Trial summary

The recommended treatment for latent tuberculosis infection for adults is a daily dose of isoniazid 300mg during 6 months. In Brazil, isoniazid was formulated as 100 mg tables. The treatment duration and the high pill burden compromised patient adherence to the treatment. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: New Strategy for Treating Latent Tuberculosis Infection in Brazil: A Bioequivalence Study of Two Different Dosages of Isoniazid Tablet Formulations in Human Healthy Volunteers

The recommended treatment for latent tuberculosis infection for adults is a daily dose of isoniazid 300mg during 6 months. In Brazil, isoniazid was formulated as 100 mg tables. The treatment duration and the high pill burden compromised patient adherence to the treatment. The Brazilian National Programme for Tuberculosis requested the development of a new 300mg isoniazid formulation. The aim of the study is to compare the bioavailability of the isoniazid 300mg new formulation and three 100mg tablets of the reference formulation.

The study is a randomized, single dose, open label, fasting, two-phase crossover bioequivalence study with a wash out period of 7 days (>7 half-life) in 28 healthy human volunteers. For the determination of isoniazid in human plasma, the investigators developed and validated a sensitive, simple and rapid HPLC-MS/MS method.

This will support the strategy adopted by the Brazilian National Program for Tuberculosis for the treatment of latent tuberculosis. The new formulation will increase patients' adherence to the treatment and quality of life. Medical doctors in Brazil should become aware of the new formulation and the new treatment strategy in order to prescribe the right medication and avoid errors that could result in a high frequency of adverse events. Future research studies should evaluate pharmacovigilance, acceptability of the new tablet formulation and its impact on the cure rate.

What is being measured

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

  1. Average bioequivalence based on the 90% CI

    The 90% confidence interval for isoniazid log transformed Cmax and AUC0-t should be within the accepted bioequivalence range 80.00-125.00% for Cmax and AUC0-t of isoniazid.

    Measured: up to 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Isoniazida in people with Tuberculosis, run by Oswaldo Cruz Foundation at 1 site in Brazil.

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 0 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 23 Jan 2014. 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 Brazil. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Average bioequivalence based on the 90% CI (time frame: up to 6 months). 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 23 Jan 2014.
