New Therapies for HBV Treatment Mark Sulkowski MD Johns Hopkins School of Medicine Baltimore, MD
Novel HBV Therapy HBV replication is closely linked to the life-time risk of disease outcomes (HCC, ESLD) New treatment paradigm = long-term suppression of HBV replication: ↓ hepatic inflammation and fibrosis ↓ risk of hepatic decompensation and/or HCC Increasing recognition of resistant HBV variants in previously treated persons Role of new anti-HBV therapies Tenofovir Clevudine α-glalactosylceramide Combination antiviral therapy
Tenofovir DF is a Nucleotide Analogue Inhibitor of HBV DNA Polymerase TDF is a nucleotide analogue Inhibits HIV-1 RNA transcriptase and HBV DNA polymerase Obligate chain terminator TDF shown to have activity in patients mono-infected with HBV and co-infected with HIV/HBV TDF is approved for the treatment of HIV-1 infection 1.3 million patient years safety exposure in HIV and 6 years clinical safety data Two pivotal HBV trials
