Possibility of PD-1/PD-L1 Inhibitors for the Treatment of Patients with Chronic Hepatitis B Infection

© 2023 The Author(s). Published by S. Karger AG, Basel..

BACKGROUND: Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) infection is still a major global public health problem, with nearly two billion patients. Although current antiviral drugs can inhibit viral replication and reduce hepatitis B virus (HBV) related complications, it is difficult to achieve clinical endpoints due to drug resistance.

SUMMARY: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are an important strategy to reverse T-cell exhaustion, and rebuilding an effective functional T-cell response is a promising immunomodulatory approach for CHB patients. However, ICIs may lead to viral reactivation or immune-related adverse effects. There are still many controversies in the application of ICIs in treating patients with CHB.

KEY MESSAGES: This article reviews the research progress of ICIs in CHB infection and related issues. The goal of this paper was to summarize the possible impact of new therapies for CHB with the aim of reducing potential clinical risks.
