- W2000104469 abstract "Interferon (IFN) alfa is a clinically effective therapy used in a wide range of viral infections and cell-proliferative disorders. Combination therapy with IFN alfa-2b and ribavirin is the current standard of care for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C (CHC) infection. However, standard IFN alfa has the drawbacks of a short serum half-life and rapid clearance. To overcome this problem, 2 pegylated forms of IFN have been developed and tested clinically.This article reviews the development and properties of pegylated IFN alfa-2b and pegylated IFN alfa-2a, and presents safety and efficacy data from recent clinical trials.Relevant clinical studies were identified through a MEDLINE search from 1966 through the present using the key words hepatitis C and interferon. Studies of the pegylated IFNs in humans were then selected.Pegylated IFN alfa-2b is formed by covalent conjugation of a 12-kd mono-methoxy polyethylene glycol (PEG) molecule to IFN alfa-2b, and pegylated IFN alfa-2a by covalent conjugation of a 40-kd branched mono-methoxy PEG molecule to IFN alfa-2a. The 2 pegylated IFNs differ in the mixture of pegylation isomers resulting from their conjugation chemistry. Pegylated IFN alfa-2b has a prolonged serum half-life (40 hours) relative to standard IFN alfa-2b (7-9 hours). The greater polymer size of pegylated IFN alfa-2a acts to reduce glomerular filtration, markedly prolonging its serum half-life (72-96 hours) compared with standard IFN alfa-2a (6-9 hours). In clinical studies, once-weekly dosing of the pegylated IFNs was associated with a sustained virologic response in patients infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV). Once-weekly dosing with either of the pegylated IFNs was more effective than the respective thrice-weekly regimen of IFN alfa, with a comparable safety profile. The combination of once-weekly pegylated IFN and ribavirin effectively reduced HCV viral load and sustained viral suppression.Once-weekly dosing with either pegylated IFN alfa-2b or pegylated IFN alfa-2a has been shown to produce significantly higher rates of viral eradication than standard thrice-weekly IFN alfa therapy without compromising safety. With respect to the treatment of CHC, the greatest anti-HCV efficacy has been achieved with the combination of once-weekly pegylated IFN and ribavirin." @default.
