Prediction of Sustained Response After Nucleo(s)tide Analogue Cessation Using HBsAg and HBcrAg Levels: A Multicenter Study (CREATE)

Milan J. Sonneveld et al.

Summary: In this multicenter study, off-treatment outcomes after NA cessation varied with ethnicity. Lower levels of HBcrAg and HBsAg were associated with favorable outcomes. A risk score comprising both factors can be used for risk stratification.

Viral and immune factors associated with successful treatment withdrawal in HBeAg-negative chronic hepatitis B patients

Mireia Garcia-Lopez et al.

Summary: Factors contributing to successful outcome upon nucleos(t)ide analogue treatment withdrawal in HBeAg-negative chronic hepatitis B patients include low HBsAg levels, decreased cccDNA transcription, and the presence of functional HBV-specific T cells. Moreover, a high frequency of functional HBV-specific CD8+ T cells at baseline is associated with sustained viral control off treatment. This study highlights the importance of virological and immunological factors in guiding individualized therapy for chronic hepatitis B patients.

Temporal and geographic spreading of hepatitis B virus genotype A (HBV-A) in Brazil and the Americas

Jonas Michel Wolf et al.

Summary: Hepatitis B virus genotype A, specifically subgenotypes HBV-A1 and HBV-A2, have been widely circulated in the Americas, with A1 showing an evolutionary history dating back to the 17th-18th centuries, and A2 spreading from Europe in the 19th century onwards and introduced in the Americas and Brazil in the 20th century.

APASL guidance on stopping nucleos(t)ide analogues in chronic hepatitis B patients

Jia-Horng Kao et al.

Summary: Chronic HBV infection is currently incurable and long-term treatment with NAs can reduce complications, but stopping treatment may lead to virological relapse and adverse outcomes. Close monitoring and personalized follow-up strategies are essential for a safe cessation of NA therapy.

Prospective Study of Withdrawal of Antiviral therapy in Patients with Chronic Hepatitis B after Prolonged Virological Response

Naveen Gara et al.

Summary: The study suggests that HBeAg-negative patients with CHB can safely achieve long-term remission and have high rates of HBsAg loss after stopping antiviral therapy. In contrast, patients who were initially HBeAg-positive should not be withdrawn from treatment, as clinical relapse was frequent and often severe.
