Vemlidy(tenofovir alafenamide,TAF)是近十年来首个获FDA批准每日一次治疗慢性乙肝新药
近日,美国FDA批准其新药产品Vemlidy(tenofovir alafenamide,TAF)25mg,每日一次治疗伴有代偿性肝病的慢性乙型肝炎病毒(HBV)感染。
Vemlidy是一种创新型、靶向性、tenofovir前药,与Gilead的先前产品 300mg的Viread (tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, TDF)相比, 只需要少于十分之一的剂量就可达到类同的抗病毒功效。临床数据显示,与Viread相比,Vemlidy具有更大的血浆稳定性而且可更有效地将tenofovir递送到肝细胞,所以可以使用更低的给药剂量,导致血液中富含更少的tenofovir。因为上述原因,与Viread相比,Vemlidy有效改善了针对肾脏和骨骼的安全性参数。
Vemlidy的获批来自两个国际型3期临床试验(研究108和研究110)的长达48周的数据支持,总共涉及了1298名初治和有过治疗的慢性HBV感染成人患者。研究108使用Vemlidy或Viread随机化治疗了425例HBeAg阴性患者,研究110使用Vemlidy或Viread随机化治疗了873名HBeAg阳性患者。两个研究都达到了它们的主要临床研究终点:在治疗第48周时,基于血浆HBV DNA水平低于29IU/mL的慢性乙型肝炎患者的百分比这一指标,Vemlidy显示出了相对Viread的非劣效性。
在两个研究的综合分析中,与使用Viread治疗的患者相比较,接受Vemlidy治疗的患者在某些骨骼和肾脏的参数方面得到改善。在血清丙氨酸氨基转移酶(ALT)水平的正常化速率上,Vemlidy组中的患者的数值也更高。Vemlidy和Viread在两项研究中都耐受性良好。
Gilead Sciences公司总裁兼首席执行官John Milligan博士说道:“自20世纪90年代中期以来,Gilead一直致力于改善和简化慢性乙型肝炎患者的医疗护理。Vemlidy是近十年内被批准用于治疗这种疾病的首个药物,我们很高兴能提供一个新的有效选择,以帮助促进患者的长期护理。”

FULL PRESCRIBING INFORMATION: CONTENTS*
1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE
VEMLIDY is indicated for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in adults with compensated liver disease [see Clinical Studies (14)].
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
2.1 Testing Prior to Initiation of VEMLIDY
Prior to initiation of VEMLIDY, patients should be tested for HIV-1 infection. VEMLIDY alone should not be used in patients with HIV infection [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)].
It is recommended that serum creatinine, serum phosphorous, estimated creatinine clearance, urine glucose, and urine protein be assessed before initiating VEMLIDY and during therapy in all patients as clinically appropriate [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4)].
2.2 Recommended Dosage in Adults
The recommended dosage of VEMLIDY is 25 mg (one tablet) taken orally once daily with food [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].
2.3 Dosage in Patients with Renal Impairment
No dosage adjustment of VEMLIDY is required in patients with mild, moderate, or severe renal impairment. VEMLIDY is not recommended in patients with end stage renal disease (estimated creatinine clearance below 15 mL per minute) [see Use in Specific Populations (8.6) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].
2.4 Dosage in Patients with Hepatic Impairment
No dosage adjustment of VEMLIDY is required in patients with mild hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh A). VEMLIDY is not recommended in patients with decompensated (Child-Pugh B or C) hepatic impairment [see Use in Specific Populations (8.7) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. 
3 DOSAGE FORMS AND STRENGTHS
Tablets: 25 mg of tenofovir alafenamide (equivalent to 28 mg of tenofovir alafenamide fumarate) — yellow, round, film-coated tablets, debossed with "GSI" on one side of the tablet and "25" on the other side.
4 CONTRAINDICATIONS
None.
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
5.1 Lactic Acidosis/Severe Hepatomegaly with Steatosis
Lactic acidosis and severe hepatomegaly with steatosis, including fatal cases, have been reported with the use of nucleoside analogs, including tenofovir disoproxil fumarate in combination with other antiretrovirals. A majority of these cases have been in women. Obesity and prolonged nucleoside exposure may be risk factors. Particular caution should be exercised when administering nucleoside analogs to any patient with known risk factors for liver disease; however, cases have also been reported in patients with no known risk factors. Treatment with VEMLIDY should be suspended in any patient who develops clinical or laboratory findings suggestive of lactic acidosis or pronounced hepatotoxicity (which may include hepatomegaly and steatosis even in the absence of marked transaminase elevations).
