Genetic and clinical predictors of rifapentine and isoniazid pharmacokinetics in paediatrics with tuberculosis infection. J Antimicrob Chemother 2024; 79:1270-1278.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Twelve weekly doses of rifapentine and isoniazid (3HP regimen) are recommended for TB preventive therapy in children with TB infection. However, they present with variability in the pharmacokinetic profiles. The current study aimed to develop a pharmacokinetic model of rifapentine and isoniazid in 12 children with TB infection using NONMEM. METHODS Ninety plasma and 41 urine samples were collected at Week 4 of treatment. Drug concentrations were measured using a validated HPLC-UV method. MassARRAY® SNP genotyping was used to investigate genetic factors, including P-glycoprotein (ABCB1), solute carrier organic anion transporter B1 (SLCO1B1), arylacetamide deacetylase (AADAC) and N-acetyl transferase (NAT2). Clinically relevant covariates were also analysed. RESULTS A two-compartment model for isoniazid and a one-compartment model for rifapentine with transit compartment absorption and first-order elimination were the best models for describing plasma and urine data. The estimated (relative standard error, RSE) of isoniazid non-renal clearance was 3.52 L·h-1 (23.1%), 2.91 L·h-1 (19.6%), and 2.58 L·h-1 (20.0%) in NAT2 rapid, intermediate and slow acetylators. A significant proportion of the unchanged isoniazid was cleared renally (2.7 L·h-1; 8.0%), while the unchanged rifapentine was cleared primarily through non-renal routes (0.681 L·h-1; 3.6%). Participants with the ABCB1 mutant allele had lower bioavailability of rifapentine, while food prolonged the mean transit time of isoniazid. CONCLUSIONS ABCB1 mutant allele carriers may require higher rifapentine doses; however, this must be confirmed in larger trials. Food did not affect overall exposure to isoniazid and only delayed absorption time.

Pharmacokinetics of isoniazid and rifapentine in young paediatric patients with latent tuberculosis infection. Int J Infect Dis 2022; 122:725-732. [PMID: 35868608 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijid.2022.07.040] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2022] [Revised: 07/12/2022] [Accepted: 07/13/2022] [Indexed: 10/17/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study investigated the steady-state pharmacokinetic profiles of 3-month weekly rifapentine plus isoniazid (3HP) in children with latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI). Factors including tablet integrity, food, and pharmacogenetics were also assessed. METHODS During the 3HP treatment, blood and urine samples were collected on week 4. Isoniazid and rifapentine levels were measured using a high-performance liquid chromatography technique. Genetic variation of arylamine N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) and arylacetamide deacetylase (AADAC) were assessed by the MassARRAY®. Safety and clinical outcomes at week 48 were monitored. RESULTS Twelve LTBI children [age 3.8 (range 2.1-4.9 years old)] completed the treatment [isoniazid and rifapentine dose 25.0 (range 21.7-26.8) and 25.7 (range 20.7-32.1) mg/kg, respectively]. No serious adverse events or active tuberculosis occurred. Tablet integrity was associated with decreased area under the concentration-time curve (91 vs 73 mg.hr/L, p = 0.026) and increased apparent oral clearance of isoniazid (0.27 vs 0.32 L/hr/kg, p = 0.019) and decreased rifapentine's renal clearance (CLR, 0.005 vs 0.003 L/hr, p = 0.014). Food was associated with increased CLR of isoniazid (3.45 vs 8.95 L/hr, p = 0.006) but not rifapentine. Variability in NAT2 and AADAC did not affect the pharmacokinetics of both drugs. CONCLUSIONS There is high variability in the pharmacokinetic profiles of isoniazid and rifapentine in young LTBI children. The variability was partly influenced by tablet integrity and food, but not pharmacogenetics. Further study in a larger cohort is warranted to display the relationship of these factors to treatment outcomes.
