Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>The primary objective of this study is the clinical validation of a DBS method<br /><br>for rifampicin in the target population. The related endpoint is the evaluation<br /><br>of the the association between the concentration obtained by venous sampling<br /><br>and the concentration obtained by means of DBS sampling. The predictive<br /><br>performance of the DBS method as a measure for the venous concentration will be<br /><br>evaluated.</p><br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>- To assess the feasibility of finger prick DBS in the target population. The<br /><br>related endpoint is the response to a questionnaire. Results will be used to<br /><br>prepare implementation of the novel method for home-based monitoring as well as<br /><br>to prepare a HTA analysis.<br /><br>- To design an inventory of cost types related to DBS sampling and conventional<br /><br>sampling. The cost types will function as<br /><br>a basis for future HTA analysis of this novel sampling method compared to<br /><br>conventional venous sampling.</p><br>
