CARE AND TREATMENT OF CHRONIC HEPATITIS B

• Induction of long-term suppression of HBV DNA:

the main endpoint of all current treatment strategies.

• Induction of HBeAg loss, with or without anti-HBe seroconversion,

in HBeAg-positive CHB patients: valuable endpoint, often

representing partial immune control of the chronic HBV infection.

• Biochemical response (ALT normalization): additional endpoint

achieved in most patients with long-term suppression of HBV

replication.

• HBsAg loss, with or without anti-HBs seroconversion:

optimal endpoint indicating profound suppression of HBV

replication and viral protein expression.

End-points of therapy

EASL 2017 CPG HBV, J Hepatol 2017;67:370-398.

Indications for treatment

• Patients should be considered for treatment if

– HBV DNA >2,000 IU/ml and

– ALT >ULN (40 IU/L) and/or

– At least moderate necroinflammation and/or at least moderate

fibrosis by liver biopsy [or liver stiffness >9 or >12 kPa if ALT ≤ULN or

>ULN (<5xULN)]

• Patients with compensated or decompensated cirrhosis need treatment, with any detectable HBV DNA level and regardless of ALT levels

• Indications for treatment may also take into account

age, health status, comorbidities, family history of HCC or cirrhosis and

extrahepatic manifestations

EASL 2017 CPG HBV, J Hepatol 2017;67:370-398.

Indications for selecting ETV or TAF over TDF*

* TAF should be preferred to ETV in patients with previous exposure to nucleoside analogues.

** ETV dose needs to be adjusted if eGFR <50 ml/min; no dose adjustment of TAF is required in adults or adolescents (aged at least 12 years and of ≥35 kg body weight) with estimated creatinine clearance (CrCl) ≥15 ml/min or in patients with CrCl <15 ml/min receiving haemodialysis.

Monitoring of patients treated with ETV, TDF or TAF

1) All patients treated with NA should be followed with periodical assessments

including ALT (every 3-4 months during year 1 & then every 6 months) and

serum HBV DNA (every 3-4 months during year 1 & then every 6-12

months) (and HBeAg/anti-HBe every 6 months for HBeAg-pos. patients

EASL 2017 CPG HBV, J Hepatol 2017;67:370-398.

2) Patients at risk of renal disease treated with any NA should undergo

periodical* renal monitoring with eGFR and all patients regardless of

renal risk treated with TDF should undergo periodical* renal monitoring

with at least eGFR and serum phosphate levels.

(*periodical: every 3 months during year 1 & then every 6 months)

3) Patients on TDF at risk of development and/or with underlying renal or

bone disease should be considered for a switch to ETV or TAF, depending

on previous LAM exposure.

Long-term outcome during NA therapy

1) Patients under effective long-term NA therapy should

remain under surveillance for HCC.

(Evidence level II-2, grade of recommendation 1)

2) HCC surveillance is mandatory for all patients with

cirrhosis as well as those with moderate or high HCC

risk scores at the onset of NA therapy.

(Evidence level II-2, grade of recommendation 1)

2) NAs can be discontinued in non-cirrhotic HBeAg positive CHB

patients who achieve stable HBeAg seroconversion and undetectable HBV DNA and who complete at least 12 months of consolidation therapy. Close post-NA monitoring is warranted. (Evidence level II-2, grade of recommendation 2)

3) Discontinuation of NAs in selected non-cirrhotic HBeAg-

New DAAs - Conclusions

Increasing number of licensed agents for patients with HCV

-Availability and accessibility vary among countries

Shortening of treatment duration to 8 weeks is possible in some non-cirrhotic

patients, with no loss of efficacy

Treatment options available irrespective of cirrhosis status

The proportion of patients failing to respond to DAAs is small and re-

treatment options are available for most patients

-NS5A inhibitor failures remain a treatment challenge

The availability of DAAs means that HCV cure is now a reality for most patients
