Study Description

Brief Summary:

The purpose of this study is to elucidate whether the individualized medicine based on NAT2 gene polymorphism could improve the safety, efficacy and economical benefits of multi-drug therapy for the pulmonary tuberculosis with isoniazid.

Arms and Interventions

Arm	Intervention/treatment
Experimental: PGx-treatment NAT2 genotype-guided treatment with stratified isoniazid dose (approx. 7.5 mg/kg b.w., patients homozygous for NAT24: rapid acetylators; 5 mg/kg, patients heterozygous for NAT24: intermediate acetylators; 2.5 mg/kg, patientes without NAT2*4: slow acetylators)	Drug: Isoniazid Modified daily isoniazid dose : approx. 7.5 mg/kg, 5 mg/kg and 2.5 mg/kg for rapid, intermediate and slow acetylators, respectively
Active Comparator: STD-treatment Treatment with conventional standard isoniazid dose (approx. 5 mg/kg b.w.)	Drug: isoniazed Conventional standard daily isoniazid dose : approx. 5 mg/kg b.w. for all

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :

The incidences of unfavorable events in two different treatment regimens based on the NAT2 gene polymorphism
1) the incidences of drug-induced liver injury associated with INH that occurred within 8 weeks of the treatments, and 2) the incidence of early treatment failure as indicated by a persistent positive culture or no improvement in chest radiographs at the 8th week

Secondary Outcome Measures :

Other adversed events during the 8 weeks of the intensive phase of the anti-tuberculosis therapy
