PA-824: Efficacy Review






Bactericidal against replicating MTB
New mechanism of action
Active against MDR strains of MTB
Potency similar to INH
Other analogs show greater in vitro
activity than PA-824, less in vivo
Orally bioavailable with formulation

TB HIV Co-Infection Treatment Issues



Appropriate treatment of both infections
• When to Start ARVs in active TB
• What ARVs to Start – CYP interactions with PIs
and with RIF
How to effectively protect against infection (or reinfection) of HIV+
• Extended INH over 6 months
• Lifetime INH
• Rifapentine
Management and better understanding of the IRIS
reaction in HIV/TB co-infections
