Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) is a leading cause of mortality worldwide, and resistance to anti-tuberculosis drugs is a challenge to effective treatment. Multi-drug resistant TB (MDR-TB) can be difficult to treat, requiring long durations of therapy and the use of second line drugs, increasing a patient's risk for toxicities and treatment failure. Given the challenges treating MDR-TB, clinicians can improve the likelihood of successful outcomes by utilizing therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM). TDM is a clinical technique that utilizes measured drug concentrations from the patient to adjust therapy, increasing likelihood of therapeutic drug concentrations while minimizing the risk of toxic drug concentrations. This review paper provides an overview of the TDM process, pharmacokinetic parameters for MDR-TB drugs, and recommendations for dose adjustments following TDM.

Abstract
Current tuberculosis and non-tuberculous mycobacterial disease guidelines recommend the use of clofazimine in a 100 mg once-daily dose. The rationale behind this exact dose is not provided. I performed a literature review to determine the reasoning behind the current dosing regimen. The current 100 mg once-daily dose of clofazimine stems from a deliberate attempt to find the minimum effective daily dose in leprosy treatment, driven by efficacy, economical and toxicity considerations. While this dose is safe, economical and practical, a higher dose with a loading phase may add relevant efficacy and treatment-shortening potential to both tuberculosis and non-tuberculous mycobacterial disease treatment. We need to revisit dose-response and maximum tolerated dose studies to get the best out of this drug, while continuing efforts to generate more active r-iminophenazine molecules that accumulate less in skin and intestinal tissues and have pharmacokinetic properties that do not require loading doses.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate the association between drug exposure and adverse events (AEs) during the standardized multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) treatment, as well as to identify predictive drug exposure thresholds. METHODS We conducted a prospective, observational multicenter study among participants receiving standardized MDR-TB treatment between 2016 and 2019 in China. AEs were monitored throughout the treatment and their relationships to drug exposure (e.g., the area under the drug concentration-time curve from 0 to 24 h, AUC0-24 h) were analyzed. The thresholds of pharmacokinetic predictors of observed AEs were identified by boosted classification and regression tree (CART) and further evaluated by external validation. RESULTS Of 197 study participants, 124 (62.9%) had at least one AE, and 15 (7.6%) experienced serious AEs. The association between drug exposure and AEs was observed including bedaquiline, its metabolite M2, moxifloxacin and QTcF prolongation (QTcF >450 ms), linezolid and mitochondrial toxicity, cycloserine and psychiatric AEs. The CART-derived thresholds of AUC0-24 h predictive of the respective AEs were 3.2 mg·h/l (bedaquiline M2); 49.3 mg·h/l (moxifloxacin); 119.3 mg·h/l (linezolid); 718.7 mg·h/l (cycloserine). CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated the drug exposure thresholds predictive of AEs for key drugs against MDR-TB treatment. Using the derived thresholds will provide the knowledge base for further randomized clinical trials of dose adjustment to minimize the risk of AEs.

