Baraclude (Entecavir) Treatment Demonstrated Greater Viral Load,Reduction Compared to Adefovir at 48 Weeks in Study of,Antiviral-Naive Chronic Hepatitis B E-Antigen Positive Patients

* Seventy-eight percent (n=28/36) of patients taking BARACLUDE and 82
percent (n=27/33) of patients taking adefovir experienced an adverse
event. The most common adverse events occurring in greater than 10
percent of patients in either treatment group were back pain, headache,
influenza, nasopharyngitis, fever, upper respiratory tract infection,
and urinary tract infection.

* Six percent (n=2/36) of patients taking BARACLUDE and 15 percent
(n=5/33) of patients taking adefovir experienced a Grade 3-4 adverse
event.

* Three percent (n=1/36) of patients taking BARACLUDE experienced a
serious adverse event (elevated ALT that resolved with continued
treatment). Nine percent (n=3/33) of patients taking adefovir
experienced a serious adverse event (one patient had elevated ALT that
resolved with continued treatment; one patient had acute hepatitis with
ALT flare [ALT flare defined as greater than two times baseline and
greater than 10 times the upper limit of normal]; one patient was
involved in a motor vehicle accident).

* There were no deaths in either arm and one patient discontinued
treatment due to an adverse event.
