Efficacy and Safety of Bufei Jiedu Granules in Treating Multidrug-Resistant Pulmonary Tuberculosis: A Multi-center, Double-Blinded and Randomized Controlled Trial
To assess the efficacy and safety of Bufei Jiedu (BFJD) Granules as adjuvant therapy for patients with multidrug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis (MDR-PTB).
Methods:
2
A large-scale
multi-center
double-blinded
and randomized controlled trial was conducted in 18 sentinel hospitals in China from December 2012 to December 2016. A total of 312 MDR-PTB patients were randomly assigned to BFJD Granules or placebo groups (1:1) using a stratified randomization method
which both received the long-course chemotherapy regimen for 18 months (6 Am-Lfx-P-Z-Pto
12 Lfx-P-Z-Pto). Meanwhile
patients in both groups also received BFJD Granules or placebo twice a day for a total of 18 months
respectively. The primary outcome was cure rate. The secondary outcomes included time to sputum-culture conversion
changes in lung cavities and quality of life (QoL) of patients. Adverse reactions were monitored during and after the trial.
Results:
2
A total of 216 cases completed the trial
111 in the BFJD Granules group and 105 in the placebo group. BFJD Granules
as adjuvant treatment
increased the cure rate by 13.6% at the end of treatment
compared with the placebo (58.4%
vs
. 44.8%
P
=0.02)
and accelerated the median time to sputum-culture conversion (5 months
vs
. 11 months). The cavity closure rate of the BFJD Granules group (50.6%
43/85) was higher than tha
t of the placebo group (32.1%
26/81;
P
=0.02) in patients who completed the treatment. At the end of the intensive treatment
according to the 36-item Short Form
the BFJD Granules significantly improved physical functioning
general health
and vitality of patients relative to the placebo group (all
P
<
0.01). Overall
the death rates in the two groups were not significantly different; 5.1% (8/156) in the BFJD Granules group and 2.6% (4/156) in the placebo group.
Conclusions:
2
Supplementing BFJD Granules with the long-course chemotherapy regimen significantly increased the cure rate and cavity closure rate
and rapidly improved QoL of patients with MDR-PTB (Registration No. ChiCTR-TRC-12002850)
