5. Study Description

Brief Summary
There is a rapidly-growing need to identify evidence-based, safe, and effective co-treatment regimens for HIV-related tuberculosis (TB) among patients who require protease inhibitor (PI)-based antiretroviral therapy (ART). This study compared three alternative co-treatment options among participants in high TB endemic resource-constrained settings, in which one co-treatment option explores if an additional anti-HIV drug needs to be used when patients are being treated with a PI together with rifabutin-based anti-TB treatment.
Detailed Description
Rifampin (RIF), the cornerstone of TB treatment, has very problematic drug-drug interactions with PIs. The use of relatively high doses of ritonavir appear necessary to overcome this interaction, but it is unclear whether the co-treatment regimen of RIF-based TB treatment and double-dose PI-based ART will be safe and tolerable for patients with HIV-related TB and effective in treating both HIV and TB. The study proposed to determine if, for HIV-1-infected participants with active TB who require PI-based ART, a standard-dose lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/r) regimen, with or without raltegravir (RAL), coupled with rifabutin (RBT)-based TB treatment is superior to a double-dose LPV/r regimen coupled with RIF-based TB treatment. At study entry, participants were randomized (1:1:1) to receive standard-dose LPV/r-based HIV treatment plus RBT-based TB treatment (Arm A), double-dose LPV/r-based HIV treatment plus RIF-based TB treatment (Arm B), or standard-dose LPV/r-based HIV treatment plus RAL plus RBT-based TB treatment (Arm C). Accrual was planned to take place in two accrual periods. Accrual period 1 would enroll 60 participants who would undergo an initial dose-finding period before continuing regular study follow-up. Once the review of the dose-finding pharmacokinetic (PK) and safety data from accrual period 1 participants was completed, accrual period 2 was planned to open to accrual. Study duration was 72 weeks. Visits occurred at weeks 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 32, 40, 48, and 72. The key evaluations included physical examination, clinical assessments, TB evaluations including chest x-ray, acid-fast bacilli (AFB) smear, mycobacterial culture, and drug susceptibility testing, CD4 cell count, HIV viral load, hematology, chemistry, and pregnancy testing in women of reproductive potential. Sputum, serum, and urine were stored for use in future analyses. An intensive PK visit occurred at day 12. PK blood draws in participants in Arms A and C were at RBT pre-dose and at 2, 4, 5, 6, and 24 hours RBT post-dose. PK blood draws in participants in Arm B were at LPV/r pre-dose and at 2, 4, 5, and 6 hours LPV/r post-dose. The target sample size was 471 participants, but the study was terminated after 71 participants due to feasibility concerns. The 71 participants were followed for the planned 72 weeks. Because of the limited sample size, formal statistical comparisons were not undertaken as originally planned.

Description
New post-randomization diagnoses were considered AIDS-defining based on the CDC classification system. The percent of participants who experienced a new AIDS-defining illness or died was calculated with an associated standard error. Confidence intervals were calculated using Wilson's score method. As stated in the Detailed Study Description of the Protocol Section, formal statistical comparisons were not undertaken because of limited sample size.
Time Frame
After randomization and through week 72
Other Pre-specified Outcome Measures:
Title
LPV Cmax and Cmin in Participants Enrolled in Arms A, B, and C
Description
Describe LPV plasma pharmacokinetic (PK) characteristics (maximum concentration [Cmax] and minimum concentration [Cmin]) in participants enrolled in Arms A, B, and C, determined by non-compartmental analysis of 12-hour PK sampling. The pre-dose concentration was determined using a sample drawn 12 hours after the previous LPV dose and was used as the 12-hour LPV concentration. As stated in the Detailed Study Description of the Protocol Section, formal statistical comparisons were not undertaken because of limited sample size.
Time Frame
At 2 weeks: pre-dose and at 2, 4, 5, and 6 hours post-dose
Title
LPV AUC in Participants Enrolled in Arms A, B, and C
Description
Describe LPV plasma PK characteristics (area under the curve [AUC] between 0 and 12 hours) in participants enrolled in Arms A, B, and C, determined by non-compartmental analysis of 12-hour PK sampling. The pre-dose concentration was determined using a sample drawn 12 hours after the previous LPV dose and was used as the 12-hour LPV concentration. As stated in the Detailed Study Description of the Protocol Section, formal statistical comparisons were not undertaken because of limited sample size.
Time Frame
At 2 weeks: pre-dose and at 2, 4, 5, and 6 hours post-dose
Title
RBT Cmax and Cmin in Participants Enrolled in Arms A and C
Description
Describe RBT plasma PK characteristics (Cmax and Cmin) in participants enrolled in Arms A and C, determined by non-compartmental analysis of 24-hour PK sampling. The pre-dose concentration was determined using a sample drawn 24 hours after the previous RBT dose. As stated in the Detailed Study Description of the Protocol Section, formal statistical comparisons were not undertaken because of limited sample size.
Time Frame
At 2 weeks: pre-dose and at 2, 4, 5, 6, and 24 hours post-dose
Title
RBT AUC in Participants Enrolled in Arms A and C
Description
Describe RBT plasma PK characteristics (area under the curve [AUC] between 0 and 24 hours) in participants enrolled in Arms A and C, determined by non-compartmental analysis of 24-hour PK sampling. The pre-dose concentration was determined using a sample drawn 24 hours after the previous RBT dose. As stated in the Detailed Study Description of the Protocol Section, formal statistical comparisons were not undertaken because of limited sample size.
Time Frame
At 2 weeks: pre-dose and at 2, 4, 5, 6, and 24 hours post-dose
Title
RAL Cmax and Cmin in Participants Enrolled in Arm C
Description
Describe RAL plasma PK characteristics (Cmax and Cmin) in participants enrolled in Arm C, determined by non-compartmental analysis of 24-hour PK sampling. The pre-dose concentration was determined using a sample drawn 12 hours after the previous RAL dose and was used as the 12-hour RAL concentration.
Time Frame
At 2 weeks: pre-dose and at 2, 4, 5, 6, and 24 hours post-dose
Title
RAL AUC in Participants Enrolled in Arm C
Description
Describe RAL plasma PK characteristics (area under the curve [AUC] between 0 and 24 hours) in participants enrolled in Arm C, determined by non-compartmental analysis of 24-hour PK sampling. The pre-dose concentration was determined using a sample drawn 12 hours after the previous RAL dose and was used as the 12-hour RAL concentration.
Time Frame
At 2 weeks: pre-dose and at 2, 4, 5, 6, and 24 hours post-dose
