BACKGROUND: Several ongoing clinical trials are evaluating high-dose rifampicin (up to 35 mg/kg) for tuberculous meningitis (TBM). However, rifampicin pharmacokinetics at higher doses is not fully characterized, particularly in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), the site of TBM disease.
METHODS: In a randomized controlled trial, adults with HIV-associated TBM were assigned to experimental arms of high-dose rifampicin (oral, 35 mg/kg; intravenous, 20 mg/kg) plus linezolid, with or without aspirin, or a control arm that received the standard of care with 10 mg/kg of oral rifampicin. Rifampicin concentrations, including the unbound fraction, were measured on plasma samples, and CSF was collected on days 3 and 28 of study enrollment. Data were analyzed by nonlinear mixed effects modeling.
RESULTS: In total, 400 plasma and 44 CSF rifampicin concentrations from 48 participants were used for model development. The median (range) age and weight were 39 years (25-78) and 60 kg (30-107). Rifampicin pharmacokinetics was best described by a 2-compartment disposition model with first-order transit oral absorption and elimination via saturable hepatic extraction. Typical clearance values for the standard dose for days 3 and 28 were 33.1 and 41.4 L/h, respectively; high-dose values were 46.1 and 70.2 L/h. The CSF-plasma ratio was approximately 6% and the equilibration half-life was 3.2 hours. Simulated standard-dose rifampicin did not reach CSF concentrations above the critical concentration for Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
CONCLUSIONS: CSF penetration with standard-dose rifampicin is low. Our findings support continued evaluation of high-dose rifampicin for TBM treatment.
