Abstract
Despite good hepatitis B virus (HBV) inhibition by nucleoside analogs (NAs), cases of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) still occur. This study proposed a non-invasive predictive model to assess HCC risk in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) receiving NAs treatment. Data were obtained from a hospital-based retrospective cohort registered on the Platform of Medical Data Science Academy of Chongqing Medical University, from 2013 to 2019. A total of 501 patients under NAs treatment had their FIB-4 index updated semiannually by recalculation based on laboratory values. Patients were divided into three groups based on FIB-4 index values: < 1.45, 1.45-3.25, and ≥ 3.25. Subsequently, HCC incidence was reassessed every six months using Kaplan-Meier curves based on the updated FIB-4 index. The median follow-up time of CHB patients after receiving NAs treatment was 2.5 years. HCC incidences with FIB-4 index < 1.45, 1.45-3.25, and ≥ 3.25 were 1.18%, 1.32%, and 9.09%, respectively. Dynamic assessment showed that the percentage of patients with FIB-4 index < 1.45 significantly increased semiannually (P < 0.001), and of patients with FIB-4 index ≥ 3.25 significantly decreased (P < 0.001). HCC incidence was the highest among patients with FIB-4 index ≥ 3.25. The FIB-4 index effectively predicted HCC incidence, and its dynamic assessment could be used for regular surveillance to implement early intervention and reduce HCC risk.

Switching from entecavir to tenofovir alafenamide for maintaining complete virological response in chronic hepatitis B. JGH Open 2023; 7:567-571. [PMID: 37649865 PMCID: PMC10463023 DOI: 10.1002/jgh3.12950] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2023] [Revised: 06/13/2023] [Accepted: 07/11/2023] [Indexed: 09/01/2023]
Abstract
Background and Aim Hepatocellular carcinoma development can be decreased by achieving and maintaining complete virological response (CVR) in chronic hepatitis B. However, it is unclear whether switching from entecavir (ETV) to tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) could achieve and maintain CVR in patients with low-level viremia (LLV; HBV DNA ≤ 3.3 log IU/mL) or occasional detectable HBV DNA during ETV treatment. Therefore, we aimed to examine whether the switching from ETV to TAF is effective in achieving CVR in patients with LLV or occasional detectable HBV DNA. Methods This study comprised 45 patients who switched from ETV to TAF. All patients received ETV and TAF for >2 years, and the HBV DNA levels were measured every 3 months. Maintaining undetectable HBV DNA during 2-year period is defined as CVR. The primary endpoint is the CVR rate during ETV and TAF treatment. Results The CVR rate for each of the 2 years of ETV and TAF therapy was 33.3% (15/45) and 68.9% (31/45, P < 0.01), respectively, and the CVR rate increased by switching from ETV to TAF. In patients with occasional detectable HBV DNA during ETV treatment (22 patients), 15 achieved CVR and 7 maintained occasional detectable HBV DNA. In patients with LLV during ETV treatment (eight patients), three achieved CVR and five had occasional detectable HBV DNA. Conclusion Switching from ETV to TAF increases the CVR rate in patients with LLV or occasional detectable HBV DNA and could be an alternative treatment option.

Effect of fatty liver and fibrosis on hepatocellular carcinoma development in patients with chronic hepatitis B who received nucleic acid analog therapy. J Viral Hepat 2023; 30:297-302.

Abstract
The number of patients with fatty liver has been increasing worldwide; however, the significance of fatty liver in patients with chronic hepatitis B who are receiving nucleic acid analog (NA) therapy remains unclear. Thus, we aimed to determine whether fatty liver affects the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in patients receiving NA therapy. This study included 445 patients who received NA therapy, and the development of HCC was investigated. The primary outcome was the association between fatty liver and HCC development. During a mean follow-up period of 7.4 years, 46 patients (10.3%) developed HCC. No significant difference in the cumulative incidence of HCC was observed between patients with fatty liver and those without (p = 0.17). Multivariable analysis for age, gender, platelet count, alanine aminotransferase level at 1 year following NA therapy, and fatty liver revealed that the presence of fatty liver was not a significant factor for HCC development (hazard ratio [HR]: 0.96, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.5-1.9). In another multivariable analysis for advanced fibrosis, gender, and fatty liver, advanced fibrosis was found to be a significant factor for HCC development (HR: 9.50, 95% CI: 5.1-18) but not fatty liver (HR: 0.90, 95% CI: 0.5-1.7). In conclusion, in patients with chronic hepatitis B who received NA therapy, advanced fibrosis was found to be an important risk factor for HCC development but not fatty liver, suggesting the importance of providing treatment before the progression of liver fibrosis regardless of the presence of fatty liver.