Abstract
Exploring the influence of pyrazinamide exposure and susceptibility on treatment response is crucial for optimizing the management of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). This study aimed to investigate the association between pyrazinamide exposure, susceptibility, and response to MDR-TB treatment, as well as find clinical thresholds for pyrazinamide. A prospective multi-center cohort study of participants with MDR-TB using pyrazinamide was conducted in three TB-designated hospitals in China. Univariate and multivariate analyses were applied to investigate the associations. Classification and Regression Tree (CART) analysis was used to identify clinical thresholds, which were further evaluated by multivariate analysis and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. The study included 143 patients with MDR-TB. The exposure/susceptibility ratio of pyrazinamide was associated with two-month culture conversion (adjusted risk ratio (aRR), 1.1; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.07-1.20), six-month culture conversion (aRR, 1.1; 95% CI, 1.06-1.16), treatment success (aRR, 1.07; 95% CI, 1.03-1.10), as well as culture conversion time (adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) 1.18; 95% CI,1.14-1.23). The threshold for optimal improvement in sputum culture results at the sixth month of treatment was determined to be a pyrazinamide AUC0-24h/MIC ratio of 7.8. In conclusion, the exposure/susceptibility ratio of pyrazinamide is associated with the treatment response of MDR-TB, which may change in different Group A drug-based regimens.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pharmacokinetic studies of bedaquiline and delamanid in patients with pre-extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (pre-XDR TB) will help in the optimization of these drugs for both culture conversion and adverse events. METHODS A prospective cohort of 165 adult patients (56% male with mean [SD] age 29 [9.7] years) with pre-XDR TB was treated with bedaquiline, delamanid, clofazimine, and linezolid for 24 weeks at 5 sites in India. Bedaquiline was administered at 400 mg daily for 2 weeks followed by 200 mg thrice weekly for 22 weeks, whereas delamanid was administered at 100 mg twice daily. In 23 consenting participants at 8 and 16 weeks of treatment, blood was collected at 0, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, and 24 hours postdosing for an intense pharmacokinetic study. Pharmacokinetic parameters were correlated with sputum culture conversion and adverse events. RESULTS The mean (SD) age and weight of patients were 30 (10) years and 54 kg, respectively. The median minimum concentration (Cmin) and time-concentration curve (AUC) for bedaquiline, respectively, were 0.6 mcg/mL and 27 mcg/mL·h at week 8 and 0.8 mcg/mL and 36 mcg/mL·h at week 16, suggesting drug accumulation over time. The median Cmin and AUC of delamanid, respectively, were 0.17 mcg/mL and 5.1 mcg/mL·h at week 8 and 0.20 mcg/mL and 7.5 mcg/mL·h at week 16. Delay in sputum conversion was observed in patients with drug concentrations lower than the targeted concentration. At weeks 8 and 16, 13 adverse events were observed. Adverse events were resolved through symptomatic treatment. Body mass index was found to be significantly associated with drug-exposure parameters. CONCLUSIONS Bedaquiline and delamanid when co-administered exhibit plasma drug levels within the targeted concentrations, showing an exposure-response relationship.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) could improve TB treatment outcomes by avoiding drug toxicity or underdosing. In this study, we describe the patient burden in three TB centres in Romania and Ukraine with a TDM indication, as per the current guidelines, in order to estimate the feasibility of implementing TDM.METHODS: A retrospective multi-centre study was conducted at the Iasi Lung Hospital (Iasi, Romania), Bucharest Marius Nasta Institute (Bucharest, Romania) and Chernivtsi TB Centre (Chernivtsi, Ukraine) in adult hospitalised TB patients.RESULTS: A total of 927 participants were admitted, of whom 37.8% had at least one indication for TDM, the most frequent being slow response to TB treatment (202/345, 58.6%); 55.5% had at least one cavity present on chest X-ray. Patients with a TDM indication stayed in the hospital for a median of 67 days and took on average 2 months more to reach a successful TB outcome.CONCLUSION: TDM could be a valuable tool to improve management of selected TB patients. The decision on whether to perform TDM is often delayed by 2 months due to waiting for culture results after treatment initiation. A randomised control trial should be performed in order to define TDM's precise role in TB therapy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The burden of Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) lung disease is increasing globally and treatment outcome is in general poor. Therapeutic drug monitoring has the potential to improve treatment outcome by ensuring adequate drug exposure. However, very limited population-based studies exist for MAC lung disease. This study aims to describe the distribution of drug exposure for key antimycobacterial drugs at population level, and to analyse them in relationship to treatment outcome in patients with MAC lung disease. METHODS AND ANALYSIS A prospective cohort aiming to include 100 adult patients diagnosed with and treated for MAC lung disease will be conducted in Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital, China. Blood samples will be collected after 1 month MAC treatment for measurement of macrolides, rifamycin, ethambutol, amikacin and/or fluoroquinolones, using a validated liquid-chromatography tandem mass spectrometry method. Respiratory samples will be collected at inclusion and once every 3 months for mycobacterial culture until treatment completion. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) determination will be performed using a commercial broth microdilution plate. In addition to mycobacterial culture, disease severity and clinical improvement will be assessed from the perspective of lung function, radiological presentation and self-reported quality of life. Whole genome sequencing will be performed for any longitudinal isolates with significant change of MIC to explore the emergence of drug resistance-conferring mutations. The relationship between drug exposure and treatment outcome will be analysed and potential confounders will be considered for adjustment in multivariable models. Meanwhile, the associations between drug exposure in relation to MIC and markers of treatment response will be explored using Cox proportional hazards or binary logistic regression models, as appropriate. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION This study has been approved by the ethics committee of Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital (No. K22-149Z). Written and oral informed consent will be obtained from all participants. The study results will be submitted to a peer-reviewed journal. TRIAL REGISTERATION NUMBER NCT05824988.

