Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the mycobactericidal activity of combinations of bedaquiline (J), moxifloxacin (M), PA-824 (Pa) and pyrazinamide (Z) regimens during 8 weeks of treatment.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 2

Detailed Description

The trial design is a phase 2, multi-center, open-label, partially randomized clinical trial in four parallel treatment groups. Subjects with drug-sensitive tuberculosis (DS-TB) will be randomized to receive either J(loading dose/three times a week)PaZ; or J(200mg)PaZ; or HRZE. Subjects with multi drug-resistant tuberculosis will receive J(200mg)MPaZ. The HRZE treatment arm is included as a control for the drug-sensitive treatments and as a control for the quantitative laboratory mycobacteriology testing.

A total of approximately 240 male and female, newly diagnosed subjects with drug-sensitive or multi drug-resistant, smear positive pulmonary tuberculosis aged 18 to 75 years (inclusive) will be included in the study. A total of 180 subjects with drug-sensitive tuberculosis (60 per treatment arm) will be randomized. Up to 60 subjects with multi-drug resistant tuberculosis will be assigned.

All subjects will have up to a maximum of 9 days screening, receive 8 weeks of treatment, and have follow-up visits at 2 and 12 weeks after study treatment completion or last dose of investigational medicinal product in the case of early withdrawal. Subjects who withdraw from the study after receiving < 14 days of investigational medicinal product, will only attend a follow-up visit at 2 weeks after last dose of investigational medicinal product.

Upon treatment completion, the subjects with drug-sensitive tuberculosis will be provided with sufficient doses of standard of care tuberculosis treatment, as appropriate, to cover the time period from attending their last visit at the study clinic until their scheduled visit at the TB clinic. All subjects with drug sensitive and multi-drug resistant tuberculosis will be referred to the local community tuberculosis clinics for standard anti-tuberculosis chemotherapy according to National Tuberculosis Guidelines.

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Rate of Change in Time to Sputum Culture Positivity (TTP) Over 8 Weeks in the Mycobacterial Growth Indicator Tube (MGIT) System [Day 0 to Day 56 (8 weeks)]

      The bactericidal activity (BA) was determined by the rate of change in TTP collected from overnight sputum samples over 8 weeks of treatment in the liquid culture media MGIT system, represented by the model-fitted log(TTP) results as calculated by the regression of the observed log(TTP) results over time. The bactericidal activity of log(TTP) over Day 0 to Day 56 (BATTP[0-56]) was presented and expressed as the daily percentage change in TTP from Day 0 to Day 56. The mean BATTP (0-56) was calculated from Bayesian non-linear mixed effects regression models fitted to log(TTP) collected from sputum samples (observed from Day 0 to Day 56).

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) [First study drug administration (Day 1) up to and including the Day 70 follow-up visit (or up to and including 14 days after last study drug administration for participants not having the Day 70 follow-up visit) (70 days)]

      A TEAE was defined as any AE which started or worsened on or after first study drug administration up to and including the Day 70 follow-up visit (or up to and including 14 days after last study drug administration for participants not having Day 70 follow-up visit). Drug-related TEAEs were defined as TEAEs for which relationship to study drug was indicated as 'possible', 'probable', 'certain' or missing. TEAEs leading to death were defined as TEAEs resulted 'fatal' outcome. Serious TEAEs were defined as TEAEs for which serious was indicated as 'yes'. TEAEs leading to discontinuation of study drug were defined as TEAEs for which action taken with study drug was indicated as 'study drug stopped'. TEAEs leading to early withdrawal from study were defined as TEAEs resulted study discontinuation. Grade III and IV TEAEs were defined as TEAEs for which severity (DMID grade) was indicated as 'Grade 3 (severe)' and 'Grade 4 (potentially life-threatening)' or missing, respectively.

