Background• Multidrug-resistant TB (TB resistant to isoniazid and rifampicin)

remains a global health threat and is hard to treat

• INH resistance is mediated by two key mechanisms, relevant mutations in M. tuberculosis can be detected by rapid molecular tests • katG mutations high-level resistance• inhA mutations low-level resistance

• High-dose isoniazid is a component drug in WHO-recommended short course treatment for MDR-TB, but the optimal dose is not known

• ACTG A5312 measured the early bactericidal activity (EBA) of different doses of INH in patients with MDR-TB

Isoniazid: Mechanism of Action

• INH activated by KatG to form INH-NAD adduct

• Adduct inhibits InhA, the enoyl-ACP reductase of the fatty acid synthase type II system

• Mycolic acid biosynthesis is inhibited

• Cell death

Vilcheze 2007 Annu Rev Microbiol 61: 35

Note: Ethionamide is activated by EthA, not katG, but acts on inhA

Objectives

• Estimate the 7-day EBA, based on colony forming units (CFU) on solid culture, of INH among participants with TB in which infecting isolate has inhA mutations taking one of three doses of INH (5, 10, or 15 mg/kg daily), and participants with drug-susceptible TB taking standard-dose INH (5 mg/kg daily).

• Estimate the 7-day EBA, as above, based on change in time to positivity (TTP) on liquid culture

• Describe the safety and tolerability of doses of 5, 10, and 15 mg/kg of INH administered daily among participants with sputum smear-positive pulmonary TB.

Summary• Isoniazid has measurable, potent activity against M. tuberculosis strains with inhA

mutations at doses of 10-15 mg/kg daily, supporting its use as a component of multidrug MDR-TB regimens

• While MICs of isoniazid against MDR-TB strains with inhA mutations are typically about 5-fold higher than MICs against drug-sensitive strain, only a 2-3 fold increase in dose is needed to get same activity against inhA mutants as against drug-sensitive strains

• Optimal dose of isoniazid in INH-resistant TB likely depends on NAT2 acetylatorstatus (PG-PK-PD analysis coming soon)

• Role of isoniazid against strains with katG mutations to be determined (arms opening soon)

• Safety/tolerability must be established in longer-term studies

Can INH “resistance” be overcome?

• RCT for MDR-TB: OBR (levo, kana, proth, cyclo, PAS) plus high-dose INH (16-18 mg/kg), standard INH (5 mg/kg), or placebo:• 6 mo culture conversion rate 74% vs. 45% vs. 49%• TTC conversion 3.4 months vs. 6.4 months vs. 6.6 months• More peripheral neuropathy in high-dose INH group, but no B6 given• No differences in hepatotoxicity
