June 2015

• Discuss the rationale for multiple drugs• Explain the rationale for intermittent therapy • Discuss the rationale for individual drugs in a

multi-drug regimen• Explain key pharmacologic features of

anti-TB drugs

Goals of TB Treatment

Eradication M. tuberculosis infection Prevention of the development of drug resistance Preventing relapse of disease Prevention of M. tuberculosis transmission

Combination therapy is required to achieve these objectivesDirectly observed therapy (DOT) is very important to facilitating adherence and preventing drug resistance

Blumberg et al. Am J Respir Crit Care Med 2003; 167:603.Hopewell PC et al. Lancet Infect Dis 2006; 6:710.WHO. Treatment of tuberculosis guidelines (4th edition).

Rationale for Multiple Drugs

Past observation of treatment failure with individual drugs due to rapid emergence of drug resistanceMutation rate to first line anti-TB drugs (10-7Mutation rate to first line anti TB drugs (10to 10-10)Likelihood of bacilli developing resistance to 2 or more anti-TB drugs is the product of the individual mutation rates

Gillespie et al. Antimicrob. Agents Chemother. 2002, 46(2):267.Zumla et al. N Engl J Med. 2013 Feb 21;368(8):745-55.

Four Drug Combination Rifampin (RIF, R) or Rifabutin Isoniazid (INH, H )Pyrazinamide (PZA, Z)Ethambutol (EMB, E)(The so-called “RIPE” regimen or HREZ)

Designed to prevent secondary development of resistance to RIF in populations with a high rate of primary resistance to INH (≥ 4%)

Initial Phase (2-month):Isoniazid + Rifampin + Pyrazinamide + Ethambutol○ EMB may be discontinued as soon as the results of drug

susceptibility testing confirm INH and RIF susceptibility

Pulmonary TB Disease Treatment Regimens

Continuation Phase (4-7 months):INH + RIF x 4 months (if isolate is fully susceptible) = total duration is 6 months

INH + RIF x 7 months (total 9 months) if:○ Patients with cavitary pulmonary disease with (+) sputum

culture after 2 months

○ If initial treatment did not include PZA

Directly Observed Therapy (DOT)Intermittent therapy facilitates DOTNonadherence to anti-TB regimen is the most common cause of …

Treatment failure RelapseRelapse Emergence of drug resistance

WHO ~ DOTS strategy results in a cure rate of > 80% and a default rate of < 10%

How can we give medications twice a week?

Some anti-TB drugs have a post-antibiotic Effect (PAE)A l d PAEA prolonged PAE may allow wider dosing intervals without the loss of therapeutic efficacy

Chan et al. Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 2001 Dec;45(12):3631-4Blumberg et al. Am J Respir Crit Care Med 2003; 167:603.

WHO. Treatment of tuberculosis guidelines (4th edition).

Post-Antibiotic Effect (PAE)PAEs allows for a drug concentration to fall below the MIC, yet continue to suppress mycobacterial growth

PAE for RIPE (RIF + INH + EMB + PZA) >120 hours

PAEs ~ RIF + INH contribute predominantly to the effects of anti-TB combinations

Maintaining continuous inhibitory drug concentrations is NOT necessary to kill or inhibit growth of M. tuberculosis

Chan et al. Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 2001 Dec;45(12):3631-4

Initial 4-drug regimens with 2-3 doses per week are effective (only given by DOT)O kl i i h

Intermittent Treatment – Who qualifies?

Once-weekly continuation phase:Used for HIV-negative patientsNon-cavitary drug-susceptible TBNot for children, pregnant women, extrapulmonary TB

Case A 44 year old homeless man is sent to the ER from his methadone clinic with fever and cough. He is HIV+ with a CD4 count of 200, not on Anitretroviral medications. He smokes 1 ppdcigarettes, does not drink, and has been on methadone maintenance for 5 years. He denies yother drug use.

His CXR shows a RUL infiltrate. AFB smear is positive. PPD is 12mm. He is admitted for treatment of pulmonary TB and started on RIPE. His methadone is continued.

Rifampin and opiates

Induction of P450 CYP3A4 by rifampin can decrease serum opiate levels by 30-65% and has been associated with appearance of withdrawal symptoms.

Patients on methadone will likely require increased doses while on rifampin. Once TB treatment completed will need close monitoring to avoid sedation or overdose.

Work with Pain management services as you titrate methadone…it also prolongs the Qtc
