Oxazolidinone antibiotics such as linezolid have shown significant therapeutic effects in patients with extensively drug-resistant (XDR) tuberculosis (TB) despite modest effects in rodents and no demonstrable early bactericidal activity in human Phase 2 trials. Here, we show that monotherapy with either linezolid or AZD5847, a second-generation oxazolidinone, reduced bacterial load at necropsy in Mycobacterium tuberculosis-infected cynomolgus macaques with active TB. This effect coincided with a decline in FDG PET imaging avidity in the lungs of these animals and with reductions in pulmonary pathology measured by serial CT scans over two months of monotherapy. In a parallel Phase 2 clinical study of linezolid in patients infected with XDR-TB, we also collected PET/CT imaging data from subjects receiving linezolid that had been added to their failing treatment regimens. Quantitative comparisons of PET/CT imaging changes in these human subjects were similar in magnitude to those observed in macaques, demonstrating that the therapeutic effect of these oxazolidinones can be reproduced in this model of experimental chemotherapy. PET/CT imaging may be useful as an early quantitative measure of drug efficacy against TB in human patients. PET/CT imaging in macaques and humans with TB shows a beneficial therapeutic response to linezolid and a new oxazolidinone antibiotic AZD5847. Visualizing Drug Responses in TB A pair of papers by Chen et al. and Coleman et al. investigate how changes in quantitative PET/CT scans in both nonhuman primates and humans can be used as early surrogate markers of treatment efficacy in tuberculosis. The Coleman et al. study shows that treatment of Mtb-infected macaques with linezolid and the second-generation oxazolidinone AZD5847 resulted in a reduced bacterial load at necropsy and reduced FDG PET avidity and CT-quantified lung pathology. Similar PET/CT changes were seen in human patients infected with extensively drug-resistant Mtb and treated with linezolid. The companion study by Chen et al. corroborated this effect in a prospective analysis of patients with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis and demonstrated that early PET/CT changes predicted final treatment outcomes.
