Model-Based Efficacy and Toxicity Comparisons of Moxifloxacin for Multidrug-Resistant Tuberculosis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Moxifloxacin (MOX) is used as a first-choice drug to treat multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB); however, evidence-based dosing optimization should be strengthened by integrative analysis. The primary goal of this study was to evaluate MOX efficacy and toxicity using integrative model-based approaches in MDR-TB patients.

Methods

In total, 113 MDR-TB patients from 5 different clinical trials were analyzed for the development of a population pharmacokinetics (PK) model. A final population PK model was merged with a previously developed lung-lesion distribution and QT prolongation model. Monte Carlo simulation was used to calculate the probability target attainment value based on concentration. An area under the concentration-time curve (AUC)-based target was identified as the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of MOX isolated from MDR-TB patients.

Results

The presence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) increased clearance by 32.7% and decreased the AUC by 27.4%, compared with HIV-negative MDR-TB patients. A daily dose of 800 mg or a 400-mg, twice-daily dose of MOX is expected to be effective in MDR-TB patients with an MIC of ≤0.25 µg/mL, regardless of PK differences resulting from the presence of HIV. The effect of MOX in HIV-positive MDR-TB patients tended to be decreased dramatically from 0.5 µg/mL, in contrast to the findings in HIV-negative patients. A regimen of twice-daily doses of 400 mg should be considered safer than an 800-mg once-daily dosing regimen, because of the narrow fluctuation of concentrations.

Conclusions

Our results suggest that a 400-mg, twice-daily dose of MOX is an optimal dosing regimen for MDR-TB patients because it provides superior efficacy and safety.

Project description:BackgroundMoxifloxacin is currently recommended at a dose of 7.5-10 mg/kg for children with multidrug-resistant (MDR) tuberculosis, but pharmacokinetic and long-term safety data of moxifloxacin in children with tuberculosis are lacking. An area under the curve (AUC) of 40-60 µg × h/mL following an oral moxifloxacin dose of 400 mg has been reported in adults.MethodsIn a prospective pharmacokinetic and safety study, children 7-15 years of age routinely receiving moxifloxacin 10 mg/kg daily as part of multidrug treatment for MDR tuberculosis in Cape Town, South Africa, for at least 2 weeks, underwent intensive pharmacokinetic sampling (predose and 1, 2, 4, 8, and either 6 or 11 hours) and were followed for safety. Assays were performed using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, and pharmacokinetic measures calculated using noncompartmental analysis.ResultsTwenty-three children were included (median age, 11.1 years; interquartile range [IQR], 9.2-12.0 years); 6 of 23 (26.1%) were human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected. The median maximum serum concentration (Cmax), area under the curve from 0-8 hours (AUC0-8), time until Cmax (Tmax), and half-life for moxifloxacin were 3.08 (IQR, 2.85-3.82) µg/mL, 17.24 (IQR, 14.47-21.99) µg × h/mL, 2.0 (IQR, 1.0-8.0) h, and 4.14 (IQR, 3.45-6.11), respectively. Three children, all HIV-infected, were underweight for age. AUC0-8 was reduced by 6.85 µg × h/mL (95% confidence interval, -11.15 to -2.56) in HIV-infected children. Tmax was shorter with crushed vs whole tablets (P = .047). Except in 1 child with hepatotoxicity, all adverse effects were mild and nonpersistent. Mean corrected QT interval was 403 (standard deviation, 30) ms, and no prolongation >450 ms occurred.ConclusionsChildren 7-15 years of age receiving moxifloxacin 10 mg/kg/day as part of MDR tuberculosis treatment have low serum concentrations compared with adults receiving 400 mg moxifloxacin daily. Higher moxifloxacin dosages may be required in children. Moxifloxacin was well tolerated in children treated for MDR tuberculosis.

