Comparing Treatment Completion Of Daily Rifapentine & Isoniazid For One Month (1HP) To Weekly High Dose Rifapentine & Isoniazid For 3 Months (3HP) In Persons Living With HIV and in Household Contacts of Recently Diagnosed Tuberculosis Patients

A multicenter, randomized, stratified, open-label, phase IV trial among HIV-positive persons (PLHIV) on antiretroviral therapy (ART), or HIV-negative household contacts of patients with rifampicin-sensitive pulmonary tuberculosis (TB), who do not have evidence of active TB.

Key information

About this study

Participants will be stratified by indication for tuberculosis (TB) preventive treatment (TPT) - HIV seropositive persons or HIV-negative household contact of person with infectious TB - and will receive either one of two TB preventive therapy regimens:

Group 1: People living with HIV infection without active TB

Arm A: isoniazid (300mg) and rifapentine (600mg) daily for 4 weeks (1HP)

Arm B: isoniazid (900mg) and rifapentine (900mg) weekly for 12 weeks (3HP)

Arm A (n=250): 250 participants age ≥13 years of age who are HIV seropositive and taking ART who do not have evidence of active TB will be recruited from local clinics. After being consented, screened, and randomized, participants in Arm A will receive the 1HP regimen once daily for 4 weeks (28 doses).

Study events include a health history, physical exam, TB symptom screen, symptom screen for adverse events (AEs), adherence checks during 1HP, and clinic visits at months 1, 2, and 6, at the least. Safety labs for liver function will be checked as clinically indicated.

Arm B (n=250): 250 participants age ≥13 years of age who are HIV seropositive and taking ART who do not have evidence of active TB will be recruited from local clinics. After being consented, screened, and randomized, participants in Arm B will receive the 3HP regimen once weekly for 12 weeks (12 doses).

Study events include a health history, physical exam, TB symptom screen, symptom screen for adverse events (AEs), adherence checks during 3HP, and clinic visits at months 1, 2, 3, and 6, at the least. Safety labs for liver function will be checked as clinically indicated.

Group 2: HIV-negative household contacts of newly diagnosed adults with rifampicin-sensitive pulmonary TB.

Arm A: isoniazid (300mg) and rifapentine (600mg) daily for 4 weeks (1HP)

Arm B: isoniazid (900mg) and rifapentine (900mg) weekly for 12 weeks (3HP)

Arm A (n=250): 250 participants age ≥13 years of age who are HIV-negative household contacts of adults with rifampicin-sensitive pulmonary TB who do not have evidence of active TB will be recruited from local clinics and households of active cases. After being consented, screened, and randomized, participants in Arm A will receive the 1HP regimen once daily for 4 weeks (28 doses).

Study events include a health history, physical exam, TB symptom screen, symptom screen for adverse events (AEs), adherence checks during 1HP, and clinic visits at months 1, 2, and 6, at the least. Safety labs for liver function will be checked as clinically indicated.

Arm B (n=250): 250 participants age ≥13 years of age who are HIV-negative household contacts of adults with rifampicin-sensitive pulmonary TB who do not have evidence of active TB will be recruited from local clinics and households of active cases. After being consented, screened, and randomized, participants in Arm B will receive the 3HP regimen once weekly for 12 weeks (12 doses).

Study events include a health history, physical exam, TB symptom screen, symptom screen for adverse events (AEs), adherence checks during 3HP, and clinic visits at months 1, 2, 3, and 6, at the least. Safety labs for liver function will be checked as clinically indicated.