Abstract
AIM Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) is a criterion for the introduction of nucleotide/nucleoside analog (NA), and ALT levels are decreased by NA treatment. However, the association between post-treatment ALT levels and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) risk remains unclear. To fill this gap, we aimed to establish a target value of ALT level during NA treatment. METHODS In total, 413 patients with chronic hepatitis B who received entecavir, tenofovir alafenamide, or tenofovir disoproxil fumarate were enrolled. The subsequent development of HCC was examined and a target value of ALT level during NA treatment as a risk marker for HCC was evaluated. RESULTS The median follow-up duration was 5.1 years, during which time 27 patients (8.6%) developed HCC. ALT level at the start of treatment was not associated with HCC development (p = 0.08). When stratified by ALT at 1 year after NA initiation, the cumulative 3- and 5-year rates of HCC for patients with ALT ≥21 IU/L were 11.5% and 18.1%, and those with ALT <21 IU/L was 2.3% and 6.5%, respectively. Patients with ALT <21 IU/L had a significantly lower risk of HCC development compared with patients with ALT ≥21 IU/L (p = 0.002). In multivariable analysis adjusting age, sex, and platelet counts, ALT ≥21 IU/L was an independent risk factor of HCC development with hazard ratio of 4.5 (95% confidence interval: 1.01-20.4). CONCLUSIONS ALT <21 IU/L at 1 year after NA initiation has a lower risk of HCC and could be used as a target value for NA treatment.

Abstract
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is associated with the risk of osteoporosis and bone mineral density (BMD) loss. Tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) is associated with a slightly lower degree of BMD loss compared with tenofovir disoproxil, without loss of the excellent anti-HBV effects. The aim of the present study was to verify the effect of bone metabolism in patients with HBV treated with TAF. A total of 87 patients were treated with TAF. Of these, 32 patients were treatment naïve, and 55 patients were treated with entecavir (ETV) for at least 1 year, after which ETV was switched to TAF. At the start of TAF and after 1 year, BMD in the lumbar and neck of the femur, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase isoform 5b (TRACP-5b) levels as a marker of bone metabolism and serum inorganic phosphorus (P) were compared to estimate bone metabolism. Serum creatinine (Cr), cystatin C, urine protein and β2 microglobulin levels were evaluated to estimate kidney function. Treatment with TAF for 1 year decreased TRACP-5b levels, particularly in patients with bone disease, except for a minimal significant change (MSC; decrease of 12.4%) in TRACP-5b levels. The change in rate of TRACP-5b levels were positively associated with changes in P, Cr-estimated glomerular filtration rate and TRACP-5b levels at the start of TAF. Logistic regression analysis showed that increased BMD in the lumbar region contributed to the switch from ETV to TAF. TAF induced a decrease in TRACP-5b levels in patients with HBV. Bone disease was a contributing factor for MSC. Since TRACP-5b can be used as a marker of bone metabolism and fractures, TAF may exhibit potential in preventing fractures in patients with HBV.

Impact of switching to tenofovir alafenamide fumarate in patients with entecavir-treated chronic hepatitis B. Eur J Gastroenterol Hepatol 2021; 33:e898-e904.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Tenofovir alafenamide (TAF), a new tenofovir prodrug, has been developed to circumvent the less favorable safety profile of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF). We investigated reductions in hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) levels in patients with HBV infection who received continuous entecavir (ETV) monotherapy or sequential therapy with ETV and TAF. METHODS This retrospective cohort study included 286 patients who were divided into two groups: continuous ETV monotherapy (ETV group, n = 168) and sequential therapy with ETV and TAF (ETV-TAF group, n = 108). Factors associated with a 90% reduction in HBsAg levels were analyzed by a Cox proportional hazards model using a time-dependent covariate in both groups. RESULTS In the multivariate Cox proportional hazards model, the ETV-TAF group [adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) 2.750; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.265-3.405; P = 0.0038] and BMI ≤ 25.0 kg/m2 (aHR 0.520, 95% CI, 0.308-0.875; P = 0.0139) demonstrated a 90% reduction in HBsAg levels. HBsAg levels of patients in the TAF phase in the ETV-TAF group showed greater yearly percent reductions than those in the ETV group and those in the ETV phase in the ETV-TAF group (P = 0.0361 and P = 0.0022, respectively, Steel-Dwass test). CONCLUSION HBsAg levels decreased more rapidly after patients switched from ETV to TAF. Switching to TAF may be an effective treatment option to reduce HBsAg levels.

