Brief Summary

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

This study aims to assess quabodepistat-based treatment regimens for RR/MDR-TB. The study will enroll adults and adolescents with rifampicin-resistant or multidrug-resistant pulmonary TB. The main goal is to see if a new drug called quabodepistat, when combined with other TB drugs, can shorten treatment duration to 4 months and be as effective and safer than current WHO endorsed treatment regimen given for 6-months. The study will compare different drug combinations in two groups of patients: those whose TB is sensitive to fluoroquinolones and those whose TB is resistant to fluoroquinolones. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the new treatment or the standard treatment. The study will last for 16 months for each participant and will measure how well the treatments work and how safe they are.

Detailed Description

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

This is a Phase 3, randomized, open-label, multicenter trial evaluating quabodepistat-containing regimens for rifampicin-resistant/multidrug-resistant (RR/MDR) pulmonary tuberculosis (TB).

The study aims to enroll 532 participants aged 14 years and older.

The study has two main cohorts:

Fluoroquinolone-sensitive RR/MDR-TB (432 participants):

* Experimental arm: BPaQM (bedaquiline, pretomanid, quabodepistat, moxifloxacin) for 4 months
* Control arm: BPaLM (bedaquiline, pretomanid, linezolid, moxifloxacin) for 6 months

Fluoroquinolone-resistant RR/MDR-TB (100 participants):

* Experimental arm: BPaQ (bedaquiline, pretomanid, quabodepistat) for 6 months
* Control arm: BPaL (bedaquiline, pretomanid, linezolid) for 6 months

The primary efficacy endpoint is an unfavorable outcome by 12 months post-randomization.

Secondary endpoints include time to unfavorable outcome, time to sputum culture conversion, and safety/tolerability assessments. Participants will be followed for 16 months post-randomization.

The study will be conducted at approximately 40 sites in up to 12 countries.

An independent Data Monitoring Committee and Endpoint Adjudication Committee will be used in the study.

The trial aims to evaluate if quabodepistat-containing regimens can shorten treatment duration to 4 months for fluoroquinolone-sensitive RR/MDR-TB and provide a safer alternative to linezolid-containing regimens for both fluoroquinolone-sensitive and fluoroquinolone-resistant RR/MDR-TB.
