About This Trial

The UNITE4TB consortium is a group of universities and pharmaceutical companies funded by the European Union. This consortium are carrying out a trial to find better and faster ways to treat tuberculosis (TB). The standard treatment for TB takes 24 weeks and uses four drugs. The consortium want to find new treatments that are faster but just as safe and effective. In the trial, two new drugs will be used, BTZ-043 and GSK3036656, along with the drugs that are already used to treat TB in a variety of combinations (11 different combinations initially). These new drugs have worked well in tests with animals and have reduced the amount of TB bacteria in people's sputum/phlegm when used alone for two weeks. These new drugs will be used in combination with other TB drugs for a longer time (up to 16 weeks) in people with TB. The UNITE4TB consortium want to see if they work well and are safe. This trial will take place at sites across the world and will involve people with TB of the lungs that would usually respond well to the standard treatment. But the new treatments being tested might also work for people with drug resistant TB, that's harder to treat. The trial has two parts. In the first part, different combinations of drugs will be tried on up to 700 people for 16 weeks. These combinations will be compared to the standard 24-week treatment to see which ones work the best and are safe. In the second part, the best combinations from the first part will be taken to try to find out what the best length of time is to give the treatment for. These combinations will be tried on up to 1800 people giving them either 8, 10, 12, 14 or 16 weeks treatment. The investigators will follow these people for a total of 72 weeks to make sure the treatment is working. The UNITE4TB consortium hope that this trial will find new treatments that are fast, safe, and effective for both regular TB and resistant TB. If it works, it can then be tested again in a bigger trial to be sure.

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 2 trials evaluate whether a treatment actually works against Pulmonary Tuberculosis and continue monitoring side effects. Phase 2 enrolls larger groups (typically 100–300 patients) and produces the first real efficacy signal. A successful Phase 2 readout is what unlocks the much larger Phase 3 confirmatory trials needed for FDA approval.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

Target enrollment of 2,500 participants makes this one of the larger Pulmonary Tuberculosis trials currently registered. Trials at this scale are typically global, run across many sites, and designed to generate the definitive evidence package for an FDA approval submission or a label expansion.

How to Talk to Your Doctor About This Trial

Bring the printable summary of this trial — including the NCT ID (NCT06114628), the sponsor (University College, London), and the key eligibility criteria — to your next appointment. Your doctor can review the inclusion and exclusion criteria against your medical history, lab values, and current treatments to assess whether you are likely to qualify. They can also help you weigh whether trial participation makes sense alongside your existing care plan.

Useful questions to walk through together: What does the trial protocol require beyond standard care? How long is the active treatment phase, and how long is follow-up? Are there study visits at sites I can reach? Who pays for the trial-specific procedures, and who pays for standard-of-care portions? See our 25 questions to ask about clinical trials guide for a more complete checklist.

Who can participate in NCT06114628?

Eligibility for this trial depends on the specific inclusion and exclusion criteria set by the sponsor. The plain-English summary above translates the most important criteria into accessible language; the official clinical text is preserved in the collapsible section underneath. Whether you fit any specific trial is a medical decision your doctor needs to confirm — bring the trial information to your treating physician for a full review against your medical history.

How do I contact the trial site for NCT06114628?

Contact information registered with ClinicalTrials.gov is shown in the sidebar of this page. Before reaching out, confirm with your treating physician that this trial is appropriate for your situation. The trial site will then walk you through the screening process to determine final eligibility.

Is participating in a clinical trial safe?

Clinical trials in the United States are regulated by the FDA and overseen by Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) that review the protocol for safety. Risk varies by trial — Phase 1 studies test new treatments in humans for the first time, while Phase 3 trials use treatments that have already passed earlier safety screening. The informed consent document for any specific trial details the known risks and what to expect. Discuss those risks with your physician before deciding whether to participate.
