Summary of antiviral activity of FTC

Cohort (FTC q.d. dose [mg]) No. (%) of patients with:
Median change in log10 HBV DNA level between baseline and day 56 (minimum to maximum) Median % measurable change at day 56a
Serum HBV DNA level less than or equal to LOD ≥2 log10 decrease in serum HBV DNA level
25 (n = 7) 0 (0) 3 (42.9) −1.68 (−4.11 to −0.48) 44.8
50 (n = 8) 3 (37.5) 7 (87.5) −3.15 (−4.24 to −1.57) 83.7

300 (n = 10) 3 (30.0) 9 (90) −3.33 (−4.61 to −1.58) 89.8
All patients (n = 45) 12 (26.7) 35 (77.8) −3.0 (−4.61 to −0.48) 71.8
a

Calculated as the change from the baseline divided by the difference between the LOD (4,700 copies/ml) and the baseline value. Specifically, for each patient the ratio of the observed decrease versus the maximum theoretically measurable decrease was calculated as a percentage, and the median percentage is presented for each dose group.