5.2 Severe Acute Exacerbation of Hepatitis B after Discontinuation of Treatment
Discontinuation of anti-hepatitis B therapy, including VEMLIDY, may result in severe acute exacerbations of hepatitis B. Patients who discontinue VEMLIDY should be closely monitored with both clinical and laboratory follow-up for at least several months after stopping treatment. If appropriate, resumption of anti-hepatitis B therapy may be warranted.
5.3 Risk of Development of HIV-1 Resistance in Patients Coinfected with HBV and HIV-1
Due to the risk of development of HIV-1 resistance, VEMLIDY alone is not recommended for the treatment of HIV-1 infection. The safety and efficacy of VEMLIDY have not been established in patients coinfected with HBV and HIV-1. HIV antibody testing should be offered to all HBV-infected patients before initiating therapy with VEMLIDY, and, if positive, an appropriate antiretroviral combination regimen that is recommended for patients coinfected with HIV-1 should be used.
5.4 New Onset or Worsening Renal Impairment
Renal impairment, including cases of acute renal failure and Fanconi syndrome (renal tubular injury with severe hypophosphatemia), has been reported with the use of tenofovir prodrugs in both animal toxicology studies and human trials. In clinical trials of VEMLIDY, there have been no cases of Fanconi syndrome or Proximal Renal Tubulopathy (PRT).
Patients taking tenofovir prodrugs who have impaired renal function and those taking nephrotoxic agents, including non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, are at increased risk of developing renal-related adverse reactions [see Drug Interactions (7.2)].
It is recommended that serum creatinine, serum phosphorous, estimated creatinine clearance, urine glucose, and urine protein be assessed before initiating VEMLIDY and during therapy in all patients as clinically appropriate. Discontinue VEMLIDY in patients who develop clinically significant decreases in renal function or evidence of Fanconi syndrome.
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS
The following adverse reactions are discussed in other sections of the labeling:
Lactic Acidosis/Severe Hepatomegaly with Steatosis [see Boxed Warning and Warnings and Precautions (5.1)]
Severe Acute Exacerbation of Hepatitis B [see Boxed Warning and Warnings and Precautions (5.2)]
New Onset or Worsening of Renal Impairment [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4)]
6.1 Clinical Trials Experience
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
Adverse Reactions in Adult Subjects with Chronic Hepatitis B and Compensated Liver Disease
The safety assessment of VEMLIDY was based on pooled data through the Week 48 data analysis from 1298 subjects in two randomized, double-blind, active-controlled trials, Study 108 and Study 110, in adult subjects with chronic hepatitis B and compensated liver disease. A total of 866 subjects received VEMLIDY 25 mg once daily [see Clinical Studies (14.1)].
The proportion of subjects who discontinued treatment with VEMLIDY or tenofovir disoproxil fumarate due to adverse reactions of any severity was 1.0% and 1.2%, respectively. Table 1 displays the frequency of the adverse reaction (all Grades) greater than or equal to 5% in the VEMLIDY group.

Renal Laboratory Tests
In a pooled analysis of Studies 108 and 110 in adult subjects with chronic hepatitis B and a median baseline eGFR of 106 and 105 mL per minute (for the VEMLIDY and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate [TDF] groups, respectively), mean serum creatinine increased by less than 0.1 mg/dL and median serum phosphorus decreased by 0.1 mg/ dL in both treatment groups. Median change from baseline in eGFR was -1.2 mL per minute in the VEMLIDY group and -5.4 mL per minute in those receiving TDF. The long-term clinical significance of these renal laboratory changes on adverse reaction frequencies between VEMLIDY and TDF is not known.
Decrease in Bone Mineral Density
In a pooled analysis of Studies 108 and 110, the mean percentage change in bone mineral density (BMD) from baseline to Week 48 as assessed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) was -0.6% with VEMLIDY compared to -2.4% with TDF at the lumbar spine and -0.2% compared to -1.9% at the total hip. BMD declines of 5% or greater at the lumbar spine were experienced by 6% of VEMLIDY subjects and 20% of TDF subjects. BMD declines of 7% or greater at the femoral neck were experienced by 3% of VEMLIDY subjects and 6% of TDF subjects. The long-term clinical significance of these BMD changes is not known.
Laboratory Abnormalities
The frequency of laboratory abnormalities (Grades 3–4) occurring in at least 2% of subjects receiving VEMLIDY in Studies 108 and 110 are presented in Table 2.

