27 HBV DNA (IU/mL) ALT (x ULN) Management Recommendation Preferred Drugs >20,000≤2Observe Consider biopsy in persons older than 40 years, with ALT persistently high normal, or with family history of hepatocellular carcinoma Consider treatment if biopsy shows moderate or severe inflammation or significant fibrosis >2Observe for 3 to 6 months and treat if no spontaneous HBeAg loss Immediate treatment if icteric or clinical decompensation Consider liver biopsy prior to treatment if compensated Lamivudine and telbivudine not preferred due to high rate of resistance Tenofovir DF Entecavir PegIFN AASLD Guidelines: HBeAg-positive Patients Lok AS et al. Hepatology. 2009;50(3):661-662. IU/mL to copies/mL conversion: Versant HBV DNA 3.0 (bDNA): 1 IU/mL = 5.2 copies/mL. Cobas Amplicor HBV monitor: 1 IU/mL = 5.6 copies/mL. Cobas TaqMan 48 HBV: 1 IU/mL = 5.8 copies/mL.

28 NIH Guidelines: Candidates for HBV Therapy HBV therapy indicated  Acute liver failure  Cirrhosis and clinical complications  Cirrhosis or advanced fibrosis and +HBV DNA in serum  Receiving cancer chemotherapy or immunosuppressive therapy HBV therapy may be indicated  CHB (HBeAg positive or negative) without advanced fibrosis or cirrhosis NIH, National Institutes of Health. Sorrell MF et al. Ann Intern Med. 2009;150(2):104-110.

29 NIH Guidelines: Immediate HBV Therapy Is Not Routinely Indicated Immune-tolerant phase  HBeAg positive, high HBV DNA levels, normal ALT or little activity on liver biopsy Inactive carrier phase  HBsAg positive, very low or undetectable HBV DNA levels, persistently normal ALT Latent HBV infection  Detectable HBV DNA levels without HBsAg Sorrell MF et al. Ann Intern Med. 2009;150(2):104-110.

30 HBV DNA (IU/mL) ALT (x ULN) Management Recommendation Preferred Drugs DetectableCirrhosis Compensated Treat if HBV DNA >2,000 IU/mL Consider treatment if HBV DNA is ≤2,000 IU/mL and ALT is elevated Tenofovir DF Entecavir Decompensated Refer for transplantation Evaluation Tenofovir DF or Entecavir UndetectableCirrhosisCompensated Observe Decompensated Refer for transplantation Evaluation AASLD Guidelines: HBeAg-positive or HBeAg-negative Patients with Cirrhosis Lok AS and McMahon BJ.

Cobas TaqMan 48 HBV: 1 IU/mL = 5.8 copies/mL.

31 CHB: Goals of Therapy Achieve sustained suppression of HBV replication and remission of hepatic disease Prevent the development of cirrhosis, hepatic failure, liver transplantation and hepatocellular carcinoma HBV is never cured but rather controlled by limiting viral replication Markers of treatment response  Decreased serum HBV DNA to low or undetectable levels  Improved liver histology  Decreased or normalized serum ALT  HBeAg loss or seroconversion (in HBeAg-negative patients)  HBsAg loss or seroconversion Lok AS and McMahon BJ. Hepatology. 2009;50(3):661-662; Keeffe EB et al. Clin Gastroenterol Hepatol. 2008;6(12):1315-1341.

33 Treatment Guidelines: Recommendations for First-line Therapy in Patients Without Cirrhosis HBeAg-positive or HBeAg-negative CHB a HBV DNA must be undetectable at 24 weeks to continue (Keeffe). AASLD guidelines: lamivudine and telbivudine not preferred due to relatively high rate of resistance. Adefovir not preferred due to weak antiviral activity and relatively high rate of resistance.

34 Duration of HBV Treatment HBeAg-positive  An additional 12 months after HBeAg seroconversion to reduce relapse rate (noncirrhotics) HBeAg-negative  Relapse common after cessation of therapy  Long-term treatment currently recommended Cirrhosis  Long-term therapy required or until HBsAg loss  Combination therapy may be considered Keeffe EB et al. Clin Gastroenterol Hepatol. 2008;6(12):1315-1341.

