About this study

Official title: Comparison of 3-month Once-weekly Isoniazid Plus Rifapentine, 4-month Daily Rifampicin, and 3-month Daily Isoniazid Plus Rifampicin for the Treatment Latent Tuberculosis in Patients With End-stage Kidney Disease: A Randomised Clinical Trial

Objective To determine if treatment completion with a 4-month rifampin (4R) or 3-month rifapentine (P) + isoniazid (H) weekly for 12 weeks (3HP) regimens is better than with a 3-month (3HR) regimen for treatment of latent tuberculosis (TB) infection (LTBI) in patients with end stage kidney disease.

Methods Design: Multicenter, prospective, parallel-group, open-label, controlled clinical trial.

Study population: All adult patients with ESKD in who treatment for LTBI is prescribed at 7 hospitals.

Interventions: Patients who accept participation, will be randomly assigned to one of the 3 arms: 3HR (control) (90 doses), 4R (120 doses) or 3HP (12 doses).

Outcome: Proportion of participants who discontinue permanently the assigned treatment. Follow-up: Periodic assessment for permanent or temporary discontinuation, and adverse events of the assigned treatment.

Sample size: 225 subjects (75 per arm) will be needed to demonstrate, if exists, a 0.16 decrease in permanent discontinuation rates in the experimental arms (4R and 3HP) with respect to the control arm (3HR), with α= 0.025, β= 0.20, and 5% expected losses, and assuming a 0.25 proportion of permanent discontinuation in the control.

What is being measured

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

  1. Treatment completion

    Proportion of participants who complete the treatment assigned at randomization, defined as: 1) 90 doses within a maximum of 16 weeks, without interruptions longer than 2 weeks, and no more than in 2 occasions, for 3HR (control arm); 2) 12 doses within a maximum of 14 weeks, without interruptions longer than 10 days, for 3HP (experimental arm 1), and 3) 120 doses within a maximum of 20 weeks, without interruptions longer than 2 weeks, and no more than in two occasions, for 4R (experimental arm 2).

    Measured: From date of randomization until the date of completion of the assigned treatment, or date of lost to follow-up, or date of death, whichever came first, assessed up to 16 weeks for the 3HR arm, 14 weeks for the 3HP arm, and 20 weeks for the 4R arm.

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Permanent discontinuation because of adverse events

    Proportion of participants who permanently discontinue the treatment assigned, because of adverse events, regardless the relationship of the event/s to the study treatment.

    Permanent discontinuation defined as: 1) not completion of 90 doses within a maximum of 16 weeks, without interruptions longer than 2 weeks, and no more than in 2 occasions, for 3HR (control arm); 2) not completion 12 doses within a maximum of 14 weeks, without interruptions longer than 10 days, for 3HP (experimental arm 1), and 3) not completion of 120 doses within a maximum of 20 weeks, without interruptions longer than 2 weeks, and no more than in two occasions, for 4R (experimental arm 2).

    Measured: From date of randomization until the date of completion of the assigned treatment, or date of lost to follow-up, or date of death, whichever came first, assessed up to 16 weeks for the 3HR arm, 14 weeks for the 3HP arm, and 20 weeks for the 4R arm.

  2. Permanent discontinuation because of adverse events related to the treatment

    Proportion of participants who permanently discontinue the treatment assigned, because of adverse events related to he study treatment

    Permanent discontinuation defined as: 1) not completion of 90 doses within a maximum of 16 weeks, without interruptions longer than 2 weeks, and no more than in 2 occasions, for 3HR (control arm); 2) not completion 12 doses within a maximum of 14 weeks, without interruptions longer than 10 days, for 3HP (experimental arm 1), and 3) not completion of 120 doses within a maximum of 20 weeks, without interruptions longer than 2 weeks, and no more than in two occasions, for 4R (experimental arm 2).

    Measured: From date of randomization until the date of completion of the assigned treatment, or date of lost to follow-up, or date of death, whichever came first, assessed up to 16 weeks for the 3HR arm, 14 weeks for the 3HP arm, and 20 weeks for the 4R arm.

  3. Death

    Number of participants who die while on the study, regardless of its relationship to the treatment assigned at randomization

    Measured: From date of randomization until four weeks after completing the assigned treatment, or lost to follow-up, assessed up to 17 weeks for the 3HR arm, 15 weeks for the 3HP arm, and 21 weeks for the 4R arm.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Rifampicin plus Isoniazid, Rifapentine plus Isoniazid and Rifampicin alone in people with Latent Tuberculosis and Kidney Failure, run by Miguel Santín.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Mar 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Treatment completion (time frame: From date of randomization until the date of completion of the assigned treatment, or date of lost to follow-up, or date of death, whichever came first, assessed up to 16 weeks for the 3HR arm, 14 weeks for the 3HP arm, and 20 weeks for the 4R arm.). 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 NCT05021731, 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 15 Mar 2024.
