Abstract
Background and aim Long-term treatment with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) has demonstrated suppression of viral replication outside of China. This study aims to assess efficacy, resistance and safety of TDF for up to 240 weeks in Chinese patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Methods Patients (HBeAg-positive or HBeAg-negative) who were randomised to receive TDF 300 mg or adefovir dipivoxil (ADV) 10 mg once daily in the 48-week double-blind phase (N = 498) were eligible to enter the open-label TDF phase (TDF–TDF and ADV–TDF groups) for additional 192 weeks. Results Overall, 457/512 (89.3%) randomised patients completed 240 weeks of treatment. Virological suppression was achieved in 84.5% and 87.9% in HBeAg-positive patients and 89.6% and 89.5% in HBeAg-negative patients in TDF–TDF and ADV–TDF groups, respectively, at week 240. The majority of patients from both groups had normalized alanine transaminase levels. More patients had HBeAg loss (41.7% vs. 36.4%) and HBeAg seroconversion (32.0% vs. 28.3%) in TDF–TDF than in ADV–TDF group, respectively. Only one HBeAg-positive patient in TDF–TDF group had HBsAg loss at week 240. No evidence of resistance to TDF was observed. The incidence of adverse events was similar in both groups (TDF–TDF, 56.4% vs. ADV–TDF, 51.6%). One patient had serum creatinine elevation ≥ 0.5 mg/dL above baseline, and three patients had confirmed grade 3/4 phosphorus abnormalities (< 2 mg/dL). Conclusion In Chinese patients with chronic HBV, long-term treatment with TDF showed sustained viral suppression without development of resistance up to 240 weeks. No new safety concerns were found with TDF in this patient population. Clinical Trial Registration ClinicalTrial.gov Identifier NCT01300234; GSK Clinical Study Register 114648.

Abstract
The experts of Taiwan Association for the Study of Liver (TASL) have actively participated and led the guidelines on hepatitis B virus (HBV) management by Asian Pacific Association for the Study of Liver (APASL) which is the first international association for the study of liver to publish the statement on HBV management before. However, there are more and more new data on the natural history and treatment of HBV infection in the past decade. These include new application of an old biomarker (quantitative HBsAg), clinical significance of HBV genotype and naturally occurring mutations, the role of non-invasive examination in evaluating severity of hepatic fibrosis, clinical significance of outcome calculators, new drug or new combination strategies towards more effective therapy and organ transplantation including liver and non-liver transplantation. It is time to publish the guidelines on HBV management of Taiwan. Hence, TASL have conducted an expert meeting to review, to discuss and to debate the relevant literatures, followed by draft the manuscript of HBV management guidelines and recommendations. The guidelines include general management, indications for fibrosis assessment, time to start or stop drug therapy, choice of drug to initiate therapy, when and how to monitor the patients during and after stopping drug therapy. Recommendations on the therapy of patients in special circumstances, including women in childbearing age, patients with antiviral drug resistance, concurrent viral infection, hepatic decompensation, patient receiving immune suppression or chemotherapy and patients in the setting of liver transplantation and hepatocellular carcinoma, are also included.

Delayed viral suppression during antiviral therapy is associated with increased hepatocellular carcinoma rates in HBeAg-positive high viral load chronic hepatitis B. J Viral Hepat 2018; 25:552-560.

Abstract
The treatment option in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients with persistent low-level viremia despite entecavir or tenofovir monotherapy is unclear. This study investigated the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) or cirrhosis in hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)-positive high viral load CHB patients, according to the time needed to achieve complete viral suppression. A total of 325 HBeAg-positive CHB patients with high viral load who were recently started on antiviral therapy with entecavir or tenofovir were included. The enrolled patients were divided into 2 groups with 4 separate criteria based on the time needed to achieve complete viral suppression: within 1, 2, 3 or 4 years of therapy initiation. The outcomes were development of HCC and cirrhosis. The cumulative incidence of HCC was significantly higher in patients failing complete viral suppression within 1 year (hazard ratio (HR), 4.54; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.03-19.93; P = .045) or 2 years (HR, 3.38; 95% CI, 1.24-9.23; P = .018), than patients who achieved complete viral suppression within 1 or 2 years, respectively. Cumulative incidence of cirrhosis was also significantly higher in patients failing suppression within 1 year (HR, 1.95; 95% CI, 1.04-3.66; P = .037) or 2 years (HR, 2.44; 95% CI, 1.41-4.22; P = .001). When the time for achieving viral suppression exceeded 2 years, the cumulative incidence of HCC or cirrhosis was not different regardless of viral suppression. Complete hepatitis B virus suppression within 2 years of antiviral therapy initiation is associated with risk reduction in HCC or cirrhosis development.

Abstract
Tenofovir (TDF) is a potent hepatitis B virus (HBV) inhibitor with a high barrier to drug resistance, and it has been recommended as one of the first-line drugs to treat chronic hepatitis B (CHB). This paper reviews the recent advances in the treatment of CHB with TDF, especially in terms of its efficacy as first-line and second-line antiviral therapies as well as its role in the prevention of mother-to-child HBV transmission.

Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate monotherapy for nucleos(t)ide analogue-naïve and nucleos(t)ide analogue-experienced chronic hepatitis B patients. Clin Mol Hepatol 2015; 21:41-8. [PMID: 25834801 PMCID: PMC4379196 DOI: 10.3350/cmh.2015.21.1.41] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2014] [Revised: 02/21/2015] [Accepted: 02/25/2015] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Background/Aims This study investigated the antiviral effects of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) monotherapy in nucleos(t)ide analogue (NA)-naive and NA-experienced chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients. Methods CHB patients treated with TDF monotherapy (300 mg/day) for ≥12 weeks between December 2012 and July 2014 at a single center were retrospectively enrolled. Clinical, biochemical, and virological parameters were assessed every 12 weeks. Results In total, 136 patients (median age 49 years, 96 males, 94 HBeAg positive, and 51 with liver cirrhosis) were included. Sixty-two patients were nucleos(t)ide (NA)-naïve, and 74 patients had prior NA therapy (NA-exp group), and 31 patients in the NA-exp group had lamivudine (LAM)-resistance (LAM-R group). The baseline serum hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA level was 4.9±2.3 log IU/mL (mean±SD), and was higher in the NA-naïve group than in the NA-exp and LAM-R groups (5.9±2.0 log IU/mL vs 3.9±2.0 log IU/mL vs 4.2±1.7 log IU/mL, P<0.01). The complete virological response (CVR) rate at week 48 in the NA-naïve group (71.4%) did not differ significantly from those in the NA-exp (71.3%) and LAM-R (66.1%) groups. In multivariate analysis, baseline serum HBV DNA was the only predictive factor for a CVR at week 48 (hazard ratio, 0.809; 95% confidence interval, 0.729-0.898), while the CVR rate did not differ with the NA experience. Conclusions TDF monotherapy was effective for CHB treatment irrespective of prior NA treatment or LAM resistance. Baseline serum HBV DNA was the independent predictive factor for a CVR.
