目的 評估替比夫定與阿德福韋酯聯合治療優化阿德福韋酯單藥治療應答不佳的陽性慢性乙型肝炎患者的療效。 方法 選擇2008年6月－2009年8月間共26例阿德福韋酯治療至少12個月且病毒學應答不佳的乙型肝炎病毒e抗原（HBeAg），陽性的慢性乙型肝炎患者，在10 mg阿德福韋酯治療的基礎上，加用600 mg替比夫定。肝功能和乙型肝炎病毒（HBV） DNA每3個月評估1次，乙型肝炎兩對半和腹部B型超聲每半年評估1次。 結果 在第1年的治療期間，所有患者血清HBV DNA水平均呈進行性下降，其中24例（92.3%）血清HBV DNA水平在聯合治療12個月時低于檢測值下限，有25例（96.2%）患者丙氨酸轉氨酶水平復常。治療6個月時，分別有7例（26.9%）和2例（7.7%）患者發生HBeAg消失和血清學轉換；治療12個月時，分別有11例（42.3%）和8例（30.8%）患者發生HBeAg消失和血清學轉換。整個治療期間，26例患者均未出現病毒學突破。 結論 阿德福韋酯單藥治療應答不佳時，加用替比夫定可有效控制病毒，使患者獲得較好的病毒學、生化學和免疫學應答。Objective To evaluate the curative efficacy of telbivudine combined with defovir dipivoxil on positive-HBeAg chronic hepatitis B patients with suboptimal response to adefovir dipivoxil. Methods A total of 26 HBeAg-positive patients with suboptimal response to adefovir dipivoxil (treated with adefovir dipivoxil for more than 12 months) were treated with adefovir dipivoxil 10 mg in addition to telbivudine 600 mg between June 2008 and August 2009. Liver function and serum hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA tests were assessed at the baseline and 3-month intervals, whereas HBV serological markers and abdominal ultrasonography were carried out every 6 months. Results During the first year of treatment, all patients showed a progressive decline of serum HBV DNA levels; while undetectable serum HBV DNA and normalization of alanine aminotransferase was achieved in 24(92.3%) and 25 (96.2%) patients, respectively, at the end of the first year of treatment. The 6- and 12-month cumulative rates of HBeAg loss were 26.9% (7/26) and 42.3% (11/26), respectively; and corresponding cumulative rates of HBeAg/anti-HBe seroconversion were 7.7% (2/26) and 30.8 (8/26), respectively. During the observation period, no virological breakthrough was detected. Conclusion Telbivudine combined with defovir dipivoxil may be a good choice for patients with suboptimal response to adefovir dipivoxil, which could induce effective viral inhibition and help patients obtain more virological, biochemical and immunological responses.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of telbivudine (TEV) combined with adefovir dipivoxil (ADV) for chronic hepatitis B (CHB), so as to provide references for clinical practice and research. MethodsWe electronically searched databases including The Cochrane Library (Issue 7, 2013), PubMed, EMbase, Web of Science, CBM, CNKI, VIP, and WanFang Data from inception to August 21st, 2013, for the relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Other sources were also retrieved. Two reviewers independently screened literature according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, extracted data, and assessed the quality of included studies. Then, meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.1 software. ResultsA Total of 11 RCTs involving 1 010 patients were included. The trial group were given TEV combined with ADV, while the control group were given TEV alone or ADV alone. The results of metaanalysis showed that, the combined use was superior to TEV alone or ADV alone in improving HBV-DNA negative rates at 12-, 24-, 48-weeks, HBeAg negative rates at 12-, 24-, 48-weeks, and ALT recovery rates at 12-, 24-weeks (P < 0.05). The results of qualitative analysis showed that, the trial group had a lower drug resistance rate, and both were alike in the incidence of adverse reaction. ConclusionCompared with TEV alone or ADV alone, TEV combined with ADV could improve the clinical efficacy of treating CHB which is also fairly safe. Due to the limited quantity and quality of the included studies, the aforementioned conclusion still needs to be further verified by conducting more large-scale and high quality RCTs.
Objective To assess the efficacy of telbivudine in the treatment of chronic hepatitis B (CHB). Methods Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of telbivudine therapy vs. lamivudine therapy in both Chinese and English were retrieved from seven electronic databases with a cut-off date in February 2010, including PubMed, EMbase, VIP, CBM, CNKI, and The Cochrane library. The meta-analyses and evaluation on methodology quality were performed for the included studies. Results Two RCTs as Grade-A study were included. The meta-analyses showed that telbivudine was superior to lamivudine in aspects of therapeutic response (RR=1.28, 95%CI 1.10 to 1.48, P=0.001), ALT normalization (RR=1.12, 95%CI 1.01 to 1.23, P=0.02), and PCR-negative HBV DNA or below the lower limit (RR=1.44, 95%CI 1.36 to 1.53, Plt;0.000 01), primary treatment failure (OR=0.28, 95%CI 0.18, to 0.43, Plt;0.000 01), viral breakthrough (OR=0.38, 95%CI 0.32 to 0.47, Plt;0.000 01) and viral resistance (OR=0.44, 95%CI 0.36 to 0.55, Plt;0.000 01). Conclusion Based on the current clinical evidence, telbivudine demonstrates superiority in comparison with lamivudine on all direct measures of antiviral efficacy for CHB. Because of the short follow-up duration and the small sample size of the included studies, it is expected to further discuss the long-term efficacy.
目的 探討替比夫定治療乙肝e抗原（HBeAg）陽性慢性乙型肝炎（CHB）患者72周的療效及預測因素的分析。 方法 選擇2007年9月－2012年9月符合入選標準的82例CHB患者接受替比夫定治療72周，于治療前基線、治療后每3個月查丙氨酸氨基轉移酶（ALT）、乙肝病毒DNA（HBV DNA）、乙肝病毒血清標志物，觀察治療期間累計生化學應答率、完全病毒學應答率(CVR)、HBeAg血清學轉換率（SR）及耐藥率，分析基線ALT水平[分為＜5 ULN（正常值檢測下限）組及≥5 ULN組]、HBV DNA水平（分為＜107 copies/mL組及≥107 copies/mL組）、24周HBV DNA水平（＜3 log 10 copies/mL組及≥3 log 10 copies/mL組），預測72周CVR及SR。 結果 172周累計生化學應答率、CVR、SR、耐藥率分別為86.6%、81.7%、42.7%、18.2%；2基線ALT≥5 ULN對72周SR有預測價值（χ2=5.651，P=0.017），HBV DNA＜107 copies/mL對CVR有預測價值（χ2=7.083，P=0.008）；324周HBV DNA＜103 copies/mL對72周CVR及SR均有預測價值（χ2=27.339，5.131；P=0.000，0.023）。 結論 替比夫定初治HBeAg陽性CHB患者療效及安全性好，治療24周HBV DNA＜103 copies/mL是72周療效的最佳預測指標。
