Synergistically acting Rifampicin and Faropenem in Tuberculosis
- Conditions
- Tuberculosis of lung,

- CTRI/2019/04/018577

- Brief Summary
The current study is proposed to design an efficient, all oral, shorter regimen for TB treatment. The innovation driving our approach is the synergistic activity anti-tuberculosis activity observed between rifampicin and certain beta-lactam antibiotics and between certain classes of beta-lactam themselves. Different groups have demonstrated clinically relevant inhibition of MTB in the presence of penems and cephalosporins used alone or in combination with Rifampicin and Ethambutol. The proven safety of Penems,their bioavailability along with the proven anti-mycobacterial activity and synergism with Rifampicin,makes the proposal promising.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The primary outcome of EBA will be 7 days measured by the daily rate of change of log10CFU in sputum (EBACFU0–7). The slopes can be described by linear, bilinear, or multiple regression depending on which method fits the data best. Secondary endpoints include the EBACFU days 0–2, EBACFU days 2–7, EBACFU days 0–7. EBATTP will be assessed in an analogous fashion from the daily prolongation of TTP over the relevant time period. The primary efficacy endpoint will be | 1. the EBA over 7 days measured by the daily rate of change of log10CFU in sputum (EBACFU0–7). | The slopes can be described by linear, bilinear, or multiple regression depending on which method fits the data best. 2.Secondary endpoints include the EBACFU days 0–2, EBACFU days 2–7, EBACFU days 0–7. | 3.EBA TTP will be assessed in an analogous fashion from the daily prolongation of TTP over the relevant time period.
