About this study

Official title: A Phase IIa Trial to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Extended Early Bactericidal Activity and Pharmacokinetics of 14 Days' Treatment With Four Oral Doses of PA-824 in Adult Participants With Newly Diagnosed, Uncomplicated, Smear-Positive, Pulmonary Tuberculosis

The trial will evaluate the extended bactericidal activity of 14 consecutive days of oral administration of PA-824 at 200, 600, 1000 and 1200 mg per day in adult patients with newly diagnosed, uncomplicated, smear positive tuberculosis. A control group will receive standard TB treatment.

What is being measured

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

  1. Early Bactericidal Activity (EBA) Measured as the Daily Rate of Change in log10 CFUs (Colony Forming Units) of M. Tuberculosis in Sputum on Solid Media (Days 0-14).

    Measured: Day 0 and Day 14

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Early Bactericidal Activity (EBA) Measured as the Daily Rate of Change in log10 CFUs (Colony Forming Units) of M. Tuberculosis in Sputum on Solid Media (Days 0-2).

    Measured: Day 0 and Day 2

  2. Early Bactericidal Activity (EBA) Measured as the Daily Rate of Change in log10 CFUs (Colony Forming Units) of M. Tuberculosis in Sputum on Solid Media (Days 2-14).

    Measured: Day 2 and Day 14

  3. EBA Expressed as the Change in Time to Positive (TTP) Signal in Liquid Culture for M. Tuberculosis (Days 0-14)

    Measured: Day 0 and Day 14

  4. EBA Expressed as the Change in Time to Positive (TTP) Signal in Liquid Culture for M. Tuberculosis (Days 0-2)

    Measured: Day 0 and Day 2

  5. EBA Expressed as the Change in Time to Positive (TTP) Signal in Liquid Culture for M. Tuberculosis (Days 2-14) Show Description: [Not Specified]

    Measured: Day 2 and Day 14

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing PA-824 in people with Pulmonary Tuberculosis, run by Global Alliance for TB Drug Development at 2 sites in South Africa.

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 5 inclusion and 14 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 May 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in South Africa. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 4 Apr 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Early Bactericidal Activity (EBA) Measured as the Daily Rate of Change in log10 CFUs (Colony Forming Units) of M. Tuberculosis in Sputum on Solid Media (Days 0-14). (time frame: Day 0 and Day 14). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 May 2017.
