Study summary

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK), tolerability, and safety of once-weekly doses of rifapentine (RPT) and isoniazid (INH) in HIV-1-infected and HIV-1-uninfected pregnant and postpartum women with latent tuberculosis (TB).

Read the detailed description

TB is a major cause of illness and death in women of reproductive age. Pregnant and postpartum women with latent TB are at higher risk of developing active TB. This study evaluated the pharmacokinetics, tolerability, and safety of 12 once-weekly doses of RPT and INH in HIV-1-infected and HIV-1-uninfected pregnant and postpartum women with latent TB.

This study enrolled HIV-1-infected and HIV-1-uninfected pregnant women with latent TB and their infants into two cohorts based on gestation. Cohort 1 participants were enrolled in their second trimester (greater than or equal to 14 to less than 28 weeks), and Cohort 2 participants were enrolled in their third trimester (greater than or equal to 28 to less than or equal to 34 weeks). All participants received 12 directly observed once-weekly doses of RPT, INH, and pyridoxine (vitamin B6) at study entry and at 11 weekly follow-up visits. Study researchers would perform an interim analysis to assess the PK of RPT during the study, and a dose adjustment could have been recommended based on this analysis.

Study visits occurred at days 0-3, once a week through week 11, and once a month until 24 weeks after delivery. Visits would include physical examinations, obstetrical exams, and blood collection. Infants were followed monthly until 24 weeks after birth.

Inclusion criteria

  • Age greater than or equal to 18 years, or minimum age of consent according to locally applicable laws or regulations at screening, verified per site standard operating procedures (SOPs); and able and willing to provide written informed consent for study at screening
  • At screening, evidence by ultrasound of a viable singleton pregnancy with an estimated gestational age at enrollment of greater than or equal to 14 weeks through less than or equal to 34 weeks as per screening ultrasound (see protocol for more information)
  • Had at least one of the following risk factors for TB:

    • Per participant report, the participant was a household contact (see NOTE below) of a known active pulmonary TB patient
    • Per medical records, confirmation of HIV-1 infection (see protocol for more information) and a single positive tuberculin skin test (TST) or interferon gamma release assay (IGRA) at any time in the past. If not available in medical record, perform at screening.

NOTE: A household contact was defined as a person who currently lives or lived in the same dwelling unit and shares or shared the same housekeeping arrangements and who reported exposure within the past two years to an adult index case with pulmonary TB. Shared housekeeping arrangements were defined as sleeping under the same roof as the index TB case for at least seven consecutive days during the one month prior to the index case TB diagnosis.

Confirmation of HIV-1 infection was defined as positive results from two samples (described in the protocol) collected at different time points. All samples tested must be whole blood, serum, or plasma. As this study was being conducted under an IND, all test methods should be FDA-approved, if available. If FDA-approved methods were not available, test methods should be verified according to Good Clinical Laboratory Practice (GCLP) and approved by the IMPAACT Laboratory Center. More information on this criterion was available in the protocol.
  • If HIV-1-infected, documented current prescription of efavirenz (EFV) + 2 nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) regimen and reported taking regimen for at least two weeks prior to enrollment (regimens containing protease, integrase, or entry inhibitors were not permitted)
