New Combination NCT01589497 ↗ Essentiality of INH in TB Therapy Completed National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Phase 2 2015-06-30 Tuberculosis (TB) disease is caused by bacteria that have infected the lung. TB bacteria are very small living agents that are spread by coughing and can be killed by taking TB drugs. To kill these TB bacteria TB patients have to take a combination of four drugs for 2 months and then two drugs for a further 4 months. During the first 2 months patients take rifampicin, isoniazid, ethambutol, and pyrazinamide. After that patients take only isoniazid and rifampicin for a further 4 months, making a total of 6 months therapy. In A5307 the investigators wanted to test a new combination of drugs to see if the investigators could treat TB faster in the future. Studies in animals have suggested that one of the four drugs, isoniazid, only works for a few days and may not be needed after the first two doses of TB treatment to kill the TB bacteria. After that its effects wear off to the point that it may even interfere with the other drugs. The investigators wanted to see if stopping isoniazid early, or using moxifloxacin, a different drug, instead could treat TB faster. This study was the first time that this type of regimen without isoniazid had been tested in humans. If the investigators could show that isoniazid stops working after a few days, the investigators could then try to see if they could possibly make a better tuberculosis treatment in the future.

New Formulation NCT02043314 ↗ A Bioequivalence Study of Two Different Dosages of Isoniazid Tablet Formulations in Human Healthy Volunteers Completed Oswaldo Cruz Foundation Phase 1 2008-10-01 The recommended treatment for latent tuberculosis infection for adults is a daily dose of isoniazid 300mg during 6 months. In Brazil, isoniazid was formulated as 100 mg tables. The treatment duration and the high pill burden compromised patient adherence to the treatment. The Brazilian National Programme for Tuberculosis requested the development of a new 300mg isoniazid formulation. The aim of the study is to compare the bioavailability of the isoniazid 300mg new formulation and three 100mg tablets of the reference formulation. The study is a randomized, single dose, open label, fasting, two-phase crossover bioequivalence study with a wash out period of 7 days (>7 half-life) in 28 healthy human volunteers. For the determination of isoniazid in human plasma, the investigators developed and validated a sensitive, simple and rapid HPLC-MS/MS method. This will support the strategy adopted by the Brazilian National Program for Tuberculosis for the treatment of latent tuberculosis. The new formulation will increase patients' adherence to the treatment and quality of life. Medical doctors in Brazil should become aware of the new formulation and the new treatment strategy in order to prescribe the right medication and avoid errors that could result in a high frequency of adverse events. Future research studies should evaluate pharmacovigilance, acceptability of the new tablet formulation and its impact on the cure rate.

NCT00000636 ↗ Prophylaxis Against Tuberculosis (TB) in Patients With Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Infection and Confirmed Latent Tuberculous Infection Completed National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) N/A 1969-12-31 To evaluate and compare the effectiveness of a 2-month regimen of rifampin and pyrazinamide versus a 1-year course of isoniazid (INH) to prevent the development of tuberculosis in patients who are coinfected with HIV and latent Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTb). Current guidelines recommend 6 to 12 months of treatment with INH for purified protein derivative (PPD)-positive individuals. Problems with this treatment include compliance, adverse reaction, and the possibility of not preventing disease due to INH-resistant organisms. Studies suggest that two or three months of rifampin and pyrazinamide may be more effective than longer courses of INH. A two-month prevention course should help to increase compliance. In addition, the use of two drugs (rifampin and pyrazinamide) may help overcome problems with drug resistance.
NCT00000638 ↗ Preventive Treatment Against Tuberculosis (TB) in Patients With Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Infection and Confirmed Latent Tuberculous Infection Completed Hoechst Marion Roussel N/A 1969-12-31 To evaluate and compare the safety and effectiveness of a one-year course of isoniazid (INH) versus a two-month course of rifampin plus pyrazinamide for the prevention of reactivation tuberculosis in individuals infected with both HIV and latent (inactive) Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Current guidelines from the American Thoracic Society and the Centers for Disease Control recommend 6 to 12 months of INH for PPD (purified protein derivative)-positive individuals. Although the effectiveness of this treatment is not known for HIV-infected individuals, several studies using INH to prevent tuberculosis in presumably normal hosts have shown 60 to 80 percent effectiveness. Problems with this treatment include compliance, adverse reaction, and the possibility of not preventing disease due to tuberculosis organisms being resistant to INH. A two-month preventive treatment plan should help in increasing compliance. In addition, the use of two drugs (rifampin / pyrazinamide) may help overcome problems with drug resistance. If this study shows equal or greater effectiveness of the two-month rifampin / pyrazinamide treatment, it could alter the approach to tuberculosis prevention for both HIV-positive and HIV-negative individuals.

Clinical Trials, Market Analysis, and Projections for Isoniazid

Introduction to Isoniazid

Isoniazid is a first-line antitubercular agent used in the treatment and prevention of tuberculosis (TB). It has been a cornerstone in TB therapy for decades, but its effectiveness and safety are continually being evaluated through clinical trials and market analyses.

Clinical Trials Update

Early Bactericidal Activity of High-Dose Isoniazid

A recent phase IIa clinical trial (A5312) investigated the early bactericidal activity (EBA) of high-dose isoniazid in patients with tuberculosis caused by katG-mutated Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb), which typically confers high-level resistance to isoniazid. The trial randomized participants to receive either 15 or 20 mg/kg of isoniazid daily for 7 days. The results showed negligible bactericidal activity of high-dose isoniazid in the majority of participants, except for a subset of slow NAT2 acetylators who experienced higher concentrations of the drug. This study highlights the limited efficacy of high-dose isoniazid against katG-mutated M.tb[1].

Short-Course Treatment Regimens

Another significant clinical study compared the effectiveness of short-course treatment regimens involving isoniazid and rifampin to the traditional 9-month course of isoniazid monotherapy for the treatment of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI). The study found that short-course treatment with isoniazid and rifampin for 3-4 months was safe and superior to the 9-month isoniazid monotherapy in terms of compliance and outcomes. No patients developed clinical disease during the follow-up period, and serious drug-related adverse effects were not detected[3].

Adverse Events in Routine Settings

A pragmatic implementation trial in Uganda assessed the incidence and management of adverse events (AEs) associated with the 12-week isoniazid and rifapentine (3HP) regimen for TB prevention. The study found that while the 3HP regimen was generally safe and well-tolerated, real-world data on AEs were crucial for health systems to anticipate resource needs for AE management. The trial emphasized the importance of monitoring AEs in routine care settings to ensure the successful scale-up of TB preventive treatment programs[4].
