Abstract
Background: In China, the optimal management of individuals living with chronic HBV infection (CHB) remains an unmet need. The EVOLVE Study was a 5-year prospective, longitudinal, observational study that compared the clinical outcomes in treatment-naive CHB patients receiving entecavir (ETV) or lamivudine (LAM)-based therapies.
Methods: Males or females aged ≥18 years, diagnosed with CHB regardless of cirrhosis or hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) status were enrolled from tier 2 city hospitals (between 2012-2014). The choice of initial therapy and subsequent treatment modifications was at the discretion of treating physicians. Key outcomes included treatment modifications, virological response (HBV DNA <300 copies/ml) and HBV disease progression.
Results: Of the 3,408 patients enrolled, 1,807 and 628 received ETV and LAM-based therapy, respectively. The mean age was 39.5 years, 74% were male and 22.9% had cirrhosis. The rate of treatment modification was higher in the LAM-based versus ETV group (25.9% versus 13.7%); viral breakthrough was the most common reason in the LAM-based group versus financial reasons in the ETV group. At week 240, the virological response rate was 73% in both treatment groups. Compared with LAM-based therapy, ETV was associated with a significantly lower incidence of viral breakthrough (12.6% versus 2.1%) and genotypic resistance (10.1% versus 1.2%; P<0.0001 for both); significantly lower risk of HBV disease progression (14.0% versus 10.7%; P=0.0113); and lower rates of progression to decompensated cirrhosis (9.6% versus 6.4%) and hepatocellular carcinoma (1.9% versus 0.8%).
Conclusions: This real-world, longitudinal study demonstrated a significantly lower risk of HBV-related disease progression, viral breakthrough and resistance with ETV versus LAM-based therapy. ClinicalTrials.gov NCT01726439.
期刊介绍：
Antiviral Therapy (an official publication of the International Society of Antiviral Research) is an international, peer-reviewed journal devoted to publishing articles on the clinical development and use of antiviral agents and vaccines, and the treatment of all viral diseases. Antiviral Therapy is one of the leading journals in virology and infectious diseases.
The journal is comprehensive, and publishes articles concerning all clinical aspects of antiviral therapy. It features editorials, original research papers, specially commissioned review articles, letters and book reviews. The journal is aimed at physicians and specialists interested in clinical and basic research.
