Geometric mean ratios of rifabutin and 25-O-desacetylrifabutin parameters with and without antiretroviral therapy

GMR (90% CI)
RBT 150 mg tiw with RBT 300 mg daily RBT 150 mg tiw with RBT 150 mg daily RBT 150 mg daily with RBT 300 mg daily
AUC0–24 0.8 (0.7 – 0.9) 0.4 (0.5 – 0.5) 1.6 (1.4 – 1.9)
AUC0–48* 0.6 (0.5 – 0.7) 0.4 (0.4 – 0.4) n/a
Cmax(ng/mL) 0.5 (0.4 – 0.6) 0.5 (0.5 – 0.6) 1.0 (0.9 – 1.0)
C0(ng/mL) 0.7 (0.5 – 0.9) 0.2 (0.1 – 0.3) 3.4 (3.7 – 3.1)

*calculated by 2 times the AUC0–24 for the RBT 300 mg daily and RBT 150 mg daily arms.

n/a – Not applicable.

GMR – Geometric mean ratio.

90% Cl – 90% confidence interval.

RBT 150 mg tiw – rifabutin dose of 150 mg three times per week (tiw) in combination with lopinavir/ritonavir based ART and isoniazid.

RBT 150 mg daily – rifabutin dose of 150 mg daily in combination with lopinavir/ritonavir based ART and isoniazid.

RBT 300 mg daily – rifabutin dose of 300 mg daily in combination with isoniazid.
