Abstract

We read with interest the study of Goncalves and colleagues1 , presenting a multi-compartmental mathematical model to explain the observed decline of both serum HBV DNA (sDNA) and HBV RNA (sRNA) in chronic HBV-infected patients treated with the core-protein assembly modulator RG7907 for 4 weeks. The authors used their model to predict early sRNA kinetics in chronic HBV-infected patients during nucleosidic analogue (NA) therapy.
