Brief summary
Tuberculosis (TB) remains the most important infectious disease in the world. A major barrier to tuberculosis control is poor adherence to long-term and complex treatment regimens. This is a multicenter prospective, non-inferiority randomized controlled study. The purpose of our study is a) to evaluate the tolerability, efficacy and pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) of the high-dose rifapentine, b) to evaluate whether the high-dose rifapentine-containing regimen has the potential to treat the rifampicin-sensitive pulmonary tuberculosis and shorten the course of treatment to 17 weeks. This study is of great significance for shortening the course of treatment, reducing the adverse reactions and economic burden of patients' treatment in rifampicin-sensitive tuberculosis patient.
Detailed description
Tuberculosis (TB) remains the most important infectious disease in the world. A major barrier to tuberculosis control is poor adherence to long-term and complex treatment regimens. Incomplete TB treatment can lead to increased morbidity and mortality, prolonged infectivity and transmission, and the development of drug resistance. The development of new therapeutic strategies with stronger bactericidal activity could lead to shorter and better-tolerated regimens, thereby increasing cure rates, lowering costs, potentially reducing transmission and preventing the emergence of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). This trial is a multicenter prospective, non-inferiority randomized controlled study. Rifampicin-sensitive pulmonary tuberculosis patients will be included in our study. Stage 1 of the study is designed to evaluate the tolerability, efficacy and PK/PD of the high-dose rifapentine in order to select two doses to carry forward into study Stage 2. Study Stage 2 will provide pivotal confirmation of efficacy, safety, and tolerability of the selected rifapentine doses in patients with rifampicin-sensitive pulmonary tuberculosis.