Amylase and Lipase Elevations and Pancreatitis
In Studies 108 and 110, seven subjects treated with VEMLIDY with elevated amylase levels had associated symptoms, such as nausea, low back pain, abdominal tenderness, biliary pancreatitis and pancreatitis. Of these seven, two subjects discontinued VEMLIDY due to elevated amylase and/or lipase; one subject experienced recurrence of adverse events when VEMLIDY was restarted. No subject treated with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate had associated symptoms or discontinued treatment.
Serum Lipids
Changes from baseline in total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, triglycerides, and total cholesterol to HDL ratio among subjects treated with VEMLIDY and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate are presented in Table 3.

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS
7.1 Potential for Other Drugs to Affect VEMLIDY
VEMLIDY is a substrate of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and BCRP. Drugs that strongly affect P-gp and BCRP activity may lead to changes in tenofovir alafenamide absorption (see Table 4). Drugs that induce P-gp activity are expected to decrease the absorption of tenofovir alafenamide, resulting in decreased plasma concentrations of tenofovir alafenamide, which may lead to loss of therapeutic effect of VEMLIDY. Coadministration of VEMLIDY with other drugs that inhibit P-gp and BCRP may increase the absorption and plasma concentration of tenofovir alafenamide.
7.2 Drugs Affecting Renal Function
Because tenofovir is primarily excreted by the kidneys by a combination of glomerular filtration and active tubular secretion, coadministration of VEMLIDY with drugs that reduce renal function or compete for active tubular secretion may increase concentrations of tenofovir and other renally eliminated drugs and this may increase the risk of adverse reactions. Some examples of drugs that are eliminated by active tubular secretion include, but are not limited to, acyclovir, cidofovir, ganciclovir, valacyclovir, valganciclovir, aminoglycosides (e.g., gentamicin), and high-dose or multiple NSAIDs [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4)].
7.3 Established and Other Potentially Significant Interactions
Table 4 provides a listing of established or potentially clinically significant drug interactions. The drug interactions described are based on studies conducted with tenofovir alafenamide or are predicted drug interactions that may occur with VEMLIDY. [For magnitude of interaction, see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. Information regarding potential drug-drug interactions with HIV antiretrovirals is not provided (see the prescribing information for emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide for interactions with HIV antiretrovirals). The table includes potentially significant interactions but is not all inclusive.

Based on drug interaction studies conducted with VEMLIDY, no clinically significant drug interactions have been observed with: ethinyl estradiol, itraconazole, ketoconazole, ledipasvir/sofosbuvir, midazolam, norgestimate, sertraline, sofosbuvir, and sofosbuvir/velpatasvir.
8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS
8.1 Pregnancy
Pregnancy Exposure Registry
There is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to VEMLIDY during pregnancy. Healthcare providers are encouraged to register patients by calling the Antiretroviral Pregnancy Registry (APR) at 1-800-258-4263.
Risk Summary
There are no human data on the use of VEMLIDY in pregnant women to inform a drug-associated risks of adverse fetal developmental outcome. In animal studies, no adverse developmental effects were observed when tenofovir alafenamide was administered during the period of organogenesis at exposure equal to or 51 times (rats and rabbits, respectively) the tenofovir alafenamide exposure at the recommended daily dose of VEMLIDY [see Data]. No adverse effects were observed in the offspring when TDF (tenofovir disoproxil fumarate) was administered through lactation at tenofovir exposures of approximately 12 times the exposure at the recommended daily dosage of VEMLIDY.
The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2–4% and 15–20%, respectively.
Data
Animal Data
Embryonic fetal development studies performed in rats and rabbits revealed no evidence of impaired fertility or harm to the fetus. The embryo-fetal NOAELs (no observed adverse effect level) in rats and rabbits occurred at tenofovir alafenamide exposures similar to and 51 times higher than, respectively, the exposure in humans at the recommended daily dose. Tenofovir alafenamide is rapidly converted to tenofovir; the observed tenofovir exposure in rats and rabbits were 54 (rats) and 85 (rabbits) times higher than human tenofovir exposures at the recommended daily dose.
