Sponsor's own description
Hypotheses: Rifapentine (given as water-dispersible monolayer and/or fixed dose combination with isoniazid) dosing in HIV-infected and uninfected children ≤ 12 years of age with latent TB infection (LTBI) or with exposure to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) will require higher mg/kg rifapentine dosing than adults to achieve adult- exposures which are correlated with efficacy in trials of TB prevention. Investigators further hypothesize that rifapentine will be safe and well-tolerated in HIV-infected and uninfected children who require treatment for LTBI.
