Efficacy of Entecavir Switching Therapy in Chronic Hepatitis B Patients with Clevudine-induced Myopathy.
Conclusions: In chronic hepatitis B patients experiencing clevudine-induced myopathy, switching to entecavir 0.5 mg per day showed a resolution of myopathy and adequate viral suppression. (Korean J Gastroenterol 2013;61:30-36). PMID: 23354347 [PubMed - in process]

Clevudine Induced Mitochondrial Myopathy.
Authors: Park SH, Park KS, Kim NH, Cho JY, Koh MS, Lee JH Abstract Clevudine was approved as an antiviral agent for hepatitis B virus, which showed marked, rapid inhibition of virus replication without significant toxicity. However, several studies have reported myopathy associated with clevudine therapy. Also, we experienced seven patients who suffered from myopathy during clevudine therapy. To characterize clevudine-induced myopathy, we collected previously reported cases of clevudine myopathy and analyzed all the cases including our cases. We searched electronic databases that were published in English or Korean...

Telbivudine in liver transplant recipients: Renal protection does not overcome the risk of polyneuropathy and myopathy
In conclusion, although it seems to have a favorable effect in the improvement of renal function and to be effective in the prevention of HBV recurrence, the high risk of polyneuropathy and myopathy hamper the use of telbivudine in LT recipients.

Telbivudine-Induced Myopathy: Clinical Features, Histopathological Characteristics, and Risk Factors
CONCLUSIONS: Mitochondrial abnormalities are characteristic histopathological features, and impaired renal function and HBeAg positivity are risk factors for TIM. Telbivudine-induced mitochondrial dysfunction and immune activation related to mitochondrial damage and HBeAg serostatus changes may underlie TIM. Constant clinical surveillance of myopathy during telbivudine treatment is needed due to the significant latency of its development. Dose adjustment for impaired renal function does not eliminate the risk of TIM occurrence.PMID:36606646 | DOI:10.3988/jcn.2023.19.1.52

Insights into the mechanisms of telbivudine-induced myopathy associated with mitochondrial dysfunction
In conclusion, our study provides compelling evidence suggesting that telbivudine-induced myopathy is associated with mitochondrial toxicity and impaired energy metabolism. The observed muscle pathology, depletion of mtDNA, elevation of oxidative stress and altered mitochondrial function support the hypothesis that telbivudine disrupts mitochondrial homeostasis, ultimately leading to muscle damage. This may be also a common mechanism for NAs to cause neuromyopathy.PMID:37659625 | DOI:10.1016/j.cbi.2023.110692
