“…On the basis of two phase III clinical trials involving 515 patients with HBeAg-positive and 185 patients with HBeAg-negative compensated chronic hepatitis B, adefovir was approved for the treatment of chronic HBV in the United States. 80,81 In these trials, adefovir treatment for 48 weeks at a dose of 10 mg per day was associated with significantly greater histological, virological, and biochemical responses than placebo. Because adefovir is renally excreted, it is recommended that the dose interval be extended for patients with underlying renal impairment.…”

“…The primary objective of this study was to assess the efficacy of adefovir dipivoxil 10 mg/d in patients with HBeAg-positive chronic hepatitis B in terms of histological improvement during 48 weeks of treatment. 5,6 Changes in serum HBV DNA and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels, as well as the occurrence of HBeAg seroconversion, were evaluated as secondary end points. To evaluate improvement in liver histology, liver biopsies were performed at baseline and at week 48.…”

“…της ανταπόκρισης: Η αυξημένη τιμή της ALT πριν από την έναρξη της θεραπείας είναι ο ισχυρότερος παράγοντας πρόγνωσης στους HBeAg+ ασθενείς. Το χαμηλό ιικό φορτίο καθώς και η έντονη νεκροφλεγμονώδης δραστηριότητα στη βιοψία ήπατος αποτελούν επίσης ευνοϊκούς προγνωστικούς παράγοντες(60)(61)(62)(63)66). Η πτώση των επιπέδων του HBsAg, πιθανώς συσχετίζεται με αυξημένη πιθανότητα για απώλεια του HBeAg και του HBsAg(67).…”
