BACKGROUND: WHO recommends a 2-month optimal duration for new drug regimens for rifampicin-susceptible tuberculosis. We aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of the 8-week regimens that were assessed as part of the TRUNCATE management strategy of the TRUNCATE-TB trial.
METHODS: TRUNCATE-TB was a multi-arm, multi-stage, open-label, randomised controlled trial in which participants aged 18-65 years with rifampicin-susceptible pulmonary tuberculosis were randomly assigned via a web-based system, using permuted blocks, to 24-week standard treatment (rifampicin, isoniazid, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol) or the TRUNCATE management strategy comprising initial 8-week treatment, then post-treatment monitoring and re-treatment where needed. The four 8-week regimens comprised five drugs, modified from standard treatment: high-dose rifampicin and linezolid, or high-dose rifampicin and clofazimine, or bedaquiline and linezolid, all given with isoniazid, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol; and rifapentine, linezolid, and levofloxacin, given with isoniazid and pyrazinamide. Here, we report the efficacy (proportion with unfavourable outcome; and difference from standard treatment, assessed via Bayesian methods) and safety of the 8-week regimens, assessed in the intention-to-treat population. This prespecified exploratory analysis is distinct from the previously reported 96-week outcome of the strategy in which the regimens were deployed. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03474198).
FINDINGS: Between March 21, 2018, and March 26, 2020, 675 participants (674 in the intention-to-treat population) were enrolled and randomly assigned to the standard treatment group or one of the four 8-week regimen groups. Two 8-week regimens progressed to full enrolment. An unfavourable outcome (mainly relapse) occurred in seven (4%) of 181 participants on standard treatment; 46 (25%) of 184 on the high-dose rifampicin and linezolid-containing regimen (adjusted difference 21·0%, 95% Bayesian credible interval [BCI] 14·3-28·1); and 26 (14%) of 189 on the bedaquiline and linezolid-containing regimen (adjusted difference 9·3% [4·3-14·9]). Grade 3-4 adverse events occurred in 24 (14%) of 181 participants on standard treatment, 20 (11%) of 184 on the rifampicin-linezolid regimen, and 22 (12%) of 189 on the bedaquiline-linezolid regimen.
INTERPRETATION: Efficacy was worse with 8-week regimens, although the difference from standard treatment varied between regimens. Even the best 8-week regimen (bedaquiline-linezolid) should only be used as part of a management strategy involving post-treatment monitoring and re-treatment if necessary.
