Despite the availability of a protective vaccine for over 3 decades, the number of persons with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection remains high. These persons are at risk for cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Current treatment is effective at inhibiting viral replication and reducing complications of chronic HBV infection, but is not curative. There is a need for novel, finite therapy that can cure chronic HBV infection. Several agents are in early-phase development and can be broadly viewed as agents that target the virus directly or indirectly or the host immune response. This article highlights key developments in antiviral/immunomodulatory therapy, the rationale for these approaches, and possible therapeutic regimens.
尽管已有 30 多年的保护疫苗,但慢性乙型肝炎病毒 (HBV) 感染者的人数仍然居高不下。这些人有发展为肝硬化和肝细胞癌的风险。目前的治疗方法可以有效抑制病毒复制,减少慢性 HBV 感染的并发症,但无法治愈。需要新的、有限的治疗方法来治愈慢性 HBV 感染。有几种药物处于早期开发阶段,可以大致分为直接或间接针对病毒或宿主免疫反应的药物。本文重点介绍抗病毒/免疫调节治疗方面的重要进展,这些方法的原理以及可能的治疗方案。
