Lamivudine in Chronic hepatitis B
Goal of treatment in HBV-related chronic hepatitis1. HBV suppression ! / elimination ?
decrease pathogen & infectivity2. Reduction of hepatic necro-inflammation
hepatitis resolution & prevent decompensation3. Prevention of disease progression
hepatitis flares / decompensationcirrhosis and / or hepatoma
4. Improvement in survival & life quality

Zeffix may reverse fibrosis , improve life quality prevent progression , hepatic failure
Zeffix is suggested in1. Compensated cirrhosis with active HBV replication
ALT > 1 ULN , or HBeAg (+) , or HBV-DNA (+)
2. Any decompensated cirrhosis
** Because the YMDD mutant ameliorates the histologic and clinical response , even induced hepatic failure
continue Zeffix or shift to Adefovir immediately

Patients in the Lamivudine group who had YMDD mutations were more likely to have an increased Child–Pugh score thanthose without YMDD mutations (P<0.001), but they were lesslikely to reach an end point than were patients in the placebogroup (P>0.05)
P< 0.001 P> 0.05
Discussion –1 The most important finding of this study is that lamivudine reduces
the risk of liver complications for patients with chronic hepatitis B and cirrhosis or advanced fibrosis.
The main reservation about the long-term use of lamivudine has been the emergence of YMDD mutations, which has occasionally been associated with severe, and even fatal, flares of hepatitis.In light of this uncertainty, the finding that treatment withlamivudine for a median period of 32 months reduces the rates of hepatic decompensation and hepatocellular carcinoma withoutincreasing the number of serious adverse events is important.
Discussion – 2Even among patients who developed YMDD mutations
clinical end points occurred less frequently than among patients receiving placebo. (next fig )
However, patients with YMDD mutations were more likely to have an increase in the Child–Pugh score and to die for reasons related to clinical end points than were those patients who did not have YMDD mutations.
The long-term effects of lamivudine on disease progression are not known. Since the present trial was started, treatment with a combination of adefovir dipivoxil and lamivudine has been shown to suppress replication of YMDD mutations and improve liver function in patients with hepatic decompensation.
The adverse effects of YMDD mutations may be overcome by the addition of adefovir dipivoxil, but we did not assess this possibility in our population.

Discussion – 3In summary, this multicenter, prospective, randomized, double-blind,
placebo-controlled trial of lamivudine in patients with chronichepatitis B and cirrhosis or advanced fibrosis showed that lamivudine decreased progression of the disease, thereby reducing clinically important complications.( hepatic decompensation ,HCC)
The emergence of YMDD mutations reduced the benefit of lamivudinebut did not negate it, despite the occurrence of more end points due to decompensation among patients with YMDD mutations thanamong those without YMDD mutations.
Our results provide the opportunity to develop strategies to achieve even better outcomes for patients with chronic hepatitis B and cirrhosis or advanced fibrosis by means of sustained viral suppression by minimizing or preventing the effects of drug resistance.
Conclusions
Lamivudine reduces disease progression in cirrhotic
CHB patients ( p=0.001)
Lamivudine reduces the incidence of HCC (p=0.047)
Lamivudine is safe and well tolerated in cirrhotic
CHB patients for at least 3 years
YMDD mutant emergence (49%) reduced the benefit
in delaying disease progression
Summary of HBV with Zeffix treatment***HBeAg(+) with ALT > 5 ULN (seroconversion rate 65 %)***Acute exacerbation with decompensation
( early medication before Bil > 20 ; In practice , if Bilirubin >3mg/dl or PT prolong >3 seconds may start Zeffix as soon as possible )
***HBV (+) with organ transplantation recipient***HBV (+) cancer patient undergoing C/T *** Decompensated cirrhosis waiting for liver transplantation** ~*** Liver cirrhosis with decompensation*~ ** Liver cirrhosis( Child A,B ) afraid of relapse after Tx
* HBeAg(+) with ALT > 2~5 ULN (seroconversion rate 25 %)* Pre-core mutant with elevated ALT