35 PegIFN and/or Lamivudine in Patients with HBeAg-positive CHB Patients (%) Responses at End of Follow-up (Week 72) HBV DNA <400 copies/mL HBeAg Seroconversion HBV DNA <10 5 copies/mL Normalized ALT PegIFN was statistically significantly better than lamivudine monotherapy for all measures. Lau GK et al. N Engl J Med. 2005;352(26):2682-2695.

36 Extending PegIFN Treatment Duration in HBeAg-positive Patients HBeAg-positive patients with a partial response to pegIFN alfa 2a (180 µg/week) at Week 48 were randomized  Partial response: HBV DNA <10 5 copies/mL without HBeAg seroconversion after 48 weeks of therapy Randomized groups  Extension group: received an additional 24 weeks of pegIFN therapy (n=16)  Follow-up: received no further treatment (n=15) At randomization  Baseline HBeAg levels were higher in the extension group (1061 vs. 826 IU/mL)  Baseline HBsAg levels were >250 IU/mL in both arms Zhu Y-Y et al. J Hepatol. 2009;50(suppl 1):S331-S332. Abstract 913.

40 Key Points CHB is a common problem that leads to morbidity and mortality A wide range of treatment options exist Treatment should be initiated and tailored to the individual based on  HBV DNA levels  Elevated ALT or abnormal liver biopsy  HBeAg status  HBV genotype Tenofovir DF, entecavir, and pegIFN are preferred first- line agents

64 NIH Consensus Conference: 2008 In patients with chronic HBV and those who are in the inactive HBsAg carrier phase, it is important to start antiviral therapy for hepatitis B before initiating immunosuppressive therapy or cancer chemotherapy Antiviral therapy should be maintained throughout the course of treatment NIH Consensus Development Conference Statement on Management of Hepatitis B. http://consensus.nih.gov/2008/hepbstatement.htm. Accessed September 22, 2010.

65 AASLD Practice Guidelines: 2009 Prophylactic antiviral therapy is recommended for HBV carriers at the onset of chemotherapy  If baseline HBV DNA is not detected and treatment duration is 12 months or less, lamivudine or telbivudine can be used  If baseline HBV DNA is detected or treatment duration is longer than 12 months, tenofovir or entecavir is preferred Monitoring is recommended for patients who are anti-HBc+ but not HBsAg+ Lok AS, McMahon BJ. Hepatology. 2009;50(3):661-662.

66 ASCO Provisional Clinical Opinion: 2010 “When evidence for chronic HBV is found, antiviral therapy before and throughout the course of chemotherapy may be considered… although evidence from controlled trials of this approach is limited” Screening or treating HBV should not delay initiation of chemotherapy Artz AS et al.

74 Steven G. Follow-up Patient is admitted to the oncology service and made NPO awaiting an urgent evaluation by the on-call gastroenterologist Oxycodone/acetaminophen is stopped Ultrasound is negative After several days, his lab tests return  HBsAg+ and HBeAg+  HBV DNA detected at 2.65 million IU/mL  HCV EIA and RNA negative EIA, enzyme immunoassays; HBeAg; hepatitis B e antigen; NPO, nothing by mouth.

75 AASLD Guidelines Patients failing lamivudine after 6 months likely have the selection of resistant variants Entecavir has decreased activity against lamivudine-resistant variants with significantly more viral breakthrough than is observed in treatment-naïve patients Tenofovir has similar activity against wild-type and lamivudine-resistant viruses  Recommended as switch or add-on with lamivudine failure Lok AS, McMahon BJ. Hepatology. 2009;50(3):661-662.

76 Steven G. Follow-up: Managing Hepatitis B After Chemotherapy The patient now has chronic HBV infection independent of his prior course Rituximab depletes CD20+ lymphocytes after a prolonged period of time AASLD Guidelines recommend continuing tenofovir treatment until after HBeAg seroconversion and consolidation period

77 Risk-benefit Approach to HBV Management in Patients with Cancer Assessment for HBV risk may miss cases  HBsAg and anti-HBc testing is inexpensive Effectiveness of HBV prophylaxis has been consistently demonstrated  Morbidity, mortality, and disruption of chemotherapy In systematic review, no toxicity was observed with HBV prophylaxis For many patients, the benefits of screening prior to therapy and prophylaxis are greater than the risks
