QT Interval Prolongation with One or More QT-Prolonging Agents Used as Part of a Multidrug Regimen for Rifampicin-Resistant Tuberculosis Treatment: Findings from Two Pediatric Studies
Rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis (RR-TB) involves treatment with many drugs that can prolong the QT interval; this risk may increase when multiple QT-prolonging drugs are used together. We assessed QT interval prolongation in children with RR-TB receiving one or more QT-prolonging drugs. Data were...

description | Rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis (RR-TB) involves treatment with many drugs that can prolong the QT interval; this risk may increase when multiple QT-prolonging drugs are used together. We assessed QT interval prolongation in children with RR-TB receiving one or more QT-prolonging drugs. Data were obtained from two prospective observational studies in Cape Town, South Africa. Electrocardiograms were performed before and after drug administration of clofazimine (CFZ), levofloxacin (LFX), moxifloxacin (MFX), bedaquiline (BDQ), and delamanid. The change in Fridericia-corrected QT (QTcF) was modeled. Drug and other covariate effects were quantified. A total of 88 children with a median (2.5th-to-97.5th range) age of 3.9 (0.5 to 15.7) years were included, of whom 55 (62.5%) were under 5 years of age. A QTcF interval of >450 ms was observed in 7 patient-visits: regimens were CFZ+MFX (n = 3), CFZ+BDQ+LFX (n = 2), CFZ alone (n = 1), and MFX alone (n = 1). There were no events with a QTcF interval of >500 ms. In a multivariate analysis, CFZ+MFX was associated with a 13.0-ms increase in change in QTcF (P < 0.001) and in maximum QTcF (P = 0.0166) compared to those when other MFX- or LFX-based regimens were used. In conclusion, we found a low risk of QTcF interval prolongation in children with RR-TB who received at least one QT-prolonging drug. Greater increases in maximum QTcF and ΔQTcF were observed when MFX and CFZ were used together. Future studies characterizing exposure-QTcF responses in children will be helpful to ensure safety with higher doses if required for effective treatment of RR-TB. |
