Hepatology. 2010;52: Slide 24 16

17 Care with patients who have previously been exposed to Lam mono-therapy 6 patients switched from TDF to ETV Lam maintained in 5/6 Rapid rebound in HBV viraemia median 2 months (range 1-11 months) All had baseline L180M + M204V What do we do next? Continue Entacavir and repeat HBV DNA Switch Entacavir to ADF Switch back to TDF on alternate days Stop Entacavir and start PegIFN Phone a friend. 17

18 Jerry (5) Confirmed HBV DNA 2658 c/ml 3 weeks later Switched to TDF alternate days HBV DNA 6 weeks later <100c/ml Renal function 3 months later 69ml/min Adefovir add-on in patients with lamivudine resistance 3-yr cumulative probability 100 Virologic breakthrough* ADV mono ADV+LAM P< % 6% Months * >1 log rebound from nadir Lampertico, Hepatology 2006; Lampertico, Gastroenterology

19 Unanswered questions What is the minimum effective dose of TDF? Does the PK/PD profile of alternate day TDF allow for effective suppression of HBV replication? Is alternate day TDF less tubulo toxic? Is continuing Lam driving reduced efficacy of ETV Multidrug Resistance ADV LAM ADV + LAM ADV + ETV?

20 Take home messages Ensure HBV vaccination and presence of protective anti-hbs levels Avoid lamivudine monotherapy for HBV treatment Therapy regimens high potency and high genetic barrier (ETV/TDF) Monitor for non-response, slow response and viral rebound For patients with lam resistance TDF offers the best likelihood of re-suppression And they lived happily after 20
