| Core Tip |
This was the first prospective, randomised, non-inferiority study in hepatitis B e antigen-negative chronic hepatitis B patients that compared telbivudine and tenofovir administered as per roadmap concept. Both treatments based on the roadmap approach were effective over a 156 wk treatment period. Non-inferiority of telbivudine arm to tenofovir arm was demonstrated at week 52, with over 91% of patients in each treatment arm achieving hepatitis B virus DNA level < 300 copies/mL. Both treaments showed acceptable safety profiles. Moreover, telbivudine showed an improvement in estimated glomerular filtration rate from baseline. |
