Efficacy and safety of the all-oral bedaquiline-containing regimen as treatment for pediatric multidrug/rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis : a multicenter, retrospective, cohort study

OBJECTIVE: The study aimed to observe the efficacy and safety of an all-oral bedaquiline (BDQ)-containing regimen for pediatric multidrug/rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis (MDR/RR-TB) through a multicenter, retrospective study in China.

METHODS: In the study, pediatric patients receiving all-oral BDQ-containing regimen (BDQ group) with clinical matched control group were included, the control group received an injection-containing regimen. The treatment outcomes and the incidence of adverse events (AEs) were compared and analyzed.

RESULTS: 79 pediatric patients were enrolled, including 37 cases in BDQ group and 42 cases in the control group, the median age was 12 {8-16} and 11 {9-15} in both groups respectively. Favorable treatment outcome and cure rate in BDQ group were significantly higher than those in control group (100%vs 83.3%, p 0.03; 94.6%vs 63.3%, p 0.00). Median time of sputum culture conversion in BDQ group was significantly shorter than that in the control group (4 weeks vs 8 weeks, p 0.00). The incidence of AEs in the BDQ group was significantly less than that in the control group (48.6% vs 71.4%, p 0.03). No AEs leading to treatment discontinuation of BDQ occurred.

CONCLUSIONS: The all-oral BDQ-containing regimens may be effective and safe in the Chinese pediatric population.
