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. © 2014 Denver Public Health I-Adhere: Signs and Symptoms © 2014 Denver Public Health 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 © 2014 Denver Public Health Session Objectives Participants will be able to describe: • The efficacy and safety of 3HP when given by directly-observed therapy (DOT) • The adherence to 3HP by self-administered therapy (SAT) compared to DOT in the TBTC I-Adhere Study. • Recommendations for educating and monitoring patients to maximize adherence and minimize the risks of adverse drug reactions. © 2014 Denver Public Health I-Adhere: Study Drugs x4 110 mm 55 mm 223 mm © 2014 Denver Public Health x1 Standardized Patient Education A.