Abstract
Pyrazinamide (PZA) is a first-line antituberculosis drug with potent sterilising activity. Variability in drug exposure may translate into suboptimal treatment responses. This systematic review, conducted according to PRISMA guidelines, aimed to evaluate the concentration-effect relationship. In vitro/in vivo studies had to contain information on the infection model, PZA dose and concentration, and microbiological outcome. Human studies had to present information on PZA dose, measures of drug exposure and maximum concentration, and microbiological response parameter or overall treatment outcome. A total of 34 studies were assessed, including in vitro (n = 2), in vivo (n = 3) and clinical studies (n = 29). Intracellular and extracellular models demonstrated a direct correlation between PZA dose of 15-50 mg/kg/day and reduction in bacterial count between 0.50-27.7 log10 CFU/mL. Consistent with this, higher PZA doses (>150 mg/kg) were associated with a greater reduction in bacterial burden in BALB/c mice models. Human pharmacokinetic studies displayed a linear positive correlation between PZA dose (i.e. 21.4-35.7 mg/kg/day) and drug exposure (AUC range 220.6-514.5 mg·h/L). Additionally, human studies confirmed a dose-effect relationship, with an increased 2-month sputum culture conversion rate at AUC/MIC targets of 8.4-11.3 with higher exposure/susceptibility ratios leading to greater efficacy. A 5-fold variability in AUC was observed at PZA dose of 25 mg/kg. A direct concentration-effect relationship and increased treatment efficacy with higher PZA exposure to susceptibility ratios was observed. Taking into account variability in drug exposure and treatment response, further studies on dose optimisation are justified.

Abstract
Although cycloserine is a recommended drug for the treatment of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) according to World Health Organization (WHO), few studies have reported on pharmacokinetics (PK) and/or pharmacodynamics (PD) data of cycloserine in patients with standardized MDR-TB treatment. This study aimed to estimate the population PK parameters for cycloserine and to identify clinically relevant PK/PD thresholds, as well as to evaluate the current recommended dosage. Data from a large cohort with full PK curves was used to develop a population PK model. This model was used to estimate drug exposure in patients with MDR-TB from a multicentre prospective study in China. The classification and regression tree was used to identify the clinically relevant PK/PD thresholds. Probability of target attainment was analyzed to evaluate the currently recommended dosing strategy. Cycloserine was best described by a two-compartment disposition model. A percentage of time concentration above MICs (T>MIC) of 30% and a ratio of area under drug concentration-time curve (AUC0-24h) over MIC of 36 were the valid predictors for 6-month sputum culture conversion and final treatment outcome. Simulations showed that with WHO-recommended doses (500 mg and 750 mg for patients weighing <45 kg and ≥45 kg), the probability of target attainment exceeded 90% at MIC ≤16 mg/L in MGIT for both T>MIC of 30% and AUC0-24h/MIC of 36. New clinically relevant PK/PD thresholds for cycloserine were identified in patients with standardized MDR-TB treatment. WHO-recommended doses were considered adequate for the MGIT MIC distribution in our cohort of Chinese patients with MDR-TB.

