Abstract
Objectives The purpose of this study is to describe the current situation and forecast the trends of co-infection between the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and drug-susceptible tuberculosis (DS-TB) in different countries, across various age groups and genders. Methods We obtained data on the number of cases, age-standardized incidence rate, age-standardized prevalence rate, age-standardized rate of disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), and age-standardized death rate from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2019 database. These data were used to describe the distribution and burden of co-infection between the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and DS-TB in different regions, genders, and age groups. We employed joinpoint regression analysis to analyze the temporal trends from 1990 to 2019. Additionally, an age-period-cohort model was established to forecast the future trends of co-infection up to 2040. Results The prevalence and burden of co-infection varied across different age groups and genders. The territories with the higher disease burden were distributed in some Asian and African countries. In terms of temporal trends, the age-standardized incidence rate and age-standardized prevalence rate of HIV and DS-TB co-infection exhibited an overall increasing trend from 1990 to 2019, and the prediction indicated a slow downward trend from 2019 to 2040. Conclusions The co-infection of HIV and DS-TB posed a grave threat to public health and economic development. What's more, there existed a significant disparity between the actual state of co-infection and the desired goals for prevention and control.

Optimizing (O) rifapentine-based (RI) regimen and shortening (EN) the treatment of drug-susceptible tuberculosis (T) (ORIENT) using an adaptive seamless design: study protocol of a multicenter randomized controlled trial.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Standard treatment for drug-susceptible tuberculosis (DS-TB) includes a multidrug regimen requiring at least 6 months of treatment, and this lengthy treatment easily leads to poor adherence. There is an urgent need to simplify and shorten treatment regimens to reduce interruption and adverse event rates, improve compliance, and reduce costs. METHODS ORIENT is a multicenter, randomized controlled, open-label, phase II/III, non-inferiority trial involving DS-TB patients to evaluate the safety and efficacy of short-term regimens compared with the standardized six-month treatment regimen. In stage 1, corresponding to a phase II trial, a total of 400 patients are randomly divided into four arms, stratified by site and the presence of lung cavitation. Investigational arms include 3 short-term regimens with rifapentine 10 mg/kg, 15 mg/kg, and 20 mg/kg, while the control arm uses the standardized six-month treatment regimen. A combination of rifapentine, isoniazid, pyrazinamide, and moxifloxacin is administered for 17 or 26 weeks in rifapentine arms, while a 26-week regimen containing rifampicin, isoniazid, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol is applied in the control arm. After the safety and preliminary effectiveness analysis of patients in stage 1, the control arm and the investigational arm meeting the conditions will enter into stage 2, which is equivalent to a phase III trial and will be expanded to recruit DS-TB patients. If all investigational arms do not meet the safety conditions, stage 2 will be canceled. In stage 1, the primary safety endpoint is permanent regimen discontinuation at 8 weeks after the first dose. The primary efficacy endpoint is the proportion of favorable outcomes at 78 weeks after the first dose for both two stages. DISCUSSION This trial will contribute to the optimal dose of rifapentine in the Chinese population and suggest the feasibility of the short-course treatment regimen containing high-dose rifapentine and moxifloxacin for DS-TB. TRIAL REGISTRATION The trial has been registered on ClinicalTrials.gov on 28 May 2022 with the identifier NCT05401071.

Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) is the leading infectious cause of mortality worldwide. Despite the development of different antituberculosis drugs, managing resistant mycobacteria is still challenging. The discovery of novel drugs and new methods of targeted drug delivery have the potential to improve treatment outcomes, lower the duration of treatment, and reduce adverse events. Following bedaquiline and delamanid, pretomanid is the third medicine approved as part of a novel drug regimen for treating drug-resistant TB. It is a promising drug that has the capacity to shape TB treatment and achieve the End TB strategy set by the World Health Organization. The effectiveness of pretomanid has been reported in different observational and clinical studies. However, long-term safety data in humans are not yet available and the pretomanid-based regimen is recommended under an operational research framework that prohibits its wider and programmatic use. Further research is needed before pretomanid can be celebrated as a promising candidate for the treatment of different categories of TB and specific patients. This review covers the update on pretomanid development and its clinical roles in treating Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the minimum level of heteroresistance that predicts poor tuberculosis treatment outcomes. This retrospective study enrolled 45 new tuberculosis patients with varied treatment outcomes and 16 drug-susceptible retreatment cases. Pretreatment isolates from these 61 patients were whole genome sequenced to detect heteroresistance. Heteroresistance was not found in isolates from any of the new patients, but was detected in isolates from retreatment patients who were nevertheless cured. The results of our small series of patients suggest that heteroresistance <1%, the threshold used to define resistance with the phenotypic proportion method, is not associated with poor treatment outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To analyze the treatment success rate (TSR = sum of cured or treatment completed) in the tuberculosis (TB) program for drug-susceptible TB (DS-TB) at the "Centre Hospitalier Régional Spécialisé" in Macenta, Forest Region, Republic of Guinea. METHODS This cohort study included patients who started treatment for DS-TB between 2010 and 2017. Data collection was part of the documentation for the national TB program. Descriptive analysis was applied to determine the TSR in various patient groups. Further, logistic regression was performed to determine factors influencing the TSR in new and relapsed cases versus all other previously treated cases. A subgroup analysis for only microbiologically confirmed pulmonary TB was added. RESULTS The study included 3969 patients. The TSR increased from 68.3% in 2010 to 80.8% in 2017 (p < 0.001). Mortality (11.2%) mainly occurred in early treatment months, while loss to follow-up (5.9%) increased towards later treatment months. Risk factors for low TSR were advanced age, positive HIV status, long travel distances (>100 km) to the clinic, and late treatment refill. CONCLUSION The TSR in the Forest Region of Guinea remained below the WHO goal of 90%. Reaching this target remains a challenge in rural areas with high early mortality and increased risk of loss to follow-up.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Despite broad uptake of antiretroviral therapy (ART), tuberculosis (TB) incidence and mortality among people with HIV remain unacceptably high. Short-course regimens for TB, incorporating both novel and established drugs, offer the potential to enhance adherence and completion rates, thereby reducing the global TB burden. This review will outline short-course regimens for TB among patients with HIV. RECENT FINDINGS After many years without new agents, there is now active testing of many novel drugs to treat TB, both for latent infection and active disease. Though not all studies have included patients with HIV, many have, and there are ongoing trials to address key implementation challenges such as potent drug-drug interactions with ART. The goal of short-course regimens for TB is to enhance treatment completion without compromising efficacy. Particularly among patients with HIV, studying these shortened regimens and integrating them into clinical care are of urgent importance. There are now multiple short-course regimens for latent infection and active disease that are safe and effective among patients with HIV.
