10 Clinical Case 57 year old Filipina woman seen in TB clinic for immigration screening 7 days after arrival to U.S. Patient had chronic cough, fatigue, anorexia, and fever for months PMH Treated for TB in PI for the past 5 years Hx of diabetes mellitus

11 Diagnostic Work-Up of TB Suspect Sputum Specimen (x2-3) AFB smear Mycobacterial Culture Solid media (4-6 wks) Liquid media (2-4 wks) Species Identification Biochemical tests (days) Molecular tests (hours) Drug Susceptibility Testing Solid media (3-4 wks) Liquid media (5-10 days) Rapid Molecular (2 hrs to 1 day)

18 Designing a Treatment Regimen General Principles Regimens should be based on: the history of drugs taken by the patient drugs and regimens used in the country and the prevalence of resistance When possible, once daily dosing is recommended however Ethionamide/Prothionamide, PAS and Cycloserine are often split dosed Drug dosages should be determined by body weight WHO. Guidelines for the programmatic management of drug-resistant TB, 2008

19 Designing a Treatment Regimen General Principles Treatment of adverse drug effects should be immediate and adequate Each dose should be given by DOT and preferably by a health care worker DST, when available and from a reliable laboratory, should be used to guide therapy (INH, Rifampin, injectables, fluoroquinolone) WHO. Guidelines for the programmatic management of drug-resistant TB, 2008

20 Antituberculosis Drugs Group 1 Isoniazid Ethambutol Rifampin/Rifabutin Pyrazinamide Group 2 Group 3 Group 4 Group 5 Streptomycin Kanamycin Amikacin Capreomycin Viomycin Levofloxacin Moxifloxacin Ofloxacin Ethionamide Protionamide Cycloserine Terizidone P-aminosalicylic acid Clofazimine Imipenem Thioacetazone Amoxacillin/Clavulanate Macrolides Linezolid High-dose INH

21 Building a Treatment Regimen Step 1 Group 1 Ethambutol Pyrazinamide 4 likely effective drugs plus PZA Step 2 Group 2 Streptomycin Kanamycin Amikacin Capreomycin Step 3 Group 3 Levofloxacin Ofloxacin Moxifloxacin Step 4 Group 4 Ethionamide Protionamide Cycloserine Terizidone P-aminosalicylic acid Step 5 Group 5 Clofazimine Imipemen Amoxacillin/Clavulanate Macrolides Linezolid Thioacetzone High-dose INH

22 2011 Updated PMDT Guidelines The Guidelines were based on the results of a meta-analysis that included 32 studies and >9000 patients (XDR-TB patients were excluded) For each recommendation, the strength of the recommendation and quality of the evidence were provided

23 Designing a Treatment Regimen Composition of the Regimen Recommendations Four second-line drugs likely to be effective (including a parenteral agent) as well as PZA, should be used in the intensive phase (conditional recommendation/very low quality of evidence) Regimens should include at least PZA, a fluoroquinolone, a parenteral agent, ethionamide (or prothionamide) and either cycloserine or PAS, if cycloserine cannot be used (conditional recommendation/very low quality of evidence) WHO 2011 Update

24 Duration of Therapy

25 Duration of Therapy Recommended in 2011 Update Recommendations: An intensive phase of at least 8 months duration is recommended (conditional recommendation, very low quality of evidence) A total treatment duration of at least 20 months is recommended in patients without any previous MDR-TB treatment (conditional recommendation, very low quality of evidence) WHO 2011 Update

26 Case A 66 year old man presents with chronic cough and weight loss He has been on and off antituberculosis therapy for the past 10 years Isoniazid, rifampicin, ethambutol, pyrazinamide, streptomycin and kanamycin He has diabetes mellitus but no other co-morbidities AFB smear is positive, culture is growing M. tuberculosis and DST demonstrates in vitro resistance to INH, rifampin, and kanamycin and susceptible to ofloxacin

27 Building a Treatment Regimen Step 1 Group 1 Ethambutol Pyrazinamide 4 likely effective drugs plus PZA Step 2 Group 2 Streptomycin Kanamycin Amikacin Capreomycin Step 3 Group 3 Levofloxacin Ofloxacin Moxifloxacin Step 4 Group 4 Ethionamide Protionamide Cycloserine Terizidone P-aminosalicylic acid Step 5 Group 5 Clofazimine Imipemen Amoxacillin/Clavulanate Macrolides Linezolid Thioacetzone High-dose INH

28 Odds Ratios of Treatment Success by Duration of Intensive Phase and Total Treatment WHO 2011 Update

29 Treatment Outcomes of MDR-TB: 2 Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses Orenstein et al, Lancet Infect Dis studies Pooled treatment success of 62% (individualized 64% vs standardized 54%, p = NS) Treatment outcomes were better when: Duration of treatment was at least 18 months Patients received DOT Johnston et al PLoS ONE studies Pooled treatment success of 62% Treatment outcomes were better when: surgical resection no previous treatment fluoroquinolone use

30 Weighted Proportion of Favorable Outcomes in XDR-TB Studies (N=13) Later generation FQN used in: at least 50% of patients 59% less than 50% of patients 31% P = % Jacobson KR et al. Clin Infect Dis 2010;51:5-14

31 History of Thoracic Surgery in TB Hippocrates is credited with performing the first drainage of a tuberculous empyema

32 Plombage and Thoracoplasty Oleothorax Lucite balls Thoracoplasty Sputum negative in 30-60% Closure of cavity in 80%; mortality 10%

33 Surgical Resection Indications: Persistently positive smear or sputum culture for AFB despite aggressive chemotherapy High risk for failure/relapse based on drug resistance profile and extent of disease Complications of TB including, empyema, bronchopleural fistula, hemoptysis Contraindications Pulmonary hypertension Predicted inadequate post-operative pulmonary reserves Other severe morbidities

39 Bedaquiline (TMC207) for MDR-TB Phase 2, randomized, controlled trial 47 patients with MDR-TB randomized to TMC207 or placebo plus standard fivedrug regimen Results Reduced time to conversion Increased proportion that converted (48% vs 9%) Mild to moderate AEs with nausea more common with TMC207 (26% vs4%) Diacon AH, et al. NEJM 2009;360:2397

40 Delamanid for MDR-TB Phase 2 randomized, placebo-controlled trial 481 MDR-TB patients were randomized to delamanid or placebo plus WHO regimen Results Increased proportion that converted by 2 months 100 mg 45.4% 200 mg 41.9% Placebo 29.6% AEs evenly distributed QT prolongation more common with delamanid Gler MT, et al. NEJM 2012;366:2151

41 Summary MDR-TB should be treated with at least 4 drugs likely to be effective plus PZA The regimen should include an injectable agent, late-generation fluoroquinolone, ethionamide, PZA plus cycloserine (or PAS) The intensive phase should last at least 8 months and the continuation phase at least 20 months Treatment outcomes remain suboptimal
