About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Early Bactericidal Activity and Safety in Pulmonary Tuberculosis With Pyrifazimine (TBI-166)

The new drug pyrifazimine (previous name: TBI-166) developed by the Institute of Materia Medica of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences which is Beijing Union Pharmaceutical Second Factory relied on is obtained by retaining the key skeleton of the lead drug clofazimine which can exert its efficacy and modification by introducing moderate polar groups structural. While the drug has strong activity against tuberculosis-sensitive bacteria and drug-resistant bacteria in vivo and in vitro, its pharmacokinetic properties and skin staining side effects have been significantly improved compared with the lead drugs, so that the drug can achieve the goal that reducing fat solubility, accelerating metabolism in the body, reducing skin staining and reducing side effects. In addition, pyrifazimine has a weak effect on liver drug enzymes, and is suitable for combined use in the clinical treatment of tuberculosis. The development of the drug is expected to provide a new method for the clinical treatment of drug-resistant tuberculosis, benefit patients, and produce good social benefits.

In November 2016, the new anti-drug-resistant tuberculosis drug pyrifazimine and its tablets (formerly chemical drug registration classification 1.1) obtained the drug clinical approval issued by the CFDA (batch number: 2016L10025/2016L09987), and were approved the clinical stage research that development of drug-resistant tuberculosis adaptation.

In accordance with relevant requirements of drug registration regulations, technical guidelines, etc., this project has completed the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic clinical trials of a single dose of pyrifazimine tablets in healthy subjects, i.e. Phase Ia clinical trials test.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Pyrifazimine (TBI-166) in people with Sensitive Pulmonary Tuberculosis, run by Beijing Chest Hospital at 3 sites 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 9 inclusion and 23 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Sep 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

EBA (time frame: The change of TB bacterium burden in sputum from Day 0 to Day 7 and/or 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 20 Sep 2021.
