Abstract
Background Bulevirtide (BLV) is approved in Europe for the treatment of chronic hepatitis D (CHD). Optimal BLV monotherapy duration for CHD is unknown). This analysis evaluated BLV monotherapy in pts without VR after 24W.
Methods Results from pts who completed BLV monotherapy for 96W in the Phase 3 (MYR301) and Phase 2 (MYR204) studies were included. NR and PR were defined as HDV RNA declines of <1 log10 IU/mL and ≥1 but <2 log10 IU/mL, respectively. Rates of biochemical response (alanine aminotransferase [ALT] within normal limits [WNL]) were compared.
Results At W24, 65% pts had VR (58% with ALT WNL), 24% had PR (56% with ALT WNL), and 11% had NR (13% with ALT WNL) (IDDF2024-ABS-0269 Table 1).
Conclusions Of 49 pts without VR at W24, the majority with PR and nearly half with NR were able to achieve VR at W96. ALT improved in all viral-response groups, including those with NR.
