Brief Summary:
Tuberculosis (TB) remains the most important infectious disease in the world. Preventive treatment plays an important role in successful control of TB. The investigators' previous study showed a 3-month weekly rifapentine and isoniazid regimen had a high protective efficacy but an unsatisfactory completion rate. Therefore, the investigators suppose that a one-month (12-dose) regimen of rifapentine and isoniazid (1RPT/INH) to be equivalent to a 3-month weekly rifapentine and isoniazid regimen with similar efficacy and higher completion rate. Relevant study is lacking in China where the TB burden is high with the incidence rate of 70/100, 000.
Silicosis is a risk factor of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. This is an open-label, non-randomized clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the 1RPT/INH to prevent tuberculosis (TB) compared with those who do not receive preventive treatment among silicotic patients.
Detailed Description:
Tuberculosis (TB) remains the most important infectious disease in the world. Preventive treatment plays an important role in successful control of TB. For preventive therapy, alternative shortened courses such as 1-month daily rifapentine and isoniazid have been evaluated in HIV-infected individuals for its non-inferiority, safety and convenience compared with traditional monotherapy. And the treatment completion rate is higher. The investigators' previous study showed a 3-month weekly rifapentine and isoniazid regimen had a high protective efficacy but an unsatisfactory completion rate. Therefore, the investigators suppose that a one-month (12-dose) regimen of rifapentine and isoniazid (1RPT/INH) to be equivalent to a 3-month weekly rifapentine and isoniazid regimen with similar efficacy and higher completion rate. Relevant study is lacking in China where the TB burden is high with the incidence rate of 70/100, 000.