Tenofovir alafenamide was administered orally to pregnant rats (25, 100, or 250 mg/kg/day) and rabbits (10, 30, or 100 mg/kg/day) through organogenesis (on gestation days 6 through 17, and 7 through 20, respectively). No adverse embryo-fetal effects were observed in rats and rabbits at tenofovir alafenamide exposures approximately similar to (rats) and 51 (rabbits) times higher than the exposure in humans at the recommended daily dose of VEMLIDY. Tenofovir alafenamide is rapidly converted to tenofovir; the observed tenofovir exposures in rats and rabbits were 54 (rats) and 85 (rabbits) times higher than human tenofovir exposures at the recommended daily dose. Since tenofovir alafenamide is rapidly converted to tenofovir and a lower tenofovir exposure in rats and mice was observed after tenofovir alafenamide administration compared to TDF, another prodrug for tenofovir administration, a pre/postnatal development study in rats was conducted only with TDF. Doses up to 600 mg/kg/day were administered through lactation; no adverse effects were observed in the offspring on gestation day 7 [and lactation day 20] at tenofovir exposures of approximately 12 [18] times higher than the exposures in humans at the recommended daily dose of VEMLIDY.
8.2 Lactation
Risk Summary
It is not known whether VEMLIDY and its metabolites are present in human breast milk, affect human milk production, or have effects on the breastfed infant. Tenofovir has been shown to be present in the milk of lactating rats and rhesus monkeys after administration of TDF [see Data]. It is not known if tenofovir alafenamide can be present in animal milk. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother's clinical need for VEMLIDY and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from VEMLIDY or from the underlying maternal condition.
Data
Animal Data
Studies in rats and monkeys have demonstrated that tenofovir is secreted in milk. Tenofovir was excreted into the milk of lactating rats following oral administration of TDF (up to 600 mg/kg/day) at up to approximately 24% of the median plasma concentration in the highest dosed animals at lactation day 11 [see Data (8.1)]. Tenofovir was excreted into the milk of lactating monkeys following a single subcutaneous (30 mg/kg) dose of tenofovir at concentrations up to approximately 4% of plasma concentration, resulting in exposure (AUC) of approximately 20% of plasma exposure.
8.4 Pediatric Use
Safety and effectiveness of VEMLIDY in pediatric patients less than 18 years of age have not been established.
8.5 Geriatric Use
Clinical trials of VEMLIDY did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects.
8.6 Renal Impairment
No dosage adjustment of VEMLIDY is required in patients with mild, moderate, or severe renal impairment. VEMLIDY is not recommended in patients with end stage renal disease (estimated creatinine clearance below 15 mL per minute) [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].
8.7 Hepatic Impairment
No dosage adjustment of VEMLIDY is required in patients with mild hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh A). The safety and efficacy of VEMLIDY in patients with decompensated cirrhosis (Child-Pugh B or C) have not been established; therefore VEMLIDY is not recommended in patients with decompensated (Child-Pugh B or C) hepatic impairment [see Dosage and Administration (2.4) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].
10 OVERDOSAGE
If overdose occurs, monitor patient for evidence of toxicity. Treatment of overdosage with VEMLIDY consists of general supportive measures including monitoring of vital signs as well as observation of the clinical status of the patient. Tenofovir is efficiently removed by hemodialysis with an extraction coefficient of approximately 54%.
11 DESCRIPTION
VEMLIDY is a tablet containing tenofovir alafenamide for oral administration. Tenofovir alafenamide, a hepatitis B virus (HBV) nucleoside analog reverse transcriptase inhibitor, is converted in vivo to tenofovir, an acyclic nucleoside phosphonate (nucleotide) analog of adenosine 5'-monophosphate.
Each tablet contains 25 mg of tenofovir alafenamide (equivalent to 28 mg of tenofovir alafenamide fumarate). The tablets include the following inactive ingredients: croscarmellose sodium, lactose monohydrate, magnesium stearate, and microcrystalline cellulose. The tablets are film coated with a coating material containing: iron oxide yellow, polyethylene glycol, polyvinyl alcohol, talc, and titanium dioxide.
The chemical name of tenofovir alafenamide fumarate drug substance is L-alanine, N-[(S)-[[(1R)-2-(6-amino-9H-purin-9-yl)-1-methylethoxy]methyl]phenoxyphosphinyl]-, 1-methylethyl ester, (2E)-2-butenedioate (2:1).
It has an empirical formula of C21H29O5N6P∙½(C4H4O4) and a formula weight of 534.50. It has the following structural formula:

Specific Populations
Geriatric Patients, Race, and Gender
No clinically relevant differences in tenofovir alafenamide or tenofovir pharmacokinetics due to race or gender have been identified. Limited data in subjects aged 65 and over suggest a lack of clinically relevant differences in tenofovir alafenamide or tenofovir pharmacokinetics [see Use in Specific Populations (8.5)].
