Clinical Trial: Linezolid Pharmacokinetics (PK) in Multi-Drug Resistant (MDR)/Extensively-Drug Resistant (XDR) Tuberculosis (TB)
Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: Completed
Study Type: Interventional
Official Title: Linezolid Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics in the Treatment of Multi-Drug Resistant and Extensively-Drug Resistant Tuberculosis
Brief Summary: This is a one-period, double-blind, single-center pharmacokinetic study of linezolid in patients with MDR or XDR tuberculosis treated with linezolid and an Optimized Background Therapy (defined as treatment with > 4 drugs with activity against tuberculosis to which the patient's isolate is believed to be sensitive by history or based on drug sensitivity testing).
Detailed Summary: This is a one-period, double-blind, single-center pharmacokinetic study of linezolid in patients with MDR or XDR tuberculosis treated with linezolid and an Optimized Background Therapy (defined as treatment with > 4 drugs with activity against tuberculosis to which the patient's isolate is believed to be sensitive by history or based on drug sensitivity testing).

Current Primary Outcome: Characterize linezolid pharmacokinetic parameters (AUC0-24 and linezolid time over MIC) in patients with MDR-TB and XDR-TB. [ Time Frame: 1 month after the start of study therapy ]
Original Primary Outcome: Same as current
Current Secondary Outcome:
- Assess the pharmacodynamic effects of linezolid AUC0-24 on tolerability (bone marrow toxicity, peripheral and ocular neuropathies) and safety during four months of treatment of tuberculosis [ Time Frame: 20 weeks after starting study therapy ]
- characterize the pharmacokinetics of ofloxacin and potentially other second line anti-tuberculous drugs utilized in the treatment of patients with MDR TB. [ Time Frame: one month after starting study therapy ]
- Assess the pharmacodynamic effect of linezolid pharmacokinetic parameters ( on biomarkers of treatment activity. Biomarkers to be evaluated are time to detection in liquid culture, sputum culture conversion at two and four months of study treatment. [ Time Frame: 16 weeks after starting study therapy ]
Original Secondary Outcome: Same as current
