STREAM & TRUNCATE trials Andrew Nunn MRC Clinical Trials Unit at UCL Institute of Clinical Trials and Methodology University College, London, UK

Why STREAM? Results from the last of six successive cohorts of patients with MDR-TB in Bangladesh treated with a 9-month regimen suggested there are better options even without the introduction of new drugs – Van Deun A, Maug AKJ, Salim MAH, Das PK, Sarker MR, Daru P, et al. Short, Highly Effective, and Inexpensive Standardized Treatment of Multidrug-resistant Tuberculosis. Am J Respir Crit Care Med. 2010; 182(5): 684-92.

Why is a randomised controlled trial needed? To eliminate risk that patient selection biased results obtained from cohort studies To assess the 9-month regimen in a variety of settings including high levels of HIV-coinfection To develop a better evidence base for MDR-TB treatment If successful, to provide a new standard of care for comparison with potentially better regimens 4

STREAM Stage 1 study design STREAM is a randomised controlled trial of non-inferiority design currently being conducted in Ethiopia, South Africa, Vietnam and Mongolia The control regimen (A) is the locally used WHO recommended regimen in the participating countries The study regimen (B) is closely similar to the regimen used in Bangladesh with the exception that high dose moxifloxacin replaces high dose gatifloxacin

STREAM Stage 2 Following the provisional licensing of bedaquiline we were asked to consider: – is it possible to include additional regimens to the STREAM trial in its present form? – if so, what would be the appropriate regimen(s) to evaluate? After extensive discussions between the study partners and other experts it was agreed that the primary interest to patients and programmes would be: – a fully oral regimen (no kanamycin) and/or – a shorter and simpler regimen 11

Regimens for Stage 2
13
STREAM Stage 2 Collaboration Funding : USAID and Janssen; Sponsor: The Union Including as many of the Stage 1 sites as possible, with additional sites (inc. Eastern Europe) Primary objectives: To assess whether the proportion of patients with a favourable efficacy outcome on Regimen C, the fully oral regimen, is as effective as Regimen B at 76 weeks (18 months) To assess whether the proportion of patients with a favourable efficacy outcome on Regimen D, the 6-month regimen, is as effective as Regimen B at 76 weeks (18 months) 13
14
STREAM Stage 2 design Because it is possible that Regimen B might not be found to be non-inferior to Regimen A it was decided to continue to enrol patients to Regimen A Secondary objectives include the comparisons of Regimen C and Regimen D to Regimen A; these will be particularly important if Regimen B is found to be inferior to Regimen A Sample size for Stage 2 = 1155 14
15
TRUNCATE Two-month Regimens Using Novel Combinations to Augment Treatment Effectiveness for drug-sensitive Tuberculosis (TB): a randomised controlled non- inferiority trial with a multi-arm multi-stage design led by National University of Singapore, and run in collaboration with MRC CTU at UCL 15
16
TRUNCATE: why so short? In 1981 Wallace Fox reviewed the current status of short course chemotherapy; he noted that even in regimens of only 3 or 4 months duration using standard drugs over 80% of patients had a relapse-free cure. What if new drugs were added and treatment was given for only 2 months? Equally good or better results might be achieved. If relapsing patients could be successfully retreated such a strategy might be very attractive both the patients and TB programmes. 16
17
TRUNCATE – a strategy trial Objective: To test whether the TRUNCATE-TB strategy is non-inferior to the standard 6-monthTB strategy TRUNCATE treatment strategy o Treatment can be extended from 8 to 12 weeks for patients responding slowly o Patients smear positive at 12 weeks or missing more than 2 weeks treatment to be given 6 months’ treatment o Regimens behaving badly stopped early (MAMS design) o Close monitoring for relapse Primary outcome: assessed by the proportion of patients with unsatisfactory outcome 2 years after randomisation 17
