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 compare the efficacy of a 'new treatment regimen including delamanid, linezolid, levofloxacin, and pyrazinamide for nine or twelve months (investigational arm)' and 'the standard treatment regimen including injectables for 20 to 24 months (control arm)' for treating fluoroquinolone-sensitive multidrug-resistant tuberculosis.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study is a phase II/III, multicenter, randomized, open-label clinical trial of non-inferiority design comparing a new regimen to the World Health Organization-endorsed conventional regimen for fluoroquinolone-sensitive MDR-TB. The control arm uses a conventional treatment regimen with second-line drugs including injectables for 20-24 months. The investigational arm uses a new shorter regimen including delamanid, linezolid, levofloxacin, and pyrazinamide for 9 or 12 months depending on time to sputum culture conversion. The primary outcome is the treatment success rate at 24 months after treatment initiation. Secondary outcomes include time to sputum culture conversion on liquid and solid media, proportions of sputum culture conversion on liquid media after 2 and 6 months of treatment, treatment success rate according to pyrazinamide resistance, and occurrence of adverse events grade 3 and above as evaluated by the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events. The population number is calculated as 102 per group (204 in total).

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Control Arm

Regimen is the locally-used WHO-approved MDR-TB regimen in Korea based on 2014 Korean guideline of TB management.

* Intensive phase regimen consists of four effective second-line anti-TB drugs (including injectables) and pyrazinamide.
* Treatment duration: for at least 20 months

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Locally-used WHO-approved MDR-TB regimen in Korea

Intervention Type DRUG

Experimental Arm

Regimen consists of only oral medication using delamanid, linezolid, levofloxacin, and pyrazinamide, for nine or twelve months depending on the time of sputum culture conversion to negative.

* Delamanid (100 mg bid for the entire treatment period)
* Linezolid (600mg/day for 2 months and 300mg/day afterwards until the end of treatment)
* Levofloxacin (750 \~1000 mg/day)
* Pyrazinamide (1000\~ 2000 mg/day)
