Neuropsychiatric toxicity and cycloserine concentrations during treatment for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cycloserine, or its structural analogue terizidone, has been associated with neuropsychiatric toxicity (psychosis, depression, and neuropathy). Prospective clinical data on the incidence of and risk factors for neuropsychiatric toxicity in TB patients treated with cycloserine are limited.

Methods

A prospective evaluation of neuropsychiatric toxicity was performed using validated screening tools in patients with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis treated with terizidone. Cox proportional hazard modelling was performed to explore the effects of clinical variables and measures of cycloserine pharmacokinetics in plasma.

Results

A total 144 participants were recruited: 86 were male and 58 were female; their median age was 35.7 years and 91 (63%) were HIV-infected. Fifty-five (38%) participants developed at least one neuropsychiatric event (30 cases per 100 person-months): 50 (35%) neuropathy, 14 (10%) depression, and 11 (8%) psychosis. Neuropathy was independently associated with cycloserine clearance ((adjusted hazard ratio 0.34 (aHR), P = 0.03)) and high-dose pyridoxine (200 mg vs 150 mg daily, aHR: 2.79, P = 0.01).

Conclusions

A high incidence of early neuropsychiatric toxicity was observed in this cohort of patients treated with terizidone. Cycloserine clearance and higher doses of pyridoxine are associated with incident or worsening peripheral neuropathy.

Cycloserine for treatment of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis: a retrospective cohort study in China.

Project description:PurposeCycloserine has been used in multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) treatment since the 1950s. We evaluated the efficacy and safety of cycloserine and sought to clarify the role of cycloserine for treatment of simple MDR-TB, pre-extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (pre-XDR-TB), and extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB).Materials and methodsA retrospective observational study was performed in Zhejiang Province, China. We enrolled 144 cycloserine-treated and 181 cycloserine-nontreated patients consecutively and determined the treatment outcome as the primary outcome. The proportion of patients with sputum culture conversion and the frequency of adverse drug reactions were also assessed.ResultsOne-hundred (69.4%) out of 144 patients in the cycloserine group successfully completed treatment. The HR of any unfavorable treatment outcome after the introduction of cycloserine was 0.58 (95% CI: 0.38-0.86, P=0.008). Subgroup analysis showed that cycloser-ine could benefit simple MDR-TB cases reducing the risk of unfavorable treatment outcomes (HR: 0.43, 95% CI: 0.24-0.76, P=0.004), but not pre-XDR-TB (HR: 0.65, 95% CI: 0.30-1.38, P=0.263) or XDR-TB (HR: 0.73, 95% CI: 0.22-2.37, P=0.589). The culture conversion rate at the intensive phase was similar whether cycloserine was administered or not (P=0.703). Of the 144 patients treated with cycloserine, a total of 16 (11.1%) patients experienced side effects attributed to cycloserine.ConclusionCycloserine is an attractive agent for the treatment of MDR-TB, and its safety profile warrants its use in most MDR-TB cases. Cycloserine significantly improved the chance of a favorable outcome for patients with simple MDR-TB but not pre-XDR-TB and XDR-TB. Thus, more aggressive regimens might be required for pre-XDR-TB or XDR-TB patients.

Validation of Cycloserine Efficacy in Treatment of Multidrug-Resistant and Extensively Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis in Beijing, China.

Project description:Cycloserine (Cs) is recommended by the World Health Organization as a second-line drug to treat multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB); however, its efficacy has never been sufficiently evaluated. To gain some insights into the value of cycloserine for MDR-TB treatment, in vitro bacteriostatic effect was determined and patient validations were performed prospectively. The in vitro activity of Cs against 104 wild-type Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains was determined, and serum Cs concentrations were measured for 73 MDR TB patients 2 h after administration. The treatment outcomes for 27 MDR-TB patients who had baseline isolates and were treated with Cs-containing regimens were followed up. The MICs for 90% of the recruited 104 wild-type strains were below 32 μg/ml. Eighteen out of 52 patients had peak serum concentrations (Cmax) below 20 μg/ml at the dosage of 500 mg daily, while 13 out of 21 patients had peak serum concentrations higher than 35 μg/ml at the dosage of 750 mg daily. The percentage of favorable treatment outcomes among patients with a Cmax/MIC ratio of ≥1 was statistically significantly higher than that among the group with a Cmax/MIC ratio of <1 (P = 0.022). The epidemiological cutoff value for Cs susceptibility testing was 32 μg/ml. A high percentage of patients receiving the recommended dosage of 10 mg/kg for Cs administration could not acquire desirable blood concentrations; therefore, adjusting the dosage according to drug concentration monitoring is necessary. The Cmax/MIC ratio might be a good indicator for predicting the treatment outcome for patients with MDR-TB or extensively drug-resistant TB (XDR-TB) who are being administered Cs-containing regimens.

