Brief Summary:
The investigators hypothesise that high dose RIF (RIF35) will increase pericardial fluid RIF exposure and so enhance mycobacterial clearance, compared to standard of care dosing (RIF10).
This Phase 2b randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded trial will evaluate the efficacy and safety of RIF 35mg/kg compared 10mg/kg, added to standard first-line ATT, for the treatment of PCTB.

Detailed Description:
IMPI-3 - A Randomized Controlled Trial of High vs. Standard Dose Rifampicin for Effusive Tuberculous Pericarditis
Phase 2b Randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded clinical trial
The trial will enroll 100 adult participants with pericardial TB from two research sites in South Africa, with no exclusions being made on the basis of sex/gender, racial or ethnic group.
Consenting participants will be stratified by HIV status and PCF GX-Ultra status, then randomized 1:1 to receive either standard of care anti-tuberculosis treatment (ATT) or standard of care plus high dose Rifampicin (RIF), both administered orally for 2 months, followed by a continuation phase of 4 months' RH at standard doses.