Abstract
Background and Aim Administration of tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) as prevention or treatment of hepatitis B virus (HBV) reactivation is not well known. The aim of this study is to reveal the efficacy and safety of TAF against HBV reactivation. Methods Entecavir (ETV) and TAF were given to 66 and 11 patients, respectively, as prophylaxis against or treatment of HBV reactivation during chemotherapy or immune suppression therapy from January 2010 to June 2020. The antiviral effects and safety were assessed. Results At week 24, the antiviral effects on patients receiving ETV and TAF were similar in terms of reduction of HBV DNA (-2.83 ± 1.45log IU/mL vs -3.05 ± 2.47log IU/mL; P = 0.857) and achieving undetectable levels of HBV DNA (78.8 vs 90.9%; P = 0.681). There was no significant difference in the decrease in the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) between the two groups (-0.62 ± 11.2 mL/min/1.73 m2 vs -3.67 ± 13.2 mL/min/1.73 m2; P = 0.291). Conclusion TAF is safe and effective against HBV reactivation.

Comparison of efficacy and safety of entecavir and switching from entecavir to tenofovir alafenamide fumarate in chronic hepatitis B: Long-term effects from a prospective study. Hepatol Res 2021; 51:767-774. [PMID: 33900663 DOI: 10.1111/hepr.13650] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2021] [Revised: 04/18/2021] [Accepted: 04/22/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
AIM Both entecavir (ETV) and tenofovir alafenamide fumarate (TAF) are widely used to treat chronic hepatitis B (CHB) in Japan. However, it remains unclear whether the efficacy of TAF in decreasing the hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) level, and its safety, are superior to those of ETV. This study aimed to report the long-term effects and safety of 96-week ETV and TAF treatment in patients with CHB. METHODS A prospective comparative observational study was undertaken on the following two groups: patients with CHB who received continuous ETV (n = 32) and patients with CHB who were switched from ETV to TAF upon request (n = 48). The HBsAg, urinary β2-microglobulin (β2MG)/creatinine (Cr), urinary N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase (NAG)/Cr, and serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and bone mineral density (lumbar spine and femur) at 96 weeks were compared. RESULTS The two groups did not significantly differ with respect to mean age, male / female patient ratio, or rate of hepatitis B e antigen-positive status. The mean changes in serum HBsAg level and eGFR at 96 weeks were not significantly different between the two groups. The β2MG/Cr and NAG/Cr levels at 96 weeks were similar between the two groups. Additionally, the bone mineral density of the lumbar spine and femur as well as the serum ALT did not significantly differ. CONCLUSIONS When compared with patients who received continuous ETV, those who were introduced to TAF after ETV showed similar effects in terms of the decrease in HBsAg level and safety.

Outcomes of Sequential Therapy With Tenofovir Alafenamide After Long-term Entecavir. Am J Gastroenterol 2021; 116:1264-1273. [PMID: 34074829 DOI: 10.14309/ajg.0000000000001157] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/21/2020] [Accepted: 12/29/2020] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Entecavir (ETV) and tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) are both first-line hepatitis B virus (HBV) therapies, but ETV-to-TAF switch outcome data are limited. We aimed to assess outcomes up to 96 weeks after ETV-to-TAF switch. METHODS ETV-treated (≥12 months) chronic hepatitis B patients switched to TAF in routine practice at 15 centers (United States, Korea, Japan, and Taiwan) were included. Primary outcome was complete viral suppression (CVS) rate (HBV DNA <20 IU/mL). RESULTS We analyzed 425 eligible patients (mean age 60.7 ± 13.2 years, 60% men, 90.8% Asian, 20.7% with diabetes, 27% with hypertension, 14.8% with cirrhosis, 8.3% with hepatocellular carcinoma, and mean ETV duration before switch 6.16 ± 3.17 years). The mean baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was 89 ± 19 (chronic kidney disease [CKD] stages: 55.6% stage 1, 35.7% stage 2, and 8.8% stages 3-5). CVS rate increased from 91.90% at switch (from 90.46% 24 weeks before switch) to 95.57% and 97.21% at 48 and 96 weeks after (P = 0.03 and 0.02, respectively). Over the 96 weeks after switch, mean HBV DNA (P < 0.001) but not alanine aminotransferase or CKD stage decreased. Between switch and 96-week follow-up, 11% (26/235) of CKD stage 1 patients migrated to stage 2 and 8% (12/151) of stage 2 patients to stages 3-5, whereas 18% (27/151) from stage 2 to 1, and 19% (7/37) from stages 3-5 to 2. On multivariable generalized estimated equation analysis adjusted for age, sex, hypertension, diabetes, and cirrhosis, baseline eGFR, age (P < 0.001), and CKD stages 2 and 3-5 (vs 1) (both P < 0.001) were associated with lower follow-up eGFR. DISCUSSION After an average of 6 years on ETV, CVS increased from 91.9% at TAF switch to 97.2% at 96 weeks later.