Treatment Outcomes and Adverse Drug Effects of Ethambutol, Cycloserine, and Terizidone for the Treatment of Multidrug-Resistant Tuberculosis in South Africa.

Project description:Treatment outcomes among multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) patients receiving ethambutol, cycloserine, or terizidone as part of a standardized regimen were compared, determining occurrence of serious adverse drug events (SADEs). Newly diagnosed adult MDR-TB patients were enrolled between 2000 and 2004, receiving a standardized multidrug regimen for 18 to 24 months, including ethambutol, cycloserine, or terizidone. Cycloserine and terizidone were recorded individually. SADEs and factors associated with culture conversion and unfavorable treatment outcomes (default, death, treatment failure) were determined. Of 858 patients, 435 (51%) received ethambutol, 278 (32%) received cycloserine, and 145 (17%) received terizidone. Demographic and baseline clinical data were comparable. Successful treatment occurred in 56%, significantly more in patients receiving cycloserine (60%) and terizidone (62%) than in those receiving ethambutol (52% [P = 0.03]). Defaults rates were 30% in ethambutol patients versus 15% and 11% for cycloserine and terizidone patients, respectively. Terizidone was associated with fewer unfavorable outcomes (adjusted odds ratio [AOR], 0.4; P = 0.008; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.2 to 0.8). Patients receiving cycloserine were more likely to achieve culture conversion than those receiving ethambutol or terizidone (AOR, 2.2; P = 0.02; 95% CI, 1.12 to 4.38). Failure to convert increased the odds of unfavorable outcomes (AOR, 23.7; P < 0.001; 95% CI, 13 to 44). SADEs were reported in two patients receiving ethambutol, seven patients receiving cycloserine, and three receiving terizidone (P = 0.05). Ethambutol was associated with high culture conversion and default rates. Cycloserine achieved higher culture conversion rates than terizidone. Fewer patients on terizidone experienced SADEs, with lower default rates. The differences that we observed between cycloserine and terizidone require further elucidation.

Extensive drug resistance acquired during treatment of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis.

Project description:BackgroundIncreasing access to drugs for the treatment of multidrug-resistant (MDR) tuberculosis is crucial but could lead to increasing resistance to these same drugs. In 2000, the international Green Light Committee (GLC) initiative began to increase access while attempting to prevent acquired resistance.MethodsTo assess the GLC's impact, we followed adults with pulmonary MDR tuberculosis from the start to the end of treatment with monthly sputum cultures, drug susceptibility testing, and genotyping. We compared the frequency and predictors of acquired resistance to second-line drugs (SLDs) in 9 countries that volunteered to participate, 5 countries that met GLC criteria, and 4 countries that did not apply to the GLC.ResultsIn total, 832 subjects were enrolled. Of those without baseline resistance to specific SLDs, 68 (8.9%) acquired extensively drug-resistant (XDR) tuberculosis, 79 (11.2%) acquired fluoroquinolone (FQ) resistance, and 56 (7.8%) acquired resistance to second-line injectable drugs (SLIs). The relative risk (95% confidence interval [CI]) of acquired resistance was lower at GLC-approved sites: 0.27 (.16-.47) for XDR tuberculosis, 0.28 (.17-.45) for FQ, and 0.15 (.06-.39) to 0.60 (.34-1.05) for 3 different SLIs. The risk increased as the number of potentially effective drugs decreased. Controlling for baseline drug resistance and differences between sites, the odds ratios (95% CIs) were 0.21 (.07-.62) for acquired XDR tuberculosis and 0.23 (.09-.59) for acquired FQ resistance.ConclusionsTreatment of MDR tuberculosis involves substantial risk of acquired resistance to SLDs, increasing as baseline drug resistance increases. The risk was significantly lower in programs documented by the GLC to meet specific standards.

d-Cycloserine Pharmacokinetics/Pharmacodynamics, Susceptibility, and Dosing Implications in Multidrug-resistant Tuberculosis: A Faustian Deal.

