDF 治疗的中位随访时间为 34 个月。41 例患者(79%)HBV 包膜抗原(HBeAg)阳性,35 例患者之前接受过拉米夫定单药治疗,中位持续时间为 32 个月。9 例(17%)出现病毒学突破。随访期末,42 例患者(81%)HBV DNA 水平<1000 拷贝/ml,31 例患者(60%)HBV DNA 水平<200 拷贝/ml。拉米夫定初治组和拉米夫定经治组之间无显著差异。在拉米夫定经治组中,之前拉米夫定单药治疗的持续时间与未能达到 HBV DNA 水平<200 拷贝/ml 相关(P=0.036)。在 TDF 治疗中添加拉米夫定或恩曲他滨并不能改善病毒学抑制。在 39 例达到 TDF 治疗期间 HBV DNA<200 拷贝/ml 的患者中,仅在中位随访 39.7 个月后有 2 例患者(5%)出现病毒学突破。
在中位随访 34 个月后,TDF 能够控制大多数 HIV 合并感染患者的 HBV 复制,无论之前是否接受过拉米夫定治疗。然而,相当一部分患者出现了病毒学突破。
