The course of maternal antiviral prophylaxis to prevent mother-to-child transmission of hepatitis B virus (HBV-MTCT) varies greatly, and it has not been demonstrated in a randomized controlled study.
In this multicenter, open-label, randomized controlled trial, eligible pregnant women with HBV DNA of 5.3-9.0 log 10 IU/mL who received tenofovir alafenamide fumarate (TAF) from the first day of 33 gestational weeks to delivery (expected 8 week) or to 4 weeks postpartum (expected 12 week) were randomly enrolled at a 1:1 ratio and followed until 6 months postpartum. All infants received standard immunoprophylaxis (hepatitis B immunoglobulin and vaccine). The primary end point was the safety of mothers and infants. The secondary end point was the HBV-MTCT rate of infants at the age of 7 months.
Among 119 and 120 intention-to-treat pregnant women, 115 and 116 women were followed until delivery, and 110 and 112 per-protocol mother-infant dyads in 2 groups completed the study. Overall, TAF was well tolerated, no one discontinued the therapy due to adverse events (0/239, 0%, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0%-1.6%), and no infant had congenital defects or malformations at delivery (0/231, 0%, 95% CI 0%-1.6%). The infants' physical development at birth (n = 231) and at 7 months (n = 222) was normal. Furthermore, 97.0% (224/231, 95% CI 93.9%-98.5%) of women achieved HBV DNA <5.3 log 10 IU/mL at delivery. The intention-to-treat and per-protocol infants' HBV-MTCT rates were 7.1% (17/239, 95% CI 4.5%-11.1%) and 0% (0/222, 95% CI 0%-1.7%) at the age of 7 months. Comparatively, 15.1% (18/119, 95% CI 9.8%-22.7%) vs 18.3% (22/120, 95% CI 12.4%-26.2%) of women in the 2 groups had mildly elevated alanine aminotransferase levels at 3 months and 6 months postpartum, respectively ( P = 0.507); notably, no one experienced alanine aminotransferase flare (0% [0/119, 95% CI 0%-3.1%] vs 0% [0/120, 0%-3.1%]).
Maternal TAF prophylaxis to prevent HBV-MTCT is generally safe and effective, and expected 8-week prenatal duration is feasible. ClinicalTrials.gov , NCT04850950.
预防乙型肝炎病毒母婴传播(HBV-MTCT)的母体抗病毒预防疗程差异很大,且尚未在随机对照研究中得到证实。
在这项多中心、开放标签、随机对照试验中,符合条件的HBV DNA为5.3 - 9.0 log₁₀ IU/mL的孕妇,从妊娠33周第一天开始接受替诺福韦艾拉酚胺富马酸盐(TAF)治疗直至分娩(预期8周)或产后4周(预期12周),按1:1比例随机入组并随访至产后6个月。所有婴儿均接受标准免疫预防(乙肝免疫球蛋白和疫苗)。主要终点是母亲和婴儿的安全性。次要终点是7个月龄婴儿的HBV-MTCT率。
在119例和120例意向性治疗孕妇中,115例和116例孕妇随访至分娩,两组中分别有110对和112对符合方案的母婴二元组完成研究。总体而言,TAF耐受性良好,无人因不良事件停药(0/239,0%,95%置信区间[CI] 0% - 1.6%),且分娩时无婴儿有先天性缺陷或畸形(0/231,0%,95% CI 0% - 1.6%)。婴儿出生时(n = 231)和7个月时(n = 222)的身体发育正常。此外,97.0%(224/231,95% CI 93.9% - 98.5%)的女性在分娩时HBV DNA <5.3 log₁₀ IU/mL。意向性治疗和符合方案的婴儿在7个月龄时的HBV-MTCT率分别为7.1%(17/239,95% CI 4.5% - 11.1%)和0%(0/222,95% CI 0% - 1.7%)。相比之下,两组中分别有15.1%(18/119,95% CI 9.8% - 22.7%)和18.3%(22/120,95% CI 12.4% - 26.2%)的女性在产后3个月和6个月时丙氨酸氨基转移酶水平轻度升高(P = 0.507);值得注意的是,无人经历丙氨酸氨基转移酶突发(0% [0/119,95% CI 0% - 3.1%] 对0% [0/120,0% - 3.1%])。
母体TAF预防HBV-MTCT总体安全有效,并预期8周的产前疗程是可行的。ClinicalTrials.gov,NCT04850950。
