Patrick Marcellin, MD Hospital Beaujon, University of Paris I have financial relationships within the last 12 months relevant to my presentation with: Hoffman La Roche, Schering Plough, Gilead Sciences, Bristol Myers Squibb and Idenix-Novartis,Vertex, Human Genome Sciences, Cytheris, Intermune, Pharmasset and Tibotec. AND My presentation does include discussion of off-label use of emtricitabine for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B
Background Tenofovir DF (TDF) is a nucleotide analog and obligate chain terminator Approved for HIV-1 in 2001: ~ 2 million patient-years of experience Approved for chronic hepatitis B (CHB) in 2008 Week 48 Phase 3 data showed TDF superior to ADV: –93% of HBeAg-negative TDF-treated patients had HBV DNA <400 copies/mL
Aim To evaluate the safety and efficacy of: 2 years of TDF therapy Switch from ADV to TDF
RANDOMIZATION 2:1 Tenofovir 300 mg Adefovir 10 mg Open-label Week 48 Liver Biopsy Pre-treatment Liver Biopsy Double Blind Week 96 Tenofovir 300 mg HBeAg Negative Study 102 Design * Week 72 HBV DNA ≥ 400 copies/mL option to add emtricitabine (FTC) to TDF in a fixed dose tablet Year 2 Year 1 Week 72* TDF TDF-TDF: N= TDF FTC/TDF: N= (2)* ADV ADV-TDF: N= Patients (on study drug) Week 384 Year 8
HBeAg- patients Age years Compensated liver disease Lamivudine experienced or naive HBV DNA > 10 5 copies/mL ALT > ULN and <10 x ULN Knodell necroinflammatory score ≥ 3 HIV-1, HDV, HCV seronegative Key Eligibility Criteria
Methods HBV DNA and laboratory analyses every 8 weeks HBsAg every 16 weeks Resistance surveillance: patients with HBV DNA ≥ 400 copies/mL (69 IU/mL) Assessments During Year 2 (after week 48 through week 96)

ADV Switch Patients Viral suppression on ADV is maintained after switching to TDF –100% of patients (76/76) were responders at Week 96 Viral suppression of viremic patients on ADV is rapidly obtained with TDF –At week 64: 94% –At week 96: 100% HBV DNA response (below 400 copies/mL) at Week 96 for ADV patients who switched to TDF at Week 48:
Mean ALT (U/L) (95% CI) ULN for females=34 U/L ULN for males=43 U/L
Patients with Virologic Breakthrough During Year 2 Definition of Virologic Breakthrough: confirmed ≥400 copies/mL after being <400 copies/mL OR confirmed 1 log increase from nadir
Patients with Virologic Breakthrough Pt 7957 TDF FTC+TDF Non-adherent (TDF levels BQL) HBV DNA (Log 10 Copies/mL) Weeks on Study LLOQ TDF non-adherent (TDF levels BQL) Pt 6852
Patients with Virologic Breakthrough Pt 1674 Pt 1669 Patient off drug between weeks 80 and 96 TDF
Resistance Surveillance All patients : – at baseline – yearly if ≥ 400 copies/mL ( ≥ 69 IU/mL – at discontinuation of TDF mono-therapy if ≥ 400 copies/mL Any patient post-baseline with: –conserved site changes in pol/RT –virologic breakthrough –polymorphic site changes (> 1 patient)
Resistance Surveillance Results No resistance up to 2 years of TDF mono-therapy No HBV pol/RT amino acid substitutions associated with TDF resistance were detected through 96 weeks of TDF monotherapy Week 96 TDF Resistance Surveillance; A Snow-Lampart et al. Poster # 977
Summary of Safety Data during Open Label TDF Week 96 TDF-TDF (N=250) ADV-TDF (N=125) Study Drug-Related SAE 1 (<1%)0 Deaths Metastatic liver carcinoma1 (<1%) 0 G3 or G4 Laboratory23 (10%)11 (10%) Discontinue due to an AE hepatic neoplasm dizziness, fatigue, lack of concentration 2 (1%) Confirmed ↓ phosphorus < 2mg/dL 2 (<1%) 1 (<1%) Confirmed 0.5 mg/dL in creatinine 00 Confirmed creatinine clearance <50 mL/min 00
Conclusions Week 96 TDF demonstrated durable, potent antiviral activity through Week 96: –99% of patients on therapy had HBV DNA <400 copies/mL No resistance to TDF monotherapy detected up to 2 years Patients can safely and effectively switch from ADV to TDF treatment: –100% of patients had HBV DNA <400 copies/mL TDF was well tolerated through Week 96
