BACKGROUND/AIMS: The aim of our study was to define the potential role of virologic response at 12 months of treatment (VR12) in predicting subsequent virologic and clinical outcomes in adefovir (ADV)-treated lamivudine-resistant chronic hepatitis B.
Two hundred and four patients with lamivudine-resistant chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) treated with ADV monotherapy were included. Serum HBV DNA was quantified by real-time polymerase chain reactions. VR12 was defined as a HBV DNA level of less than 4 log(10) copies/mL after 12 months of ADV treatment.
VR12 was observed in 110 of the 204 patients (54%). The mean HBV DNA reductions from baseline after 12 months of ADV treatment were 3.8 and 1.9 log(10) copies/mL in patients with and without VR12, respectively (p<0.001). The hepatitis B "e" antigen (HBeAg) seroconversion rates in patients with and without VR12 were 32% and 14% at 12 months treatment, respectively (p=0.018), and 40% and 27% at 24 months of treatment (p=0.032). The genotypic mutation rates to ADV in patients with and without VR12 were 0% and 6% at 12 months of treatment, respectively (p=0.033), and 21% and 42% at 24 months (p=0.012). The rates of viral breakthrough in patients with and without VR12 were 0% and 7% at 12 months of treatment, respectively (p=0.072), and 9% and 25% at 24 months (p=0.006).
Patients without VR12 may need to switch to or add on other potent antiviral drugs in their medical regimens.
背景/目的:本研究旨在确定治疗 12 个月时的病毒学应答(VR12)在预测阿德福韦酯(ADV)治疗的拉米夫定耐药慢性乙型肝炎病毒(HBV)患者随后的病毒学和临床结局中的潜在作用。
纳入 204 例接受 ADV 单药治疗的拉米夫定耐药慢性乙型肝炎患者。采用实时聚合酶链反应定量检测血清 HBV DNA。将 ADV 治疗 12 个月后 HBV DNA 水平小于 4 log10 拷贝/ml 定义为 VR12。
204 例患者中有 110 例(54%)达到 VR12。ADV 治疗 12 个月后,分别有 VR12 和无 VR12 的患者 HBV DNA 平均降低 3.8 和 1.9 log10 拷贝/ml(p<0.001)。治疗 12 个月时,分别有 VR12 和无 VR12 的患者 HBeAg 血清学转换率为 32%和 14%(p=0.018),治疗 24 个月时为 40%和 27%(p=0.032)。治疗 12 个月时,分别有 VR12 和无 VR12 的患者 ADV 基因型耐药突变率为 0%和 6%(p=0.033),治疗 24 个月时为 21%和 42%(p=0.012)。治疗 12 个月时,分别有 VR12 和无 VR12 的患者病毒学突破率为 0%和 7%(p=0.072),治疗 24 个月时为 9%和 25%(p=0.006)。
无 VR12 的患者可能需要在其治疗方案中转换或添加其他有效的抗病毒药物。
