Active clinical trials for "Tuberculosis, Multidrug-Resistant"

The objective of this work is to measure the early bactericidal activity of tedizolid, to compare it with the bactericidal activity of linezolid (reference molecule for the treatment of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis) and with that of standard quadruple therapy (reference treatment of drug susceptible tuberculosis).

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of 26 weeks of delamanid (DLM) versus 26 weeks of isoniazid (INH) for preventing confirmed or probable active tuberculosis (TB) during 96 weeks of follow-up among high-risk household contacts (HHCs) of adults with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) (index cases). High-risk HHCs are those with HIV or non-HIV immunosuppression, latent TB infection, and young children below the age of 5 years.

The primary aim of this pragmatic trial is to determine the effectiveness of a Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) Drug Sensitivity Testing (DST) strategy to guide individualised treatment of rifampicin resistant tuberculosis (RR-TB) patients. The primary objective is to determine the effectiveness of this WGS DST strategy in patients diagnosed with RR-TB. We will additionally perform an exploratory health economics evaluation of both arms, and will determine the feasibility of the WGS DST strategy.

The goal of the BringBPaL2Me Trial, a multi-principal investigator, multi-site, cluster randomized, non-inferiority trial is to compare nurse-led RR-TB treatment in primary care clinics to standard of care physician-led RR-TB treatment at district hospitals in the provinces of KwaZulu-Natal, Gauteng, and Eastern Cape. The main aim is to conduct a 5-year, analyst and clinical safety review committee blinded, multi-site, cluster randomized trial to evaluate 1) treatment outcome; 2) safety; 3) patient associated catastrophic costs with the following hypotheses: Outpatient nurse-led treatment in PCCs will be non-inferior to outpatient physician-led treatment at hospital-based outpatient sites among RR-TB patients, regardless of HIV co-infection, as determined by a successful treatment outcome [H1]. The proportion of SAEs identified will not significantly differ by blinded, independent review [H2]. Patient associated catastrophic costs (i.e., costs 20% or more of household income) will be lower in nurse-led treatment [H3].

Pretomanid is being used in an antimicrobial combination regimen(s) to treat patients with pulmonary tuberculosis (TB). The primary purpose of the Male Reproductive Safety - "BPaMZ/SEM"- clinical study is to evaluate the potential effect of pretomanid on human testicular function whilst being used in a 26 weeks antimicrobial combination regimen consisting of bedaquiline (B) plus pretomanid (Pa) plus moxifloxacin (M) and pyrazinamide (Z) (BPaMZ).

The purpose of this study is to monitor and evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Delamanid in combination with an optimal background regimen (OBR) of anti-TB drugs for treatment of MDR-TB.

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of a combination of levofloxacin, linezolid, cycloserine and pyrazinamide (or clofazimine if resistant to pyrazinamide) treatments for 24 to 32 weeks (regimen consisted of clofazimine for 36~44 weeks) in subjects with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) compared to WHO standardized shorter regimen of 36-44 weeks.

endTB-Q Clinical Trial is a Phase III, randomized, controlled, open-label, non-inferiority, multi-country trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of two new, all-oral, shortened regimens for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) with fluoroquinolone resistance.

BEAT Tuberculosis is a phase 3, open label, multi-centre, randomized controlled trial. The purpose of this trial is to compare the efficacy and safety of a Study Strategy consisting of 6 months of bedaquiline (BDQ), delamanid (DLM), and linezolid (LNZ), with levofloxacin (LVX) and clofazimine (CFZ) compared to the current South African Standard of Care (Control Strategy) for 9 months for the treatment of rifampicin resistant (RR-TB) Tuberculosis.

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of a combination of bedaquiline, linezolid, cycloserine, clofazimine and pyrazinamide treatments guided by PZA sensitivity for 24 to 36 weeks in subjects with fluoroquinolone-resistant MDR-TB .
