Innovating Shorter, All- Oral, Precised, Individualized Treatment Regimen for Rifampicin Resistant Tuberculosis：Contezolid, Delamanid and Bedaquiline Cohort

A Multicenter, Randomized, Open-Label Study To Evaluate The Efficacy And Safety Of A Contezolid, Delamanid and Bedaquiline-Containing Short Regimen For The Treatment Of Rifampicin-Resistant Pulmonary Tuberculosis

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the efficacy and safety of a Contezolid and Delamanid-Containing short regimen to standard longer regimen in Rifampicin-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis (RR-TB). The main questions it aims to answer are:

• Is the efficacy of short regimen non-inferior to standard regimen?
• Is the short regimen safe enough to replace the standard regimen?

Participants will:

• Be given with either short or standard regimen for RR-TB treatment
• Be asked to complete the scheduled visit as planned.

Inclusion criteria:

1. Age ≥18y and <70y when signing informed consent;
2. Initial or re-treatment for pulmonary tuberculosis with:

1) MTB positive in sputum or bronchoalveolar lavage fluid culture at or within 3 months before screening, or MTB positive in molecular test at or within 3 months before screening, and; 2) recorded Rifampicin-resistance at or before screening; 3. Imaging (Chest X-ray or CT scan) proved pulmonary tuberculosis within 1 year before screening; 4. Never used BDQ, DLM or CZD, or the accumulative duration of any of the treatment is not more than 2 weeks 5.
