Abstract
Aims: To compare the efficacy of treatment with lamivudine (LAM) plus adefovir (ADV) or entecavir (ETV) monotherapy in LAM treatment failure patients with HBeAg negative chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients during 48 weeks of therapy.
Patients and methods: Thirty patients with HBeAg negative CHB were enrolled in the study. The serum levels of HBV DNA, HBsAg/HBsAb, and ALT were assessed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay at 0, 12, 24, 36, and 48 weeks.
Results: The rate of undetectable HBV DNA in the LAM+ADV group was 100%, which was higher than the ETV group at 48 weeks (73.33%, χ2 = 4.615, P = 0.032). Multivariate analysis using the Cox proportional hazards model showed that therapy with LAM+ADV or baseline levels of HBV DNA <107 copies/ml were independent predictive factors for undetectable HBV DNA rates in all patients (RR: 2.488, P = 0.042; RR: 0.201, P = 0.035).
Conclusions: During the 48 weeks of treatment in patients with HBeAg negative CHB, LAM plus ADV suppressed HBV replication more effectively than ETV monotherapy. In addition, no virologic breakthrough was detected in the LAM add-on ADV group. Additionally, therapy with LAM+ADV or baseline levels of HBV DNA <107copies/ml were independent predictive factors for undetectable HBV DNA rates in patients.
期刊介绍:
The Journal Acta Gastro-Enterologica Belgica principally publishes peer-reviewed original manuscripts, reviews, letters to editors, book reviews and guidelines in the field of clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology, including digestive oncology, digestive pathology, as well as nutrition. Pure animal or in vitro work will not be considered for publication in the Journal. Translational research papers (including sections of animal or in vitro work) are considered by the Journal if they have a clear relationship to or relevance for clinical hepato-gastroenterology (screening, disease mechanisms and/or new therapies). Case reports and clinical images will be accepted if they represent an important contribution to the description, the pathogenesis or the treatment of a specific gastroenterology or liver problem. The language of the Journal is English. Papers from any country will be considered for publication. Manuscripts submitted to the Journal should not have been published previously (in English or any other language), nor should they be under consideration for publication elsewhere. Unsolicited papers are peer-reviewed before it is decided whether they should be accepted, rejected, or returned for revision. Manuscripts that do not meet the presentation criteria (as indicated below) will be returned to the authors. Papers that go too far beyond the scope of the journal will be also returned to the authors by the editorial board generally within 2 weeks. The Journal reserves the right to edit the language of papers accepted for publication for clarity and correctness, and to make formal changes to ensure compliance with AGEB’s style. Authors have the opportunity to review such changes in the proofs.
