Brief Summary

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

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major public health issue and one of the top ten causes of death from a single infectious disease worldwide. China is among the countries with the highest TB burden, ranking third globally for total TB cases and second for drug-resistant TB cases. PAN-TB is an innovative concept in TB treatment, aiming to develop a universal regimen effective for all forms of active TB, including both drug-susceptible and drug-resistant strains. The primary goal of the PAN-TB regimen is to simplify the treatment process, reduce costs, and improve treatment success rates. The ideal Target Regimen Profile (TRP) for PAN-TB includes superior efficacy compared to standard treatment for non-drug-resistant TB, a reduced treatment duration from the current 4-6 months to 2-3 months, and improved safety and tolerability. This project aims to explore a new ultra-short-course treatment regimen for both drug-sensitive (DS-TB) and drug-resistant TB (MDR/RR-TB), which aligns with the latest trends in TB treatment both domestically and internationally. The regimen also has significant practical implications for enhancing treatment efficacy and reducing patient burden. Furthermore, the study will explore the identification of new biomarkers closely linked to treatment outcomes over the course of full-cycle therapy.

Study Groups

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

Drug-susceptible TB (A1)

2 months (9 weeks) BLSZ regimen: The treatment involves the use of bedaquiline (B), linezolid (L), sitafloxacin (S), and pyrazinamide (Z) throughout the entire process. At the end of 2 months (9 weeks) of treatment, if the sputum smear is still positive or if clinical symptoms have not improved, the treatment duration can be extended to 13 weeks. After the extended treatment period (3 months or 13 weeks), if the sputum smear remains positive or if clinical symptoms have not been relieved, the patient should be switched to the standard treatment regimen, and the subject should be withdrawn from the study.

6 months (26 weeks) of BPaLM: The treatment involves the use of bedaquiline (B), pretomanid (Pa), linezolid (L), and moxifloxacin (M) throughout the entire course. If the sputum culture remains positive at 4 months, or if clinical symptoms are not relieved by 6 months, or if chest CT results show worsening at 6 months, the treatment may be extended to 9 months. If the patient chooses to withdraw from the study at 6 months, they are allowed to do so.
