      The primary efficacy endpoint was bactericidal activity characterized by the daily rate of change in mean log10CFU counts during 8 weeks of treatment (bactericidal activity assessed by CFU on solid media for days 0-56).

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Time to Sputum Conversion Using Data From Weekly Cultures Through 8 Weeks on Liquid Media [8 weeks]

      liquid culture = Mycobacteria growth indicator tube (MGIT) Sputum culture conversion is defined as a change from a positive growth of M. tuberculosis in a sputum sample to negative M. tuberculosis growth sputum sample in patients with pulmonary TB

    2. Percentage of Patients With Sputum Culture Conversion at 8 Weeks on Solid Media [Day 57 after eight weeks of daily treatment]

      Sputum culture conversion is defined as a change from a positive growth of M. tuberculosis in a sputum sample to negative M. tuberculosis growth sputum sample in patients with pulmonary TB. (Day 57)

    3. The Rate of Change in Time to Sputum Culture Positivity (TTP) Through 8 Weeks in the MGIT System in Sputum Over 8 Weeks in Participants as Derived From a Non-linear Regression Model. [8 weeks]

      Measurement of TTP in liquid culture media Mycobacteria growth indicator tube (MGIT) using standard procedures

    5. Time to Sputum Conversion Using Data From Weekly Cultures Through 8 Weeks on Solid Media [8 weeks]

      Sputum culture conversion is defined as a change from a positive growth of M. tuberculosis in a sputum sample to negative M. tuberculosis growth sputum sample in patients with pulmonary TB

    6. Percentage of Patients With Sputum Culture Conversion at 8 Weeks on Liquid Media [Day 57 after eight weeks of daily treatment]

      Sputum culture conversion is defined as a change from a positive growth of M. tuberculosis in a sputum sample to negative M. tuberculosis growth sputum sample in patients with pulmonary TB. This was measured at visit 24(Day 57).

    Eligibility Criteria

    Criteria

    Ages Eligible for Study:
    18 Years to 65 Years
    Sexes Eligible for Study:
    All
    Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
    No
    Inclusion Criteria:
    • Provide written, informed consent prior to all trial-related procedures including HIV testing (if an HIV test was performed within 1 month prior to trial start, it should not be repeated as long as documentation can be provided [ELISA and/or Western Blot]).

    • Body weight (in light clothing and with no shoes) between 40 and 90 kg, inclusive.

    • Sputum smear-positive pulmonary TB (at trial appointed laboratory). For Drug Sensitive TB treatment arms, subjects should be newly diagnosed and previously untreated. Exception: Participants can be included in the trial if they were diagnosed and treated for TB greater than 5 years prior to screening and can provide documentation of cure for that episode. Additionally, participants who have previously received H prophylactically can be included as long as that treatment is/was discontinued at least 7 days prior to randomization into this trial. Drug sensitive status to be confirmed with fluoroquinolone, rifampicin and isoniazid susceptibility testing at screening using Hain Plus rapid sputum test.

    For the MDR-TB treatment arm only: Subjects with smear-positive MDR infection, defined as confirmed resistance to at least both R and H confirmed at screening for entry into this trial. Resistance to R and H will be determined using the rapid screen test (Hain Plus). If the first spot sputum shows an indeterminate result, the test must be repeated on freshly collected spot sputum or overnight sputum and that result may be used.

    Subjects with newly diagnosed MDR-TB are defined as a) subjects with MDR-TB who have never been treated for TB before, or b) subjects with MDR-TB who have previously been treated with only one course of first-line TB drugs (H, R, E, Z and/or S) and that treatment is/was discontinued at least 7 days prior to randomization into this trial. Additionally, MDR-TB participants who have previously received H prophylactically can be included as long as that treatment is/was discontinued at least 7 days prior to randomization into this trial.

    • A chest X-ray picture which in the opinion of the Investigator is compatible with TB.

    • Sputum positive (at site laboratory) on direct microscopy for acid-fast bacilli (at least 1+ on the IUATLD/WHO scale).

    • Ability to produce an adequate volume of sputum as estimated from a spot assessment (estimated 10 ml or more overnight production).

    • Females may participate if they are: 1) of non-childbearing potential (have had a bilateral oophorectomy, tubal ligation and/or hysterectomy or have been postmenopausal for at least 12 consecutive months), 2) if they are using effective birth control methods and are willing to continue practicing birth control methods throughout treatment or 3) be non-heterosexually active, practice sexual abstinence or have a vasectomized partner (confirmed sterile). Therefore to be eligible for this study women of childbearing potential should either: 1) use a double barrier method to prevent pregnancy (i.e. use a condom with either diaphragm or cervical cap) or 2) use hormonal based contraceptives in combination with a barrier contraceptive, or 3) use an intrauterine device in combination with a barrier contraceptive. They must also be willing to continue these contraceptive measures until one week after the last dose of study medication or one week after discontinuation from study medication in case of premature discontinuation. (Note: Hormone-based contraception alone may not be reliable when taking IMP; therefore, hormone-based contraceptives alone cannot be used by female participants to prevent pregnancy).

    • Male participants who are having heterosexual intercourse with females of child-bearing potential are required to use one of the following birth control methods during their participation in the trial and for 12 weeks after their last dose of study medication to prevent pregnancy:

    • a double barrier method which can include a male condom, diaphragm, cervical cap, or female condom; or

    • a barrier method combined with hormone-based contraceptives or an intra-uterine device for the female partner.

    The use of the above mentioned birth control method does not apply if the male participant has been vasectomised or has had a bilateral orchidectomy minimally three months prior to screening, or is not heterosexually active, or practices sexual abstinence or if the female sexual partner has had a bilateral oophorectomy, tubal ligation and/or hysterectomy or has been postmenopausal for at least 12 consecutive months.

    Exclusion Criteria:
    • Evidence of clinically significant (as judged by the investigator), metabolic, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, ophthalmological, pulmonary, neurological, psychiatric or endocrine diseases, malignancy, or other abnormalities (other than the indication being studied) including myasthenia gravis and malaria.

    • End stage liver failure (class Child Pugh C).

    • Poor general condition where any delay in treatment cannot be tolerated per discretion of the Investigator.

    • History of allergy or hypersensitivity to any of the study IMP or related substances, including a known allergy to any fluoroquinolone antibiotic, history of tendinopathy associated with quinolones or suspected hypersensitivity to any rifamycin antibiotics.

    • Resistance to fluoroquinolones (Hain plus rapid test) and/or pyrazinamide. Participants may be included in the study prior to receipt of the susceptibility test results for fluoroquinolones or pyrazinamide, however once these are received after a participant has entered into the study and if the results show the participant is resistant to fluoroquinolones and/or pyrazinamide, such a participant should be removed from the trial. DS participants will not be replaced, but MDR-TB participants taking part in the EBA Sub-Study could be replaced after consultation and written approval with the sponsor.
