| Tuberculosis, Multidrug-Resistant Infection, Bacterial Pulmonary Tuberculoses | Drug: Bedaquiline Drug: Delamanid Drug: Clofazimine Drug: Levofloxacin Drug: Moxifloxacin Drug: Linezolid Drug: Pyrazinamide Drug: Control arm MDR-TB regimen, consistent with WHO guidelines | Phase 3 |
This is a Phase III, randomized, controlled, open-label, non-inferiority, multi-country trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of new combination regimens for MDR-TB treatment.
Regimens examined combine newly approved drugs bedaquiline and/or delamanid with existing drugs known to be active against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (linezolid, clofazimine, moxifloxacin or levofloxacin, and pyrazinamide). The study will enroll in parallel across 5 experimental and 1 standard-of-care control arms. Randomization will be outcome adapted using Bayesian interim analysis of efficacy endpoints. Experimental regimens will contain bedaquiline and/or delamanid and up to 4 companion drugs. Control-arm treatment may contain one of the following (bedaquiline or delamanid) and companion drugs, constructed and delivered according to local standard of care and consistent with WHO guidelines. Trial participation in all arms will last at least until Week 73, and up to Week 104. In the experimental arms, treatment will be for 39 weeks (participants in the experimental arms will be allowed up to 47 weeks to complete the 39-week treatment course) and post-treatment follow up for up to 65 additional weeks. In the control arm, treatment will be delivered according to local standard of care (in consistence with WHO guidance); duration may vary and will be approximately 86 weeks for the conventional regimen and 39-52 weeks for the standardized shorter regimen.
Non-inferiority will be established for any experimental arm if the lower bound of the one-sided 97.5% confidence interval around the difference in favorable outcome between the control and experimental arms is greater than or equal to -12%.

- Week 73 Efficacy [ Time Frame: Week 73 after randomization ]
Proportion of participants with favorable outcome at week 73. A participant's outcome will be classified as favorable at week 73 if the outcome is not classified as unfavorable, and one of the following is true:
- The last two culture results are negative. These two cultures must be taken from sputum samples collected on separate visits, the latest between weeks 65 and 73;
- The last culture result (from a sputum sample collected between weeks 65 and 73) is negative; and either there is no other post-baseline culture result or the penultimate culture result is positive due to laboratory cross contamination; and bacteriological, radiological and clinical evolution is favorable;
- There is no culture result from a sputum sample collected between weeks 65 and 73 or the result of that culture is positive due to laboratory cross contamination; and the most recent culture result is negative; and bacteriological, radiological and clinical evolution is favorable.
