Abstract
Background: Short-course tuberculosis (TB) prevention regimens, including 12 weeks of isoniazid and rifapentine (3HP), are increasingly used in high-TB-burden countries. Despite established safety and tolerability in efficacy trials, 3HP-related adverse events (AEs) could differ in routine settings. Real-world data on AE type, frequency, and timing are crucial for health systems considering 3HP programmatic scale-up.
Methods: We reviewed AEs among people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) participating in a pragmatic implementation trial of facilitated 3HP taken by directly observed therapy (DOT) or self-administered therapy (SAT) in Kampala, Uganda, and classified them using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events. We assessed AE timing and summarized related clinical actions including laboratory tests, diagnoses made, medications prescribed, and treatment interruptions.
Results: Among 1655 people with HIV treated between July 2020 and September 2022, 270 (16.3%) reported 451 events; main issues included general (7%), nervous system (6%), musculoskeletal (5%), gastrointestinal (5%), and dermatologic (3%) disorders. Most (61%) occurred within 6 weeks of initiating 3HP. Among those with events, 211 (78%) required further clinician evaluation, 202 (75%) required laboratory testing, 102 (38%) had medications prescribed, 40 (15%) had treatment paused, and 14 (5%) discontinued 3HP. Women, those multidimensionally impoverished, and DOT recipients were more likely to report an AE. SAT users and later enrollees were more likely to have 3HP interrupted or stopped due to an AE.
Conclusions: In a routine setting, 3HP was safe, with 16% of people with HIV reporting AEs and only 3% requiring temporary or permanent treatment interruption. These findings support 3HP expansion in routine HIV/AIDS care settings for TB prevention. Clinical Trials Registration. NCT03934931.
