Participant Flow

Recruitment was done through routine passive case detection in operation at ambulatory facilities in the Peruvian public health system (DISA IV-Lima Este and DISA V- Lima Ciudad).

180 participants were randomized in a 1:1:1 allocation to the 10, 15, and 20 mg/kg treatment arms.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: At any time during the intensive phase of treatment, after steady state has been reached (at a minimum, after 14 days of daily RIF delivery)

Population: Analysis was completed in 168 participants evaluable for pharmacokinetics, as samples were unable to be collected in 12 study participants.

The endpoint is the (dimensionless) ratio of AUC0-6 mcg/ml\*h to MIC99.9 mcg/ml