Project description:Backgroundd-cycloserine is used to treat multidrug-resistant tuberculosis. Its efficacy, contribution in combination therapy, and best clinical dose are unclear, also data on the d-cycloserine minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) distributions is scant.MethodsWe performed a systematic search to identify pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic studies performed with d-cycloserine. We then performed a combined exposure-effect and dose fractionation study of d-cycloserine in the hollow fiber system model of tuberculosis (HFS-TB). In parallel, we identified d-cycloserine MICs in 415 clinical Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) isolates from patients. We utilized these results, including intracavitary concentrations, to identify the clinical dose that would be able to achieve or exceed target exposures in 10000 patients using Monte Carlo experiments (MCEs).ResultsThere were no published d-cycloserine pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics studies identified. Therefore, we performed new HFS-TB experiments. Cyloserine killed 6.3 log10 colony-forming units (CFU)/mL extracellular bacilli over 28 days. Efficacy was driven by the percentage of time concentration persisted above MIC (%TMIC), with 1.0 log10 CFU/mL kill achieved by %TMIC = 30% (target exposure). The tentative epidemiological cutoff value with the Sensititre MYCOTB assay was 64 mg/L. In MCEs, 750 mg twice daily achieved target exposure in lung cavities of 92% of patients whereas 500 mg twice daily achieved target exposure in 85% of patients with meningitis. The proposed MCE-derived clinical susceptibility breakpoint at the proposed doses was 64 mg/L.ConclusionsCycloserine is cidal against Mtb. The susceptibility breakpoint is 64 mg/L. However, the doses likely to achieve the cidality in patients are high, and could be neurotoxic.

Population Pharmacokinetics of Cycloserine and Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic Target Attainment in Multidrug-Resistant Tuberculosis Patients Dosed with Terizidone.

Project description:Cycloserine is a WHO group B drug for the treatment of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (TB). Pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic data for cycloserine when dosed as terizidone are sparse. The aim of this analysis was to describe the population pharmacokinetics of cycloserine when administered as terizidone and predict the doses of terizidone attaining cycloserine exposures associated with efficacy. The plasma cycloserine level was measured 2 to 6 weeks after treatment initiation in patients hospitalized for second-line tuberculosis treatment. The pretreatment MICs of cycloserine were determined for the clinical isolates. We enrolled 132 participants with rifampicin-resistant TB; 79 were HIV positive. The median pretreatment MIC was 16 mg/liter. A one-compartment disposition model with two clearance pathways, nonrenal (0.35 liters/h) and renal (0.43 liters/h), described cycloserine pharmacokinetics well. Nonrenal clearance and the volume of distribution were allometrically scaled using fat-free mass. Smoking increased nonrenal clearance by 41%. Simulations showed that with daily doses of terizidone (750 mg and 1,000 mg for patients weighing ≤45 kg and >45 kg, respectively), the probability of maintaining the plasma cycloserine concentration above the MIC for more than 30% of the dosing interval (30% T>MIC) (which is associated with a 1.0-log10-CFU/ml kill in vitro) exceeded 90% at MIC values of ≤16 mg/liter, but the proportion of patients achieving 100% T>MIC (which is associated with the prevention of resistance) was more than 90% only at MICs of ≤8 mg/liter. Based on a target derived in vitro, the WHO-recommended doses of terizidone are effective for cycloserine MICs of ≤8 mg/liter, and higher doses are required to prevent the development of resistance.

Model-Based Efficacy and Toxicity Comparisons of Moxifloxacin for Multidrug-Resistant Tuberculosis.

