The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the sequential use of bedaquiline (Bdq) and delamanid (Dlm) in patients with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) and limited treatment options.
This study evaluated 74 MDR-TB patients treated between March 2016 and December 2018 with Bdq followed by Dlm (n = 22), or vice versa (n= 52), combined with optimized background regimens.
The mean age of the participants was 49.0 ± 15.8 years. Fifty-one (68.9%) of the participants were male. Fluoroquinolone resistance was identified in 54 (72.9%) patients, including 20 (27.0%) with extensively drug-resistant TB. Of the 47 (63.5%) patients with positive cultures at the commencement of the first new drug, culture conversion occurred in 44 (93.6%). The interim treatment outcome after 12 months was favourable in 68/74 patients (91.9%). Twenty-four weeks of treatment were completed in 137 of 148 episodes of new drug use (92.3%). Regarding the 11 early discontinuation events, six patients stopped using a new drug due to adverse drug reactions that were not life-threatening, including one (1.4%) who stopped Bdq due to QT-prolongation.
Sequential use of the two new drugs appears to be an effective and safe option for MDR-TB patients with few treatment options.
本研究旨在评估贝达喹啉(Bdq)和德拉马尼(Dlm)序贯疗法在治疗耐多药结核病(MDR-TB)且治疗选择有限的患者中的疗效和安全性。
本研究评估了 2016 年 3 月至 2018 年 12 月间 74 例接受 Bdq 序贯 Dlm(n=22)或反之(n=52)治疗的 MDR-TB 患者,联合优化背景治疗方案。
参与者的平均年龄为 49.0±15.8 岁,51 例(68.9%)为男性。54 例(72.9%)患者存在氟喹诺酮类耐药,其中 20 例(27.0%)为广泛耐药结核。47 例(63.5%)起始新药物治疗时培养阳性患者中,44 例(93.6%)培养转阴。12 个月时的中期治疗结局在 68/74 例(91.9%)患者中良好。148 个新药物治疗疗程中有 137 个(92.3%)完成了 24 周的治疗。在 11 例早期停药事件中,6 例因非危及生命的药物不良反应停止使用新药物,其中 1 例(1.4%)因 QT 延长停止使用 Bdq。
对于治疗选择有限的 MDR-TB 患者,两种新药序贯使用似乎是一种有效且安全的选择。
