  1. *calculated by 2 times the AUC0–24 for the RBT 300 mg daily and RBT 150 mg daily arms.
  2. n/a – Not applicable.
  3. GMR – Geometric mean ratio.
  4. 90% Cl – 90% confidence interval.
  5. RBT 150 mg tiw – rifabutin dose of 150 mg three times per week (tiw) in combination with lopinavir/ritonavir based ART and isoniazid.
  6. RBT 150 mg daily – rifabutin dose of 150 mg daily in combination with lopinavir/ritonavir based ART and isoniazid.
  7. RBT 300 mg daily – rifabutin dose of 300 mg daily in combination with isoniazid.
