Primary Endpoints of HBV Therapy • Stop or slow the progression of liver disease in order to • Prevent cirrhosis • Prevent decompensation of cirrhosis • Prevent hepatocellular carcinoma
HBV DNA as a Marker of Efficacy During Treatment of HBV • Literature analysis of 26 prospective studies • Investigation of the relationship between treatment-induced changes in HBV DNA, histology, other disease activity markers • Results • Statistically significant and consistent correlations between HBV DNA, histology, biochemical and serologic responses • HBV DNA had broader dynamic range than histology • Conclusion • Treatment-induced reduction in HBV DNA can be used to assess efficacy • Treatment goal should be profound and durable suppression of HBV DNA Mommeja-Marin H, et al. Hepatology. 2003;37:1309-1319.
Endpoint of Therapy With HBV Oral Antiviral Drugs • Inhibition of HBV replication • As profound as possible • As sustained as possible ANTIVIRAL POTENCY NO RESISTANCE

Prevention of Resistance • Experience from other therapies suggests that during prolonged antiviral therapy, resistance cannot be avoided indefinitely • Employment of appropriate therapeutic strategies can consistently delay the emergence of resistance
Delaying Viral Resistance • Maximally reduce virus replication • Use highly potent antivirals

Adefovir Resistance • All adefovir-resistant patients (22 reported to date) were on adefovir monotherapy • 20 from adefovir monotherapy trials • 2 from adefovir + lamivudine trials but had stopped lamivudine • No adefovir resistance observed to date when adefovir is added to ongoing lamivudine • No adefovir resistance observed to date in treatment-naive patients treated with adefovir + FTC or adefovir + lamivudine Locarnini S, et al. EASL 2005. Abstract 36.
Summary • HBV resistance may be delayed for many years by • Using highly potent antiviral drugs with optimized pharmacologic profiles • Improving patients’ adherence to therapy • Using first-line combinations of drugs without cross-resistance
Management of HBV Resistance: Options • Continue current therapy • Switch to another drug • Add on another drug • Switch and add on

Practical Options • Lamivudine resistance • Switch to entecavir • Continue lamivudine and add adefovir • Switch to telbivudine and add adefovir • Switch to entecavir and add adefovir • Consider tenofovir instead of adefovir when approved • Consider tenofovir/FTC formulation when approved
Practical Options (cont’d) • Adefovir resistance • Add lamivudine • Add telbivudine • Add entecavir • Switch to tenofovir when approved in combination with lamivudine, telbivudine, or entecavir • Switch to tenofovir/FTC when approved
Practical Options (cont’d) • Entecavir resistance • Add adefovir • Add tenofovir when approved
Summary • HBV resistance can be delayed • By using highly potent antivirals • By improving adherence • By using combination therapies • When resistance occurs • Consider add-on therapy rather than switching to second monotherapy • Consider using the most potent available antiviral combination