Project description:BackgroundMoxifloxacin (MOX) is used as a first-choice drug to treat multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB); however, evidence-based dosing optimization should be strengthened by integrative analysis. The primary goal of this study was to evaluate MOX efficacy and toxicity using integrative model-based approaches in MDR-TB patients.MethodsIn total, 113 MDR-TB patients from 5 different clinical trials were analyzed for the development of a population pharmacokinetics (PK) model. A final population PK model was merged with a previously developed lung-lesion distribution and QT prolongation model. Monte Carlo simulation was used to calculate the probability target attainment value based on concentration. An area under the concentration-time curve (AUC)-based target was identified as the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of MOX isolated from MDR-TB patients.ResultsThe presence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) increased clearance by 32.7% and decreased the AUC by 27.4%, compared with HIV-negative MDR-TB patients. A daily dose of 800 mg or a 400-mg, twice-daily dose of MOX is expected to be effective in MDR-TB patients with an MIC of ≤0.25 µg/mL, regardless of PK differences resulting from the presence of HIV. The effect of MOX in HIV-positive MDR-TB patients tended to be decreased dramatically from 0.5 µg/mL, in contrast to the findings in HIV-negative patients. A regimen of twice-daily doses of 400 mg should be considered safer than an 800-mg once-daily dosing regimen, because of the narrow fluctuation of concentrations.ConclusionsOur results suggest that a 400-mg, twice-daily dose of MOX is an optimal dosing regimen for MDR-TB patients because it provides superior efficacy and safety.

Moxifloxacin Improves Treatment Outcomes in Patients with Ofloxacin-Resistant Multidrug-Resistant Tuberculosis.

Project description:It is unclear whether the use of moxifloxacin (MFX), a newer synthetic fluoroquinolone, results in better outcomes in patients with ofloxacin (OFX)-resistant multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). During the period from April 2006 to December 2013, a total of 2,511 patients with culture-confirmed tuberculosis (TB) were treated at a TB referral hospital in southern Taiwan. Of the 2,511 patients, 325 (12.9%) had MDR-TB, and of those 325 patients, 81 (24.9%) had OFX-resistant MDR-TB and were included in the study. Among the 81 patients with OFX-resistant MDR-TB, 50 (61.7%) were successfully treated and 31 (38.3%) had unfavorable outcomes, including treatment failure (n = 25; 30.9%), loss to follow-up (n = 2; 2.5%), and death (n = 4; 4.9%). Patients treated with MFX had a significantly higher rate of treatment success (77.3% versus 43.2%; odds ratio [OR] = 4.46, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.710 to 11.646, P = 0.002) than patients not treated with MFX, especially among those infected with MFX-susceptible isolates (40.7%) or isolates with low-level resistance to MFX (28.4%). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that treatment with MFX (adjusted odds ratio = 6.54, 95% CI = 1.44 to 29.59, P = 0.015) was the only independent factor associated with treatment success. Mutation at codon 94 in the gyrA gene was the most frequent mutation (68.0%) associated with high-level MFX resistance. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analysis showed that treatment with MFX was also an independent factor associated with early culture conversion (hazard ratio = 3.12, 95% CI = 1.48 to 6.54, P = 0.003). Our results show that a significant proportion of OFX-resistant MDR-TB isolates were susceptible or had low-level resistance to MFX, indicating that patients with OFX-resistant MDR-TB benefit from treatment with MFX.

Linezolid Trough Concentrations Correlate with Mitochondrial Toxicity-Related Adverse Events in the Treatment of Chronic Extensively Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis.

Project description:Long-term linezolid use is limited by mitochondrial toxicity-associated adverse events (AEs). Within a prospective, randomized controlled trial of linezolid to treat chronic extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis, we serially monitored the translational competence of mitochondria isolated from peripheral blood of participants by determining the cytochrome c oxidase/citrate synthase activity ratio. We compared this ratio with AEs associated with mitochondrial dysfunction. Linezolid trough concentrations were determined for 38 participants at both 600 mg and 300 mg doses. Those on 600 mg had a significantly higher risk of AE than those on 300 mg (HR 3·10, 95% CI 1·23-7 · 86). Mean mitochondrial function levels were significantly higher in patients before starting linezolid compared to their concentrations on 300 mg (P = 0·004) or 600 mg (P < 0·0001). Increasing mean linezolid trough concentrations were associated with lower mitochondrial function levels (Spearman's ρ = - 0.48; P = 0.005). Mitochondrial toxicity risk increased with increasing linezolid trough concentrations, with all patients with mean linezolid trough > 2 μg/ml developing an AE related to mitochondrial toxicity, whether on 300 mg or 600 mg. Therapeutic drug monitoring may be useful to prevent the development of mitochondrial toxicity associated with long-term linezolid use.
