摘要: 在病毒性肝炎中,丁型肝炎病毒(HDV)合并乙型肝炎病毒(HBV)感染是最为严重的类型,患者肝脏疾病进展快速,发生肝硬化与肝细胞癌的风险显著增加。治疗HBV的核苷(酸)类似物对HDV感染无效,亟需开发特异有效的抗HDV病毒治疗手段。近年来,针对HDV的特异性抗病毒药物研发取得重要进展,其中以靶向病毒入侵阶段的病毒进入抑制剂(布来韦肽)和单克隆抗体药物(立贝韦塔单抗)为代表的新药,为HDV感染治疗带来突破性进展。本综述简述HDV治疗药物的最新研究进展,重点介绍新近获批的HDV治疗新药的作用机制和临床研究数据,并探讨HDV治疗领域内仍待解决的问题,以期为了解丁型肝炎的治疗现状提供参考。Abstract: Co-infection of hepatitis D virus (HDV) and hepatitis B virus (HBV) is the most severe form of viral hepatitis and is associated with accelerated progression of liver disease and a significant increase in the risk of liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Nucleo(s)tide analogues for HBV treatment are ineffective against HDV infection, necessitating the urgent need for developing specific and effective antiviral therapies for HDV. In recent years, significant advances have been made in the research and development of specific antiviral drugs against HDV, including entry inhibitors targeting viral entry (Bulevirtide) and monoclonal antibody drugs (Libevitug), which bring ground-breaking advances in the treatment of HDV infection. This article briefly reviews the latest research advances in therapeutic drugs for HDV, introduces the mechanism of action and clinical research data of new drugs recently approved for the treatment of HDV, and discusses the challenges that need to be solved in the field of HDV treatment, in order to provide a reference for understanding the current status of hepatitis D treatment.
