The Safety of Interferon‐Based Therapies in Chronic Hepatitis B Patients With Compensatory Cirrhosis

Portal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, EarlyView.
While nucleos(t)ide analog (Nuc) therapy is the standard for chronic hepatitis B, pegylated interferon‐alpha (Peg‐IFN‐α) provides unique advantages, including finite treatment duration and long‐term benefits. However, its use in patients with compensated cirrhosis remains limited due to persistent safety concerns about potential decompensation and ...

Switching from tenofovir disoproxil fumarate to tenofovir alafenamide fumarate in a cohort of patients with HBV infection: A retrospective study

Journal of Clinical Virology Plus
Background: Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) as first-line therapy for chronic HBV infection is related to nephrotoxicity. Tenofovir alafenamide fumarate (TAF) has been approved with a similar virological and serological response, but lower toxicity ...

Temporal Association Between COVID‐19 Vaccination and HBsAg Loss in Chronic Hepatitis B Infection: An Interrupted Time Series Analysis

Alimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
In 59,946 chronic hepatitis B patients followed over 23 years, COVID‐19 vaccination rollout was temporally associated with a 56% increase in HBsAg loss rates (peak 1.27 per 100 person‐years in 2022), followed by gradual waning. Negative control outcomes showed no similar pattern, supporting biological specificity. ABSTRACT Background and Aims Hepatitis

Human Vault Nanoparticle Targeted Delivery of Antiretroviral Drugs to Inhibit Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Infection. [PDF]

, 2019
"Vaults" are ubiquitously expressed endogenous ribonucleoprotein nanoparticles with potential utility for targeted drug delivery. Here, we show that recombinant human vault nanoparticles are readily engulfed by certain key human peripheral blood ...

Phosphonoamidate prodrugs of C5-substituted pyrimidine acyclic nucleosides for antiviral therapy [PDF]

, 2017
Acyclic nucleoside phosphonates (ANPs) are nowadays one of the key drugs in the treatment of DNA virus and retrovirus infections. In this work, we report the synthesis and antiviral evaluation of phosphonoamidate and diamidates prodrugs of C5-pyrimidine ...

Risks and benefits HIV preexposure prophylaxis with tenofovir/emtricitabine in an older male with comorbidities [PDF]

, 2016
Renal toxicity in a 73 year old man using tenofovir/emtricitabine (TDF/FTC) as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is described. Reduced renal reserve, a higher exposure to co-medications and co-morbidities can present a challenge when assessing the risks ...

Fanconi syndrome due to tenofovir disoproxil fumarate reversed by switching to tenofovir alafenamide fumarate in an HIV-infected patient [PDF]

Therapeutic Advances in Infectious Disease, 2018
A case of tenofovir-induced Fanconi syndrome in a patient receiving antiretroviral therapy for HIV infection, with resolution of the related electrolyte abnormalities upon switch from tenofovir disoproxil fumarate to tenofovir alafenamide fumarate, is reported. Tenofovir alafenamide fumarate, a novel prodrug of tenofovir containing significantly lower

Suppression of Indoleamine 2,3‐Dioxygenase Enhances Immune Responses to the Therapeutic Vaccine for Chronic Hepatitis B

Hepatology Research, EarlyView.
Indoleamine 2,3‐dioxygenase (IDO) activity modulates immune responses to the therapeutic HBV vaccine NASVAC. Genetic or pharmacological suppression of IDO enhanced vaccine efficacy in mice, and lower serum kynurenine levels predicted favorable responses in humans, suggesting IDO as both a therapeutic target and a biomarker.
