This study will assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of pravastatin adjunctive therapy when combined with the standard TB treatment regimen in adults with drug-sensitive TB. The pharmacokinetic data for pravastatin will be used to choose a dose to be studied as adjunctive TB treatment in subsequent trials.~This study is a dose-escalation trial, and participants will be sequentially enrolled into four study arms. Participants will receive standard anti-TB therapy (Rifafour) and pravastatin daily for 14 days. Pravastatin will be given alone on Day 1, and pravastatin + Rifafour will be given on Days 2-15.~Total study duration for participants will be 30 days, during which time participants will attend several study visits. Study visits may include sputum specimen collection, blood and urine collection, lung function testing, and pharmacokinetic assessments. All study participants will be referred appropriately to continue standard TB treatment at study completion.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of pravastatin adjunctive therapy when combined with the standard tuberculosis (TB) treatment regimen in adults with TB.
