[PMID: 33995038 PMCID: PMC8113870 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2021.636352] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2020] [Accepted: 04/16/2021] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Adefovir dipivoxil (ADV) is widely used for chronic hepatitis B therapy in China. To explore the clinical features and prognosis of ADV-induced osteomalacia and to analyze the association between osteomalacia and genetic variants in 51 drug transporters genes. Clinical and follow-up data of the ADV-treated patients were collected. Target capture sequencing was used to identify genetic variations of 51 drug transporter genes. A total of 193 hepatitis B patients treated with ADV were enrolled, of whom 140 had osteomalacia. The other 53 without osteomalacia were included in the control group. The median duration of ADV treatment before the onset of osteomalacia was 6.5 years (range:1.5–7 years). We found that most patients with osteomalacia had hypophosphatemia, high serum alkaline phosphatase levels, hypouricemia, nondiabetic glycosuria, proteinuria. Stopping ADV administration, supplementing calcitriol and calcium were effective treatments. During 3–6 months of follow-up, the clinical symptoms and biochemical indicators of patients with osteomalacia have been significantly improved. There was no significant difference in duration of adefovir treatment in patients with or without osteomalacia (p = 0.791). Through regression analysis, we found that age was a risk factor for osteomalacia [per 1 year, odds ratio (OR), 1.053; 95% confidence interval (95% CI), 1.020–1.087; p = 0.015]. 1992 single nucleotide variants were found using target capture sequencing. However, the associations of genetic variants of 51 drug transporter genes and the risk of osteomalacia were negligible. Osteomalacia is prone to occur in patients with chronic hepatitis B treated with long-term ADV at a therapeutic dose. After standard treatment, the prognosis is mostly good. We failed to find genetic variants that can predict the risk of ADV-induced osteomalacia.

[PMID: 28123560 DOI: 10.3892/ol.2016.5393] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2015] [Accepted: 09/14/2016] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
The aim of the present study was to identify monitoring and prevention measures as well as predictive factors for early detection of renal toxicity associated with long-term administration of adefovir dipivoxil in order to avoid progression to Fanconi syndrome. Clinical data of 28 patients with Fanconi syndrome caused by long-term administration of adefovir dipivoxil for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection were collected pre-and post-administration for analysis. Patients presented with fatigue, progressive systemic pain in multiple bones and joints, as well as difficulty in walking and pathological fractures in a number of severe cases. Laboratory examinations revealed hypophosphatemia, elevated serum cystatin C (Cys-C), elevated serum creatinine (SCr), reduced glomerular filtration rate (GFR), positive urinary protein, erythrocytes and glucose, as well as osteoporosis. In consequence, adefovir dipivoxil administration was stopped, and patients received concentrated divitamins, sodium phosphate syrup and calcitriol. Symptoms and abnormalities in laboratory examinations were significantly improved in all patients after 2-6 months. Therefore, serum phosphate, SCr, routine urine parameters, Cys-C and GFR should be monitored regularly in chronic HBV patients treated with adefovir dipivoxil. The following factors were identified as predictive of kidney damage and Fanconi syndrome: Age ≥40 years, living in rural areas, previous renal toxicity, estimated GFR (eGFR) <90 ml/min/1.73 m2, hypertension, diabetes, cirrhosis and duration of adefovir dipivoxil treatment exceeding 24 months. The present results indicate that timely termination of adefovir dipivoxil treatment and replacement with other antiviral agents is critical once renal impairment appears, and that it is necessary to change to other antiviral agents and prolong the interval of administration according to the eGFR level.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic hepatitis B is a common, progressive disease, particularly when viral replication is detected. Oral antivirals can suppress viral replication and prevent or delay the development of cirrhosis and liver-related complications. