About this study

Official title: A Phase II Dose Ranging Trial to Evaluate the Extended Early Bactericidal Activity, Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics 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 50, 100, 150 and 200 mg per day in adult patients with newly diagnosed, uncomplicated, smear positive tuberculosis (TB). A control group will receive standard TB treatment.

Read the detailed description

The planned sample size of 15 participants per treatment group is in keeping with other Phase II trials of this type and accounts for the possibility of up to 3 drop-outs per arm, which based on previous studies of this type conducted at these sites, represents a conservative estimate of the expected drop-out rate.

    Measured: 0 (pre-dose), 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 12, 16, and 24 hours post-dose on Day 1 of treatment

  7. Pharmacokinetics- Area Under the Plasma Concentration Time Curve From Zero to Infinity (AUC 0 to Infinity) (Day 1).

    Measured: 0 (pre-dose), 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 12, 16, and 24 hours post-dose on Day 1 of treatment

  8. Pharmacokinetics- Terminal Elimination Phase Half-life (t1/2) (Day 1).

    Measured: 0 (pre-dose), 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 12, 16, and 24 hours post-dose on Day 1 of treatment

  9. Pharmacokinetics-Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) (Day 14).

    Measured: 0 (pre-dose), 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 12,16, 24, and 30 hours post-dose on Day 14 of 14 consecutive days of treatment

  10. Pharmacokinetics- Terminal Elimination Phase Half-life (t1/2) (Day 14).

    Measured: 0 (pre-dose), 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 12, 16, 24 and 30 hours post-dose on Day 14 of 14 consecutive days of treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing PA-824 and Rifafour e-275 mg in people with Pulmonary Tuberculosis, run by Global Alliance for TB Drug Development.

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 8 inclusion and 26 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 20 Sep 2019. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 9 Mar 2016). 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 Mean Rate of Reduction of log10 Colony Forming Units (CFU) of M. Tuberculosis Per ml Sputum on Solid Medium Over Time (Days 0-14). (time frame: 14 consecutive days of treatment). 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 NCT00944021, 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 20 Sep 2019.
