About this study
Official title: A Randomized Trial to Compare Effectiveness of 4 Months Rifampin (4 RIF) With 9 Months Isoniazid (9 INH) in the Prevention of Active TB in Children: The P4v9 Trial
Tuberculosis (TB) is spread by airborne transmission from adults with active contiguous TB to children, especially those living in the same household. Once children are exposed and infected they are at very high risk to develop active TB - which can be lethal if not detected and treated promptly. This makes it very important to detect TB infection as soon as possible, and treat this while it is still latent or dormant. Current therapy for latent TB infection is 9 months of Isoniazid; this is very effective if taken properly but because treatment is so long many children do not finish this. Four months of Rifampin is a recommended alternative. In adults this has been shown to be safer with much higher completion rates. However the effectiveness of this treatment is unclear, and is being studied in an ongoing study. The investigators plan to compare the safety as well as the acceptability and effectiveness of 4 months Rifampin with 9 months Isoniazid (standard treatment) in children in several sites in Canada and other countries.
It is hypothesized that among children at high risk for development of active TB, intolerance/adverse events will not be worse (non-inferiority), among those randomized to 4RIF compared to those randomized to 9INH. In addition completion of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) therapy will be significantly greater (superiority), and subsequent rates of active TB will not be significantly higher (non-inferiority) in children taking 4RIF.
Read the detailed description
On a global scale tuberculosis (TB) is the single most important infectious cause of morbidity and mortality in individuals aged 15-49. The World Health Organization has estimated that one third of the entire population of the world carries dormant or latent TB infection (LTBI). Of these, 9 million develop active disease and 2 million die from TB each year. In Canada and other industrialized countries, TB continues to cause significant morbidity and mortality, particularly in minorities, immigrants and other disadvantaged populations.
A key TB control strategy is therapy of LTBI. The current standard regimen is 9 months of daily Isoniazid (9INH). This has excellent efficacy if taken regularly, but the long duration of treatment as well as potential for serious side effects, substantially reduces provider prescription, patient acceptance, and completion. A shorter alternative of 4 months of daily Rifampin (4RIF) has been recommended based on limited evidence in LTBI, but extensive experience using Rifampin for treatment of active TB. However the efficacy of 4RIF in preventing active TB is not known, especially in children.
The investigators have initiated a research program to evaluate 4RIF for the treatment of LTBI. In a first study, 4RIF was associated with significant higher completion rates than 9INH. In a second study, all suspected adverse events were judged by an independent 3-member review panel, who were blinded to study drug. Incidence of Grade 3-4 serious adverse events was significantly lower among the 420 subjects randomized to 4RIF then among the 427 randomized to 9INH (2.4 % vs. 5.6%, P=.02). Grade 3-4 hepatotoxicity was also significantly lower with 4RIF than 9INH (0.7% vs. 3.8%, P=.003), and completion rates were significantly higher with 4RIF.
Therefore, a large scale multi-center trial was launched, with CIHR funding, to compare the efficacy and effectiveness in preventing active TB of 4RIF and 9INH in adults (see NCT00931736). In total 5,850 adults will be randomized at 4 sites in Canada as well as sites in Australia, Brazil, Benin, Ghana, Indonesia, Korea and Saudi Arabia. The primary outcome of this trial is the occurrence of microbiologically confirmed active TB within 28 months after randomization.
As an addition to this ongoing study, the investigators are conducting an open label randomized trial in children at some of these same sites with the primary objectives of comparing tolerability and safety. Secondary outcomes will be completion of therapy (defined as taking more than 80% of planned doses), and active TB. Eligible children will be HIV infected, household contacts of active pulmonary TB cases, or other high risk group, with a positive Tuberculin skin test (TST) reaction. Active TB must be excluded before enrollment.
A total of 822 children will be randomized in equal numbers to receive daily and self-administered 9INH or 4RIF. Children will be followed by their usual providers during therapy.
Intolerability and adverse events during therapy will be investigated according to a standardized protocol, and reported in non-nominal fashion, using a web-based system. These reports will be reviewed by an independent 3-member panel, blinded to study drug, to judge severity and likely relationship to study drug. Completion of therapy will be ascertained by dosage counts (of pills or suspension) at each follow-up visit, and defined as taking > 80% of doses within a defined maximum time.
After therapy, children will be followed every 3 months up to 16 months post-randomization for the occurrence of clinically diagnosed active TB; this will also be detected and investigated following a standardized protocol. The final diagnosis of active TB will be based on the judgment of an independent panel of two expert pediatricians who will review all clinical radiographic and microbiologic information while remaining blinded to study drug.
The primary analysis will compare rates of Grade 1-5 adverse events judged probably due to study drug. Planned secondary analysis will compare rates of study drug completion as well as rates of clinically diagnosed active TB in all children randomized to the two regimens (intention to treat=effectiveness) and rates of clinical active TB in children who take more than 80% of planned doses (per protocol-efficacy analysis).

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Isoniazid and Rifampin in people with Latent Tuberculosis Infection, run by McGill University at 9 sites in 7 countries.
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 8 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Dec 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 9 sites in Canada, Australia, Benin, Brazil, Ghana and 2 more countries. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
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?
Adverse events of all grades (time frame: Treatment duration). 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 NCT00170209, which also lists 7 linked publications.
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 19 Dec 2017.
