About this trial

This is an interventional other trial for HIV focused on measuring pharmacokinetics of rifabutin, HIV/TB co-infection, resource limited setting, AUC, Cmax, Cmin, Ctrough

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - 60 Years (Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Confirmed HIV positive after voluntary counseling and testing
  2. Aged >18-60years of age
  3. PI-naïve (NNRTI intolerance/failure) or PI experience ( TB developed during on salvage regimen) without prior PI mutation
  4. Any CD4 cell count
  5. ALT <5 times ULN
  6. Serum creatinine <1.4 mg/dl
  7. Hemaglobin >7 mg/L
  8. TB is diagnosed and planned to receive stable doses of rifabutin containing anti-TB therapy for at least another 4 week period after initiation of ART
  9. No other active OI (CDC class C event), except oral candidiasis or disseminated MAC
  10. Body weight >40kg
  11. Able to provide written informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Current use of steroid (except short course steroid for IRIS) and other immunosuppressive agents.
  2. Current use of any prohibited medications related to drug pharmacokinetics.
  3. Patients with current alcohol or illicit substance use that in the opinion of the site Principal Investigator would conflict with any aspect of the conduct of the trial.
  4. Unlikely to be able to remain in follow-up for the protocol defined period.
  5. Patients with proven or suspected acute hepatitis. Patients with chronic viral hepatitis are eligible provided ALT, AST < 5 x ULN.
  6. Karnofsky performance score <30%
  7. TB meningitis and bone/joints ( due to longer period of anti TB drug)
  8. Pregnancy
  9. Patient choose to use efavirenz, not LPV/r. However, in ART naïve, EFV is allowed after intensive PK of LPV/r and rifabutin at week 2-4.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
To describe the pharmacokinetics of rifabutin 150 mg once daily versus rifabutin 300 mg thrice weekly in combination with LPV/r 400/100mg based HAART in HIV/TB infected patients
Detailed Description
The overall aim of the project is to evaluate rifabutin as a replacement for rifampicin, for the combined treatment of tuberculosis and HIV infection. Rifabutin represents an alternative to rifampicin for HIV infected patients as its half-life is longer and the enzymatic induction effect appears to be less important on the associated ART drugs. This phase II trial is to determine precisely the pharmacokinetics parameters of rifabutin in combination with LPV/r regimens in Thai HIV/TB infected patients, in order to define optimal doses that will be further tested in a larger phase III trial comparing safety, tolerability and efficacy of rifabutin and rifampicin regimens.
