简要总结
Diabetes significantly increases the risk of developing active tuberculosis (TB). Diabetic patients who do develop TB have worse treatment outcomes and overall mortality. TB also worsens blood glucose control in diabetics, the mechanism of which is not well understood. The incidence of type 2 diabetes is rising globally, and consequently diabetes and TB co-infection is increasingly common, and improving outcomes in this cohort is of growing importance.
Low TB drug levels in diabetic patients have been postulated as a reason for these worse outcomes. There is however contradictory evidence in the literature that TB drug levels really are consistently and significantly lower in diabetics compared with non-diabetics. If this were shown to be the case, performing therapeutic drug monitoring in diabetic patients may be a straightforward way to improve outcomes. Improving blood glucose control may also lead to improved outcomes, however there is nothing previously in the literature looking at detailed blood glucose monitoring in diabetic patients being treated for TB.
This study is planned as a case control study comparing 24 non-diabetic patients commencing TB treatment with 24 cases who have both TB and diabetes. Samples for post-dose TB drug levels will be taken at 2 time points at weeks 2, 8 and 16. These will be analysed via population pharmacokinetics to compare pharmacokinetic profiles between the 2 groups, with the hypothesis that the diabetic group will have a significantly lower exposure to TB drugs than the non-diabetic group. The diabetic group will also be asked to wear a continuous glucose monitor (blinded Dexcom) for 10 days at baseline and week 16, with data compared between the 2 time points.
详细描述
This study has been designed as a case control trial analysed via population pharmacokinetic modelling, with the hypothesis that overall exposure to TB medications will be lower in the diabetic than the non-diabetic group.
Non-Diabetic group (controls):
This group will be asked to take their TB medications as usual, and return at weeks 2 and 8 (timed to fit with routine appointments) and week 16. On these days, participants will be asked to record a video or to call the study team when taking the TB medications, so that the time can be recorded, and will then attend later in the day for routine bloods (week 2 and 8) and trial bloods taken at the same time (trial bloods only at week 16). At each visit, consent will be checked, the participant will be weighed and current medications will be checked. Venepuncture will be carried out for scheduled blood tests and for TB drug levels. With the participant's consent, a further blood sample will be taken later in the day for TB drug levels in addition.
Diabetic group (cases):
The diabetic group will undertake the same visits as the control group, with 2 additional features. Part of the same blood samples taken for TB drug levels will be used to measure oral diabetes drug levels in participants established on oral diabetes medication. These participants will be asked to attend an additional visit after the baseline visit but prior to starting TB treatment. Participants will be asked to record (again via video or call to the team) the time the evening diabetes medications were taken, to omit the morning dose and then to attend for a blood sample for a baseline diabetes medication level. Diabetic patient will also wear a blinded continuous glucose monitor (CGM) for 10 days at baseline and at week 16. Participants will be trained, and at weeks 0 and 16, the study co-ordinator will apply the sensor and transmitter, which will be worn for the next 10 days. The data will then be analysed to compare week 0 with week 16.
