Perspectives on assessing the clinical value of novel drugs for achieving functional cure of chronic hepatitis B

摘要: 我国乙型肝炎疾病负担较重,在现行慢性乙型肝炎临床诊疗方案中,对满足治疗指征的患者,临床治疗以争取功能性治愈(临床治愈)为核心目标。针对功能性治愈目标,国内外药品监督管理机构相继发布技术标准,指导创新药物临床试验的整体设计与科学评价。但随着该领域科学研究、临床实践和新药研发的快速发展,出现了一些新的挑战,特别是新药临床价值评价问题。本文综述国内外乙型肝炎功能性治愈新药的临床研发现状,分析现有临床试验数据特点,重点探讨乙型肝炎功能性治愈关键性临床试验的目标人群[基线乙型肝炎病毒表面抗原(HBsAg)水平]、HBsAg清除的应答、停药后HBsAg血清学逆转情况以及有临床价值的功能性治愈应答率目标值等,为进一步完善技术标准提供参考。Abstract: China bears a substantial disease burden of chronic hepatitis B (CHB). Under current clinical management regimens for CHB, achieving functional cure (also termed clinical cure) is the core goal for the treatment of patients meeting treatment indications. To achieve the goal of functional cure, drug regulatory authorities in China and globally have successively issued technical criteria to provide guidance for the overall design and scientific evaluation of clinical trials for innovative drugs. However, the rapid development in scientific research, clinical practice, and new drug research and development in this field has brought new challenges, especially those concerning the assessment of the clinical value of investigational drugs. This article reviews the current status of clinical research and development of new drugs for achieving the functional cure of CHB worldwide, analyzes the characteristics of available clinical trial data, and focuses on key aspects of pivotal clinical trials for CHB functional cure drugs, including target populations (baseline HBsAg level), HBsAg seroclearance response, HBsAg seroreversion after drug withdrawal, and clinically meaningful target threshold of functional cure response rate, in order to provide a reference for further refinement of related technical criteria.