Patients with Renal Impairment
Relative to subjects with normal renal function (estimated creatinine clearance ≥90 mL/min), the tenofovir alafenamide and tenofovir systemic exposures in subjects with severe renal impairment were 1.9-fold and 5.7-fold higher, respectively. The pharmacokinetics of tenofovir alafenamide have not been evaluated in patients with creatinine clearance less than 15 mL per minute.
Patients with Hepatic Impairment
Relative to subjects with normal hepatic function, tenofovir alafenamide and tenofovir systemic exposures were 7.5% and 11% lower in subjects with mild hepatic impairment, respectively.
HIV and/or Hepatitis C Virus Coinfection
The pharmacokinetics of tenofovir alafenamide have not been fully evaluated in subjects coinfected with HIV and/or hepatitis C virus.
Drug Interaction Studies
[see Drug Interactions (7)]
The effects of coadministered drugs on the exposure of tenofovir alafenamide are shown in Table 7. The effects of tenofovir alafenamide on the exposure of coadministered drugs are shown in Table 8 [For information regarding clinical recommendations, see Drug Interactions (7)].

12.4 Microbiology
Mechanism of Action
Tenofovir alafenamide is a phosphonamidate prodrug of tenofovir (2'-deoxyadenosine monophosphate analog). Tenofovir alafenamide as a lipophilic cell-permeant compound enters primary hepatocytes by passive diffusion and by the hepatic uptake transporters OATP1B1 and OATP1B3. Tenofovir alafenamide is then converted to tenofovir through hydrolysis primarily by carboxylesterase 1 (CES1) in primary hepatocytes. Intracellular tenofovir is subsequently phosphorylated by cellular kinases to the pharmacologically active metabolite tenofovir diphosphate. Tenofovir diphosphate inhibits HBV replication through incorporation into viral DNA by the HBV reverse transcriptase, which results in DNA chain-termination.
Tenofovir diphosphate is a weak inhibitor of mammalian DNA polymerases that include mitochondrial DNA polymerase γ and there is no evidence of toxicity to mitochondria in cell culture.
Antiviral Activity in Cell Culture
The antiviral activity of tenofovir alafenamide was assessed in a transient transfection assay using HepG2 cells against a panel of HBV clinical isolates representing genotypes A-H. The EC50 (50% effective concentration) values for tenofovir alafenamide ranged from 34.7 to 134.4 nM, with an overall mean EC50 value of 86.6 nM. The CC50 (50% cytotoxicity concentration) values in HepG2 cells were greater than 44,400 nM. In cell culture combination antiviral activity studies of tenofovir with the HBV nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors entecavir, lamivudine, and telbivudine, no antagonistic activity was observed.
Resistance in Clinical Trials
In a pooled analysis of treatment-naïve and treatment-experienced subjects receiving VEMLIDY in Studies 108 and 110, genotypic resistance analysis was performed on paired baseline and on-treatment HBV isolates for subjects who either experienced virologic breakthrough (2 consecutive visits with HBV DNA greater than or equal to 69 IU/mL [400 copies/mL] after having been less than 69 IU/mL, or 1.0-log10 or greater increase in HBV DNA from nadir) through Week 48, or had HBV DNA greater than or equal to 69 IU/mL at early discontinuation at or after Week 24. Treatment-emergent amino acid substitutions in the HBV reverse transcriptase domain, all occurring at polymorphic positions, were observed in some HBV isolates evaluated (5/20); however, no specific substitutions occurred at a sufficient frequency to be associated with resistance to VEMLIDY.
Cross-Resistance
The antiviral activity of tenofovir alafenamide was evaluated against a panel of isolates containing substitutions associated with HBV nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor resistance in a transient transfection assay using HepG2 cells. HBV isolates expressing the lamivudine resistance-associated substitutions rtM204V/I (±rtL180M±rtV173L) and expressing the entecavir resistance-associated substitutions rtT184G, rtS202G, or rtM250V in the presence of rtL180M and rtM204V showed less than 2-fold reduced susceptibility (within the inter-assay variability) to tenofovir alafenamide. HBV isolates expressing the rtA181T, rtA181V, or rtN236T single substitutions associated with resistance to adefovir also had less than 2-fold changes in EC50 values; however, the HBV isolate expressing the rtA181V plus rtN236T double substitutions exhibited reduced susceptibility (3.7-fold) to tenofovir alafenamide. The clinical relevance of these substitutions is not known.
