After about 5 years of Hepcludex it´s time to give a follow up on the experiences with the drug. In this episode we talk to the inventor of bulvertide, S. Urban (project leader in our TRR179) and a clinician expert (P. Lampertico from Milan).
We will refer to the following questions:
Which patients benefit from bulevirtide? What about HCC and decomp. cirrhosis?
Do we need interferon for best efficacy? Are the supply chains of interferon a problem?
What do we do with treatment failures? When is someone a treatment failure?
What else is there beyond bulevirtide?
What are the prospects for bulevirtide/entry inhibition in HBV monoinfection?
The authors are refering about the latest paper „Heim, K., Sagar, Sogukpinar, Ö. Sian Llewellyn-Lacey, David A. Price, Florian Emmerich, Anke R. M. Kraft, Markus Cornberg, Sophie Kielbassa, Percy Knolle, Dirk Wohlleber, Bertram Bengsch, Tobias Boettler, Christoph Neumann-Haefelin, Robert Thimme, Maike Hofmann. Attenuated effector T cells are linked to control of chronic HBV infection. Nat Immunol 25, 1650–1662 (2024). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41590-024-01928-4„
