About this study

Official title: A Multi-center, Randomized, Positive-controlled Phase 2 Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Early Bactericidal Activity, Safety and Tolerability of WX-081 in Participants With Drug-naive&Susceptible or Drug-Resistant Pulmonary Tuberculosis

This is a multi-center, randomized, parallel, open-label, positive-controlled Phase 2 clinical trial, which aims to evaluate the early bactericidal activity, safety and tolerability of WX-081 in patients with drug-naive\&susceptible and drug-resistant tuberculosis. Also the efficacy of WX-081 will be explored in participants with drug-resistant tuberculosis.

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase 2, multi-center, randomized, parallel, open-label, positive-controlled clinical trial. The objective of this trial is to evaluate the early bactericidal activity, safety and tolerability of WX-081 patients with drug-naive\&susceptible and drug-resistant tuberculosis. and the efficacy in participants with drug-resistant tuberculosis.

This trial will be divided into core research stage (stage 1) and extended research stage (stage 2). During stage 1, a panel of 59 participants with drug-naive\&susceptible tuberculosis will be randomized to receive either WX-081(including 3 groups:150mg qd, 300mg qd, 450mg qd. n=12 per group) or standard treatment (n=8) for 2 weeks, and then followed by a follow-up period of 2 weeks. A panel of 40 participants with drug-resistant tuberculosis will be randomized to receive either WX-081 (400mg qd, n=20) or bedaquiline (400mg qd, n=20) for 2 weeks. During stage 2, the 40 participants with drug-resistant tuberculosis will receive WX-081(150mg qd) + MBT treatment (ie. multi-drug background treatment) and bedaquiline (200mg tiw) +MBT treatment for 6 weeks respectively, and then followed by a follow-up period of 4 weeks.

What is being measured

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

  1. Time to positive (TTP)

    TTP is measured as time to sputum culture positivity in Liquid Culture Media.

    Measured: Day 0-14.

  2. Early bactericidal activity (EBA) of WX-081

    EBA is measured as the mean rate of colony forming unit (log10CFU) of mycobacterium tuberculosis per ml sputum on solid medium in different time periods.

    Measured: Day 0-14.

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. change of electrocardiogram QT interval

    QT interval is calculated as QTcF in milliseconds (ms)

    Measured: Measured through 8 Weeks.

  2. The percentage of participants with sputum culture-negative conversion.

    Percentage of participants with an occurrence of sputum culture-negative through 8 weeks.

    Measured: Measured through 8 Weeks.

  3. Rate of change of colony forming units (CFU)

    Rate of change of colony forming units (CFU) of mycobacterium tuberculosis on sputum culture through 8 weeks.

    Measured: Measured through 8 Weeks.

  4. The percentage of participants with sputum smear-negative conversion.

    Percentage of participants with an occurrence of sputum smear-negative through 8 weeks.

    Measured: Measured through 8 Weeks.

  5. heart rate

    heart rate in times per minute.

    Measured: Measured through 8 Weeks.

  6. blood pressure

    blood pressure in mmHg

    Measured: Measured through 8 Weeks.

  7. Maximum plasma concentration (Cmax)

    Blood samples will be taken at different time points before and after administration on Day1 and Day14 of treatment.

    Measured: At day1 and 14.

  8. Time to reach maximum plasma concentration (Tmax)

    Blood samples will be taken at different time points before and after administration on Day1 and Day14 of treatment.

    Measured: At day1 and 14.

  9. Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC(0-t))

    Blood samples will be taken at different time points before and after administration on Day1 and Day14 of treatment.

    Measured: At day1 and 14.

  10. Terminal plasma half-life (t1/2)

    Blood samples will be taken at different time points before and after administration on Day1 and Day14 of treatment.

    Measured: At day1 and 14.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing WX-081, Bedaquiline and Standard treatment in people with Pulmonary Tuberculosis, run by Shanghai Jiatan Pharmatech Co., Ltd at 1 site in China.

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 7 inclusion and 8 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 11 Sep 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. 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?

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?

Time to positive (TTP) (time frame: Day 0-14.). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04608955, 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 11 Sep 2023.
