Description
Indication & Scope
HuaYouNuo® Libevitug Injection serves as long-term subcutaneous injection treatment for adult patients with chronic hepatitis D virus (HDV) infection, with or without compensated liver cirrhosis.
- Mechanism: Anti-sodium taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (NTCP) neutralizing monoclonal antibody. It binds with high specificity to the NTCP receptor expressed on hepatocyte surface, blocks HDV virion attachment and internalization into liver cells, interrupts complete HDV viral replication cycle and reduces intrahepatic viral load to improve hepatic inflammation.
- Drug class: Anti-NTCP human monoclonal antibody / Anti-hepatitis D virus antiviral biologic injectable drug.
- Clinical use: Single-agent chronic suppressive therapy for chronic HDV-infected adults with compensated liver disease; reduces serum HDV RNA levels, alleviates hepatic necroinflammation and slows progression to decompensated cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma.

How to use ?
Recommended Dose: Standard fixed subcutaneous injection dose of 300 mg, administered once every two weeks (biweekly maintenance dosing).
Time: Biweekly fixed-day subcutaneous injection, self-administered by patients into abdomen or thigh tissue independent of meal timing.
Instructions for use: Rotate subcutaneous injection sites with each biweekly dose; conduct baseline Child-Pugh liver function classification before initiation; monitor serum HDV RNA, liver transaminases and hepatic fibrosis markers every 12 weeks during chronic therapy; avoid live viral vaccines during antibody treatment.
Interaction: Concurrent nucleos(t)ide analog anti-HBV agents deliver additive viral suppression for co-infected HBV/HDV patients without amplified adverse risk; systemic immunosuppressants may reduce libevitug’s antiviral potency by suppressing endogenous antibody activity.
Side effects: Common mild adverse reactions: injection site redness, pruritus, headache, transient mild ALT flare, fatigue, arthralgia. Rare severe risks: systemic hypersensitivity anaphylaxis, severe persistent hepatic transaminase elevation, secondary bacterial infection at injection sites.

FAQ
What hepatocyte surface receptor does Libevitug Injection neutralize to block hepatitis D virion entry into liver cells?
It binds and inhibits the sodium taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (NTCP), the sole host receptor for HDV cellular uptake.
What stage of chronic liver disease in HDV patients excludes them from receiving Libevitug Injection therapy?
Decompensated liver cirrhosis classified as Child-Pugh B or C hepatic dysfunction.
What two core clinical biomarkers require quarterly monitoring to assess Libevitug Injection antiviral therapeutic response?
Circulating serum HDV RNA viral load and hepatic ALT transaminase inflammation levels.
Why does Libevitug Injection provide complementary antiviral activity when co-administered with standard nucleoside analog HBV treatments for co-infected patients?
Nucleos(t)ide analogs suppress HBV genome replication, while libevitug exclusively blocks HDV host cell entry, generating dual viral suppression in HBV/HDV co-infected individuals.
