Brief Summary

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

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, active-controlled Phase III study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Sudapyridine (WX-081) combined with a background regimen (BR) in patients with rifampicin-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis.

Approximately 450 participants will be screened over a period of up to 2 weeks and randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive either Sudapyridine or bedaquiline, in combination with placebo tablets and BR, for 24 weeks. After the treatment period, participants will enter a background regimen period up to Week 72, during which they will continue to receive BR.

A subset of participants will be included in the C-QT sub-study to assess intensive PK sampling and 12-lead ECG evaluations on Day 1 pre-dose, Day 14, and Week 24.

The study aims to provide robust data to support the use of Sudapyridine as a treatment option for rifampicin-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis.

Detailed Description

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

This Phase III clinical study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Sudapyridine (WX-081) in combination with a background regimen (BR) for the treatment of rifampicin-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis. The study will be conducted at multiple centers, employing a randomized, double-blind, active-controlled design.

The study will consist of three phases:

Screening Phase:

Duration: Up to 2 weeks. Approximately 450 participants with rifampicin-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis will be screened for eligibility.

Treatment Phase:

Participants will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio into two groups:

1. Sudapyridine Group: Sudapyridine (WX-081) with placebo and BR.
2. Bedaquiline Group: Bedaquiline with placebo and BR. Treatment duration: 24 weeks.

Background Regimen Phase:

After completing the treatment phase, participants in both groups will continue to receive the background regimen (BR) until Week 72.

The study aims to test the hypothesis that Sudapyridine (WX-081), when combined with a background regimen, is effective and safe for treating rifampicin-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis. The data collected from this study will include primary and secondary endpoints related to efficacy and safety, PK/PD data, and cardiac safety evaluations.

The sample size of approximately 450 participants is designed to provide adequate power to detect a statistically significant difference in outcomes between treatment groups. Comprehensive data validation procedures and a robust statistical analysis plan will ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results.

Study Groups

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

Sudapyridine (WX-081) Group

Participants in this group will receive Sudapyridine (WX-081) combined with background regimen (BR). Treatment starts with a loading dose of Sudapyridine for 2 weeks (450 mg once daily for 7 days, followed by 300 mg once daily for 7 days). This is followed by a maintenance dose of 150 mg once daily from Week 3 to Week 24. During the 24-week treatment period, participants will also receive a placebo for bedaquiline and continue their background regimen (BR). After the 24-week treatment period, participants will enter the background regimen phase and continue BR until Week 72.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Sudapyridine

Intervention Type DRUG

Sudapyridine (WX-081) will be administered as a loading dose for 2 weeks (450 mg once daily for 7 days, followed by 300 mg once daily for 7 days) and a maintenance dose (150 mg once daily) from Week 3 to Week 24. The intervention is combined with background regimen (BR) and placebo for bedaquiline.

Bedaquiline Group

Participants in this group will receive Bedaquiline combined with background regimen (BR). Treatment starts with a loading dose of Bedaquiline for 2 weeks (400 mg once daily), followed by a maintenance dose of 200 mg three times per week (with at least 48 hours between doses) from Week 3 to Week 24. During the 24-week treatment period, participants will also receive a placebo for Sudapyridine and continue their background regimen (BR). After the 24-week treatment period, participants will enter the background regimen phase and continue BR until Week 72.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Bedaquiline

Intervention Type DRUG

Bedaquiline will be administered as a loading dose for 2 weeks (400 mg once daily) and a maintenance dose (200 mg three times per week, with at least 48 hours between doses) from Week 3 to Week 24. The intervention is combined with background regimen (BR) and placebo for Sudapyridine.
