Feasibility of Centralized Therapeutic Drug Monitoring of Fluoroquinolones in Multi-Drug Resistant Tuberculosis Patients (PERFECT)

October 8, 2019 updated by: Jan-Willem C Alffenaar, University Medical Center Groningen

Prospective Evaluation of impRoving Fluoroquinolone Exposure Using Centralized Tdm in TB Patients

Observational, multi-centre, prospective study to investigate the feasibility of centralized TDM of moxifloxacin and levofloxacin in MDR-TB patients by determining turn-around time between sampling and receiving dosing advice.

In addition, the effect of TDM will be evaluated by comparing treatment results of prospective patients receiving TDM with historical controls without TDM.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
Moxifloxacin, prospective
Prospective included patients (n=60) receiving centralized therapeutic drug monitoring of moxifloxacin.
Plasma samples will be drawn at peripheral centres en shipped to a central laboratory for analysis. Results and dosing advice will be returned by email to local physician.
Levofloxacin, prospective
Prospective included patients (n=60) receiving centralized therapeutic drug monitoring of levofloxacin
Plasma samples will be drawn at peripheral centres en shipped to a central laboratory for analysis. Results and dosing advice will be returned by email to local physician.
Moxifloxacin, historical controls
Historical controls (n=120) matched to prospective patients, did not receive centralized therapeutic drug monitoring of moxifloxacin.
Levofloxacin, historical controls
Historical controls (n=120) matched to prospective patients, did not receive centralized therapeutic drug monitoring of levofloxacin.
