BACKGROUND AND AIM: Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) is a first-line treatment for chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection for its high potency and a low rate of drug resistance. This study investigated the efficacy and safety of TDF in Chinese patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) infection after treatment failure with multiple nucleos(t)ide analogues (NAs).

METHODS: Patients included were aged 18-65 years, with treatment failure with multiple NAs (serum HBV DNA > 200 IU/mL after more than two different NA treatments). The primary endpoint was proportion of patients with serum HBV DNA < 20 IU/mL at Week 144 of TDF monotherapy. Secondary endpoints and safety were also assessed.

RESULTS: Overall, 213 patients were enrolled. At Week 144, mean HBV DNA decreased significantly from baseline (4.4 vs 1.4 log10 IU/mL), with 77.0% patients (95% confidence interval: 71.1, 82.9) achieving serum HBV DNA < 20 IU/mL. Three (1.4%) patients experienced virological breakthrough during TDF monotherapy, without hepatitis flare. At Week 144, 15.3% and 4.7% patients (hepatitis B e antigen [HBeAg]-positive at baseline) experienced HBeAg loss and HBeAg seroconversion, respectively; 68.3% patients achieved normalized alanine aminotransferase levels. Overall, 58.7% patients experienced more than one adverse event (AE). Most common AEs were upper respiratory tract infection and blood creatine phosphokinase increase; 8.5% patients experienced study drug-related AEs; 9.4% patients experienced serious AEs (none were TDF-related). Among renal safety parameters, overall trend of mean serum phosphorous level remained stable, while mean estimated glomerular filtration rate increased slightly.

CONCLUSIONS: Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate monotherapy is efficacious in CHB patients with multiple NAs treatment failure with no new safety findings.
