2 Multi-drug Resistant TB MDR 3 MDR TB is a manmade problem.. It is costly, deadly, debilitating, and the biggest threat to our current TB control strategies. 2

3 Drug-Resistant TB Primary Resistance Secondary Resistance Caused by person-to-person transmission of drug-resistant organisms Develops during TB treatment: Patient was not given appropriate treatment regimen OR Patient did not follow treatment regimen as prescribed 6 3

4 Drug Resistant TB Multi-drug resistant TB (MDR) Resistant to INH AND Rifampin Pre-XDR TB Resistant to INH and Rifampin AND EITHER Resistance to any fluroquinolone OR Resistant to one of the 2nd line injectables 7 Extensively Drug Resistant (XDR) TB 8 4

15 What Situations Contribute to Drug Resistant TB? Individual level Treatment errors Missed opportunities for treatment of contacts Public health policy TB in immigrants, refugees, foreign born visitors and students Poor infection control (especially developing countries) Lack of policies to deal with untreatable patients Causes of Inadequate TB Treatment WHO 2006 Drug Resistant TB 15

16 Who is at risk for MDR TB? Foreign-born HIV+/IVDU History of previous TB treatment History of exposure to MDR-TB case TB treatment failures or interruptions 31 Diagnosis of MDR TB 32 16

17 Role of the Laboratory Detect drug resistance to enable clinician to design effective multidrug regimen Initial M. tuberculosis isolate tested against primary drugs INH, RIF, PZA, EMB For Rif-R isolates, test secondary drugs as needed 33 FQ, AMI, KAN, CAP Reasons for Discordant DST Results Differential growth kinetics Different inoculation methods Different methods or media Cross-contamination Transcription, labeling li errors Problem strains and drugs 34 17

18 Difficult Strains Strains sent to >100 laboratories for analysis Resistant t Strains Agree Disagree Rifampin (n=19) 16 3 Isoniazid (n=40) Strain INH-R RIF-R 1 31/88 (35%) 106/ /112 74/117 (62%) *CDC unpublished data. J. Ridderhof, P. Angra 35 Drug Susceptibility Testing Every confirmed case gets susceptibility testing Tests should be repeated if: Patient has positive culture after 3 Drug susceptibility testing on solid media months of treatment OR Patient does not get better 36 18

19 Treatment and Management 37 Principles of Drug Resistant Tuberculosis Standard of care always exclude active tuberculosis before treating LTBI Avoid use of a single TB drug Standard of care start with 4 drugs INH resistance common ~ 7 8% PZA does not protect rifampin Ethambutol will protect rifampin if INH resistance 19

20 Why is MDR so challenging? Treatment of case Less effective, toxicity and side effects <80% cure Higher relapse rates (30 40%) Unclear prophylaxis for contacts Prolonged infectiousness Costly 39 Principles INH resistant treatment Active cases Rifampin, EMB, PZA Low level INH resistant can be given INH No data on clinical significance 6 9 months Add fluroquinolone if extensive disease or immunosuppression Contacts: Rifampin 40 20

21 Principles of Rifampin resistant treatment Rifmapin most important drug in regimen Poor outcomes Need as much attention as MDR cases Treatment options INH, EMB, PZA, Levofloxacin x 12 months; +/- Injectable x 2 months At least months 41 Protecting Rifampin Rifampin single most important TB drug If INH resistant, EMB will protect Rifampin PZA Not active in cavities and rapidly growing lesions Does not protect Rifampin Prevent relapse Shortens therapy duration Mostly for dormant bugs 42 21

22 MDR TB drug options Injectables Streptomycin Amikacin Kanamycin Capreomycin Fluoroquinolones Levofloxacin Moxifloxacin Oral meds PAS Cycloserine Ethionamide Third line Linezolid Imipenem Agumentin Macrolides 43 Principles for MDR treatment Seek consultation with MDR-TB expert Use at least 3 previously unused drugs Proven or suspected to be sensitive to Any first lines with proven susceptibility 44 22

23 Principles for MDR treatment Initially, one drug should be bactericidal injectable Continue injectable 6-12 months after culture conversion Duration: months after conversion of culture Monitor closely for side effects (of which there are many) 45 Principles for MDR treatment NEVER add a single drug to a failing regimen If culture still positive, add 2 more drugs Daily DOT REQUIRED throughout entire treatment course 46 23

24 Building a MDR treatment regimen Step 1 Begin with first-line agents to which isolate susceptible ADD Fluoroquinolone AND Use any One of One of available PLUS these PLUS these First-line drugs Fluoroquinolones Injectable agents Amikacin Pyrazinamide Gatifloxacin Capreomycin Ethambutol Levofloxacin Streptomycin Moxifloxacin Kanamycin Injectable based on susceptibilities Principals of Treatment and Management of MDR TB Levofloxin or Moxifloxin Both highly hl bactericidal id Both well absorbed Avoid calcium and magnesium containing antacids and supplements, multivitamins, iron, enteral supplements, sucralfate Good penetration to all tissue sites No need to decrease dose of moxifloxin in renal insufficiency 24

