Post-marketing Study
•
•
•
•
1,131 (36.5%) of patients reported at least on symptom
Of these, 848 (75%) completed treatment
Odds ratio (OR) for stopping treatment was 4.9 (3.9, 6.0) for
those reporting at least one symptom between doses 1-10
Nausea/vomiting was the most common symptom (1,033
reports in 498 people)
• OR of 2.6 (1.5,4.3) for stopping treatment
• OR of 0.4 (0.2, 0.7) if isolated nausea
•
•
23 (0.07%) seen in ED or hospitalized
No deaths or permanent organ damage reported
© 2014 Denver Public Health
Conclusions
• High treatment completion rate, 87.2% , even in difficult to treat
populations
• Being ≥65 years old, in correctional facilities, homeless, or eversmokers were associated with treatment discontinuation
• Being a student, recent contact, or younger was associated with
treatment completion
• ~one-third of patients reported symptoms while on the regimen
but 75% went onto complete treatment
• Reporting symptoms increased the odds of stopping treatment by
4.9
• Isolated nausea was not associated with treatment discontinuation
• No permanent negative sequelae

I-Adhere: TBTC Study 33

I-Adhere: TBTC Study 33
Background and Rationale:
– The cost and logistics of DOT have limited
the programmatic use of 3HP
– Patients don’t like DOT (affects acceptance)
– Adherence to SAT is unknown (but assumed
to be < DOT)
– SAT completion could be lower than DOT
and still be cost effective
© 2014 Denver Public Health
Short Messaging Service (SMS)
• SMS/text reminders have been used
successfully to improve adherence to medical
therapy:
– Vaccine utilization, medications (HIV and asthma),
access to care, and follow-up
• Access to cellular phones is widespread and
increasing
• SMS access among LTBI patients and impact
on treatment completion are unknown

I-Adhere - Protocol Synopsis
• Phase IV open label, randomized design
• Target Population: adults with LTBI
• All patients received 3HP
1. DOT (control)
2. Standard SAT
3. SAT with weekly SMS reminders
• Sample size to detect a difference in study arms of
15% or greater based on cost modelling
• Enrollment targeted > 75% from U.S.
© 2014 Denver Public Health
I-Adhere: Objectives
Primary:
Treatment completion by DOT vs SAT with or
without SMS reminders
Secondary:
– Determine the availability, acceptability and
impact of using weekly SMS reminders
– Monitor for toxicity, active TB, and drug resistance
– Measure patient costs associated with treatment
– Evaluate the characteristics and patterns of
adherence among SAT patients

was enrolled into eSAT. Indication for treatment of LTBI was contact with a patient diagnosed
with smear positive TB. Pregnancy was diagnosed in study participant shortly after
enrollment (pregnancy test prior to enrollment was negative).

For patients with more than 1 AE, the AE was chosen in hierarchical order: severity, grade, attribution. *Percentages were made
based on the total of enrollments. ** Deaths with onset date > 45 days after treatment completion are not included.

I-Adhere: Death
Patient, 25 years old black male, unemployed, close contact
of a patient with active TB, was enrolled on into SAT+SMS
arm. At enrollment patient reported history of alcohol abuse,
but no other medical conditions (no symptoms of depression
or suicidal ideation were reported by the patient at
enrollment). Patient received one dose of 3HP therapy. Five
days after taking his first study dose, patient committed
suicide. After careful review of the event by research site’s
investigators, the event was deemed not to be related to
3HP.

I-Adhere: Summary
• Population enrolled was more representative of
patients with LTBI (results are generalizable)
• Adherence to 3HP by DOT was higher than observed
in Study 26 (similar observation in post-marketing
study)
• Treatment completion with 3HP by SAT is
comparable to 3HP by DOT in the USA
© 2014 Denver Public Health
I-Adhere: Summary
• No treatment related deaths or observed increased
toxicity in SAT arms compared to DOT
• Additional analyses:
– extended safety (including sign and symptoms
trends, Hypersensitivity, etc.)
– cost-effectiveness of 3HP SAT compared to other
LTBI regimens in the U.S.
– Exploring the role (if any) of SMS

3HP SAT - Adherence
• Observe doses in clinic when able (first dose
and at monthly follow-up)
• Prepackage the pills with clearly printed dates
for when they should be taken
• Give maximum of 4 SAT doses
• Current: 10 pills (6 rifapentine, 3 INH, 1 Vit B6)
• Future: 4 pills (3 RPT/INH + 1 B6)

3HP –Education and Monitoring
• NEW - Important to educate about the possibility of
dizziness +/- hypotension
• Side effects reported more commonly in patients on
other medications
• Hepatotoxicity is less common but still important;
monitor ALT as you would with INH
• Drug-drug interactions are important to consider
• Monthly in-person monitoring for toxicity and
adherence is strongly recommended
© 2014 Denver Public Health
3HP - Conclusions
• Data continues to support that 3HP is safe and
effective compared to INH
• DOT should be used in settings where the cost
and logistics make sense (schools, jails, etc.)
• Completion with 3HP SAT in adults was
comparable to historical results with rifampin and
better than INH
• Shorter-course, patient-centered therapy is
critical for expanding the scope and effectiveness
of TB prevention efforts
