Drug-Resistant TB: Definitions Mono-resistant: Resistance to a single drug Poly-resistant: Resistance to more than one drug, but not the combination of isoniazid and rifampicin Multidrug-resistant (MDR): Resistance to at least isoniazid and rifampicin Extensively drug-resistant (XDR): MDR + resistance to fluoroquinolones and 1 of the 3 injectable drugs (amikacin, kanamycin, capreomycin) Primary Anti TB Drug Resistance, United States, 1993 2016* Resistant (%) 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 Isoniazid MDR TB 1994 1996 1998 2000 2002 2004 2006 2008 2010 2012 2014 2016 Year INH resistance = 8.7% MDR TB = 1.2% * As of June 21, 2017. Note: Based on initial isolates from persons with no prior history of TB; multidrug resistant TB (MDR TB) is defined as resistance to at least isoniazid and rifampin. 3

Case 1 Case: Gisela Schecter, MD Do you suspect DR? Why? 21-year-old Filipina woman with Type I DM recently emigrated from the Philippines No TB screening at the time of immigration History of treatment for TB with INH +/- RIF as a child and, more recently, with INH, RIF, PZA and EMB given by SAT last year Presented with cough x 5 months, progressive SOB/DOE x 6 weeks, pleuritic chest pain and fever to 101 degrees 6
Frequency of Random Naturally Occurring Resistance Mutations INH = 3.5 x 10-6 RIF = 1.2 x 10-8 EMB = 3.1 x 10-5 PZA = 1.0 x 10-5 Strep = 3.8 x 10-6 INH+RIF = 4.2 x 10-14 (Approximately 10 7 to 10 9 organisms per cavity) Estimated global incidence and proportion of MDR among TB cases Estimated: 490,000 new cases of MDR 4.1% of all new cases and 19% of previously treated cases have MDR (or R- Resistance) Of notified cases almost half are from India, China, and the Russian Federation WHO 2016 report Share of Global Incidence (%) 7
Most Important Predictors for Drug Resistance Previous episode(s) of TB treatment Worsening clinical and/or radiographic findings while on TB therapy Origin from, history of residence in, or frequent travel to a region or country with a high prevalence of drug-resistant TB Exposure to an individual with known (or highly suspected) infectious drug-resistant TB, or exposure to individuals in congregate settings where drug resistance has been documented Drug Resistant TB: Survival Guide, 3 rd edition Slide 15 Additional Factors for Clinical Suspicion Presence of RIF resistance predicts MDR (Rifampin monoresistance is rare) HIV+ (higher incidence of RIF mono-resistance) Slide 16 Drug Resistant TB: Survival Guide, 3 rd edition 8

Run time ~2 hours May give false negative if low DNA copies May yield no results if inhibitors present 11

MDR Treatment- General Principles Seek expert consultation Never add a single drug to a failing regimen When choosing drugs: Consider cross-resistance Consider side-effects Avoid drugs used previously to treat patient s TB Slide 33 Drug Resistant TB: Survival Guide, 3 rd edition CITC Warmline Consultation Curry International Tuberculosis Center 1-877-390-NOTB OR 1-877-390-6682 www.currytbcenter.ucsf 17
Building a Regimen for MDR-TB (1) STEP 1 Begin with any firstline agents to which the isolate is susceptible Use any available First line drugs One of these Fluoroquinolone One of these Injectable agents Add a fluoroquinolone and an injectable drug based on susceptibilities Pyrazinamide Ethambutol Levofloxacin Moxifloxacin Capreomycin Kanamycin Amikacin Streptomycin* * Only use if documented sensitivity Drug Resistant TB: Survival Guide, 3 rd edition Building a Regimen for MDR-TB (2) STEP 2 Add second line drugs until you have four to six drugs to which the isolate is susceptible (and preferably which have not been used to treat the patient previously) Pick one or more of these Oral second line drugs Cycloserine Ethionamide PAS Linezolid Drug Resistant TB: Survival Guide, 3 rd edition 18
Building a Regimen for MDR-TB (3) STEP 3 If there are not 4 6 drugs available in the above categories, consider third line drugs in consultation with an expert Bedaquiline Delamanid Clofazimine Consider use of these Third line drugs Amoxicillin/ Clavulanate Meropenem / Clavulanate Imipenem Clarithromycin High dose INH Drug Resistant TB: Survival Guide, 3 rd edition Treatment Duration 2003 ATS/CDC/IDSA guidelines: 18-24 mo WHO 2016 Intensive phase at least 8 months Total duration at least 20 months (if no prior rx for MDR; if prior MDR rx at least 24 months) Allows use of short 9-12 month regimen for specific circumstances Survival Guide Expert consensus: Utilize culture conversion to help guide minimum duration within U.S. high resource setting Intensive phase: at least 6 mo beyond culture conversion for use of injectable agent Total duration: at least 18 months beyond culture conversion 19
Short course Bangladesh regimen (9-12 mo) Intensive phase (4-6 mo): Kanamycin, gatifloxacin, prothionimide, high-dose INH, clofazamine, ethambutol, PZA Continuation (5 mo): gatifloxacin, clofazamine, ethambutol, PZA 2005-2011: Treatment success 84.5% (n=515) KJM Aung et al.

Slide 53 Infection Control considerations Drug-resistant TB is similar in transmissibility to drug-susceptible TB (WHO 2014) Because MDR-TB transmission has more serious consequences, criteria for release from isolation is more conservative, in particular for high-risk settings. Some experts would consider MDR-TB patients potentially infectious as long as their sputum cultures remain positive. Example criteria for smear positive: Drug-susceptible TB: smear conversion x 3 AND at least 14 days of treatment AND clinical improvement MDR TB: smear conversion x 3 (no subsequent positive smear) AND at least 14 days of treatment AND clinical improvement AND at least 2 consecutive negative sputum cultures without subsequent positive * CTCA/CDPH Criteria for Infectiousness and Placement in High and Lower Risk Settings Objectives 54 MDR TB epidemiology (US) / Background Molecular diagnostics / DST MDR Treatment Infection Control Summary 27
Summary High-risk MDR: Action Steps Obtain rapid molecular test for drug sensitivity E.g. Xpert RIF/MTB (local), MDDR (CDC) Order both first (local) and second-line (state or CDC) DST Consider initiation of expanded regimen Never add a single drug to a failing regimen Consult your friendly neighborhood MDR expert Summary: MDR Pearls Slide 56 DOT should be performed (7 days / wk ideal, 5 days / wk acceptable) Use a case management / tracking tool; drug-o-grams can be your friend TB treatment requires multi-disciplinary collaboration for optimal care! Divide and conquer: Nursing, TB case managers Physicians (pulmonary / ID, hospitalist, primary care, TB control) Infection control Social workers, contact investigators, community outreach workers Specialty care: e.g ophtho, neurology, audiology, HIV, endocrine, etc. 28
