Aims:The Aim of study is to compare the efcacy of entecavir with tenofovir alafenamide in treatment of Chronic Hepatitis B patients. Materials and methods: It is a prospective cohort study to compare efcacy of ENTECAVIR and TAF in treatment of Chronic Hepatitis B. Study location was Out Patient Department(OPD), In Patient Department(IPD) and Medical Intensive care unit (MICU) of Dept. of Medicine of DMCH, Laheriasarai. Study duration was 12 months and total 50 individual was in this study. Result: 12% patients of Entecavir and 16% patients of TAF group were presented with HTN; while DM was observed in 4% patients of Entecavir and 8% patients of TAF group. Regarding co-morbidities we found no signicant difference between two groups (p value = >0.05). Hepatitis B virus DNAin the HBeAg positive group was approximately 2 log10 IU/mLhigher than in the HBeAg-negative group. Conclusion: Treatment with antiviral therapy, ETV or TAF, showed potent antiviral activity against HBV and the efcacy of both drugs was comparable.TAF and ETVshowed comparable efcacy and safety in treatment-naïve CHB patients.

Hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg) encoded by the S gene is highly expressed during the replication cycle of hepatitis B virus (HBV). However, the frequent usage of tryptophan in HBsAg, which leads to a high cost of biosynthesis, is inconsistent with the high expression level of this protein. Tryptophan-truncated mutation of HBsAg, that is, a tryptophan to stop codon mutation resulting in truncated HBsAg, might help to maintain its high expression with lower biosynthetic cost. We aimed to investigate the prevalence of tryptophan-truncated S quasispecies in treatment-naïve patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) by applying CirSeq as well as a site-by-site algorithm developed by us to identify variants at extremely low frequencies in the carboxyl terminus of HBsAg. A total of 730 mutations were identified in 27 patients with CHB, varying from seven to 56 mutations per sample. The number of synonymous mutations was much higher than that of nonsynonymous mutations in the reverse transcriptase (RT) coding region and vice versa in the S coding region, implying that the evolutionary constraints on the RT and S genes might be different. We showed that 25 (92.6 %) of 27 patients had at least one S-truncated mutation, most of which were derived from tryptophan, indicating a high prevalence of tryptophan-truncated S mutations in treatment-naïve patients with CHB. In terms of the RT gene, 21 (77.8 %) patients had pre-existing drug-resistant mutations, while no truncated mutations were detected. Our findings that tryptophan-truncated S quasispecies and drug-resistant RT mutants were highly prevalent in treatment-naïve patients with CHB provide new insights into the composition of the HBV population, which might help optimize the treatment and management of patients with CHB.

Abstract We report two treatment-naïve cases, a 26-year-old female patient and a 59-year-old male patient who were followed up for chronic hepatitis B (CHB) at the Department of Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology. A partial response subsequent to 12 months of Tenofovir Disoproksil (TDF) monotherapy presumably due to an antiviral-drug resistance was noted. A sustained viral response with TDF (245 mg) or Tenofovir Alafenamide (TAF, 25 mg) + Entecavir (ETV, 1 mg) combination therapy was observed after failure with TDF monotherapy. A combination therapy with TDF (245 mg) or TAF (25 mg) +ETV (1 mg) is efficacious in naïve patients with a partial response to TDF monotherapy. Keywords: Chronic hepatitis B, Tenofovir, partial response, Entecavir, combination therapy
