Purpose
Open label pharmacokinetic RBT dose-finding study in young (≤ 5 year old) HIV-infected children receiving a LPV/RTV-based ART regimen and who have a recent history of completing TB treatment.
| Condition | Intervention | Phase |
|---|---|---|
| Children With Confirmed HIV Infection Receiving ART Regimen Containing 2 NRTIs + LPV/RTV at Standard Dose Successfully Completed TB Treatment in the Past 2 to 6 Weeks of Enrollment | Drug: Mycobutin | Phase 1 |
| Study Type: | Interventional |
| Study Design: | Allocation: Randomized Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment Masking: Open Label Primary Purpose: Treatment |
| Official Title: | Dosing, Safety and Pharmacokinetic Profile of Rifabutin in Children Receiving Concomitant Treatment With Kaletra |

Primary Outcome Measures:
- To assess dosing, pharmacokinetic profile, and safety of rifabutin when given concomitantly with LPV/RTV for 14 days in HIV-infected children age < 5 years. [ Time Frame: 6-12 months ]
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- We hypothesize that a clinically significant drug interaction exists between rifabutin & /lopinavir/ritonavir in young children (age < 5 years) such that rifabutin dosing for concomitant administration of RBT & LPV/RTV needs to be developed [ Time Frame: 6-24 months ]
| Estimated Enrollment: | 40 |
| Study Start Date: | November 2010 |
| Estimated Study Completion Date: | June 2012 |
| Estimated Primary Completion Date: | June 2011 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |

Experimental: Rifabutin (Mycobutin)
Rifabutin is a red-violet powder souble in chloroform and methanol, sparingly souluble in ethanol, and very slightly soluble in water. Mycobutin capsules contain the antimycobacterial agent rifabutin, which is a semisynthetic ansamycin antibiotic derived from rifamycin S. Mycobutin capsules for oral administered contain 150mg of rifabutin, USP, per capsule, along with the inactive ingredients microcrystalline cellulose magenesium stearate, red iron oxide3, silica gel, sodium lauryl sulfate, titanium dioxide, and edible white ink.
|
Drug: Mycobutin
Indication and Usage: Mycobutin capsules are indicated for the prevention of disseminated Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) disease in patients with advanced HIV Infection. Dosage and Directions for use: Mycobutin cab be administred as a single daily dose, independent of meals. In all cases Mycobutin is to be administred in combination regimens. Identification: Red-brown, self locking, hard gelatin capsule, size 0, containing a violet powder. |

Criteria
SELECTION AND ENROLLMENT OF SUBJECTS
Inclusion Criteria:
- Children with confirmed HIV infection. Confirmation can be by two rapid tests (children age > 18 months) or virologic test (children < 18 months), and detectable viral load prior to starting ARVs.
- Age ≤ 5 years old - rationale: changes in body composition and maturity of metabolizing enzymes and organs result in age-related differences in drug clearance, especially between children ≤ 5 years and children > 5 years of age.
- Receiving an ART regimen containing 2 NRTIs + LPV/RTV at standard dose
- Successfully completed TB treatment in the past 2 to 6 weeks. Successful completion of treatment will be defined as children with good clinical response (resolution of TB symptoms) to treatment.
Rationale:
- RBT has not yet been approved for treatment of TB in children. Participating children can therefore not be in need treatment for TB as this may lead to substandard treatment.
- RBT monotherapy in the presence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis can lead to the development of resistance. Excluding active TB is difficult in children, especially those that are HIV co-infected. Children who have just successfully completed a treatment for TB can be assumed to be free of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
- A minimum of two weeks is needed between RIF and RBT administration to ensure wash-out of any enzyme inducing effects of RIF.
Exclusion Criteria
- History of symptomatic clinical hepatitis during TB treatment
- Abnormal liver function defined as ALT > 2.5 times the normal upper limit (corresponding to the US National Institute of Health Division of AIDS scale grade 2)
- Abnormal bilirubin defined as > 1.5 UNL (≥ DAIDS grade 2)
- Abnormal serum creatinine defined as >1.1 x ULN
- Anemia defined as hemoglobin < 8gm/dL
- Neutropenia defined as < 1.0 x 109/L(corresponding to grade 2)
- Abnormal platelets defined as <125 x 1012/L
- Pre-existing eye conditions
- Any condition that the clinician feels would predispose the child to toxicity
- Children required to take any drug known or predicted to interact with rifabutin (see appendix)
- Children who do not meet inclusion criteria and/or whose parents refuse consent.
