17 HBV reactivation: - 35 (39%) HbsAg carriers - 9 (5%) anti-hbc+ 257 patients with positive HBV markers who received anti-tnf therapy - 89 HbsAg carriers - > in patients previously treated with immunosuppressive agents (96% vs 70%) - < in patients who received antiviral prophylaxis (23% vs 62%) Acute liver failure reported in 5 patients (4 died) anti-hbc+ IFX was associated with a higher rate of induced liver damage compared with ETA Perez Alvarez R et al, Medicine 2011

22 VACCINATION An anti-hbs concentration of 10 miu ml measured 1 3 months after administration of the last dose of the vaccination is considered a reliable marker of protection against HBV infection Chevaux JB et al, IBD 2010 Loras C et al, Am J Gastroenterol 2009 Papa A et al, JCC 2013 Periodic (e.g. annual) testing to assess anti-hbs concentrations (and administering booster doses when anti- HBs levels decline to <10 miu ml) may be considered for IBD patients Rahier JF et al, JCC 2014

27 IgG1k monoclonal Ab against IL 12/23 Chiu HY et al British J Dermatol 2013

28 Wyant et al, Gut 2015 Vedolizumab did not affect the protective immunity to HBV In a placebo-controlled study of normal volunteers, a single 750 mg dose of vedolizumab did not lower rates of protective immunity to hepatitis B virus in volunteers who were vaccinated intramuscularly with 3 doses of recombinant hepatitis B surface antigen. Hepatitis B surface antibody (HBsAb) Mean HBsAb concentration, IU/L Serum IgA response to oral cholera vaccine Mean IgA titer, IU/L Normal visit day Normal visit day

29 CONCLUSIONS HBV reactivations are not uncommon in inactive HBV patients treated with immunosuppressive therapies for ID Current guidelines highly recommend prophylaxis in case of IS therapies ETV or TDF are recommended as the optimal agents against HBV reactivations Patients with occult or resolved HBV precise regularly HBV DNA monitoring during immunosuppressant therapy in order to detect reactivations There is a paucity of data concerning HBVr among new biological therapies
