Study: Dolphin One-Too

Protocol Title

Safety, tolerability, and drug-drug interactions of short-course treatment of TB preventive therapy with high-dose once-weekly rifapentine (RPT) plus isoniazid or standard of care isoniazid preventative therapy (IPT) among human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients taking dolutegravir-based antiretroviral treatment Treatment Indication: Trial Objective:

Treatment Indication

TB preventative therapy (TPT) in persons with HIV infection

Trial Objective

Assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of three months of once-weekly isoniazid and rifapentine (3HP) or 12 months of Isoniazid alone (IPT) among persons taking dolutegravir (DTG) and tenofovir/emtricitabine (TDF/FTC) or tenofovir/lamivudine (TDF/3TC) for HIV infection

Trial Design

Single-arm, single-center, Phase I/II clinical trial, in four groups.

Trial Sites

The Aurum Institute, NPC, South Africa, Clinical Research Division, Tembisa Clinical Research Centre, South Africa

Outcome

Findings:  Short Regimen for Preventing TB Found Safe When Co-administered with New First-line HIV Drug

Study: Dolphin Kids

Protocol Title

Safety, tolerability and drug-drug interactions of short-course tuberculosis preventive treatment with high-dose once-weekly rifapentine and isoniazid (3HP) among Infants, Children and Adolescents Living with HIV taking dolutegravir-based antiretroviral treatment

Treatment Indication

TB preventive treatment (TPT) in persons with HIV infection

Trial Objective

Assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of three months of once-weekly isoniazid and rifapentine (3HP) among infants, children and adolescents taking dolutegravir (DTG) and 2 nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) for HIV infection

Trial Design

Single-arm, multi-center, Phase I/II clinical trial, in two groups.

Trial Sites

  • The Aurum Institute, NPC, South Africa, Clinical Research Division Aurum Pretoria Research Centre, South Africa
  • The Perinatal HIV Research Unit (PHRU), Tshepong Hospital, Matlosana, South Africa

Outcome

Trial in progress

Study: Dolphin Kids

Study: DOLPHIN Moms

Protocol Title

Safety and tolerability of 1 month daily (1HP) and 3 months weekly (3HP) isoniazid and rifapentine with pharmacokinetics of dolutegravir (DTG) in pregnant people with HIV

Treatment Indication

TB preventive treatment (TPT) in pregnant people with HIV infection

Trial Objective

Assess the safety and tolerability of one month of 1HP and 3HP with pharmacokinetics of DTG among adult pregnant people taking dolutegravir (DTG) and 2 nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) for HIV infection

Trial Design

Open-label, two-arm, randomized multicenter study to investigate the safety, tolerability, PK, and potential interactions of DTG and rifapentine (RPT) during pregnancy in people with HIV when RPT is given with isoniazid (INH) daily for 4 weeks (1HP) or weekly for 3 months (3HP) as part of TB preventive therapy.

Trial Sites

Finalized site selection to be determined but anticipated to include :

  • Perinatal HIV Research Unit — Klerksdorp
  • AURUM — Tembisa
  • Stellenbosch — Desmond Tutu TB Centre/Family Centre for Research with Ubuntu (FAMCRU)

Outcome

Trial approved. Waiting for enrolments

Protocol Title

A Randomized Trial Comparing Treatment Completion of Daily Rifapentine & Isoniazid for One Month (1HP) to Weekly Rifapentine & Isoniazid For 3 Months (3HP) In Persons Living With HIV and in HIV-negative Household Contacts of Recently Diagnosed Tuberculosis Patients, The “One To Three” Trial

Treatment Indication

TB preventive treatment (TPT) in persons with HIV infection and HIV-negative household contacts* of pulmonary TB patients

Trial Objective

To compare treatment success (adherence and completion of treatment) and safety of 1HP to 3HP in adolescents and adults who are living with HIV or are HIV-negative household contacts of an adult with confirmed pulmonary TB

Trial Design

A multicenter, randomized, stratified, open label, phase IV trial among HIV-positive persons (PLHIV) on ART, or HIV-negative household contacts of patients with rifampicin-sensitive pulmonary TB, who do not have evidence of active TB

Trial Sites

South Africa: The Aurum Institute, Klerksdorp Clinical Research Site will only enrol HIV-positive persons.

Mozambique: The Carmelo Hospital in Chokwe, Mozambique will only enrol HIV-negative household contacts of adults with confirmed pulmonary TB.

India: The Byramjee Jeejeebhoy Government Medical College (BJGMC)-JHU Clinical Research Site (CRS) in Pune, India will only enrol HIV-positive persons.

Indonesia: The Research Institute in Jakarta, University of Indonesia, Indonesia will only enrol HIV-negative household contacts of adults with confirmed pulmonary TB.

Outcome

Trial approval pending

Study: One to Three (1HP vs 3HP)

Study: TBTC 35

Protocol Title

Phase I/II Dose Finding and Safety Study of Rifapentine and Isoniazid in HIV-Infected and HIV-Uninfected Children With Latent Tuberculosis Infection

Treatment Indication

Rifapentine (given as water-dispersible monolayer and/or fixed dose combination with isoniazid) dosing in HIV-infected and uninfected children ≤ 12 years of age with latent TB infection (LTBI) or with exposure to Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Trial Objective

Trial Sites

South Africa, in Johannesburg and Cape Town, at a minimum of three clinical research sites.

Outcome

Trial approval pending.