13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY
13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility
Since tenofovir alafenamide is rapidly converted to tenofovir and a lower tenofovir exposure in rats and mice was observed after tenofovir alafenamide administration compared to tenofovir disoproxil fumarate administration, carcinogenicity studies were conducted only with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate. Long-term oral carcinogenicity studies of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate in mice and rats were carried out at exposures up to approximately 10 times (mice) and 4 times (rats) those observed in humans at the 300 mg therapeutic dose of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate for chronic hepatitis B. The tenofovir exposure in these studies was approximately 151 times (mice) and 50 times (rat) those observed in humans after administration of VEMLIDY treatment. At the high dose in female mice, liver adenomas were increased at tenofovir exposures approximately 151 times those observed after VEMLIDY administration in humans. In rats, the study was negative for carcinogenic findings.
Tenofovir alafenamide was not genotoxic in the reverse mutation bacterial test (Ames test), mouse lymphoma or rat micronucleus assays.
There were no effects on fertility, mating performance or early embryonic development when tenofovir alafenamide was administered to male rats at a dose equivalent to 155 times the human dose based on body surface area comparisons for 28 days prior to mating and to female rats for 14 days prior to mating through Day 7 of gestation.
13.2 Animal Toxicology and/or Pharmacology
Minimal to slight infiltration of mononuclear cells in the posterior uvea was observed in dogs with similar severity after three- and nine-month administration of tenofovir alafenamide; reversibility was seen after a three month recovery period. At the NOAEL for eye toxicity, the systemic exposure in dogs was 5 (tenofovir alafenamide) and 14 (tenofovir) times the exposure seen in humans at the recommended daily VEMLIDY dosage.
14 CLINICAL STUDIES
14.1 Clinical Trials in Adults with Chronic Hepatitis B Virus Infection and Compensated Liver Disease
The efficacy and safety of VEMLIDY in the treatment of adults with chronic hepatitis B virus infection with compensated liver disease are based on 48-week data from two randomized, double-blind, active-controlled studies, Study 108 (N=425) and Study 110 (N=873). In both studies, besides study treatment, patients were not allowed to receive other nucleosides, nucleotides, or interferon.
In Study 108, HBeAg-negative treatment-naïve and treatment-experienced subjects with compensated liver disease (no evidence of ascites, hepatic encephalopathy, variceal bleeding, INR <1.5× ULN, total bilirubin <2.5× ULN, and albumin >3.0 mg/dL) were randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive VEMLIDY 25 mg (N=285) once daily or tenofovir disoproxil fumarate 300 mg (N=140) once daily for 48 weeks. The mean age was 46 years, 61% were male, 72% were Asian, 25% were White, 2% were Black, and 1% were other races. 24%, 38%, and 31% had HBV genotype B, C, and D, respectively. 21% were treatment experienced [previous treatment with oral antivirals, including entecavir (N=41), lamivudine (N=42), tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (N=21), or other (N=18)]. At baseline, mean plasma HBV DNA was 5.8 log10 IU/mL, mean serum ALT was 94 U/L, and 9% of subjects had a history of cirrhosis.
In Study 110, HBeAg-positive treatment-naïve and treatment-experienced subjects with compensated liver disease were randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive VEMLIDY 25 mg (N=581) once daily or tenofovir disoproxil fumarate 300 mg (N=292) once daily for 48 weeks. The mean age was 38 years, 64% were male, 82% were Asian, 17% were White, and 1% were Black or other races. 17%, 52%, and 23% had HBV genotype B, C, and D, respectively. 26% were treatment experienced [previous treatment with oral antivirals, including adefovir (N=42), entecavir (N=117), lamivudine (N=84), telbivudine (N=25), tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (N=70), or other (n=17)]. At baseline, mean plasma HBV DNA was 7.6 log10 IU/mL, mean serum ALT was 120 U/L, and 7% of subjects had a history of cirrhosis.
In both studies, randomization was stratified on prior treatment history (nucleoside naïve or experienced) and baseline HBV DNA (<7, ≥7 to <8, and ≥8 log10 IU/mL in Study 108; and <8 and ≥8 log10 IU/mL in Study 110). The efficacy endpoint in both trials was the proportion of subjects with plasma HBV DNA levels below 29 IU/mL at Week 48. Additional efficacy endpoints include the proportion of subjects with ALT normalization, HBsAg loss and seroconversion, and HBeAg loss and seroconversion in Study 110.
Treatment outcomes of Studies 108 and 110 at Week 48 are presented in Table 9 and Table 10.
