Abstract BACKGROUND/AIMS: We studied the long-term efficacy (median follow-up of 28 months) of adefovir (ADV) in combination with lamivudine (LAM) in 132 LAM-resistant Japanese patients with chronic genotype C-dominant hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. METHODS: The viral response (undetectable HBV-DNA by PCR assay) and the predictor of viral response were evaluated. The emergence of ADV-resistant mutants was investigated during the combination therapy. RESULTS: The cumulative probability of viral response was 69% at 12 months, and 81% at 24 months. Multivariate analysis identified baseline HBe antigen status (P=0.0001), aspartate aminotransferase level (AST) (P=0.001) and HBV-DNA level (P=0.002) as determinants of viral response to treatment. At the beginning of ADV therapy, substitutions at rtA181 (rtA181T and rtA181S) were identified in 3 patients (2.3%). In the remaining 129 patients, the rtM204 mutants were identified at baseline, and two (1.6%) of the 129 patients developed new ADV-resistant mutants; one was rtA181S and another was rtA181T plus rtN236T mutation. CONCLUSIONS: Adefovir and lamivudine combination therapy effectively suppressed viral replication and maintained the efficacy well in LAM-resistant patients with chronic HBV infection. Genotypic analysis indicated that the emergence of ADV-resistant mutants is rare, at least over a period of 2 years, in patients with combination therapy.

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.
