Asymptomatic TB With Innovative Modified Short-course Regimens

Официальное название

Clinical Efficacy of a Short-course Regimen for Asymptomatic Tuberculosis in China

Обзор

This study is a randomized controlled trial among asymptomatic tuberculosis individuals aiming to assess whether the standard treatment duration can be shortened to 17 weeks without increasing the types or doses of anti-tuberculosis medications or 13 weeks with the high-dose rifapentine and moxifloxacin.

Подробное описание

This study is a prospective, open-label, multicenter randomized controlled trial. The randomization process will use centralized stratified block randomization to minimize bias across province of participating sites.

Asymptomatic tuberculosis individuals included in the study will be randomly assigned in a 1:1:1 ratio to three groups: Standard Regimen Group, Four-month Regimen Group or Three-month Regimen Group. The standard regimen consists of rifampicin (R), isoniazid (H), pyrazinamide (Z), and ethambutol (E) for 8 weeks, followed by rifampicin and isoniazid for an additional 18 weeks. The four-month regimen group follows the same regimen as the standard regimen group for the initial 8 weeks, followed by a continuation phase of daily rifampin (R) and isoniazid (H) for 9 weeks. The three-month regimen consists of high-dose rifapentine (P), isoniazid (H), pyrazinamide (Z), and moxifloxacin (M) for 8 weeks, followed high-dose Rifapentine (P), isoniazid (H), and moxifloxacin (M) for 5 weeks. For individuals in the four-month and the three-month regimen group, the treatment response will be evaluated at the end of the treatment phase. If the sputum culture remains positive at week 8, or if the radiological examination at the end of treatment still shows unclosed cavities, the continuation phase treatment will be extended by an additional 8 weeks.

Вмешательства

• Препарат Four-month regimen
  The four-month regimen consists of a 17-week course of standard daily first-line anti-tuberculosis therapy, administered as either fixed-dose combinations or separate bulk drugs, in accordance with the recommendations of Technical Guidelines for Tuberculosis Prevention and Control in China. The treatment comprises an intensive phase of 8 weeks with Isoniazid (H) , Rifampicin (R), Pyrazinamide (Z) and Ethambutol (E), followed by continuation phase of 9 weeks with HR. If the sputum culture remains

  Three-month regimen consists of two periods of 13-21 weeks. During the intensive phase (8 weeks), rifapentine 900 mg daily; moxifloxacin 400 mg daily; isoniazid 300 mg daily; pyrazinamide \<50.0kg 1000mg daily, 50.0-70.9kg 1500 mg daily, ≥71kg 2000mg daily. During the continuation phase (5 or 13 weeks based on the culture resultes and radiological manifestations), rifapentine 900 mg daily; moxifloxacin 400 mg daily; isoniazid 300 mg daily; All treatment is taken orally. For rifapentine administr

  The standardized regimen consists of a 26-week course of standard daily first-line anti-tuberculosis therapy, administered as either fixed-dose combinations or separate bulk drugs, in accordance with the recommendations of Technical Guidelines for Tuberculosis Prevention and Control in China. The treatment comprises an intensive phase of 8 weeks with Isoniazid (H) , Rifampicin (R), Pyrazinamide (Z) and Ethambutol (E), followed by continuation phase of 18 weeks with HR.
