About this study

Official title: A Phase 3 Open-Label Partially Randomized Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of the Combination of Moxifloxacin Plus PA-824 Plus Pyrazinamide After 4 and 6 Months of Treatment in Adult Subjects With Drug-Sensitive Smear-Positive Pulmonary Tuberculosis and After 6 Months of Treatment in Adult Subjects With Multi-Drug Resistant, Smear-Positive Pulmonary Tuberculosis.

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of a combination of moxifloxacin, PA-824, and pyrazinamide treatments with varying doses and treatment lengths from 4 to 6 months in subjects with drug-sensitive (DS) pulmonary TB compared to standard HRZE treatment.

This study will also assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of a combination of moxifloxacin, PA-824, and pyrazinamide treatments after 6 months of treatment in subjects with multi drug-resistant (MDR) pulmonary TB compared to a combination of moxifloxacin, PA-824, and pyrazinamide treatments in DS-TB subjects.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of Combined Bacteriologic Failure or Relapse or Clinical Failure at Month 12 From Start of Therapy (Day 1) (Modified Intent to Treat [MITT] Population)

    Patients were classified as having a favorable, unfavorable or unassessable status at 12 months from the start of therapy.

    A favourable status was a negative culture status at 12 months from start of therapy in patients who had not already been classified as having an unfavorable outcome, and whose last positive culture result was followed by at least 2 negative culture results. Patients with an unfavorable status did not achieve/maintain culture negative status, or previously had culture negative status who following end of treatment (EOT), had 2 positive cultures, or had a positive culture not followed by 2 negative cultures, or were dying from any cause during treatment (except accidental cause not including suicide), or were dying from TB related causes during follow-up, or required an extension, restart or change of treatment except for reinfection/pregnancy, or failed to complete adequate treatment who were unassessable at 12 months or lost to follow-up/withdrawn before EOT.

    Measured: From Day 1 to Month 12.

  2. Incidence of Combined Bacteriologic Failure or Relapse or Clinical Failure at Month 12 From Start of Therapy (Day 1) (Per Protocol [PP] Population)

    Patients were classified as having a favorable, unfavorable or unassessable status at 12 months from the start of therapy.

    A favourable status was a negative culture status at 12 months from start of therapy in patients who had not already been classified as having an unfavorable outcome, and whose last positive culture result was followed by at least 2 negative culture results. Patients with an unfavorable status did not achieve/maintain culture negative status, or previously had culture negative status who following EOT, had 2 positive cultures, or had a positive culture not followed by 2 negative cultures, or died from any cause during treatment (except accidental cause not including suicide), or were dying from TB related causes during follow-up, or required a restart or change of treatment because of an unfavorable outcome with or without bacteriological confirmation, ie, on bacteriological, radiographic or clinical grounds.

    Measured: From Day 1 to Month 12.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Moxifloxacin, PA-824 and Pyrazinamide in people with Tuberculosis, Pulmonary, Drug Sensitive and Tuberculosis, Pulmonary, Multi Drug-resistant, run by Global Alliance for TB Drug Development at 26 sites in 8 countries.

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 22 inclusion and 48 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 26 Mar 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 26 sites in South Africa, Malaysia, Philippines, Tanzania, Kenya and 3 more countries. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 26 Mar 2019). 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?

Incidence of Combined Bacteriologic Failure or Relapse or Clinical Failure at Month 12 From Start of Therapy (Day 1) (Modified Intent to Treat [MITT] Population) (time frame: From Day 1 to Month 12.). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 26 Mar 2019.
