About this study

Official title: Different Reintroduction Regimens of Antituberculosis Drugs After Development of Hepatitis During Anti-tuberculosis Treatment

Despite the availability of effective anti-tuberculosis agents that exist to treat this illness, hepatotoxicity during first-line drugs anti-tuberculosis medications (ATT) such as isoniazid (INH), rifampin (RIF), and pyrazinamide (PZA) is not uncommon and limit their use. There is no consensus on method of the reintroduction of anti-TB medications. The risk of reintroducing of a anti-TB medications could be hazardous. There are several differences between the guidelines from the ATS, BTS and the Task Force of the European Respiratory Society, the WHO and the International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease about the methods of reintroducing of anti-TB medications.

The investigators plan to do a prospective study to evaluate the outcome and safety of reintroduction of anti-TB medications after resolution of hepatitis during anti-TB treatment among TB patients in the investigators hospital.

Read the detailed description

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a leading health problem in both developing and developed countries. Despite the availability of effective chemotherapeutic agents that exist to treat this illness, hepatotoxicity during first-line drugs anti-tuberculosis medications (ATT) such as isoniazid (INH), rifampin (RIF), and pyrazinamide (PZA) is not uncommon and limit their use. In the case of confirmed moderate or severe drug-induced hepatotoxicity, treatment should be interrupted and reintroduced after the hepatotoxicity has resolved.

There is no consensus on method of the reintroduction of anti-TB medications. The risk of reintroducing of a anti-TB medications could be hazardous. There are several differences between the guidelines from the ATS, BTS and the Task Force of the European Respiratory Society, the WHO and the International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease about the methods of reintroducing of anti-TB medications.

We plan to do a prospective study to evaluate the outcome and safety of reintroduction of anti-TB medications after resolution of hepatitis during anti-TB treatment among TB patients in our hospital.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing isoniazid, rifampin, pyrazinamide in people with Hepatitis and Tuberculosis, Pulmonary, run by National Taiwan University Hospital at 2 sites in Taiwan.

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 6 inclusion and 3 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 27 Dec 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Taiwan. 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 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?

Contact Jann-Yuan Wang, MD (886-2-3123456, jywang@ntu.edu.tw), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The duration needed for successfully rechallenge anti-tuberculosis treatment (time frame: participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 5 weeks). 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 27 Dec 2012.
