  Purpose

Tuberculosis is currently treated with a 6-month course regimen. During this time many patients might fail to adhere to treatment and default, increasing the risk of recurrent disease which might be multidrug resistant. A shorter duration of treatment is expected to provide improved patient compliance and at least equal or better clinical outcome. The aim of the trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a gatifloxacin-containing regimen of four months duration for the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis,

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Efficacy: Percentage of relapses by 24 months following treatment cure
  • Safety: Percentage of adverse events

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Efficacy: Time to relapse
  • Efficacy: Percentage of smear and culture conversion at 8 weeks
  • Efficacy: Percentage of patient cured at the end of treatment
  • Efficacy: Time to a composite “unsatisfactory” endpoint
  • Safety outcome: Distribution of type and grading of adverse events

Estimated Enrollment: 2070
Study Start Date: January 2005
Estimated Study Completion Date: December 2008
Detailed Description:

In order to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the 4-month test gatifloxacin-containing regimen, comparison will be made with a standard 6-month regimen, recommended by WHO. Patients will be treated with one of the two regimens that will be randomly allocated. A total of 2070 patients will ne recruited in the trial and followed-up for a duration of 2 years. The trial is multicentre, and conducted in 5 countries in Africa.