Abstract
Aims: Bedaquiline is now recommended to all patients in the treatment of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) using standard dosing regimens. As the ability to measure blood drug concentrations is very limited, little is known about drug exposure and treatment outcome. Thus, this study aimed to model the population pharmacokinetics as well as to evaluate the currently recommended dosage.Methodology: A bedaquiline population pharmacokinetic (PK) model was developed based on samples collected from the development cohort before and 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 18, and 24 h after drug intake on week 2 and week 4 of treatment. In a prospective validation cohort of patients with MDR-TB, treated with bedaquiline-containing standardized regimen, drug exposure was assessed using the developed population PK model and thresholds were identified by relating to 2-month and 6-month sputum culture conversion and final treatment outcome using classification and regression tree analysis. In an exploratory analysis by the probability of target attainment (PTA) analysis, we evaluated the recommended dosage at different MIC levels by Middlebrook 7H11 agar dilution (7H11).Results: Bedaquiline pharmacokinetic data from 55 patients with MDR-TB were best described by a three-compartment model with dual zero-order input. Body weight was a covariate of the clearance and the central volume of distribution, albumin was a covariate of the clearance. In the validation cohort, we enrolled 159 patients with MDR-TB. The 7H11 MIC mode (range) of bedaquiline was 0.06 mg (0.008–0.25 mg/L). The study participants with AUC0-24h/MIC above 175.5 had a higher probability of culture conversion after 2-month treatment (adjusted relative risk, aRR:16.4; 95%CI: 5.3–50.4). Similarly, those with AUC0-24h/MIC above 118.2 had a higher probability of culture conversion after 6-month treatment (aRR:20.1; 95%CI: 2.9–139.4), and those with AUC0-24h/MIC above 74.6 had a higher probability of successful treatment outcome (aRR:9.7; 95%CI: 1.5–64.8). Based on the identified thresholds, simulations showed that the WHO recommended dosage (400 mg once daily for 14 days followed by 200 mg thrice weekly) resulted in PTA >90% for the majority of isolates (94%; MICs ≤0.125 mg/L).Conclusion: We established a population PK model for bedaquiline in patients with MDR-TB in China. Based on the thresholds and MIC distribution derived in a clinical study, the recommended dosage of bedaquiline is sufficient for the treatment of MDR-TB.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Quantifying exposure to drugs for personalized dose adjustment is of critical importance in patients with tuberculosis who may be at risk of treatment failure or toxicity due to individual variability in pharmacokinetics. Traditionally, serum or plasma samples have been used for drug monitoring, which only poses collection and logistical challenges in high-tuberculosis burden/low-resourced areas. Less invasive and lower cost tests using alternative biomatrices other than serum or plasma may improve the feasibility of therapeutic drug monitoring. METHODS A systematic review was conducted to include studies reporting anti-tuberculosis drug concentration measurements in dried blood spots, urine, saliva, and hair. Reports were screened to include study design, population, analytical methods, relevant pharmacokinetic parameters, and risk of bias. RESULTS A total of 75 reports encompassing all four biomatrices were included. Dried blood spots reduced the sample volume requirement and cut shipping costs whereas simpler laboratory methods to test the presence of drug in urine can allow point-of-care testing in high-burden settings. Minimal pre-processing requirements with saliva samples may further increase acceptability for laboratory staff. Multi-analyte panels have been tested in hair with the capacity to test a wide range of drugs and some of their metabolites. CONCLUSIONS Reported data were mostly from small-scale studies and alternative biomatrices need to be qualified in large and diverse populations for the demonstration of feasibility in operational settings. High-quality interventional studies will improve the uptake of alternative biomatrices in guidelines and accelerate implementation in programmatic tuberculosis treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Mycobacterium