Sequence characterization of extracellular HBV RNA in patient plasma

Silvia Chang, Charlotte Hedskog, Bandita Parhy, Ross Martin, Hongmei Mo, Evguenia Maiorova, Fabien Zoulim

Summary: Antiviral nucleos(t)ide analogue therapies can inhibit HBV replication and reduce HBV DNA levels, but HBV RNA levels may remain high. HBV RNA can be used as a viral biomarker for treatment outcome and disease progression. This study characterized the sequence of extracellular HBV RNA in plasma samples of patients with chronic HBV infection, and found that it closely resembles HBV DNA sequence. Additionally, RNA splice forms, different polyA tails start positions, and HBV-human chimeric transcript were identified.

The scientific basis of combination therapy for chronic hepatitis B functional cure

Seng Gee Lim, Thomas F. Baumert, Carolina Boni, Ed Gane, Massimo Levrero, Anna S. Lok, Mala K. Maini, Norah A. Terrault, Fabien Zoulim

Summary: Functional cure of chronic hepatitis B (CHB), achieved through hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) loss after 24 weeks off therapy, is the goal of current treatment. However, the rarity of achieving this cure with current therapy highlights the need for novel approaches. The three categories of treatment include reducing viral replication, reducing antigen load, and immunotherapies. Combination therapy of nucleos(t)ide analogues and immunotherapy shows promise in reducing HBsAg levels and inducing HBsAg loss in some patients, particularly those with low baseline HBsAg levels. Monitoring during therapy using viral and immunological biomarkers is important to predict HBsAg loss and understand its mechanisms.

A 3-year course of bulevirtide monotherapy may cure HDV infection in patients with cirrhosis

Summary: Bulevirtide has received conditional approval from the EMA for treating chronic hepatitis delta, but the optimal duration of therapy remains unknown. In this study, a patient with compensated cirrhosis and esophageal varices achieved hepatitis delta cure after 3 years of bulevirtide monotherapy. Virological and biochemical responses were maintained during the 72-week off-therapy follow-up, and significant improvements were observed in liver biopsy results.

Improved hepatitis delta virus genome characterization by single molecule full-length genome sequencing combined with VIRiONT pipeline

Summary: This study presents a workflow to amplify, sequence, and analyze the whole HDV genome in a single fragment. The HDV genome was successfully amplified and fully sequenced, allowing accurate subtyping and identification of a new HDV genotype 1 subtype. This workflow overcomes genome assembly issues and helps to identify modifications throughout the whole HDV genome.

Assessment of neutrophil subsets and immune checkpoint inhibitor expressions on T lymphocytes in liver transplantation: A preliminary study beyond the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio

Summary: This study found that the phenotypes of neutrophils and lymphocytes, along with the expression of immune checkpoint proteins, were altered in cirrhotic patients before and after liver transplantation. These findings highlight the potential importance of immune monitoring in cirrhotic patients during liver transplantation to better assess the risk of infection.

Summary: A pathway-referral using transient elastography (TE) performed in diabetology and nutrition clinics significantly improves the liver fibrosis risk stratification and avoids over-referral. However, collaboration between diabetologists, nutritionists, and hepatologists is needed to avoid under-referral.

Early intrahepatic recurrence of HBV infection in liver transplant recipients despite antiviral prophylaxis

Summary: This study found that viral recurrence can occur rapidly after liver transplantation, despite prophylaxis with nucleos(t)ide analogues (NUCs) and hepatitis B immunoglobulin (HBIG). The majority of patients had at least one HBV marker detected in either serum or the liver 12 months after transplantation. Optimal patient compliance to antiviral prophylaxis is crucial to prevent viral rebound.

Viral sequence analysis of chronic hepatitis B patients treated with the capsid assembly modulator JNJ-56136379 in the JADE phase 2a study

Thierry Verbinnen, Willem Talloen, Harry L. A. Janssen, Fabien Zoulim, Umesh Shukla, Joris J. Vandenbossche, Michael Biermer, Sandra De Meyer, Oliver Lenz

Summary: The study investigates the viral mutations in patients with hepatitis B virus infection treated with JNJ-56136379. The results demonstrate that viral breakthroughs and emergence of drug-resistant variants occurred during JNJ-56136379 monotherapy. However, the addition of nucleos(t)ide analogue treatment effectively controlled the viral mutations. This suggests that JNJ-56136379 monotherapy may not be suitable for patients with hepatitis B.

New Perspectives on Development of Curative Strategies for Chronic Hepatitis B

Jordan J. Feld, Anna S. Lok, Fabien Zoulim

Summary: Current therapy for chronic hepatitis B rarely achieves a functional cure, but novel treatments are being developed. Understanding the mechanisms of hepatitis B virus persistence has helped identify new treatment targets and evaluate novel agents in clinical trials. Combining different agents appears to be a promising strategy to reduce viral replication, invigorate immune responses, and induce specific adaptive immune responses.

Summary: In HIV patients with HBsAg loss, qHBsAg levels decline rapidly at the beginning and then show diverse trajectories during long-term tenofovir therapy. In patients without HBsAg loss, qHBsAg levels remain relatively stable over time.

Summary: This study validated the possibility to quantify cccDNA and assess its transcriptional activity in patients with chronic hepatitis B by combining FNA and droplet digital PCR. The use of FNA in clinical trials to evaluate the intrahepatic viral reservoir during the development of new antivirals and immunomodulatory agents is supported.
