Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the mycobactericidal activity, safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of 6 doses of linezolid: 300 mg once per day, 300 mg twice per day, 600 mg once per day, 600 mg twice per day and 1200 mg once per day administered orally for 14 consecutive days or 1200 mg administered three times per week for two weeks in adult subjects with newly diagnosed drug-sensitive, smear-positive pulmonary tuberculosis.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. Provide written, informed consent prior to all trial-related procedures.
2. Male or female, aged between 18 and 75 years inclusive.
3. Body weight (in light clothing and with no shoes) between 35 and 100 kg, inclusive.
4. Drug-sensitive pulmonary Tuberculosis (TB) determined by testing at the trial appointed laboratory: M.tb positive and rifampicin sensitive on molecular test (e.g. GeneXpert or Hain) and sputum smear-positive pulmonary TB on direct microscopy for acid-fast bacilli (at least 1+ on the IUATLD/WHO scale).

1. either newly diagnosed OR
2. untreated for at least 3 years after cure from a previous episode (Subject can give a history of cure and previous treatment); AND

Exclusion Criteria

5. A chest X-Ray which in the opinion of the Investigator is consistent with TB.
6. Ability to produce an adequate volume of sputum as estimated from a screening Coached Spot Sputum Sample assessment (estimated 10 ml or more overnight production).
7. Be of non-childbearing potential or using effective methods of birth control, as defined below:

Non-childbearing potential:

1. Subject - not heterosexually active or practices sexual abstinence; OR
2. Female Subject/sexual partner - bilateral oophorectomy, bilateral tubal ligation and/or hysterectomy or has been postmenopausal with a history of no menses for at least 12 consecutive months; OR
3. Male Subject/sexual partner - vasectomised or has had a bilateral orchidectomy minimally three months prior to screening;

Effective birth control methods:

A double contraceptive method should be used as follows:

1. Double barrier method which can include any 2 of the following: a male condom, diaphragm, cervical cap, or female condom (male and female condoms should not be used together); OR
2. Barrier method (one of the above) combined with hormone-based contraceptives or an intra-uterine device for the female Subject/partner; AND
3. Are willing to continue practicing one of the above mentioned birth control methods throughout treatment and for 1 month (both male and female Subjects) after the last dose of study medication or discontinuation from study medication in case of premature discontinuation.

Subjects will be excluded from participation if they meet any of the following criteria.

Medical Criteria

1. Evidence of clinically significant (as judged by the Investigator), metabolic, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, ophthalmological, pulmonary, neurological, psychiatric or endocrine diseases, malignancy, or other abnormalities (other than the indication being studied) including malaria.

A rapid test for malaria may be carried out if indicated.
2. Poor general condition where any delay in treatment cannot be tolerated per discretion of the Investigator.

15. Concomitant use of monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) or prior use within 1 month of screening.
16. Concomitant use of serotonergic agents including SSRI/SNRI antidepressants or prior use within 3 days of screening should be avoided if possible as subjects on these agents and linezolid are at risk for serotonin syndrome.
17. Treatment with any drug active against M.tb within 3 months prior to Day 1 (including but not limited to isoniazid, ethambutol, amikacin, bedaquiline, clofazimine, cycloserine, fluoroquinolones, rifabutin, rifampicin, streptomycin, kanamycin, para-aminosalicylic acid, rifapentine, pyrazinamide, thioacetazone, capreomycin, thioamides, metronidazole).

Based on Laboratory Abnormalities:

1. creatinine grade 2 or greater \[\>1.5 x Upper Limit of Normal (ULN)\];
2. hemoglobin level of \<8.0 gm/dL;
3. platelet count \<80,000/mm3;
4. absolute neutrophil count \<1000/mm3
5. serum potassium, serum magnesium and calcium (corrected for albumin) levels less than the lower limit of normal for the laboratory;
6. aspartate aminotransferase (AST) grade 3 or greater (≥3.0 x ULN) to be excluded;
7. alanine aminotransferase (ALT) grade 3 or greater (≥3.0 x ULN) to be excluded;
8. alkaline phosphatase (ALP) grade 4 (\>8.0 x ULN) to be excluded, grade 3 (≥3.0 - 8.0 x ULN) must be discussed with and approved by the Sponsor Medical Monitor;
9. total bilirubin grade 3 or greater (≥2.0 x ULN, or ≥1.50 x ULN when accompanied by any increase in other liver function test) to be excluded, grade 2 (≥1.50 x ULN, or ≥1.25 x ULN when accompanied by any increase in other liver function test) must be discussed with and approved by the Sponsor Medical Monitor;

Any laboratory value which excludes the Subject may be repeated to confirm eligibility.