kansasii pulmonary disease is frequently misdiagnosed and treated as tuberculosis, especially in countries with high tuberculosis burden. This study aimed to investigate the drug resistance profile of M.kansasii in patients with M.kansasii pulmonary disease in Shanghai and to determine the variations in drug resistance after 2 months of antimycobacterial treatment. METHODS All patients with a diagnosis of M.kansasii pulmonary disease from 2017 to 2019 in Shanghai were retrospectively analysed. Whole-genome sequencing was performed, and the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) to antimycobacterial drugs was measured using the broth microdilution method. RESULTS In total, 191 patients had a diagnosis of M.kansasii pulmonary disease. Of them, 24.1% (46/191) had persistent positive culture after 2 months of antimycobacterial treatment. Whole-genome sequencing revealed that the 46 paired isolates had a difference of <17 single nucleotide polymorphisms, thus excluding the possibility of exogenous reinfection. More than 90% of the baseline isolates were sensitive to rifampin, clarithromycin, moxifloxacin, or amikacin, whereas a high resistance to ethambutol (118/191, 61.8%) and 4 μg/mL of isoniazid (32/191, 16.8%) were observed. Two isolates presented high resistance to rifamycin (i.e. a rifampin MIC of >8 μg/mL and a rifabutin MIC of 8 μg/mL) both containing the rpoB mutation (S454L). The increase of MIC to rifampin, ethambutol, and/or isoniazid was identified in 50.0% (23/46) of the patients. DISCUSSION A high prevalence of innate resistance to ethambutol and isoniazid was observed among circulating M.kansasii clinical strains in Shanghai. The increase in drug resistance under empirical antimycobacterial treatment highlighted the urgency of definitive species identification before initiating treatment.

Abstract
Background: The pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) target derived from the hollow-fiber system model for linezolid for treatment of the multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) requires clinical validation. Therefore, this study aimed to develop a population PK model for linezolid when administered as part of a standardized treatment regimen, to identify the PK/PD threshold associated with successful treatment outcomes and to evaluate currently recommended linezolid doses. Method: This prospective multi-center cohort study of participants with laboratory-confirmed MDR-TB was conducted in five TB designated hospitals. The population PK model for linezolid was built using nonlinear mixed-effects modeling using data from 168 participants. Boosted classification and regression tree analyses (CART) were used to identify the ratio of 0- to 24-h area under the concentration-time curve (AUC0-24h) to the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) threshold using the BACTEC MGIT 960 method associated with successful treatment outcome and validated in multivariate analysis using data from a different and prospective cohort of 159 participants with MDR-TB. Furthermore, based on the identified thresholds, the recommended doses were evaluated by the probability of target attainment (PTA) analysis. Result: Linezolid plasma concentrations (1008 samples) from 168 subjects treated with linezolid, were best described by a 2-compartment model with first-order absorption and elimination. An AUC0-24h/MIC > 125 was identified as a threshold for successful treatment outcome. Median time to sputum culture conversion between the group with AUC0-24h/MIC above and below 125 was 2 versus 24 months; adjusted hazard ratio (aHR), 21.7; 95% confidence interval (CI), (6.4, 72.8). The boosted CART-derived threshold and its relevance to the final treatment outcome was comparable to the previously suggested target of AUC0-24h/MIC (119) using MGIT MICs in a hollow fiber infection model. Based on the threshold from the present study, at a standard linezolid dose of 600 mg daily, PTA was simulated to achieve 100% at MGIT MICs of ≤ .25 mg which included the majority (81.1%) of isolates in the study. Conclusion: We validated an AUC0-24h/MIC threshold which may serve as a target for dose adjustment to improve efficacy of linezolid in a bedaquiline-containing treatment. Linezolid exposures with the WHO-recommended dose (600 mg daily) was sufficient for all the M. tb isolates with MIC ≤ .25 mg/L.

