About this trial

The goal of this observational study is to investigate whether model-informed precision dosing (MIPD), as a clinical support for early individualised dosing in addition to the national TB care program, can optimise the drug exposure of TB drugs during TB treatment.

Main research questions:

In adult patients with drug-susceptible pulmonary tuberculosis, can current dose recommendations and information received from MIPD help clinicians in a timely manner to optimise the drug exposure of TB drugs in the early treatment phase, i.e., the time from PK sampling to dose adjustment (keep or adjust dose)?

Specific aims

I. To perform a process evaluation of early MIPD for rifampicin, isoniazid, pyrazinamide and ethambutol during active TB treatment.

II. To study the target attainment of first-line TB drugs with MIPD.

III. To evaluate model precision of predicted versus detected drug concentrations.

Drug concentrations will be measured in study participants during TB treatment, and drug exposure and the optimal dose will be predicted by MIPD using pharmacokinetic population models.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Adult persons ≥18 years with confirmed pulmonary TB (established through Mtb cultures or PCR for Mtb by clinical routine)

Ongoing or planned treatment of TB that includes rifampin

Written informed consent

Disqualifiers

TB treatment with rifampin for longer than 8 weeks prior to inclusion

TB treatment with intravenous rifampin (including patients treated at an intensive care unit (ICU) or patients with cerebral TB)

TDM of rifampin has already been performed (>24 h before inclusion) by clinical routine

Study participants with extrapulmonary TB without pulmonary TB.

Trial population

The inclusion of study participants will be done prospectively at two hospitals included in the study sites (Karolinska University Hospital and Region Östergötland). Only patients with pulmonary TB will be included as the MIPD models have been developed using data sets of pulmonary TB and not for extrapulmonary TB. Participants who are unable to give an informed consent (e.g. persons with severe dementia) will not be included. The investigators will include at least 30 participants. Blood samples for drug concentration analysis will be performed 2+4 hours postdose at 2 -3 occasions during the study period and measure by a validated HPLC method at Clinical Pharmacology Laboratories in the regions.
