Tenofovir alafenamide for treating chronic hepatitis B

Based on two ongoing studies comparing the efficacy and safety of tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) to tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B patients, this study on “96 weeks treatment of tenofovir alafenamide vs. tenofovir disoproxil fumarate for hepatitis B virus infection” confirms previous results obtained from 48 week figures and shows that TAF continues to be as effective as TDF with significantly less bone and renal toxicity even after two years of treatment (J Hepatol (2018), https://doi.org/ 10.1016/j.jhep.2017.11.039).
