About this study

Official title: An Open-label Study to Evaluate the Extended Early Bactericidal Activity, Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of Multiple Oral Doses of TMC207 in Treatment-na�ve Subjects With Sputum Smear Positive Pulmonary Tuberculosis.

The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of 3 different oral doses of TMC207 administered over a 7 day period on the organism that causes tuberculosis

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase IIa, open-label, randomized trial in treatment-naïve, sputum smear-positive, subjects with pulmonary TB to assess the extended early bactericidal activity (eEBA) of TMC207. The study population will consist of 60 treatment-naive subjects with M. tuberculosis infection.

Subjects will receive orally 25 mg TMC207 po q.d. (Treatment A), 100 mg TMC207 po q.d. (Treatment B) or 400 mg TMC207 po q.d. (Treatment C) daily for 7 days. Subjects in treatment group D will receive 600 mg rifampin po q.d. daily for 7 days and subjects in treatment group E will receive 300 mg isoniazid po q.d. daily for 7 days. After 7 days, subjects in all treatment groups will receive appropriate anti-TB therapy according to national standards of country TB guidelines and culture and sensitivity results of the sputum specimens until clinical and microbiological cures have been achieved. Three once-daily dose regimens of TMC207, for 7 days, will be studied versus 2 comparator treatments, rifampin and isoniazid in the present trial.TMC207 treatment groups: 25 mg TMC207 po q.d; 100 mg. TMC207 po q.d; 400 mg TMC207 po q.d.; TMC207 will be administered as a 10 or 40 mg/mL oral solution. Comparator groups: 600 mg rifampin po q.d. administered as capsules containing 300 mg rifampin; 300 mg isoniazid po q.d. administered as tablets containing 300 mg isoniazid.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Assess the effects of 3 doses of TMC207 administered over a 7 day period on M. tuberculosis in sputum compared to effects of treatment with standard doses of isoniazid and rifampin

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Assess the short term safety, tolerability and PK of multiple oral doses of TMC207 in treatment-naïve subjects with pulmonary M.tuberculosis infection

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing TMC207 in people with Tuberculosis, run by Tibotec BVBA.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Aug 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Assess the effects of 3 doses of TMC207 administered over a 7 day period on M. tuberculosis in sputum compared to effects of treatment with standard doses of isoniazid and rifampin. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00523926, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 Aug 2012; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 31 Oct 2026.
