Pharmacometric Optimization of Second Line Drugs for MDR Tuberculosis Treatment (PODrtb)
Multidrug-resistant (MDR) tuberculosis (TB), defined as simultaneous resistance to isoniazid and rifampin, has been declared a global emergency. Treatment outcomes are poor, driven by toxicity and limited efficacy of the 2nd-line anti-TB drugs.
Although there is evidence that both anti-TB activity and most of the toxicity of the key drugs are related to drug exposure, the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) relationships in patients with MDR-TB are poorly characterized. Moreover potential synergy of drug combinations has not been identified in the context of MDR-TB, dosing has not taken into account the concentrations needed to suppress resistance, and the role of minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) in dosing is poorly studied.
There are therefore opportunities to optimize drug doses and combinations to improve efficacy, and reduce toxicity. Based on this observational study of patients on standard treatment for MDR-TB, our proposal builds on novel methodologies we have developed, largely for drug sensitive TB:
- The application of computational analytical techniques to tease out the individual contributions of anti-TB drugs used in combination
- The development of a treatment response biomarker model based on time-to-positivity in liquid culture of serial sputum samples.
- The in vitro determination of PK targets for anti-TB activity and the suppression of resistance using the hollow fiber models of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) (HFM-TB).
Thus the research will enhance our understanding of current modalities of TB treatment, while contributing research approaches for future regimen optimization.
This protocol describes the clinical research component (points 1&2).
Aim 1: To characterize the effects of 2nd-line drug exposures on treatment response in MDR-TB patients. The 2nd-line drugs to be examined are those comprising the standardized regimen used in South Africa: kanamycin, pyrazinamide, moxifloxacin, ethionamide and terizidone.
Hypothesis: Amongst patients on standard MDR-TB treatment, variation in drug exposure has a quantifiable impact on the rates at which viable Mtb are cleared from the sputum.
Aim 2: To identify drug exposures associated with the risk of treatment-related toxicities in patients on a standard 2nd-line regimen for MDR-TB.
Hypothesis: The risks of specific toxicities associated with kanamycin, pyrazinamide, moxifloxacin, ethionamide and terizidone are linked to drug concentrations.

Aim 1: To characterize the effects of 2nd-line drug exposures on treatment response in MDR-TB patients. The 2nd-line drugs to be examined are those comprising the standardized regimen used in South Africa: kanamycin, pyrazinamide, moxifloxacin, ethionamide and terizidone.
Hypothesis: Amongst patients on standard MDR-TB treatment, variation in drug exposure has a quantifiable impact on the rates at which viable Mtb are cleared from the sputum.
Rationale: There is substantial variability in the PK parameters of the 2nd-line drugs between patients, and in the susceptibility of individual Mtb isolates to those drugs. Concentration-dependent activity has been demonstrated for moxifloxacin, pyrazinamide and aminoglycosides, and higher doses of moxifloxacin and pyrazinamide have been proposed. Studies are needed to identify the most important determinants of treatment response and to describe the optimal drug exposures in MDR-TB, taking MICs into account. We will describe the exponential decline of viable Mtb in the sputum of MDR-TB patients in a treatment response model based on time-to-positivity in liquid culture, thus furthering the field of TB biomarker research. We will then define the relationship between PK and the rates of eradication of viable Mtb from the sputum of patients on the standard MDR-TB regimen to identify the more potent drugs driving treatment response, and to identify synergism or antagonism between individual drugs. Examples of specific questions that will be addressed include: What is the impact of pyrazinamide resistance on treatment response?; What is the impact of inhA mutations on the effect of ethionamide?; and, Should a higher doses of moxifloxacin and pyrazinamide be considered?
Aim 2: To identify drug exposures associated with the risk of treatment-related toxicities in patients on a standard 2nd-line regimen for MDR-TB.
Hypothesis: The risks of specific toxicities associated with kanamycin, pyrazinamide, moxifloxacin, ethionamide and terizidone are linked to drug concentrations.
Rationale: Treatment limiting adverse drug effects are common in patients on MDR-TB treatment regimens. Although several common toxicities are linked to specific drugs and are thought to be dose-related, the relationship between PK and toxicity has not been adequately studied. Overlapping toxicity of antiretroviral drugs in HIV-infected patients, amongst other risk factors, may be contributory. Minimum drug concentration thresholds associated with increased toxicity would allow optimization of doses by targeting concentrations below which toxicity is common, but above which there is optimal efficacy.
