Clinical Trial Summary

A multicenter, prospective, non-inferiority, randomized and open clinical trial comparing levofloxacin with isoniazid in the treatment of latent tuberculosis infection in patients eligible for liver transplantation.

Patients over 18 years of age on the waiting list for liver transplantation.

Sample size: n=870 patients.

HYPOTHESIS

Levofloxacin treatment of latent tuberculosis infection, begun while on the waiting list for liver transplantation, is safer and not less effective than isoniazid treatment begun after transplantation when liver function is stable.


Clinical Trial Description

Primary Objective

1. To demonstrate that the incidence of tuberculosis in patients with latent tuberculosis infection and treated with levofloxacin is not higher than that observed in patients treated with isoniazid.

Secondary Objective

2. To demonstrate that the efficacy of levofloxacin is not limited by adverse effects, paying particular attention to hepatotoxicity. ;