Abstract
Carcinogenesis risk scores for chronic hepatitis B have been proposed, but it remains unclear whether these scores during nucleoside/nucleotide analogue (NA) therapy are useful for risk assessment. In this study, we examined changes of these scores and the predictability during NA treatment. 432 patients with no history of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treated with NA were enrolled. PAGE-B, modified PAGE-B (mPAGE-B), and REACH-B scores were calculated at NA administration, 1 and 2 years after administration. The median follow-up duration was 5.1 years, during which 37 patients (8.6%) developed HCC. Cumulative incidence HCC development in patients with high risk of PAGE at NA administration, and 1 and 2 years after NA administration was significantly higher than those with intermediate and low-risk groups (p < .05 for all time points), whereas HCC incidence in patients with high risk of mPAGE-B and REACH-B at 2 years after NA administration were equivalent to those with intermediate and low-risk groups (p = .2 for mPAGE-B, and p = .1 for REACH-B). The area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) for HCC development of PAGE-B at NA administration, and 1 and 2 years after administration were 0.773, 0.803 and 0.737, respectively. The AUROCs of PAGE-B at each point were continuously higher than those of REACH-B (0.646, 0.725, and 0.653, respectively) and mPAGE-B (0.754, 0.734, and 0.678, respectively).PAGE-B score has a high diagnostic accuracy for HCC development at any time point during NA treatment, indicating its potential use as a real-time monitor of HCC development.

Abstract
Nucles(t)ide analogs (NAs) are effective for chronic hepatitis B (CHB). NAs suppress hepatic decompensation and hepatocarcinogenesis, leading to a dramatic improvement of the natural course of patients with CHB. However, renal dysfunction is becoming an important issue for the management of CHB. Renal dysfunction develops in patients with the long-term treatment of NAs including adefovir dipivoxil and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate. Recently, several studies have reported that the newly approved tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) has a safe profile for the kidney due to greater plasma stability. In this mini-review, we discuss the effectiveness of switching to TAF for NAs-related renal tubular dysfunction in patients with CHB.

Abstract
Background and Aim Although tenofovir alafenamide (TAF), as well as entecavir (ETV), is widely used as first‐line treatment for patients with chronic hepatitis B, there are only a few studies comparing sequential therapy from ETV to TAF and continuous ETV monotherapy in patients with maintained virologic response to ETV. Methods In a retrospective multicenter study, we investigated the efficacy and safety of sequential therapy from ETV to TAF (ETV‐TAF group) and compared them with continuous ETV monotherapy (ETV group), using propensity score matching, in chronic hepatitis B patients. Results From 442 patients, we analyzed 142 patients from each group comprising 71 patients matched for several data, including age, HBV genotype, hepatitis B envelope antigen, cirrhosis, alanine aminotransferase, platelet count, prior ETV monotherapy period, and hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) change during prior ETV monotherapy. In the ETV‐TAF group, HBsAg levels significantly decreased from baseline to 48 weeks after switching to TAF (−0.02 log IU/mL, P = 0.038). HBcrAg levels also significantly decreased after switching to TAF (−0.1 log IU/mL, P = 0.004). However, there were no significant differences in the reduction of HBsAg and HBcrAg levels between the ETV‐TAF and ETV groups. There was no significant difference in the change of estimated glomerular filtration rate levels from baseline to 48 weeks between the two groups. Conclusions The present study indicated that the efficacy, especially of the HBsAg‐reducing action, and safety of sequential therapy from ETV to TAF were similar to those of continuous ETV monotherapy among chronic hepatitis B patients with maintained virologic response to ETV.

Short-term efficacy after switching from adefovir dipivoxil and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate therapy to tenofovir alaferamide for chronic hepatitis B. Biomed Rep 2020; 14:12. [PMID: 33235727 PMCID: PMC7678628 DOI: 10.3892/br.2020.1388] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2020] [Accepted: 10/29/2020] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of switching to tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) in patients who had received a nucleos(t)ide analog (NA) for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B (CHB). The data from 33 Japanese patients with CHB who received TAF therapy after using NA [adefovir dipivoxil (ADV) and/or tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF)] were retrospectively analyzed. Specifically, the biochemical and virological markers from the start of the TAF treatment to 6 months later were assessed. Comparative evaluation was performed by dividing patients into two groups: Long-term (n=19) and short-term administration groups (n=14), with a cutoff administration duration of 10 years. In all 33 patients, the levels of serum hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg; 1,126±1,724 to 1,001±1,591 IU/ml; P<0.0001), serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) (320±126 to 283±124 U/l; P=0.028), serum bone specific alkaline phosphatase (19.7±9.0 to 17.7±8.0 µg/l; P=0.0006) and urine β2-microglobulin-creatinine ratio (U-BMG/Cr; 5,224±17,471 to 3,547±14,652 µg/g·Cre; P=0.002) significantly decreased from baseline after 6 months. Serum HBsAg, serum ALP and U-BMG/Cr showed a significant reduction in both groups. In conclusion, switching from ADV or TDF to TAF resulted in a decrease in serum HBsAg and improvement in serum ALP and U-BMG/Cr after 6 months of treatment in patients regardless of history of treatment with NA.
