Assessment of the Safety, Tolerability, and Effectiveness of Rifapentine Given Daily for LTBI
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Rifapentine daily for 6 weeks: 600 mg of Rifapentine (RPT) given once daily (o.d., omni die) for 6 weeks (6wP).
Rifapentine and Isoniazid weekly for 12 weeks: Rifapentine (RPT) 900 mg and isoniazid (INH) 900 mg given once-weekly for 12 weeks (3HP).\* \*Dose adjustments based on patient's weight will be made according to ATS/CDC/IDSA guidelines. RPT 900 mg once-weekly for persons weighing \> 50 kg. For persons weighing \< 50 kg, the following doses will be given: weight \> 25-32 kg - RPT 600 mg; weight \> 32-50 kg - RPT 750 mg; + INH 15 mg/kg (round up to nearest 50 or 100 mg; 900 mg max).
Rifampin and Isoniazid daily for 12 weeks: Rifampin (RIF) 600 mg and Isoniazid (INH) 300 mg given once-daily for 12 weeks (3HR)\*. \*Dose adjustments based on patient's weight will be made according to ATS/CDC/IDSA guidelines. RIF 600 mg daily for persons weighing \> 50 kg. For persons weighing \< 50 kg, give 10 mg/kg daily; round up to nearest 50 or 100 mg; + INH 5 mg/kg daily (rounded up to nearest 50 or 100 mg; 300 mg max).
Rifampin daily for 16 weeks: Rifampin (RIF) 600 mg given once-daily for 16 weeks (4R).\* \*Dose adjustments based on patient's weight will be made according to ATS/CDC/IDSA guidelines. RIF 600 mg daily for persons weighing \> 50 kg. For persons weighing \< 50 kg, 10 mg/kg daily; round up to nearest 50 or 100 mg.
Study summary
This study is conducted to compare the safety and effectiveness of a novel short 6-week regimen of daily rifapentine (6wP, experimental arm) with a comparator arm of 12-16 weeks of rifamycin-based treatment (standard of care, control arm) of latent M. tuberculosis infection (LTBI).
This trial is conducted among persons who are at increased risk of progression to tuberculosis (TB) and require treatment of LTBI. The study will be conducted in low, medium and high TB incidence settings that have treatment of LTBI as their standard of care and offer 12-16 week rifamycin-based therapy as standard of care.
The hypothesis of this study is that the safety and effectiveness of the experimental treatment (6wP arm) is non-inferior to a comparator arm of 12-16 weeks of rifamycin-based treatment of LTBI (control arm).
Participants are enrolled and randomly assigned to one of the two study arms: experimental 6wP or control. The comparator (control) arm's treatment regimens include 12 weeks of once-weekly isoniazid (INH) and rifapentine (3HP), 12 weeks of daily INH and rifampin (3HR), and 16 weeks of daily rifampin (4R). A total of 560 participants per arm (1,120 total) for the evaluation of safety and 1,700 participants per arm (3,400 total) for the evaluation of effectiveness will be enrolled, given treatment as per randomization assignment, and followed for 24 months from the date of enrollment.
After completion of data collection, statistical analyses will be conducted to compare proportions of drug discontinuation due to adverse drug reaction (ADR) and proportions of newly diagnosed tuberculosis between 6wP and control arm.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Treatment discontinuation due to adverse drug reaction — from the date of enrollment to the date of scheduled completion of assigned treatment
1\. Safety: Drug discontinuation due to adverse drug reaction (ADR) associated with 6wP and the rifamycin-based comparator arm (3HP, 3HR, or 4R). • Attribution of an adverse event (AE) to study drugs will be initially determined by the local site investigator, reviewed by an independent, blinded adjudication panel and with final attribution determined by the sponsor. - Culture-confirmed tuberculosis (TB) in participants 18 years old and older and culture-confirmed or clinical TB in participants less then 18 years old. — within 24 months from the date of enrollment
2\. Effectiveness: Culture-confirmed TB in participants \> 18 years old and culture-confirmed or clinical TB in participants \< 18 years old. * Diagnosis of culture-confirmed TB will be performed using liquid and/or solid media. * An independent, blinded adjudication panel will review all TB events.