Project description:We designed this study to determine the trend of moxifloxacin resistance among multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) patients from 2007 to 2013 in China to inform the composition of multidrug-resistant/rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis (MDR/RR-TB) treatment regimens. We assessed moxifloxacin resistance among MDR-TB isolates collected in national drug resistance surveys in 2007 and 2013 that included 3,634 smear-positive and 7,206 culture-positive pulmonary tuberculosis patients, respectively. Moxifloxacin susceptibility was examined by a Mycobacterium growth indicator tube (MGIT) 960 for the 2007 isolates, and by the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) method for the 2013 isolates, at both breakpoints 0.5 and 2.0 μg/mL. Risk factors were explored through multivariable log-binominal regression analysis. Mutations in gyrA and gyrB for part of the isolates were also studied through sequencing. Of 401 MDR strains isolated in 2007, moxifiloxacin resistance could be determined for 319 (79.6%): 41 (12.9%) and 10 (3.1%) were resistant at 0.5 and 2.0 μg/mL, respectively. Of 365 MDR strains isolated in 2013, 338 (92.6%) could be analyzed: 140 (41.4%) and 79 (23.4%) were resistant at 0.5 and 2.0 μg/mL. For patients in 2007, no characteristics were significantly associated with moxifloxacin resistance. For patients in 2013, patients aged ≥60 years (adjusted prevalence ratio [aPR], 1.46; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.10 to 1.93) were more likely to have resistance at 0.5 μg/mL, whereas those residing in eastern China compared to those in central China had an increased risk of resistance at both 0.5 (aPR, 1.85; 95% CI, 1.38 to 2.48) and 2.0 μg/mL (aPR, 2.14; 95% CI, 1.35 to 3.40). Sequencing results were obtained for 245 and 266 MDR-TB isolates in 2007 and 2013, respectively. In total, 34 of 38 (89.5%) and 89 of 104 (85.6%) of 2007 and 2013 moxifloxacin-resistant (0.5 μg/mL) MDR-TB strains had mutations in the gyrA and gyrB gene, respectively. Asp94Gly was the most common mutation among 2007 (11 of 38, 28.9%) and 2013 isolates (24 of 104, 23.1%) and conferred high-level moxifloxacin resistance. Moxifloxacin resistance among MDR-TB patients in China increased from modest to high from 2007 to 2013. Moxifloxacin should be used carefully as a potentially effective drug for composing MDR/RR-TB regimens especially for elderly patients in China. Individual susceptibility testing especially rapid molecular-based assays should be conducted to confirm the susceptibility to moxifloxacin. IMPORTANCE China is one of the high-burden countries for multidrug-resistant/rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis (MDR/RR-TB). Moxifloxacin is one of the critical antituberculosis drugs for MDR/RR-TB treatment. Susceptibility to moxifloxacin is therefore very important to compose effective regimens and to provide protection against development of resistance of companion drugs such as bedaquiline and linezolid. There are, however, no nationally representative data on moxifloxacin resistance among MDR/RR-TB cases in China. Therefore, we assessed the resistance prevalence for moxifloxacin among MDR-TB strains isolated in national drug resistance surveys in 2007 and 2013 that covered 72 sites around the country. We demonstrate that the prevalence of moxifloxacin resistance in MDR-TB isolates increased from modest to high, which should prompt the national tuberculosis program to use moxifloxacin cautiously in second-line regimens to treat MDR/RR-TB unless susceptibility can be laboratory-confirmed.

