Official title
A Phase 2, Open-label, Randomized Controlled Trial to Assess the Safety, Bactericidal Activity, and Pharmacokinetics of Nicotinamide in Combination With Bedaquiline, Pretomanid, and Linezolid in Adults With Drug-susceptible Pulmonary Tuberculosis
Overview
The purpose of this study is to determine if nicotinamide in combination with bedaquiline, pretomanid, and linezolid, is safe and effective in treating drug-susceptible pulmonary tuberculosis.
Interventions
- Drug Bedaquiline, pretomanid, linezolid
Group 1 (Approximately 55 participants), Combination of NAM 1500 mg twice daily (BID) with bedaquiline (200 mg once daily \[QD\]), pretomanid (200 mg QD), and linezolid (600 mg QD), 56 days - Drug Bedaquiline, pretomanid, linezolid
Group 2 (Approximately 55 participants): Combination of NAM 2500 mg BID with bedaquiline (200 mg QD), pretomanid (200 mg QD), and linezolid (600 mg QD), 56 days - Drug Bedaquiline, pretomanid, linezolid
Group 3 (active control; approximately 55 participants): Combination of bedaquiline (200 mg QD), pretomanid (200 mg QD), and linezolid (600 mg QD), 56 days - Dietary supplement Nicotinamide (NAM)
Group 1 (Approximately 55 participants), Combination of NAM 2500 mg twice daily (BID) with bedaquiline (200 mg once daily \[QD\]), pretomanid (200 mg QD), and linezolid (600 mg QD), 56 days
Primary outcome measures
- Bactericidal Activity [Time frame: From randomization through Day 64 (EOT)]
- Safety: SAEs [Time frame: From randomization through Day 64 (EOT)]
- Safety: TEAEs [Time frame: From randomization through Day 64 (EOT)]
- Safety: AESIs [Time frame: From randomization through Day 64 (EOT)]
- Safety: TEAEs leading to treatment discontinuation [Time frame: From randomization through Day 64 (EOT)]
- Safety: TEAEs leading to NAM dose reduction [Time frame: From randomization through Day 64 (EOT)]
Secondary outcome measures (3)
- Bactericidal Activity [Time frame: Randomization through Day 64 (EOT)]
- Bactericidal activity [Time frame: Randomization through Day 56 (EOTx)]
- Evaluate the PK of NAM when administered with BPaL in Group 1 and 2 [Time frame: Day 1 and Day 14]
