Clinical Trial Summary

To determine if a high-dose first-line regimen is non-inferior (non-inferiority margin 10%) in terms of safety to the same regimen at regular dosing, in previously treated patients with rifampicin-susceptible recurrent Tuberculosis (TB).


Description:

Stage 1: This is a pragmatic open-label multi-stage randomized clinical trial. Potential participants will be screened and enrolled in Damien Foundation (DF) clinics participating in the trial. First we will perform a two-arm study with 6EHRZ as control arm and 6EH³R³Z as intervention arm. If at interim analysis the intervention arm is not considered to be non-inferior to the control arm, the intervention stops and enrolment will continue in a an adapted intervention arm and the control arm (6EHRZ). Otherwise, enrolment continues to 6EHRZ and 6EH³R³Z. Observational study (stage 2): The DSMB members agreed due to safety concerns to continuing the study as a cohort with only the control arm. The control regimen will remain the same (6EHRZ). As per routine practice, during treatment patients are in daily contact with the direct observed therapy (DOT) supervisor and minimally monthly clinic visits are scheduled for monitoring of safety and treatment response. Additionally, liver function tests will be performed at fixed intervals during treatment. Six month and one year after treatment completion or cure the patient will be checked for relapse with systematic sputum acid-fast bacilli (AFB)-microscopy and TB culture.

Intervention

Drug:
6EH³R³Z
A triple dose is defined as the triple of the routine dose used for a specific WHO weight band. Hence, the mg/kg within a weigh-band varies, as is the case in routine practice. Dosing takings into consideration the fixed dose combination (FDC) tablets (one tablet: 150 mg R + 75 mg H + 400 mg Z + 275mg E). Dosage relies on tables with dosage by weight-bands used by WHO for the Cat. 1 regimen. The dosage used for the intensive phase of the Cat. 1 regimen applies for the whole treatment duration. A double dose of H and R is added to the recommended normal dose for adults (WHO,2003)
6EHRZ
Recommended normal dose adults (WHO, 2003) H: 5 (4-6) mg/kg/day R: 10 (8-12) mg/kg/day Z: 25 (20-30)mg/kg/day E: 15 (15-18)mg/kg/day

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary number of patients with any grade 3-5 Adverse Event (AE) during treatment, assessed as probably or definitely related to TB treatment 18 months
Primary Describe bacterial effectiveness specific for stage 2 participants of the trial 18 months
Primary Describe acquired resistance specific for stage 2 participants of the trial 18 months
Secondary number of previously treated patients with H-monoresistance and H-polyresistance, rifampicin (RMP) resistance missed by Xpert Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB)/rifampicin (RIF) frequency of initial resistance patterns and mutations conferring resistance 18 months
Secondary Programmatical effectiveness:number of participants with treatment success divided by number of participants with failure, death, or Lost to follow-up (LTFU) 6 months treatment success: A patient with smear-positive Pulmonary Tuberculosis (PTB) at the beginning of treatment who completed treatment and sputum smear microscopy (SSM) negative in the last month of treatment and on at least one previous occasion or culture-negative at 6 months. A patient with smear-positive PTB at the beginning of treatment who completed treatment without clinical evidence of failure but with no record of sputum smear or culture results in the last month of treatment (either because tests were not done or because results are unavailable) 18 months treatment success: Those who were cured or completed treatment and were evaluated at 12 months post-treatment to be a) SSM negative , or b) SSM positive but culture (CU) negative, or c) without sputum and no clinical signs of TB. 6 months, 18 months
Secondary Clinical effectiveness: number of participants with treatment success, divided by number of participants with failure or death 6 months treatment success: A patient with smear-positive PTB at the beginning of treatment who completed treatment and SSM negative in the last month of treatment and on at least one previous occasion or culture-negative at 6 months. A patient with smear-positive PTB at the beginning of treatment who completed treatment without clinical evidence of failure but with no record of sputum smear or culture results in the last month of treatment (either because tests were not done or because results are unavailable) 18 months treatment success: Those who were cured or completed treatment and were evaluated at 12 months post-treatment to be a) SSM negative , or b) SSM positive but CU negative, or c) without sputum and no clinical signs of TB. 6 months, 18 months
Secondary Bacteriological effectiveness : number of participants with treatment success, divided by number of participants with failure 6 months treatment success: A patient with smear-positive PTB at the beginning of treatment who completed treatment and SSM negative in the last month of treatment and on at least one previous occasion or culture-negative at 6 months. A patient with smear-positive PTB at the beginning of treatment who completed treatment without clinical evidence of failure but with no record of sputum smear or culture results in the last month of treatment (either because tests were not done or because results are unavailable) 18 months treatment success: Those who were cured or completed treatment and were evaluated at 12 months post-treatment to be a) SSM negative , or b) SSM positive but CU negative, or c) without sputum and no clinical signs of TB. 6 months, 18 months
Secondary number of participants with acquired resistance, to Isoniazid (INH) and/or RMP In patients with recurrence, the recurrent strain will be compared with the diagnostic strain to identify possible differences in the resistance pattern. If the strain is the same, and resistance is not present in the diagnostic sample but is identified in the recurrence sample, then this resistance is considered as acquired. Resistance is defined as a) on genotypic Drug susceptibility testing (DST) (Deeplex or other): presence of a mutation in the resistance determining region for the drug with exception of generally recognized polymorphisms and silent mutations not leading to an error in the gene product. Heteroresistance at the proportion detectable by these methods will be considered at par with full-blown resistance, or b) growth at the critical concentration for the drug tested in phenotypic DST. 6 months, 18 months
Secondary number of participants with stable (without reversion) SSM conversion conversion to 0 AFB per field, without subsequent treatment failure 2 months
Secondary number of participants with drug-induced hepatotoxicity hepatotoxicity due to anti-TB drug treatment was defined as the following criteria:
Grade 3-5 elevation of Liver function test (LFT), or grade 2 elevation of liver function tests with jaundice; AND
absence of serological evidence of infection with hepatitis B or C, AND
normalization or at least a 50% improvement in abnormal liver chemistry results after withdrawal of anti-TB drugs
18 months
Secondary number of participants with any TB treatment change due to drug-induced hepatoxicity 18 months
Secondary number of participants with any TB treatment change due to AE 18 months
Secondary number of participants with any grade 3-5 AE 18 months
Secondary number of participants with any Serious Adverse Event (SAE) 18 months
