Long-term therapeutic efficacy of lamivudine compared with interferon-alpha in children with chronic hepatitis B: the younger the better.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVES:To assess and compare the long-term therapeutic response to lamivudine compared with interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha) in children with chronic hepatitis B. METHODS:A total of 40 children (27 male; age, 1.3-18 y, mean, 7.7 y) with chronic hepatitis B who received lamivudine for at least 12 months were followed for a mean period of 39 (24-76) months. Their treatment efficacy was historically compared with that of 19 children (14 male; age, 2.1-17 y; mean, 10 y) who had been treated with IFN-alpha and were followed for a mean period of 39 (24-104) months. Therapeutic responses were compared at 2 y after the initiation of either of the treatment methods. RESULTS:Two years after the initiation of treatment, the results for children treated with lamivudine versus IFN-alpha were as follows: hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) seroconversion occurred in 26 (65%) of the 40 children versus 7 (37%) of the 19 children, P < 0.05. In the lamivudine-treated group, the results for children treated before the age of 7 versus age >7 were as follows: HBeAg seroconversion occurred in 17 (89%) of the 19 children versus 9 (43%) of the 21 children, P < 0.01, and loss of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) occurred in 8 (42%) versus 0%, P < 0.001. CONCLUSIONS:Long-term treatment of lamivudine led to significant improvement in the seroconversion rate of HBeAg in children with chronic hepatitis B compared with IFN-alpha therapy. Furthermore, in preschool-age children, it led to significant improvement in the seroconversion rate of HBeAg and HBsAg compared with school-age children.
