Abstract BACKGROUND: A previous clinical study of oral clevudine monotherapy for 24 weeks demonstrated that it has potent sustained antiviral effects without inducing drug resistance. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antiviral effects and safety of clevudine monotherapy for 12 months. METHODS: In this open-labelled prospective study, 45 treatment-naive chronic hepatitis B patients treated with 30 mg clevudine once daily for 12 months were monitored at baseline and at 3-month intervals during treatment. RESULTS: At baseline, the mean age of patients was 42 years, 32 were hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)-positive and 15 had liver cirrhosis. After 12 months of clevudine therapy, the mean serum hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA level in HBeAg-positive patients had decreased by 4.6 log(10) IU/ml. Serum HBV DNA was undetectable in 68.7% of patients. HBeAg loss or seroconversion was observed in five patients (15.6%) and serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) level had normalized after 12 months of treatment in 75% of patients. In all 13 HBeAg-negative patients, serum HBV DNA level was undetectable after 12 months of therapy and ALT level was normal in 61.5% of patients. Viral breakthrough occurred in one patient after 9 months of clevudine treatment. This patient had an HBV polymerase mutation, rtM204I. There were no serious adverse events. CONCLUSIONS: One-year clevudine therapy is effective for suppressing serum HBV DNA level and for normalization of ALT level. Viral breakthrough associated with the rtM204I mutation in the HBV polymerase gene occurs during long-term clevudine treatment.

Note
Basic Characteristics of Mutations
  • Mutation Site: The specific location in a gene or protein sequence where a change occurs.
  • Mutation Level: The level at which a mutation occurs, including the nucleotide or amino acid level.
  • Mutation Type: The nature of the mutation, such as missense mutation, nonsense mutation, synonymous mutation, etc.
  • Gene/Protein/Region: Refers to the specific region of the virus where the mutation occurs. Including viral genes, viral proteins, or a specific viral genome region. If the article does not specifically indicate the relationship between the mutation and its correspondence, the main
  • Gene/Protein/Region studied in the article is marked.
  • Genotype/Subtype: Refers to the viral genotype or subtype where the mutation occurs. If the article does not specifically indicate the relationship between the mutation and its correspondence, the main Genotype/Subtype studied in the article is marked.
  • Viral Reference: Refers to the standard virus strain used to compare and analyze viral sequences.
Functional Impact and Mechanisms
  • Disease: An abnormal physiological state with specific symptoms and signs caused by viral infection.
  • Immune: The article focuses on the study of mutations and immune.
  • Target Gene: Host genes that viral mutations may affect.
Clinical and Epidemiological Correlations
  • Clinical Information: The study is a clinical or epidemiological study and provides basic information about the population.
  • Treatment: The study mentioned a certain treatment method, such as drug resistance caused by mutations. If the study does not specifically indicate the relationship between mutations and their correspondence treatment, the main treatment studied in the article is marked.
  • Location: The source of the research data.
