About this study

Official 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

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

Read the detailed description

Participants will be stratified by indication for tuberculosis (TB) preventive treatment (TPT) - HIV seropositive persons or HIV-negative household contact of person with infectious TB - and will receive either one of two TB preventive therapy regimens:

Group 1: People living with HIV infection without active TB

Arm A: isoniazid (300mg) and rifapentine (600mg) daily for 4 weeks (1HP)

Arm B: isoniazid (900mg) and rifapentine (900mg) weekly for 12 weeks (3HP)

Arm A (n=250): 250 participants age ≥13 years of age who are HIV seropositive and taking ART who do not have evidence of active TB will be recruited from local clinics. After being consented, screened, and randomized, participants in Arm A will receive the 1HP regimen once daily for 4 weeks (28 doses).

Study events include a health history, physical exam, TB symptom screen, symptom screen for adverse events (AEs), adherence checks during 1HP, and clinic visits at months 1, 2, and 6, at the least. Safety labs for liver function will be checked as clinically indicated.

Arm B (n=250): 250 participants age ≥13 years of age who are HIV seropositive and taking ART who do not have evidence of active TB will be recruited from local clinics. After being consented, screened, and randomized, participants in Arm B will receive the 3HP regimen once weekly for 12 weeks (12 doses).

Study events include a health history, physical exam, TB symptom screen, symptom screen for adverse events (AEs), adherence checks during 3HP, and clinic visits at months 1, 2, 3, and 6, at the least. Safety labs for liver function will be checked as clinically indicated.

Group 2: HIV-negative household contacts of newly diagnosed adults with rifampicin-sensitive pulmonary TB.

Arm A: isoniazid (300mg) and rifapentine (600mg) daily for 4 weeks (1HP)

Arm B: isoniazid (900mg) and rifapentine (900mg) weekly for 12 weeks (3HP)

Arm A (n=250): 250 participants age ≥13 years of age who are HIV-negative household contacts of adults with rifampicin-sensitive pulmonary TB who do not have evidence of active TB will be recruited from local clinics and households of active cases. After being consented, screened, and randomized, participants in Arm A will receive the 1HP regimen once daily for 4 weeks (28 doses).

Study events include a health history, physical exam, TB symptom screen, symptom screen for adverse events (AEs), adherence checks during 1HP, and clinic visits at months 1, 2, and 6, at the least. Safety labs for liver function will be checked as clinically indicated.

Arm B (n=250): 250 participants age ≥13 years of age who are HIV-negative household contacts of adults with rifampicin-sensitive pulmonary TB who do not have evidence of active TB will be recruited from local clinics and households of active cases. After being consented, screened, and randomized, participants in Arm B will receive the 3HP regimen once weekly for 12 weeks (12 doses).

Study events include a health history, physical exam, TB symptom screen, symptom screen for adverse events (AEs), adherence checks during 3HP, and clinic visits at months 1, 2, 3, and 6, at the least. Safety labs for liver function will be checked as clinically indicated.

What is being measured

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

  1. Treatment adherence- self-report

    Completion of TPT with >90% adherence documented by self-report (both groups, Arms A and B)

    Measured: from study entry at Week 0 through up to 8 weeks of 1HP (Group 1) or up to 24 weeks of 3HP (Group 2) , to be reported at end of trial

  2. Treatment adherence- pill count

    Completion of TPT with >90% adherence documented by pill count (both groups, Arms A and B)

    Measured: from study entry at Week 0 through up to 8 weeks of 1HP (Group 1) or up to 24 weeks of 3HP (Group 2) , to be reported at end of trial

  3. Treatment adherence- electronic monitoring device (EMD)

    Completion of TPT with >90% adherence documented by pill count (both groups, Arms A and B)

    Measured: from study entry at Week 0 through up to 8 weeks of 1HP (Group 1) or up to 24 weeks of 3HP (Group 2) , to be reported at end of trial

  4. Adverse Events

    Occurrence of Grade 2 or higher targeted safety events (both groups, Arms A and B). Targeted safety events are hypersensitivity syndrome, rash, seizure, peripheral neuropathy, hepatotoxicity, nausea and vomiting, and drug-related fever.

    Measured: from study entry at Day 0 through Month 6 (Week 24), to be reported at end of trial

  5. Early treatment discontinuation

    discontinuation of study medications because of side effects (both groups, Arms A and B)

    Measured: from study entry at Week 0 through up to 8 weeks of 1HP (Group 1) or up to 24 weeks of 3HP (Group 2), to be reported at end of trial

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Cost-effectiveness

    Incremental cost-effectiveness of 1HP and 3HP (compared to each other, ^ months of isoniazid (6H), and no treatment) using a societal perspective.

    Measured: from study entry at Week 0 through up to 8 weeks of 1HP (Group 1) or up to 24 weeks of 3HP (Group 2) , to be reported at end of trial

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Daily rifapentine and isoniazid for 4 weeks and Weekly rifapentine and isoniazid for 12 weeks in people with HIV Seropositivity and Tuberculosis, run by The Aurum Institute NPC at 4 sites in 4 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 10 inclusion and 22 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Dec 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in India, Indonesia, Mozambique, South Africa. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

Treatment adherence- self-report (time frame: from study entry at Week 0 through up to 8 weeks of 1HP (Group 1) or up to 24 weeks of 3HP (Group 2) , to be reported at end of trial). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. 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 12 Dec 2025; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
