Expert Opinion on Investigational Drugs, 10/26/09
Carey N et al. – Monotherapy with either entecavir or tenofovir is the current preferred option in treatment–naive patients. Combination therapy is appropriate in those with drug–resistant HBV infection, where drug choice is guided by the viral drug–resistance genotype/phenotype. Although combination therapy has been advocated in other patient groups (e.g., those with decompensated cirrhosis and following liver transplantation), there are, as yet, no data to mandate the use of combination therapy in such patients and any perceived benefit must be weighed against increased cost and risk for toxicity.
