For patients coinfected with hepatitis C virus (HCV) and hepatitis B virus (HBV), HCV treatment with direct-acting antivirals can lead to HBV reactivation. We evaluated HBV reactivation during ledipasvir/sofosbuvir treatment and 108-week follow-up.
In Taiwan, 111 patients with HCV genotype 1 or 2 and HBV received ledipasvir/sofosbuvir (90mg/400mg) once daily for 12 weeks. HBV virologic reactivation was defined as postbaseline increase in HBV DNA from either less than the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ, 20 IU/mL) to equal to or more than LLOQ or equal to or more than LLOQ to >1 log10 IU/mL. HBV clinical reactivation was HBV virologic reactivation with alanine aminotransferase (ALT) >2× upper limit of normal. Factors associated with development of HBV virologic or clinical reactivation were evaluated with logistic regression analysis.
All patients (100%, 111/111) maintained HCV suppression through 108 weeks after treatment. HBV virologic reactivation occurred in 73% of patients (81/111). Clinical reactivation occurred in 9% (10/111). The majority of HBV virologic reactivations (86%, 70/81) occurred by follow-up week 12, whereas clinical reactivation was generally more delayed. Eight (7%, 8/111) initiated HBV therapy. In regression analyses, baseline HBV DNA and hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) levels were associated with HBV virologic reactivation and baseline ALT and HBV DNA, and HBsAg levels were associated with HBV clinical reactivation.
Among HCV/HBV coinfected patients treated with direct-acting antivirals for HCV, HBV virologic reactivation occurred in a majority of patients during treatment and follow-up. In most patients, HBV virologic reactivation was asymptomatic; only a small proportion initiated HBV treatment. Notably, clinical reactivation may still occur >3 months after end of therapy.

对于丙型肝炎病毒 (HCV) 和乙型肝炎病毒 (HBV) 合并感染的患者,直接作用抗病毒药物治疗 HCV 可导致 HBV 再激活。我们评估了 ledipasvir/sofosbuvir 治疗期间和 108 周随访期间的 HBV 再激活情况。
在台湾,111 例 HCV 基因型 1 或 2 合并 HBV 的患者接受 ledipasvir/sofosbuvir(90mg/400mg)每日 1 次治疗 12 周。HBV 病毒学再激活定义为基线后 HBV DNA 从低于定量下限(LLOQ,20IU/ml)增加到等于或大于 LLOQ,或等于或大于 LLOQ 到>1 log10 IU/ml。HBV 临床再激活是指 HBV 病毒学再激活伴丙氨酸氨基转移酶(ALT)>2×正常值上限。采用 logistic 回归分析评估与 HBV 病毒学或临床再激活相关的因素。
所有患者(100%,111/111)在治疗后 108 周均维持 HCV 抑制。73%(81/111)的患者发生 HBV 病毒学再激活。9%(10/111)的患者发生临床再激活。大多数 HBV 病毒学再激活(86%,70/81)发生在随访第 12 周,而临床再激活通常更延迟。8 例(7%,8/111)开始 HBV 治疗。在回归分析中,基线 HBV DNA 和乙型肝炎表面抗原(HBsAg)水平与 HBV 病毒学再激活相关,基线 ALT 和 HBV DNA、HBsAg 水平与 HBV 临床再激活相关。
在接受直接作用抗病毒药物治疗 HCV 的 HCV/HBV 合并感染患者中,大多数患者在治疗和随访期间发生 HBV 病毒学再激活。在大多数患者中,HBV 病毒学再激活无症状;只有一小部分患者开始接受 HBV 治疗。值得注意的是,治疗结束后仍可能发生>3 个月的临床再激活。
