Official title
A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Active-Controlled Phase III Clinical Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Oral Sudapyridine (WX-081) Tablets in Patients With Rifampicin-Resistant Pulmonary Tuberculosis
Overview
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, active-controlled Phase III study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Sudapyridine (WX-081) combined with a background regimen (BR) in patients with rifampicin-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis. Approximately 450 participants will be screened over a period of up to 2 weeks and randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive either Sudapyridine or bedaquiline, in combination with placebo tablets and BR, for 24 weeks. After the treatment period, participants will enter a background regimen period up to Week 72, during which they will continue to receive BR. A subset of participants will be included in the C-QT sub-study to assess intensive PK sampling and 12-lead ECG evaluations on Day 1 pre-dose, Day 14, and Week 24. The study aims to provide robust data to support the use of Sudapyridine as a treatment option for rifampicin-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis.
Detailed description
This Phase III clinical study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Sudapyridine (WX-081) in combination with a background regimen (BR) for the treatment of rifampicin-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis. The study will be conducted at multiple centers, employing a randomized, double-blind, active-controlled design.
The study will consist of three phases:
Screening Phase:
Duration: Up to 2 weeks. Approximately 450 participants with rifampicin-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis will be screened for eligibility.
Treatment Phase:
Participants will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio into two groups:
1. Sudapyridine Group: Sudapyridine (WX-081) with placebo and BR. 2. Bedaquiline Group: Bedaquiline with placebo and BR. Treatment duration: 24 weeks.
Background Regimen Phase:
After completing the treatment phase, participants in both groups will continue to receive the background regimen (BR) until Week 72.
The study aims to test the hypothesis that Sudapyridine (WX-081), when combined with a background regimen, is effective and safe for treating rifampicin-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis. The data collected from this study will include primary and secondary endpoints related to efficacy and safety, PK/PD data, and cardiac safety evaluations.
The sample size of approximately 450 participants is designed to provide adequate power to detect a statistically significant difference in outcomes between treatment groups. Comprehensive data validation procedures and a robust statistical analysis plan will ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results.
Interventions
- Drug Sudapyridine
Sudapyridine (WX-081) will be administered as a loading dose for 2 weeks (450 mg once daily for 7 days, followed by 300 mg once daily for 7 days) and a maintenance dose (150 mg once daily) from Week 3 to Week 24. The intervention is combined with background regimen (BR) and placebo for bedaquiline. - Drug Bedaquiline
Bedaquiline will be administered as a loading dose for 2 weeks (400 mg once daily) and a maintenance dose (200 mg three times per week, with at least 48 hours between doses) from Week 3 to Week 24. The intervention is combined with background regimen (BR) and placebo for Sudapyridine.
Primary outcome measures
- Sputum Culture Conversion Rate at Week 24 [Time frame: Week 24]
Secondary outcome measures (3)
- Time to Sputum Culture Conversion [Time frame: Up to Week 72]
- Treatment Success Rate at Week 72 [Time frame: Week 72]
- Sputum Culture Conversion Rates at Multiple Time Points [Time frame: Up to Week 72]
