Pharmacokinetics and Safety of Double-dose Dolutegravir When Used With Rifapentine for HIV-associated Tuberculosis

National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)

Abstract

A5406 hypothesizes that dolutegravir (DTG) 50 mg taken twice daily will provide adequate exposures to maintain viral suppression when dosed with rifapentine (RPT) 1200 mg for HIV-associated TB.

This is an open-label, single arm, phase II, multicenter PK study to investigate the effect of daily RPT 1200 mg on DTG exposure in participants with HIV-associated TB. Adults with HIV with newly diagnosed DS-TB who are not currently on ART will be recruited around the time of DS TB diagnosis. At study entry, the 2HPZM/2HPM regimen will be initiated for anti-tuberculosis (anti-TB) therapy and continued for 17 weeks.
