How to interpret results of molecular tests for resistance 6 Case 1 70 yo asymptomatic man from India with abnormal preimmigration CXR, no TB history Domestic CXR with multifocal infiltrates Sputum smear positive x 3 Xpert positive: rifampin resistant What do you do next? Start MDR treatment Order pyrosequencing or MDDR Start RIPE Repeat Xpert on another specimen Start treatment for monorif resistance 7 14
Case 1 Treatment held; PSQ available within days and clinically stable Pyrosequencing: katg mutation: INH R rpob 31TTG mutation: RIF R gyra (FQ): no mutations rrs (amikacin): no mutations What do you do next? Start MDR treatment Order MDDR Start RIPE Repeat Xpert on another specimen Order second line DSTs Cancel DSTs (already have molecular results) 8 Case 70 yo man from Mexico in US x years with 4 weeks of cough, no TB history CXR with multifocal infiltrates Sputum smear positive x 3 Xpert positive, rifampin resistant What do you do next? Start MDR treatment Order pyrosequencing or MDDR Start RIPE Repeat Xpert on another specimen Start treatment for monorif resistance 9 1
RIPE started PSQ: Case katg/inha: no mutation INH Sens rpob: 14TTT silent mutation: RIF Sens 30 How to interpret molecular test for resistance Put into clinical and epidemiologic context! Confirm non sequencing tests (e.g., Xpert) with sequencing test Consider Rif resistance on Xpert to be MDR (not just rifampin monoresistant) Can usually treat based on sequencing test results; follow the growth based DST results 31 16
Limitations / Areas for Caution Molecular tests vs. DST discordance Undescribed mutations outside of loci in current molecular tests resistance Emerging resistance in mixed populations may not be detected Disputed mutations DSTs show susceptible but associated with clinical treatment failure 3 Experts on Xpert: A Laboratorian and a Clinician Discuss Interpretation of Xpert MTB/RIF Results This 90 minute webinar discussed the principles of Xpert MTB/RIF testing, highlighting it as an important tool for the rapid diagnosis of TB and how to best utilize the tool. A laboratorian and a clinician reviewed the rules set by the manufacturer, presented cases that addressed pitfalls in interpretation of test results, and offered expert opinion on how to proceed. The training was created for physicians who diagnose and treat patients with TB. The webinar may also be of interest to microbiologists. The webinar content is more advanced, and does not spend time on the basics. https://www.currytbcenter.ucsf.edu/trainings/experts xpert laboratorian and clinician discussinterpretation xpert mtbrif results 33 17
Basic steps: Choosing a regimen Decision: Begin empiric MDR regimen Ask for help: Expert consultation Empiric (expanded) regimen for MDR: 4 first line + FQ + linezolid (+ consider additional second line drug) How many drugs for MDR? Goal: 4 6 likely effective drugs optimally at least Recent studies suggest better outcomes with at least drugs Expert input: Consider more if extensive disease and/or resistance Four may be sufficient with limited disease and/or limited resistance 18

Barriers to Implementing Clofazimine availability Full DST info few qualify by strict criteria How to substitute for adverse events or resistance Why does it work? Other considerations when choosing drugs Beyond susceptibility results, consider: Cross resistance (table page 76) Avoid drugs used previously Side effect profile 4
Treatment Duration Survival Guide Expert consensus for U.S. Setting: Use culture conversion to guide minimum duration Intensive phase: at least 6 mo beyond culture conversion for use of injectable agent Total duration: at least 18 months beyond culture conversion WHO 011 and 016 Guideline: Intensive phase at least 8 months Total duration at least 0 months (if no prior rx for MDR; if prior MDR rx at least 4 months) 003 ATS/CDC/IDSA guidelines: 18 4 mo Treatment regimens Suggestions based on pattern of drug resistance Pre XDR and XDR recommend longer duration (at least 4 mo. post culture conversion) Chapter 4, page 80
Medication Fact Sheets Drug class/trade name Activity against TB Cross resistance Dose (adult, peds, renal) Route of administration Preparation/storage Pharmacokinetics Oral absorbtion/metabolism CSF penetration Special circumstances Adverse reactions/contraindications Monitoring Costs/patient education Regimens for XDR TB Treatment choices are limited Bedaquiline, Linezolid and any remaining injectable become the mainstay of treatment Add whatever oral medications are left to which there is in vitro susceptibility Surgery if disease is localized Nearly all patients are treatable and curable 6
Surgery? No hard and fast rules; WHO: Surgery may be used Metaanalysis suggests success Consider if: Very extensive resistance Residual large cavity Predominantly one sided disease Previous MDR treatment failure Marrone MT, et al. Surgical interventions for drug resistant tuberculosis: a systematic review and meta analysis. Int J Tuberc Lung Dis 013;17(1):6 16. MDR TB Clinical Case Management Seek consultation with MDR TB expert as soon as multidrug resistance known Use daily DOT throughout entire treatment course No intermittent therapy for drug resistance!! Use case management tools (drug o gram) to follow serial changes in drugs, bacteriology, CXR, toxicities Optimize management of underlying medical conditions and nutritional status (i.e. diabetes) 7

Cycloserine: Therapeutic Drug Monitoring absorption highly variable therapeutic and toxic levels are very close drug levels are highly recommended Draw hours after dose Injectables: if renal compromise, significantly over or under weight, or elderly Some experts recommend obtaining levels routinely peak and/or trough levels Recommended MDR TB Monitoring for Efficacy Collect sputum monthly throughout End of treatment sputum for smear and culture CXR quarterly and at end of treatment Monitor for years after treatment Quarterly: first year, Q6 months: second year) 9
