About This Trial

The objective of this study is to analyze the efficacy of a new regimen using Bedaquiline, Pretomanid, Linezolid, and Moxifloxacin for 24 weeks or Bedaquiline, Pretomanid, Linezolid for 26 weeks for the treatment of MDR/RR-TB through the clinical trial.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Who May Qualify: 1. At least 19 years old at enrolment 2. Bodyweight over 35Kg 3. If rifampicin resistance is confirmed through molecular or phenotypic drug susceptibility testing conducted on sputum or bronchoscopy specimens within 3 months of screening 4. Chest radiological findings consistent with pulmonary tuberculosis Who Should NOT Join This Trial: 1. Uncontrolled DM 2. Extrapulmonary TB that would require treatment longer than would be usual for pulmonary TB 3. Less than 30 Karnofsky score at enrolment 4. BMI less than 17 5. Known severe allergy to any of the BPaLM regimen drugs 6. Medical history of Glucose-galactose malabsorption, galactose intolerance, and Lapp lactase deficiency 7. HIV-positive 8. The QTcF interval exceeds 450 msec on the electrocardiogram at baseline 9. Patients who are at risk of Torsade de Pointes due to underlying heart diseases such as heart failure or arrhythmia 10. For women of childbearing potential if the pregnancy test is positive, women who are breastfeeding or planning to become pregnant within 6 months of discontinuation/termination of treatment during the study, or who do not want contraception (i.e., oral and subcutaneous hormonal contraceptives, condoms, diaphragms, intrauterine device, or use of appropriate contraceptive methods including abstinence) \*Note: Double contraception (e.g., when a male uses a barrier contraceptive method such as a condom, a female partner uses a hormonal contraceptive or an additional contraceptive method such as an intrauterine device) is required while taking the study drug and up to 6 months after stopping/terminating the study drug. In particular, taking the study drug may affect the efficacy of hormonal contraceptives, and even if you are using only barrier contraception at the same time with your partner, you cannot be sure of preventing pregnancy, so it is necessary to maintain double contraception. ...See full criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.

Treatments Being Tested

DRUG

BPaL(M) regimen

Patients diagnosed with MDR/RR-TB are initially assigned to the BPaLM regimen as a single-arm for treatment initiation. Afterward, if MDR/RR-TB is confirmed to be fluoroquinolone-resistant by molecular or phenotypic DST, the treatment is switched to the BPaL regimen (for 24 weeks). On the other hand, if MDR/RR-TB is confirmed to be fluoroquinolone-susceptible, treatment for MDR/RR-TB is maintained with the BPaLM regimen (for 26 weeks). The dosage of each medication is as follows: * Bedaquiline 400mg/day for the 2 weeks, 200mg/TIW afterward * Pretomanid 200mg/day * Linezolid 600mg/day for the 9weeks, 300mg/day afterward * Moxifloxacin 400mg/day
