Update on the revision of ART guidelines for TB patients Delphine Sculier, MD,MPH Stop TB Department World Health Organisation Geneva, Switzerland
Outline of presentation • Critical ART issues that were reviewed • Process of drafting recommendations • Main changes from 2006 to 2010 • Recommendations for HIV-infected TB patients • Conclusions
WHO ART treatment guidelines –the critical issues being reviewed How to diagnose earlier? • Critical patient & public health important outcomes: • Mortality • Disease progression (morbidity) • Severe or regimen limiting adverse events • Adherence & retention on ART • Durability of regimen effect • Reduction of HIV transmission • Cost How to monitor? When to Start? What to Use 1st Line? What to use- 2nd Line? Third line ?
Drafting Recommendations and Risk Benefit Analysis • Systematic reviews and GRADE profiles • Impact assessment reports • PLWH consultation reports • Costing and feasibility analysis DRAFT RECOMMENDATIONS VALIDATION BY REVIEW GROUPS FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS
Laboratory monitoring WHO 2006 Proposed WHO 2010
Recommendations for HIV infected TB patients When to start? What to start?
Grade review: When to start ART in HIV-infected TB patients? SAPiT: Optimal Time to Initiate ART in HIV/TB-Coinfected Patients Early ART ART initiated during intensive or continuation phase of TB therapy (n = 429) HIV-infected patients diagnosed with TB and CD4+ cell count < 500 cells/mm3 (N = 642) Sequential ART ART initiated after TB therapy completed (n = 213) Primary endpoint: all-cause mortality From Larry William Chang, MD, MPH, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Cochrane Collaborative Group on HIV/AIDS at UCSF

WHO 2009 Proposed Recommendations on When to Start & What to Use in TB/HIV
WHO 2009 Proposed Recommendations on When to Start & What to Use in TB/HIV (ctd)
Conclusions • Trends: • Encourage earlier diagnosis • Treat earlier • Promote less toxic/ more friendly regimens • Monitor more strategically • Will cost more • The major operational question is not if these recommendations should be followed or not, but how to do it safely and with equity • For TB/HIV, the panel placed high value on the reduction of the current high level of mortality from HIV/TB co-infection and the positive impact on TB transmission and prevalence of initiating ART in all HIV infected individuals with TB in developing these recommendations.