Project description:Aims: Bedaquiline is now recommended to all patients in the treatment of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) using standard dosing regimens. As the ability to measure blood drug concentrations is very limited, little is known about drug exposure and treatment outcome. Thus, this study aimed to model the population pharmacokinetics as well as to evaluate the currently recommended dosage. Methodology: A bedaquiline population pharmacokinetic (PK) model was developed based on samples collected from the development cohort before and 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 18, and 24 h after drug intake on week 2 and week 4 of treatment. In a prospective validation cohort of patients with MDR-TB, treated with bedaquiline-containing standardized regimen, drug exposure was assessed using the developed population PK model and thresholds were identified by relating to 2-month and 6-month sputum culture conversion and final treatment outcome using classification and regression tree analysis. In an exploratory analysis by the probability of target attainment (PTA) analysis, we evaluated the recommended dosage at different MIC levels by Middlebrook 7H11 agar dilution (7H11). Results: Bedaquiline pharmacokinetic data from 55 patients with MDR-TB were best described by a three-compartment model with dual zero-order input. Body weight was a covariate of the clearance and the central volume of distribution, albumin was a covariate of the clearance. In the validation cohort, we enrolled 159 patients with MDR-TB. The 7H11 MIC mode (range) of bedaquiline was 0.06 mg (0.008-0.25 mg/L). The study participants with AUC0-24h/MIC above 175.5 had a higher probability of culture conversion after 2-month treatment (adjusted relative risk, aRR:16.4; 95%CI: 5.3-50.4). Similarly, those with AUC0-24h/MIC above 118.2 had a higher probability of culture conversion after 6-month treatment (aRR:20.1; 95%CI: 2.9-139.4), and those with AUC0-24h/MIC above 74.6 had a higher probability of successful treatment outcome (aRR:9.7; 95%CI: 1.5-64.8). Based on the identified thresholds, simulations showed that the WHO recommended dosage (400 mg once daily for 14 days followed by 200 mg thrice weekly) resulted in PTA >90% for the majority of isolates (94%; MICs ≤0.125 mg/L). Conclusion: We established a population PK model for bedaquiline in patients with MDR-TB in China. Based on the thresholds and MIC distribution derived in a clinical study, the recommended dosage of bedaquiline is sufficient for the treatment of MDR-TB.

Project description:BackgroundDrug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) remains a threat to public health. Shorter regimens have been proposed as potentially valuable treatments for multidrug or rifampicin resistant tuberculosis (MDR/RR-TB). We undertook a systematic review and network meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy and safety of shorter MDR/RR-TB regimens.MethodsWe searched PubMed/MEDLINE, Cochrane Center for Clinical Trials (CENTRAL), Scopus, ClinicalTrials.gov, WHO International Clinical Trials Registry Platform, US Food and Drug Administration, and Chinese Clinical Trial Registry for primary articles published from 2013 to July 2023. Favorable (cured and treatment completed) and unfavorable (treatment failure, death, loss to follow-up, and culture conversion) outcomes were assessed as the main efficacy outcomes, while adverse events were assessed as the safety outcomes. The network meta-analysis was performed using R Studio version 4.3.1 and the Netmeta package. The study protocol adhered to the PRISMA-NMA guidelines and was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42023434050).ResultWe included 11 eligible studies (4 randomized control trials and 7 cohorts) that enrolled 3,548 patients with MDR/RR-TB. Treatment with a 6-month combination of BdqLzdLfxZTrd/Eto/H had two times more favorable outcomes [RR 2.2 (95% CI 1.22, 4.13), P = 0.0094], followed by a 9-11 month combination of km/CmMfx/LfxPtoCfzZEHh [RR1.67 (95% CI 1.45, 1.92), P < 0.001] and a 6-month BdqPaLzdMfx [RR 1.64 (95% CI 1.24, 2.16), P < 0.0005] compared to the standard longer regimens. Treatment with 6 months of BdqPaLzdMfx [RR 0.33 (95% CI 0.2, 0.55), P < 0.0001] had a low risk of severe adverse events, followed by 6 months of BdqPaLzd [RR 0.36 (95% CI 0.22, 0.59), P ≤ 0.001] and BdqPaLzdCfz [RR 0.54 (95% CI 0.37, 0.80), P < 0.0001] than standard of care.ConclusionTreatment of patients with RR/MDR-TB using shorter regimens of 6 months BdqLzdLfxZTrd/Eto/H, 9-11 months km/CmMfx/LfxPtoCfzZEHh, and 6 months BdqPaLzdMfx provides significantly higher cure and treatment completion rates compared to the standard longer MDR/RR-TB. However, 6BdqPaLzdMfx, 6BdqPaLzd, and 6BdqPaLzdCfz short regimens are significantly associated with decreased severity of adverse events. The findings are in support of the current WHO-recommended 6-month shorter regimens.
