About this study

Official title: The Efficacy and Safety Evaluation of Standardized Treatment Included Rifampicin or Rifabutin in HIV/AIDs Patients Combined With Pulmonary Tuberculosis. A Prospective Study.

To compared the efficacy and safety of rifampicin and rifabutin which included in the standard treatment of anti-tuberculosis in HIV/AIDs patients combined with pulmonary tuberculosis, a multi-center, prospective cohort will be established. Antiviral efficacy and drug drug interaction will be investigated in order to provide optimized treatment for HIV/AIDs with tuberculosis.

Read the detailed description

Two hundreds and thirty participants will be randomly assigned to receive an anti--tuberculosis treatment include rifampicin or rifabutin for two months of intensive therapy. Isoniazid and rifampicin (or rifabutin) will be continued to use for four months of consolidation therapy. A total of followed up period will be 12 months.

The antiretroviral therapy(ART) include:

Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate 300mg/d +Lamivudine 300mg/d+ Efavirenz 600mg/d; or Zidovudine 300mg bid +Lamivudine 300mg/d +Efavirenz 600mg/d.

ART will be started after 2 weeks of anti-tuberculosis.

The follow-up visits include 2th, 4th, 6th, 8th, 12th,16th, 20th, 24th, 32th, 36th, 40th, 44th and 48th week. sputum smear, sputum culture, chest X-ray, CD4 Lymphocyte counts,HIV viral load and adverse event will be tested and recorded.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The rate of sputum negative conversion

    The rate of the patients whose mycobacterium tuberculosis cannot be detected in sputum smear or bacteria culture.

    Measured: 2~24 weeks

  2. Case fatality rate

    The number of deaths during follow-up caused by HIV/AIDS and TB / the number of patients with HIV/AIDs and TB enrolled in this study * 100%.

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Treatment completion status

    The rate of patients who complete the whole anti-tuberculous treatment.

    Measured: 12 months

  2. The percentage of HIV viral load less than the detection limit

    The percentage of HIV viral load less than the detection limit

    Measured: 6 months and 12 months

  3. AE

    The number and severity of adverse event.

    Measured: 12 months

  4. Time of sputum negative conversion

    The time of sputum negative conversion.

    Measured: 2~24 weeks

  5. Chest CT scans improvement

    Chest CT showed tuberculosis lesion absorption

    Measured: 2~24 weeks