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to systematically review the quality of cost-effectiveness evidence on first-line treatment with entecavir (ETV) or tenofovir difumarate (TDF) for patients with chronic hepatitis B. METHODS We searched electronic databases and retrieved articles published up to October 2011, in which the cost effectiveness of ETV or TDF was compared with that of other oral antivirals. The quality of the studies identified was assessed with a standard checklist for critical appraisal. RESULTS We selected 16 original papers, all published in the last 5 years. There was a conflict of interest in 12 of the 16 studies due to sponsorship by the corresponding pharmaceutical companies. According to the validity assessment, ten studies were classified as high quality. Five studies performed a cost-effectiveness analysis comparing ETV with TDF; they concluded that TDF dominates ETV. The other 11 studies compared ETV or TDF with other strategies; all concluded that ETV and TDF are both cost-effective interventions. CONCLUSIONS This systematic review shows that there is valid evidence suggesting that ETV and TDF are cost-effective interventions for the treatment of patients with chronic hepatitis B in many health systems. In countries where both alternatives are available, it appears that TDF dominates ETV. These results could help decision makers and clinicians to understand economic issues regarding the available drugs for first-line treatment of hepatitis B.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hepatitis B virus (HBV) continues to cause significant morbidity and mortality in the United States. Current guidelines suggest screening populations with a prevalence of ≥2%. Our objective was to determine whether this screening threshold is cost-effective and whether screening lower-prevalence populations might also be cost-effective. METHODS We developed a Markov state transition model to examine screening of asymptomatic outpatients in the United States. The base case was a 35-year-old man living in a region with an HBV infection prevalence of 2%. Interventions (versus no screening) included screening for Hepatitis B surface antigen followed by treatment of appropriate patients with (1) pegylated interferon-α2a for 48 weeks, (2) a low-cost nucleoside or nucleotide agent with a high rate of developing viral resistance for 48 weeks, (3) prolonged treatment with low-cost, high-resistance nucleoside or nucleotide, or (4) prolonged treatment with a high-cost nucleoside or nucleotide with a low rate of developing viral resistance. Effectiveness was measured in quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) and costs in 2008 US dollars. RESULTS Screening followed by treatment with a low-cost, high-resistance nucleoside or nucleotide was cost-effective ($29,230 per QALY). Sensitivity analyses revealed that screening costs <$50,000 per QALY in extremely low-risk populations unless the prevalence of chronic HBV infection is <.3%. CONCLUSIONS The 2% threshold for prevalence of chronic HBV infection in current Centers for Disease Control and Prevention/US Public Health Service screening guidelines is cost-effective. Furthermore, screening of adults in the United States in lower-prevalence populations (eg, as low as .3%) also is likely to be cost-effective, suggesting that current health policy should be reconsidered.

Lamivudine and adefovir resistance in children and young adults with chronic hepatitis B. Int J Infect Dis 2009; 14:e236-9. [PMID: 19665408 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijid.2009.04.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/23/2008] [Revised: 04/16/2009] [Accepted: 04/20/2009] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Long-term lamivudine (LAM) and adefovir (ADV) treatment has been found to induce the emergence of drug-resistant hepatitis B virus (HBV) in a significant number of patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) infection. The aim of our study was to evaluate the LAM and ADV mutations detected in our patient group. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-four patients diagnosed with CHB were enrolled in this study. The patient group consisted of those who had received 6 months of treatment with interferon-alpha and who did not response to this therapy. Patients were evaluated based on virologic and serologic response to therapy, and were classified as responders or non-responders. The treatment of non-responders continued with LAM (3mg/kg/d, maximum 100mg/d). Due to a lack of response to treatment, ADV (10mg/g) was added to the treatment regimen of eight young adult patients. The mutations associated with HBV drug resistance were investigated using reverse hybridization methods and PCR. RESULTS The mutation studies indicated that 14 (58.4%) of the patients had resistance. Three patients developed ADV-associated mutations (A181T), one after 18 months of ADV; the other two had undergone 18 and 36 months of LAM therapy without ADV exposure. Although the average LAM treatment period of the patients with LAM resistance was longer than for those in whom no resistance was detected, no statistically significant difference was found. CONCLUSIONS HBV treatment with nucleoside analogues results in the development of mutant strains, leading to drug resistance. Therefore genotypic resistance testing is important in planning and monitoring HBV treatment.
