Terapia de inducción con interferón alfa-2a en la cirrosis por el virus de la hepatitis C compensada. Estudio multicéntrico aleatorizado

Abstract

Fundamento Aunque el tratamiento con interferon (IFN) a las dosis estandar solo consigue unarespuesta persistente en el 5% de los pacientes con cirrosis debida al virus de la hepatitis C(CVHC), se ha planteado que podria disminuir el riesgo de complicaciones y la incidencia dehepatocarcinoma. Teniendo en cuenta los estudios cineticos del virus de la hepatitis C (VHC),la terapia de induccion con IFN podria aumentar las tasas de respuesta al tratamiento. Pacientes y metodo Cuarenta pacientes con CVHC compensada fueron distribuidos al azar pararecibir (grupo I = 19) o no (grupo II = 21) tratamiento con IFN (4,5 MU/dia durante 6 meses,seguidos de 4,5 MU/dias alternos durante 6 meses mas, solo si la ALT se habia normalizado). Resultados El tratamiento con IFN hubo de reducirse o interrumpirse por efectos adversos en11 (58%) y seis (31,5%) casos, respectivamente. La respuesta al final del tratamiento se observoen 4 pacientes del grupo I (21%), que fue persistente en dos (10,5%), y en ninguno delgrupo II (p = 0,04 y NS, respectivamente). La probabilidad global de presentar ascitis, hepatocarcinomay/o muerte o trasplante hepatico fue menor en el grupo I que en el II (el 6 frenteal 27% a los tres anos; p = 0,05). Conclusiones Aunque la terapia de induccion con IFN en la CVHC compensada se asocia a frecuentesefectos adversos e induce una respuesta persistente en una proporcion baja de pacientes,podria mejorar el pronostico a medio plazo de los pacientes.
