AbstractBackground & Aims: The GLOBE trial has compared the efficacy and safety of telbivudine versus lamivudine treatment over 2 years in patients with chronic hepatitis B. Methods: Hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)-positive (n = 921) and HBeAg-negative (n = 446) patients received telbivudine or lamivudine once daily for 104 weeks. The primary outcome, assessed in the intent-to-treat population, was therapeutic response (hepatitis B virus DNA <5 log 10 copies/mL and either HBeAg loss or normalization of alanine aminotransferase [ALT] level). Results: The therapeutic response to telbivudine was superior to that of lamivudine in HBeAg-positive (63% vs 48%; P < .001) and HBeAg-negative (78% vs 66%; P = .007) patients. HBeAg-positive patients given telbivudine also had better outcomes compared with lamivudine in terms of nondetectable viremia (<300 copies/mL) at 55.6% versus 38.5% (P < .001), HBeAg loss at 35.2% versus 29.2% (P = .056), and viral resistance at 25.1% versus 39.5% (P < .001). Hepatitis B e antigen seroconversion was 29.6% versus 24.7% (P = .095) in all patients and 36% versus 27% (P = .022) in patients with baseline ALT level ≥2 times normal. Telbivudine-treated HBeAg-negative patients showed higher rates of nondetectable viremia compared with lamivudine at 82.0% versus 56.7% (P < .001) and less resistance at 10.8% versus 25.9% (P < .001). Adverse events occurred with similar frequency, whereas grade 3/4 increases in creatine kinase levels were more common in patients given telbivudine (12.9% vs 4.1%, P < .001). Multivariate logistic regression analyses identified telbivudine treatment, among other variables, as an independent predictor of better week 104 outcomes. Conclusions: Telbivudine is superior to lamivudine in treating patients with chronic hepatitis B over a 2-year period. © 2009 AGA Institute.
