Brief summary

This Phase I/II study evaluated the pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of the anti-tuberculosis (TB) drug delamanid (DLM) in combination with an optimized multidrug background regimen (OBR) for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) in children with MDR-TB with and without HIV.

Detailed description

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of the anti-TB drug DLM in combination with OBR for MDR-TB in children with MDR-TB with and without HIV. Participants were enrolled in one of four age cohorts: 12 to less than 18 years, 6 to less than 12 years, 3 to less than 6 years, or 0 to less than 3 years. All participants were to receive DLM doses according to their age group and weight for 24 weeks. Study visits occurred at study entry; Weeks 2 and 4; every 4 weeks through Week 40; and at Weeks 48, 60, 72, and 96. Visits included physical examinations; blood, urine, and sputum collection; chest x-rays; electrocardiograms (ECGs); hearing tests; medical history reviews; adherence assessments; and acceptability questionnaires.

Interventions

Administered orally; dosing based on participants' weight. ≥ 40 kg: 100 mg twice daily (adult formulation); 30 to \< 40 kg: 50 mg twice daily (adult formulation); 15 to \< 30 kg: 25 mg twice daily (pediatric formulation); \< 15 kg: 15 mg twice daily (pediatric formulation)

DRUGOptimized multidrug background regimen (OBR) for children with MDR-TB

Non-study prescribed OBR varied according to local, national, and/or international guidelines for treatment of children with MDR-TB. Administered in addition to DLM for 24 weeks.

Age Effect on Bioavailability DLMApproximately Week 2Plasma concentrations are used to determine age effect on bioavailability.

Study arms were combined for the analysis of age effect.

Study arms were combined for the analysis of age effect.
Dose Effect on Bioavailability DLMApproximately Week 2Plasma concentrations are used to determine dose effect on bioavailability. For doses \> 50 mg the bioavailability is described by F=(dose/100)-0.66. The participants receiving the dose 100 mg are the reference group and the dose effect of doses 15-20mg, 25mg and 50mg on the bioavailability are compared to the reference group and the fold change is presented.
