Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The primary purpose is to investigate the pharmacokinetics of PZA (given for 8 weeks) in a 4-month treatment with higher doses of RIF (35 mg/kg) and PZA (40 mg/kg) and standard treatment of INH (5 mg / kg) and EMB (15-20 mg / kg) compared to standard treatment (RIF 10 mg / kg and PZA 20-30 mg / kg as well as INH and EMB in the above standard doses).;Secondary Objective: 1 The inter-individual variability of drug exposure (AUC0-24h) after the first dose and after two weeks of treatment for high-dose RIF. 2. Cmax for highdose RIF/PZA 3. Comparisons of drug exposure for high-dose PZA and high-dose RIF between day 1 and day 14 on individual level. 4 Is it possible by this high-dose regimen to receive higher drug exposure of PZA than previously proposed thresholds AUC0-24h> 363 mg.h / L and Cmax> 35 mg/L for> 90% of the patients? 5 Characterization of primary PK parameters for high-dose PZA/RIF. 6. The incidence and severity of adverse events (AEs) and SAEs 7. Drug exposure in relation to the bacterial susceptibility level in intervention group and control group with correlation to PK/PD. 8. Description of TBscore during the first 2 treatment months. 9. suPAR during the first 2 months of treatment ;Primary end point(s): The primary variable is the area under concentration and time curve (AUC0-24h) for high dose PZA, in a combination regimen with high dose RIF together with standard doses of INH and EMB, at day 1 after the first dose and at treatment week 2.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Day 1 and day 14: AUC measured under 24 hours.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): 1. AUC0-24h for RIF. 2. Cmax for RIF and PZA 3. Primary pharmacokinetic parameters for RIF and PZA 4. Drug exposure in relationship to the susceptibility level of the bacteria (Cmax/MIC and AUC0-24h/MIC). 5. AE and SAE 6. Correlation between TTP and PCR reactivity (Ct value) 7. Description of TB score 8. Description of suPar;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Point 1,2 and 3: are measured under day 1 and day 14. Point 5: From treatment starts until 4 months for the intervention group and 6 months for the control group. Point 4 and 6: During the first two weeks. Point 7 and 8: during the first two months of treatment.
