Protecting Households On Exposure to Newly Diagnosed Index Multidrug-Resistant Tuberculosis Patients (PHOENIx MDR-TB)

Protecting Households On Exposure to Newly Diagnosed Index Multidrug-Resistant Tuberculosis Patients (PHOENIx MDR-TB)

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of 26 weeks of delamanid (DLM) versus 26 weeks of isoniazid (INH) for preventing confirmed or probable active tuberculosis (TB) during 96 weeks of follow-up among high-risk household contacts (HHCs) of adults with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) (index cases). High-risk HHCs are those with HIV or non-HIV immunosuppression, latent TB infection, and young children below the age of 5 years.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

This study will compare the efficacy and safety of 26 weeks of delamanid (DLM) versus 26 weeks of isoniazid (INH) for preventing confirmed or probable active tuberculosis (TB) during 96 weeks of follow-up among high-risk household contacts (HHCs) of adults with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) (index cases). High-risk HHCs are those with HIV or non-HIV immunosuppression, latent TB infection, and young children below the age of 5 years.

If at least one HHC within a household (HH) is found to be eligible, the HH will be randomized to one of the following:

Arm A: DLM daily for adults, adolescents, and children, given for 26 weeks.

Arm B: INH daily for adults, adolescents, and children, given for 26 weeks AND pyridoxine (vitamin B6) daily for adults, adolescents, and children, given for 26 weeks.

All high-risk HHCs in the same HH will receive the same randomized regimen.

All participants will be in the study for 96 weeks. At study entry, index cases will undergo a medical history review and sputum collection. HHCs will have study visits at study entry and at Weeks 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 26, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, and 96. Visits may include physical examinations; blood, urine, and sputum collection; electrocardiograms (ECGs); and questionnaires and assessments. Forty HHCs under the age of 5 taking DLM will undergo an intensive PK visit at Week 8.

    • adequate source documentation (including date of testing, test methodology, and test results) of RIF and INH resistance from a licensed/nationally approved* referral program, OR
    • if either or both results are unknown or not adequately documented (as noted above), then confirmation must be obtained using a DAIDS-approved laboratory that operates according to Good Clinical Laboratory Practices (GCLP) guidelines and participates in an appropriate external quality assurance (EQA) program.
    • *NOTE: The term "licensed/nationally approved" refers to a laboratory that has been certified or licensed by an oversight body within that country and approved for RIF and/or INH resistance testing.
    • NOTE: Pre-XDR and XDR TB are not exclusionary. See the A5300B/I2003B/PHOENIx MOPS for study-approved molecular and phenotypic methods.
  • Started MDR-TB treatment within the past 90 days.
  • Ability and willingness of the index case to provide informed consent to access the HH and approach HH members for evaluation.
  • HH of index case has at least one reported HHC.

HOUSEHOLD CONTACTS

If any member(s) of the HH is/are not eligible or do not want to participate, all other eligible TB contacts within the HH can still participate.

  • Currently lives or lived in the same dwelling unit or plot of land and shares or has shared the same housekeeping arrangements as the index case and who reports exposure within 90 days prior to the index case starting MDR-TB treatment. Also, shared greater than 4 hours of indoor airspace with the index case during any one-week period prior to the index case starting MDR-TB treatment.
  • HHCs must be in one of the following high-risk groups:

    • All children 0 to less than 5 years old at the time of enrollment, regardless of LTBI or HIV status;
    • Adults, adolescents, and children greater than or equal to 5 years of age who are LTBI test positive (either TST-positive (greater than or equal to 5 mm) or IGRA-positive), and whose HIV status is negative, indeterminate, or unknown, and who are not non-HIV immunosuppressed;
    • NOTE: Both TST and IGRA testing are required for screening unless TST testing is not available due to global shortages or in-country supply challenges, but only one positive test is required for eligibility.
    • Adults, adolescents, and children greater than or equal to 5 years of age who are HIV-infected or are non-HIV immunosuppressed (defined as receiving anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) treatment, or being solid organ or hematologic transplant recipients), regardless of LTBI test status.
  • HIV-1 infection status must be documented as positive, negative, indeterminate or unknown for all HHCs. Unknown status includes those who previously tested HIV negative but the test was performed more than one year ago. HIV testing will be offered to all HHCs with negative of unknown status. For adults (18 years and older), HIV-1 infection must be documented by any licensed rapid HIV test or HIV enzyme or chemiluminescence immunoassay (E/CIA) test kit at any time prior to study entry and confirmed by a licensed Western blot or a second antibody test by a method other than the initial rapid HIV and/or E/CIA, or by HIV-1 antigen or plasma HIV-1 RNA viral load greater than 1000 copies/mL.

  • Allocation: Randomized
  • Interventional Model: Parallel Assignment
  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Arm A: Delamanid (DLM)
HHCs will receive delamanid (DLM) for 26 weeks.

Adults and children ≥30 kg: delamanid 200 mg orally once daily.

Children ≥2.5 kg to <30 kg: weight-band dosing orally once daily as per the study protocol. As children gain weight, their DLM dose should be adjusted, typically every month or as the visit schedule permits.

Experimental: Arm B: Isoniazid (INH)
HHCs will receive isoniazid (INH) and pyridoxine (vitamin B6) for 26 weeks.

Adults and children ≥24 kg: INH 300 mg orally once daily.

Children ≥2.5 kg to <24 kg: INH weight-band dosing orally once daily as per the study protocol. As children gain weight, their INH dose should be adjusted.

All HHCs in Arm B must receive pyridoxine (vitamin B6) with each dose of INH based on the current local dosing guidelines. For children up to 3 years of age and nursing women, pyridoxine will be given as per local standard of care. Pyridoxine is not supplied through the study.
