Abstract
To review available literature on the pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, dosing and administration, efficacy, and safety of the antiviral nucleoside analog telbivudine. Information was obtained from searching MEDLINE (1966-December 2005), International Pharmaceutical Abstracts (1970-December 2005), and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews (4th quarter 2005) using the search words telbivudine, L-dT, L-deoxythymidine, L-nucleosides, and nucleosides. Abstracts from the Annual Meeting of the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases and European Association for the Study of the Liver were also searched, including bibliographies from the identified articles. Data from double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials and unpublished information were extracted. Telbivudine is a novel, orally administered nucleoside analog under development for use in the treatment of chronic hepatitis B. In contrast to other nucleoside analogs, telbivudine has not been associated with inhibition of mammalian DNA polymerase with mitochondrial toxicity. Telbivudine demonstrated potent activity against hepatitis B with significantly higher rate of response and superior viral suppression compared with lamivudine, the standard treatment.
