RIFAQUIN trial (INTERTB - St George s University Medical School-London-UK): 2008-2012 Phase 3, complex design, open-label, randomized and active-controlled To compare 2 strategies using combination of RPT & Moxi for Either reducing the lenght of treatment course Or reducing the total number of drug doses 3 arms : DOT control Regimen 1 2HRZE 2MRZE 2 4HR RPT 900mg + Moxi 400 mg x2/wk Regimen 2 2MRZE 4 RPT 1200mg + Moxi 400 mg once a wk Participating countries: RSA, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Botswana Non-inferiority design (NI margin : 6%) 11

RIFAQUIN trial : conclusion The 6-month regimen with once-weekly 1200mg rifapentine and moxifloxacin in the continuation phase was non-inferior to control, even at the 2.5% level, also safe and well tolerated. The 4-month regimen with twice-weekly 900mg rifapentine and moxifloxacin was safe and well tolerated but significantly inferior to control in terms of efficacy. The benefit seen in the moxifloxacin arms in culture status at 2 months was marginal confirming previous studies Analysis ongoing (genotype and MIRU) : No increase risk of acquired RIF resistance in relapses apparently 14

Rifapentine in active TB : towards an ultra-short course regimen- TBTC S31 Pivotal study Hypothesis: A 4 (3) month rifapentine-based (high dose) treatment regimen is not inferior to the 6-month rifampin-based standard treatment regimen Target Profile: Rifapentine-based regimen, in combination with companion drugs As part an ultra-short course regimen : 3 or 4 months targeted For drug-susceptible pulmonary TB Cavitary & non-cavitary diseases For non-hiv and HIV populations For adult and pediatric populations Also: extrapulmonary TB and other populations at risk 19 TB Annual F2F Meeting Toulouse March 2011
