Цель. Изучение эффективности и безопасности булевиртида – ингибитора проникновения вирусов гепатита B и D в клетку у пациентов с циррозом печени HDV-этиологии. Материалы и методы. Анализ результатов применения булевиртида в режиме монотерапии и двойной терапии с пегилированным интерфероном альфа-2а (ПЕГ-ИФН) в рандомизированных контролируемых открытых сравнительных исследованиях MYR202 и MYR203 у 56 пациентов с компенсированным циррозом печени в исходе хронического гепатита D. Результаты. Монотерапия булевиртидом в течение 24 нед в исследовании MYR202 у 46 пациентов с компенсированным циррозом печени продемонстрировала: 1) высокую частоту вирусологического (100%) и биохимического ответа (нормализация аланинаминотрансферазы – 45,7%) на лечении; 2) превосходство булевиртида в эффективности над контрольной группой (тенофовиром); 3) сопоставимость эффективности лечения у пациентов с циррозом и без; 4) отсутствие прогрессирования фиброза печени при эластометрии у большей части пациентов.
Высокая вирусологическая и биохимическая эффективность булевиртида в режиме монотерапии и двойной терапии с ПЕГ-ИФН подтверждена в течение 48 нед в исследовании MYR203 у 10 пациентов с компенсированным циррозом печени: частота вирусологического ответа составила 80%, нормализации аланинаминотрансферазы – 70%.
Отмечалась хорошая переносимость булевиртида, не выявлено ухудшения переносимости по сравнению с пациентами без цирроза, отсутствовали серьезные нежелательные явления и случаи отмены лечения из-за нежелательных явлений. Заключение. Булевиртид рекомендуется в качестве 1-й линии лечения хронического гепатита D у пациентов с компенсированным циррозом печени в режиме монотерапии и двойной терапии с ПЕГ-ИФН.
Aim. To study the efficacy and safety of bulevirtide, the HBV and HDV entry inhibitor. Materials and methods. Analysis of the results of using bulevirtide in randomized controlled open-label comparative studies MYR202 and MYR203 in 56 patients with chronic hepatitis D and compensated cirrhosis, in monotherapy and combination with pegylated interferon alpha‑2a (PEG-IFN). Results. Monotherapy with bulevirtide for 24 weeks in the MYR202 study in 46 patients with compensated liver cirrhosis demonstrated: 1) a high rate of virological (100%) and biochemical response (alanine aminotransferase normalization rate – 45.7%), 2) superiority of bulevirtide in efficacy over the control group (tenofovir), 3) comparability of treatment efficacy in patients with and without cirrhosis, 4) no progression of liver fibrosis with elastometry in most patients.
Treatment with bulevirtide in monotherapy and combination with PEG-IFN for 48 weeks in 10 patients with compensated liver cirrhosis in the MYR203 study was accompanied by a high rate of virological response (80%) and normalization of alanine aminotransferase (70%).
Bulevirtide was well tolerated, there was no deterioration in tolerability compared with patients without cirrhosis, there were no serious adverse events and cases of treatment cancellation due to adverse events. Conclusion. Bulevirtide is recommended as the first line of treatment for chronic hepatitis D in patients with compensated cirrhosis in monotherapy and combination with PEG-IFN.
