Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 80 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Among patients with pulmonary TB diagnosed in our hospital and treated with 4 first line anti-TB drug(isoniazid/rifampicin/ethambutol/pyrazinamide= HREZ), we recruit patients who underwent gastrectomy to Gastrectomy group. And then, we recruit age-sex matched patients who did not underwent gastrectomy to Non-gastrectomy group.(age ±3 years)

Who may be able to join

  • Age greater than 18 years and less than 80 years
  • pulmonary TB confirmed by microbiologic test such as AFB culture or TB PCR
  • usage of 4 first-line anti-TB drugs (Isoniazid(INH) Rifampin(RFP) Ethambutol(EMB), Pyrazinamide(PZA) = HREZ)

Who cannot join

  • patients with liver disease (bilirubin ≥ 1.5 mg/d or AST ≥ 2 x normal upper limit) or chronic renal failure (Cr ≥ 2.0 mg/d) who cannot use first-line anti-TB drugs
  • patients with AIDS or hypoalbuminemia(albumin < 3.0g/dl)that will influence pharmacokinetics of first line anti-TB drugs
  • patients using other drugs that will influence pharmacokinetics of first line anti-TB drugs during anti-TB treatment (e.g warfarin)
  • patients using anti-cancer or immunosuppressive agents that will influence the response of pulmonary TB to anti-TB drugs
  • discontinuation of first-line anti-TB drugs(HREZ)due to side effect or resistance
  • follow-up loss before completion of anti-TB treatment
  • any condition making the patients undergo gastrectomy during anti-TB treatment in case of Non-gastrectomy group

About this study

Official title: Absorption of Anti-tuberculosis Drugs and Its Effect to Treatment Response in Gastrectomized Patients

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of gastrectomy on pharmacokinetic profile of first-line anti-tuberculosis drugs in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis (TB).

Read the detailed description

Gastrectomy is a well-known risk factor for TB. Also, there were some reports about malabsorption of anti-TB drugs in the gastrectomized patients. However, pharmacokinetics of recently used first line anti-TB drugs in the gastrectomized patients have not been well evaluated simultaneously. Therefore, the investigators aim to evaluate the effect of gastrectomy on pharmacokinetic profile of first-line anti-TB drugs in patients with pulmonary TB through this study.

Being tested
standard first line anti-TB drugs

What participants receive

  • standard first line anti-TB drugsDrug

    Also called Pharmacokinetics of Anti-tuberculosis Drugs

    We will perform pharmacokinetic study in gastrectomy and non-gastrectomy group, to evaluate the effect of gastrectomy on pharmacokinetic profile of first-line anti-TB drugs in patients with TB

Study groups in NCT01364324
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
GastrectomyTwenty gastrectomized patients with pulmonary TB, treated with standard first line anti-TB drugs(isoniazid/rifampicin/ethambutol/pyrazinamide), administered daily, orally
Receives: Drug: standard first line anti-TB drugs
Non-gastrectomyTwenty non-gastrectomized patients with pulmonary TB, treated with standard first line anti-TB drugs(isoniazid/rifampicin/ethambutol/pyrazinamide), administered daily, orally
Receives: Drug: standard first line anti-TB drugs

What is being measured

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

  1. The change in the maximum concentration (Cmax) of first-line TB drugs

    Measured: Before and 1, 2, 4, 6 and 8 hours after dosing

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The effects of pharmacokinetics on responses of pulmonary TB to anti-TB drug

    Treatment duration can be varied according to several factors such as a first TB episode or not, cavitary TB, and AFB culture(+) after 2month-treatment etc. We will plan 6 or 9 months treatment for each patient according to these factors. During treatment period, we will check chest radiographs and sputum AFB smear/culture with every 2-3month intervals. At 9month after treatment, we will evaluate the effects of pharmacokinetics on responses of pulmonary TB to anti-TB drug by taking account of improvement on chest radiograph and negative conversion and its continuation on sputum smear/culture.

    Measured: 9month after anti-TB treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Tuberculosis and Tuberculosis, Pulmonary, run by National Cancer Center, Korea at 1 site in South Korea.

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Sep 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. 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.

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?

The change in the maximum concentration (Cmax) of first-line TB drugs (time frame: Before and 1, 2, 4, 6 and 8 hours after dosing). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 25 Sep 2020.