25 Principals of Treatment and Management of MDR TB Which fluoroquinolone? Levofloxin: 750mg/day Extensive experience with long term use and pushing drug levels to mg/day Peak level at 12 Moxifloxin: 400mg/day Early bactericidal activity rivals rifampin, potentially greater than levofloxin Peak level at 4 Prolonged half life Principals of Treatment and Management of MDR TB Which injectable? All are bactericidal Streptomycin: document susceptibility, more auditory toxicity, less renal Amikacin: easy to get drug levels Capreomycin: smaller volume if IM injection planned Toxicity depends on total dose 15mg/kg 5 x/week first 4-6 months 15mg/kg 3 x/week next 6 8 months Attempt to reach peak serum level of 25 Dual injectable therapy? (Capreomycin and Amikacin) When extensive drug resistance and extensive disease 25

26 Building a MDR Treatment Regimen Step 2 Add second-line drugs until you have 4-6 drugs the isolate is susceptible to (and preferably which have not been used to treat the patient previously) Pick one or more of these Oral second-line drugs Cycloserine Ethionamide PAS Building a MDR Treatment Regimen Step 3 If there are not 4-6 drugs available in the above categories, consider thirdline drugs in consultation with an MDR-TB expert Consider use of these Clofazimine Linezolid Amoxicillin/ clavulanate Third-line drugs Imipenem Macrolides High-dose Isoniazid 26

27 When to start treatment? Wait to identify enough drugs to constitute an appropriate regimen VS Empirically start enough drugs to cover for unsuspected additional resistance 53 When to start treatment? Consider how sick patient is HIV positive patients should be started on treatment immediately Are others still exposed? At all costs avoid creating a more resistant bug 54 27

28 Ensure Toxicity Monitoring Ethionamide and PAS TSH (baseline, Q 2-3 monthly); monthly LFTs Severe nausea and vomiting Better tolerated if slowly ramped up May require premed with anti-emetic Non-caffeinated carbonated beverage and soda crackers may help PAS check serum electrolytes and CBC must give Paser granules with acidic food/drink Ensure Toxicity Monitoring Fluoroquinolones (levofloxacin, moxifloxacin) No specific laboratory tests Monitor for signs of acute tendon rupture QT prolongation can occur; consider obtaining baseline EKG Linezolid CBC (weekly initially then monthly if stable) Monitor for c/o optic and/or peripheral neuropathy 28

29 Ensure Toxicity Monitoring Aminoglycosides and polypeptides Monthly assess: Hearing (Audiogram) Vestibular function (Rhomberg, past-to-point) Serum electrolytes (including Ca+ and Mg++) Serum creatinine Cycloserine Weekly depression monitoring Serum drug level to ensure within therapeutic range Monitor Clinical Response Bacteriology 3 sputa prior to treatment initiation Weekly sputum until smear negative Monthly throughout treatment; at Rx completion TB Symptoms Weekly, noting improvements/worsening of symptoms (cough, weight, fever, etc.) Radiology Every 3 6 months throughout treatment and at completion of treatment 29

33 Fighting TB and HIV We can t fight AIDS unless we do much more to fight TB. Nelson Mandela, International AIDS Conference, Thailand 14 July, Nelson Mandela at 2004 International AIDS Conference Image source: BBC News Online ( Extensively Drug Resistant (XDR) TB Recent Outbreak in Kwazulu Natal, SA 1500 patients evaluated 544 (35%) with TB 995 (65%) without TB 221(41%) MDRTB 323 (59%) Susceptible * Moll A et al, (10%) XDRTB 52 died, All HIV+ died Time to death=16 d 33

34 Factors associated with good treatment outcomes HIV negative Younger age No cavitary lesions Sensitivity to ofloxacin No prior therapy with ofloxacin Few resistant drugs Appropriate therapy Primary disease? Surgery Culture conversion by 3 months 67 Contacts 68 34

35 Management of Contacts End of infectious period when CULTURE negative Few guidelines for contacts of MDR CDC contact guidelines:..estimating risk after exposure to a person with pulmonary TB without lung cavities includes a cut-off of 120 hours of exposure per month This is for non-cavitary disease No recommendations or guidelines for cavitary disease 69 Treatment of MDR Contacts Sparse data on treatment regimens Choose 2 drugs source case is sensitive to Treat for 6 months or observe without treatment HIV and immunocompromised should be strongly gyencouraged to take treatment HIV patients should be treated for 12 months Follow for 2 years with CXR and clinical evaluation 70 35

36 Treatment Outcomes of MDR Contacts Schaaf et al followed 119 children who were contacts to active cases of MDR TB. Sixty-one children were infected (51%) and 14 (12%) had active disease. Two (5%) of 41 children who received preventive therapy developed TB, compared to 13 (20%) who did not (OR 4.97). Schaaf et al. Pediatrics : Treatment Outcomes of MDR Contacts Conover study, during two years of follow-up no further cases of MDR-TB were identified. Preventive regimens were determined by the treating physician and were typically a combination of two of the following EMB PZA Ofloxacin All medications were given by DOT. Conover et al IJTLD 5(1):
