Daily Dosing for Bedaquiline in Patients with Tuberculosis.


ABSTRACT: The bedaquiline regimen for the treatment of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) in adults is a loading dose of 400?mg QD for 2?weeks followed by 200?mg thrice weekly (TIW) for 22?weeks. Most TB antibiotics administered with bedaquiline are given QD. Using pharmacokinetic simulations, we explored alternative QD bedaquiline regimens and determined that 200?mg QD for 8?weeks followed by 100?mg QD provides comparable exposures to the approved regimen. This simpler regimen is under clinical evaluation.
