Pilot Randomized Study of Paromomycin (Aminosidine) vs Streptomycin for Uncomplicated Pulmonary Tuberculosis
- Conditions
- Tuberculosis, Pulmonary
- Registration Number
- NCT00004444
- Lead Sponsor
- FDA Office of Orphan Products Development
- Brief Summary
OBJECTIVES: I. Compare the pharmacokinetics and early bactericidal activity of paromomycin (aminosidine) vs streptomycin for the treatment of uncomplicated pulmonary tuberculosis.
II. Compare the tolerability of these two drugs in these patients. III. Establish the relationships between achieved serum concentration, minimal inhibitory concentration, and early bactericidal activity of paromomycin and streptomycin.
- Detailed Description
PROTOCOL OUTLINE: This is a randomized study. Patients are randomized to one of three treatment arms. Patients in arms I and II receive one of two doses of paromomycin intramuscularly once a day for 3 days. Patients in arm III receive streptomycin intramuscularly once a day for 3 days. All patients then begin a course of standard therapy for tuberculosis.
