Advances in immunomodulating therapy of HBV infection [PDF]
Patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection have a higher risk of developing liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Interferon-α, lamivudine and adefovir dipivoxil are the three approved treatment for chronic HBV infection and offers ...

Long-Term Lamivudine Treatment of Children with Chronic Hepatitis B: Durability of Therapeutic Responses and Safety [PDF]
Lamivudine has been demonstrated safe and efficacious in the short term in a large cohort of children with chronic hepatitis B (CHB), but optimal duration of treatment has not been elucidated and limited data on the safety of long-term lamivudine ...

ABSTRACT Pegylated‐interferon‐α (Peg‐IFNα) is a treatment option for chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. To quantify treatment response variability, we conducted a model‐based meta‐analysis (MBMA) of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) loss, defined as a binary outcome based on HBsAg levels falling below the limit of detection, with Peg‐IFNα ...

Efficacy of pegylated interferon α2a in patients without HBeAg loss after the withdrawal of long-term lamivudine therapy [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Improving the HBe seroconversion rate of patients without HBeAg loss after long-term lamivudine therapy has become an urgent clinical problem that we have to face. Unfortunately, there is no consensus on the mananement of these patients.

In East Asian patients with chronic hepatitis B, rates of virologic suppression through 5 years were high in those treated continuously with tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) and in those switched from tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) to TAF. Improved renal and bone safety was observed in patients switching from TDF to TAF.

Mutations in pre-core and basal-core promoter regions of hepatitis B virus in chronic HBV patients from Golestan, Iran [PDF]
Objective(s): It has been reported that the mutation of the pre-core (PC) and basal-core promoter (BCP) may play an important role in the development of HBV-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

We evaluated long‐term outcomes following nucleos(t)ide analogue discontinuation in HBeAg‐negative chronic hepatitis B. HBsAg loss was infrequent. Early HBsAg loss occurred in patients with low end‐of‐treatment HBsAg levels and without ALT flare, whilst late HBsAg loss typically followed ALT flares and was associated with higher end‐of‐treatment HBsAg ...

Intrahepatic HBV DNA as a predictor of antivirus treatment efficacy in HBeAg-positive chronic hepatitis B patients [PDF]
AIM: To evaluate the effect of antiviral agents on intrahepatic HBV DNA in HBeAg-positive chronic hepatitis B patients. METHODS: Seventy-one patients received treatment with lamivudine, interferon alpha (IFN-alpha 2b) or sequential therapy with ...

ABSTRACT Oncology patients receiving cytostatic therapy used to be at high risk of HBV infection when HBV screening measures were less reliable. Infections acquired under these conditions often persist, like those acquired perinatally or during early infancy.