    Title Rate of Change in Time to Sputum Culture Positivity (TTP) Over 8 Weeks in the Mycobacterial Growth Indicator Tube (MGIT) System
    Description The bactericidal activity (BA) was determined by the rate of change in TTP collected from overnight sputum samples over 8 weeks of treatment in the liquid culture media MGIT system, represented by the model-fitted log(TTP) results as calculated by the regression of the observed log(TTP) results over time. The bactericidal activity of log(TTP) over Day 0 to Day 56 (BATTP[0-56]) was presented and expressed as the daily percentage change in TTP from Day 0 to Day 56. The mean BATTP (0-56) was calculated from Bayesian non-linear mixed effects regression models fitted to log(TTP) collected from sputum samples (observed from Day 0 to Day 56).
    Time Frame Day 0 to Day 56 (8 weeks)

    Outcome Measure Data

    Analysis Population Description
    The modified intention-to-treat analysis population included all participants included in the safety analysis population for whom valid corresponding efficacy data were available. Pyrazinamide resistant participants were excluded from this analysis population (applicable to both participants with DS-TB and MDR-TB).
    Arm/Group Title DS-TB: Bedaquiline (Loading Dose/t.i.w)+ PA-824 + Pyrazinamide DS-TB: Bedaquiline (200 mg) + PA-824 + Pyrazinamide DS-TB: HRZE (Isoniazid+Rifampicin+Pyrazinamide+Ethambutol) MDR-TB: Bedaquiline (200 mg)+Moxifloxacin+PA-824+Pyrazinamide
    Arm/Group Description Participants with DS-TB were randomized to receive 400 mg bedaquiline once daily on Days 1 to 14, 200 mg t.i.w during Days 15 to 56 + 200 mg pretomanid (PA-824) + 1500 mg pyrazinamide orally once daily on Days 1 to 56 during the treatment period (from Day 1 to Week 8). Participants then entered a follow-up period up to Month 26. Participants with DS-TB were randomized to receive 200 mg bedaquiline + 200 mg pretomanid (PA-824) + 1500 mg pyrazinamide orally once daily on Days 1 to 56 during the treatment period (from Day 1 to Week 8). Participants then entered a follow-up period up to Month 26. Participants with DS-TB were randomized to receive combination tablets containing 75 mg isoniazid + 150 mg rifampicin + 400 mg pyrazinamide + 275 mg ethambutol orally once daily on Days 1 to 56 during the treatment period (from Day 1 to Week 8) with the daily dose per the participant's weight as follows: 30 to 37 kg: 2 tablets; 38 to 54 kg: 3 tablets; 55 to 70 kg: 4 tablets; 71 kg and over: 5 tablets. Participants then entered a follow-up period up to Month 26. Participants with MDR-TB received 200 mg bedaquiline + 400 mg moxifloxacin + 200 mg pretomanid (PA-824) + 1500 mg pyrazinamide orally once daily on Days 1 to 56 during the treatment period (from Day 1 to Week 8).

    Title Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)
    Description A TEAE was defined as any AE which started or worsened on or after first study drug administration up to and including the Day 70 follow-up visit (or up to and including 14 days after last study drug administration for participants not having Day 70 follow-up visit). Drug-related TEAEs were defined as TEAEs for which relationship to study drug was indicated as 'possible', 'probable', 'certain' or missing. TEAEs leading to death were defined as TEAEs resulted 'fatal' outcome. Serious TEAEs were defined as TEAEs for which serious was indicated as 'yes'. TEAEs leading to discontinuation of study drug were defined as TEAEs for which action taken with study drug was indicated as 'study drug stopped'. TEAEs leading to early withdrawal from study were defined as TEAEs resulted study discontinuation. Grade III and IV TEAEs were defined as TEAEs for which severity (DMID grade) was indicated as 'Grade 3 (severe)' and 'Grade 4 (potentially life-threatening)' or missing, respectively.
    Time Frame First study drug administration (Day 1) up to and including the Day 70 follow-up visit (or up to and including 14 days after last study drug administration for participants not having the Day 70 follow-up visit) (70 days)