Abstract
There has been an increased interest in pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics (PKPD) of anti-tuberculosis drugs. A better understanding of the relationship between drug exposure, antimicrobial kill and acquired drug resistance is essential not only to optimize current treatment regimens but also to design appropriately dosed regimens with new anti-tuberculosis drugs. Although the interest in PKPD has resulted in an increased number of studies, the actual bench-to-bedside translation is somewhat limited. One of the reasons could be differences in methodologies and outcome assessments that makes it difficult to compare the studies. In this paper we summarize most relevant in vitro, in vivo, in silico and human PKPD studies performed to optimize the drug dose and regimens for treatment of tuberculosis. The in vitro assessment focuses on MIC determination, static time-kill kinetics, and dynamic hollow fibre infection models to investigate acquisition of resistance and killing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis populations in various metabolic states. The in vivo assessment focuses on the various animal models, routes of infection, PK at the site of infection, PD read-outs, biomarkers and differences in treatment outcome evaluation (relapse and death). For human PKPD we focus on early bactericidal activity studies and inclusion of PK and therapeutic drug monitoring in clinical trials. Modelling and simulation approaches that are used to evaluate and link the different data types will be discussed. We also describe the concept of different studies, study design, importance of uniform reporting including microbiological and clinical outcome assessments, and modelling approaches. We aim to encourage researchers to consider methods of assessing and reporting PKPD of anti-tuberculosis drugs when designing studies. This will improve appropriate comparison between studies and accelerate the progress in the field.

Abstract
Tuberculosis is a chronic and lethal infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. In previous decades, most studies in this area focused on the pathogenesis and drug targets for disease treatments. However, the emergence of drug-resistant strains has increased the difficulty of clinical trials over time. Now, more post-translational modified proteins in Mycobacterium tuberculosis have been discovered. Evidence suggests that these proteins have the ability to influence tuberculosis drug resistance. Hence, this paper systematically summarizes updated research on the impacts of protein acylation and phosphorylation on the acquisition of drug resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis through acylation and phosphorylation protein regulating processes. This provides us with a better understanding of the mechanism of antituberculosis drugs and may contribute to a reduction the harm that tuberculosis brings to society, as well as aiding in the discovery of new drug targets and therapeutic regimen adjustments in the future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: The aim of these clinical standards is to provide guidance on 'best practice´ for diagnosis, treatment and management of drug-susceptible pulmonary TB (PTB).METHODS: A panel of 54 global experts in the field of TB care, public health, microbiology, and pharmacology were identified; 46 participated in a Delphi process. A 5-point Likert scale was used to score draft standards. The final document represents the broad consensus and was approved by all 46 participants.RESULTS: Seven clinical standards were defined: Standard 1, all patients (adult or child) who have symptoms and signs compatible with PTB should undergo investigations to reach a diagnosis; Standard 2, adequate bacteriological tests should be conducted to exclude drug-resistant TB; Standard 3, an appropriate regimen recommended by WHO and national guidelines for the treatment of PTB should be identified; Standard 4, health education and counselling should be provided for each patient starting treatment; Standard 5, treatment monitoring should be conducted to assess adherence, follow patient progress, identify and manage adverse events, and detect development of resistance; Standard 6, a recommended series of patient examinations should be performed at the end of treatment; Standard 7, necessary public health actions should be conducted for each patient. We also identified priorities for future research into PTB.CONCLUSION: These consensus-based clinical standards will help to improve patient care by guiding clinicians and programme managers in planning and implementation of locally appropriate measures for optimal person-centred treatment for PTB.

Abstract
Tuberculosis remains one of the leading causes of death by a communicable agent, infecting up to one-quarter of the world's population, predominantly in disadvantaged communities. Pharmacometrics employs quantitative mathematical models to describe the relationships between pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, and to predict drug doses, exposures, and responses. Pharmacometric approaches have provided a scientific basis for improved dosing of antituberculosis drugs and concomitantly administered antiretrovirals at the population level. The development of modelling frameworks including physiologically-based pharmacokinetics, quantitative systems pharmacology and machine learning provides an opportunity to extend the role of pharmacometrics to in silico quantification of drug-drug interactions, prediction of doses for special populations, dose optimization and individualization, and understanding the complex exposure-response relationships of multidrug regimens in terms of both efficacy and safety, informing regimen design for future study. In this short clinically-focused review, we explore what has been done, and what opportunities exist for pharmacometrics to impact tuberculosis pharmacotherapy.
