CIEREN-PUISEUX – ACCES TO MEDECINE TBTC S26 – The Prevent TB Study Conclusion ● The largest US Government study on tuberculosis preventive therapy in low to medium TB incidence setting ● Showed that ● Supervised weekly RPT/INH regimen for 3 Mo is non inferior as standard self- administered daily INH for 9 Mo ( both in mITT & PP) in preventing new cases of TB disease ● Completion rate is higher with 3HP than 9INH 82% vs 69% ● 3RPT/INH regimen is safe Lower rate of hepatotoxicity attributable to study drug ● S26 confirms that RPT can be used effectively in low/medium TB incidence settings to prevent TB cases ● CDC recommendation in MMWR : ● « The combination regimen of INH and RPT given as 12 weekly DOT doses is recommended as an equal alternative to 9 months of daily self-supervised INH for treating LTBI in otherwise healthy patients aged ≥12 years who have a predictive factor for greater likelihood of TB developing ».

CIEREN-PUISEUX – ACCES TO MEDECINE Access to Shorter Treatment against Active & Latent TB Access to Medicines & Tuberculosis Promoting Access to Shorter Treatment against Active & Latent TB ● Bringing rifapentine where it should be in TB management: ● Active TB: Pursue efficient development of a 3-4 mo. RPT-based regimen in partnership with CDC & in line with registration standards. Contribute to the identification of <3-month regimen within CPTR. ● Latent TB: Ensure worldwide broad access of the short course RPT/INH regimen at tiered price. Pursue efforts for futher treatment shortening ● Pharmaceutical development: FDC Pediatric formulation
