A Phase 2b, Randomised, Multi-center, Partially Blinded Trial Assessing the Safety and Efficacy of Regimens Containing Sorfequiline, Pretomanid and Linezolid in Adults With Newly Diagnosed, Drug-sensitive, Smear Positive Pulmonary Tuberculosis
A Phase 2b, Randomised, Multi-center, Partially Blinded Trial Assessing the Safety and Efficacy of Regimens Containing Sorfequiline, Pretomanid and Linezolid in Adults With Newly Diagnosed, Drug-sensitive, Smear Positive Pulmonary Tuberculosis
The goal of this interventional trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the loading dose regimen 200/100SPaL-4/13 weeks, and the 100SPaL -17 weeks regimen in adults with newly diagnosed, drug-sensitive, smear-positive pulmonary tuberculosis.
Participants (18-65 years) will be randomised 1:1, stratified by country and disease severity, to receive either :
The primary objective is to assess safety through 17 weeks of treatment, including treatment-emergent adverse events, ECG findings, vital signs, laboratory assessments, visual acuity, and peripheral neuropathy. Secondary objectives include assessments of efficacy (time to stable sputum culture conversion; favorable outcome and treatment failure/relapse at 26 and 52 weeks after end of treatment) and pharmacokinetics of trial drugs, with exploratory analyses including predictors of culture conversion, exposure-response relationships, and quality of life.
This is a phase 2, randomised, multi-center, partially blinded, clinical trial conducted in 2 treatment arms.
The trial will be performed at multiple centers in South Africa and Tanzania in at approximately 100 participants with DS-TB who meet all the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria, aged 18 to 65, inclusive. Participants will be randomised to one of the 2 sorfequiline, pretomanid and linezolid containing regimens and will be randomised in 1:1 ratio based on country and severity of disease (AFB 3+ and/or bilateral cavitation). T
The trial will consist of the following periods:
Screening period: Screening visit, up to 11 days prior to randomisation (Day 1)
Treatment Period: approximately 100 participants will be randomised equally to the 2 treatment arms below:
Follow-up Period: 52 weeks after end of treatment
Inclusion Criteria:
Exclusion Criteria:
Karnofsky score < 60 at screening
