Clofazimine- and Rifapentine-Containing Treatment Shortening Regimens in Drug-Susceptible Tuberculosis: The CLO-FAST Study
A Phase IIc Trial of Clofazimine- and Rifapentine-Containing Treatment Shortening Regimens in Drug-Susceptible Tuberculosis: The CLO-FAST Study
Study Overview
Status
Conditions
Detailed Description
This study will compare a 3-month rifapentine (RPT)/clofazimine (CFZ)-containing regimen with CFZ loading dose versus 6-month standard of care (SOC) for drug-susceptible (DS) tuberculosis (TB).
Randomization will be stratified based on HIV status and the presence of advanced disease as determined by chest X-ray.
Participants will be randomized to one of three arms:
- Arm 1 (Experimental): rifapentine/isoniazid/pyrazinamide/ethambutol (PHZE) + CFZ 300 mg once daily for 2 weeks; then PHZE + CFZ 100 mg once daily for 6 weeks; then rifapentine/isoniazid/pyrazinamide (PHZ) + CFZ 100 mg once daily for 5 weeks
- Arm 2 (SOC): rifampicin/isoniazid/pyrazinamide/ethambutol (RHZE) for 8 weeks; then rifampicin/isoniazid (RH) for 18 weeks
- Arm C (Pharmacokinetic [PK]-only subgroup): PHZE + CFZ 100 mg once daily for 4 weeks; then remain on study, off study medications and treated according to SOC (RHZE for 4 weeks; then RH for 18 weeks)
All participants must receive pyridoxine (vitamin B6) with each dose of isoniazid (INH) based on current local, national or international dosing guidelines.
Arm 1 participants will be treated for 13 weeks (including a 2-week CFZ loading dose of 300 mg daily). Arm 2 participants will be treated for 26 weeks, and Arm C participants will be treated for 4 weeks.
All participants in Arms 1, 2, and C will be followed from randomization to Week 65. Study visits may include physical examinations; blood, urine, and/or sputum collection; chest X-rays; and electrocardiograms (ECG).

- At least one sputum specimen positive for M. tuberculosis by molecular TB assay (Xpert) or line probe assay [LPA]) OR
- At least one sputum specimen positive (1+ or greater) for acid-fast bacilli (AFB) on smear microscopy
- Note: TB diagnosis for purposes of meeting inclusion criterion can be from a study testing laboratory or from an outside laboratory, as long as it is from a sputum sample collected within 5 days prior to entry.

Female participants of reproductive potential must agree not to participate in the conception process (i.e., active attempt to become pregnant, in vitro fertilization), and if participating in sexual activity that could lead to pregnancy, must agree to use at least one reliable nonhormonal method of contraception, as listed below, while on study treatment and for 30 days after stopping study medications.
- Acceptable forms of contraception include:
- Condoms

- Current or history of known personal or family long QT syndrome.
- Known allergy/sensitivity or any hypersensitivity to components of study TB drugs or their formulation.
- Active drug, alcohol use or dependence; or mental illness (e.g., major depression) that, in the opinion of the site investigator, would interfere with adherence to study requirements.
- Known history of acute intermittent porphyria.
- Other medical conditions (e.g., severe uncontrolled diabetes, liver or kidney disease, blood disorders, peripheral neuritis, chronic diarrhea) in which the current clinical condition of the participant is likely to prejudice the response to, or assessment of, treatment.
