About this study

Official title: TBTC Study 25:A Prospective, Randomized, Double-Blind Study of the Tolerability of Higher Doses of Rifapentine

Randomized, double-blind study of the tolerability of three different doses of rifapentine

Read the detailed description

Prospective, randomized, double-blinded, comparative study. Patients are randomized at the completion of induction phase therapy. Sample-size is 50 HIV-seronegative patients with culture-positive, drug susceptible TB in each treatment arm. The first 75 patients will be randomized 2:1 to 900 mg:600 mg rifapentine. The second 75 patients will be randomized 2:1 to 1200 mg:600 mg rifapentine. The DSMB will review tolerability and safety data on the first 21 patients enrolled (at the 900 mg and 600 mg doses) and approve proceeding to enrollment at the 1200 mg dose.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing rifapentine in people with Tuberculosis, run by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention at 23 sites in 2 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Sep 2005. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 23 sites in United States, Canada. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Proportion of patients who fail to complete therapy in each of the dosing groups. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00023426, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 Sep 2005.
