简要概括
Buruli ulcer (BU) is a skin Neglected Tropical Disease (NTD) that is caused by Mycobacterium ulcerans. It affects skin, soft tissues and bones causing long-term morbidity, stigma and disability. The greatest burden falls on children in sub-Saharan Africa. Treating BU requires 8-weeks with daily rifampicin and clarithromycin, wound care, and sometimes tissue grafting and surgery. Healing can take up to one year. Compliance is challenging due to socioeconomic determinants and may pose an unbearable financial burden to the household.

Recent studies led by members of this Consortium demonstrated that beta-lactams combined with rifampicin and clarithromycin are synergistic against M. ulcerans in vitro. Amoxicillin/clavulanate is oral, suitable for treatment in adults and children, and readily available with an established clinical pedigree. Its inclusion in a triple oral BU therapy has the potential of improving healing and shortening BU therapy.

The investigators propose a single blinded, randomized, controlled open label non-inferiority phase II, multi-centre trial in Benin with participants stratified according to BU category lesions and randomized in two oral regimens: (i) Standard [RC8]: rifampicin plus clarithromycin (RC) therapy for 8 weeks; and (ii) Investigational [RCA4]: standard (RC) plus amoxicillin/clavulanate (A) for 4 weeks. At least, a total of 140 patients will be recruited (70 per treatment arm), of which at least 132 will be PCR-confirmed. The primary efficacy outcome will be lesion healing without recurrence and without excision surgery 12 months after start of treatment (i.e. cure). A clinical expert panel assessing the need of excision surgery in both treatment arms will be blinded for treatment allocation in order to make objectives comparisons. Decision for excision surgery will be delayed to 14 weeks after initiation of antibiotic treatment. Secondary clinical efficacy outcomes include recurrence, treatment discontinuation and compliance rates, and the incidence of adverse effects, among others. In addition, two sub-studies will be performed: a pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis and a bacterial clearance study.

If successful, this study will create a new paradigm for BU treatment, which could inform changes in WHO policy and practice. This trial may also provide information on treatment shortening strategies for other mycobacterial infections, such as tuberculosis or leprosy.

阳性对照RC8, Rifampicin plus Clarithromycin for 8 weeks
Rifampicin plus Clarithromycin (RC) therapy for 8 weeks
Standard [RC8]: Rifampicin Plus Clarithromycin (RC) Therapy for 8 Weeks.
Treatment will be rifampicin (600 mg, daily) and clarithromycin (500 mg, twice daily) for 8 weeks. On the posology, dosage for rifampicin and clarithromycin will be standardized according to patient body weight following WHO guidelines. In general, for a 60 kg adult dosage will be RIF, 10 mg/kg once daily and CLA, 7.5 mg/kg twice daily.
实验性RCA4, Rifampicin plus Clarithromycin plus Amoxicillin/clavulanate for 4 weeks.
Rifampicin plus Clarithromycin (RC) plus Amoxicillin/clavulanate (A) for 4 weeks.
Investigational [RCA4]: Standard (RC) Plus Amoxicillin/clavulanate (a) for 4 Weeks.
On the posology, dosage for rifampicin and clarithromycin will be standardized according to patient body weight following WHO guidelines. In general, for a 60 kg adult dosage will be RIF, 10 mg/kg once daily and CLA, 7.5 mg/kg twice daily. Dosages for amoxicillin/clavulanate are calculated according to manufacturer indications: Dose of amoxicillin/clavulanate 1000/125 mg twice daily, which makes a total of 2000/250 mg/day, for patients over 40 kg, and 22.5/5.6 mg/kg twice daily, which makes a total of 45/11.25 mg/kg/day, for those equal and below 40 kg. For children, posology will be adapted to the age of the patient according to drug manufacturer indications. Frequency of AMX/CLV administration will match that of CLA, twice daily.
