About this study
Official title: A Randomized Controlled Non-Inferiority Study for Shortening Tuberculosis Treatment With Sitafloxacin-Containing Regimens
This study is a clinical trial conducted to determine whether the sitafloxacin-containing three-month regimens are as effective as the standard six-month regimen and the four-month rifapentine and moxifloxacin regimen (substitution of rifapentine for rifampin and moxifloxacin for ethambutol) for treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis. The standard six-month regimen is two months of isoniazid, rifampin, ethambutol, and pyrazinamide, followed by four months of isoniazid and rifampin. The four-month regimen consists of two months of isoniazid, rifapentine, moxifloxacin, and pyrazinamide, followed by two months of isoniazid rifapentine and moxifloxacin. The new three-month tuberculosis treatment regimens are six weeks of isoniazid, rifapentine, Sitafloxacin, and pyrazinamide, followed by seven weeks of isoniazid, rifapentine, and Sitafloxacin, or 13 weeks of isoniazid, rifapentine, Sitafloxacin, and pyrazinamide. The primary research question is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the 3 month Sitafloxacin-containing regimen, and to determine if it can shorten the treatment of drug-susceptible pulmonary tuberculosis while achieving non-inferiority in treatment success with the current 6 month and 4 month treatment regimens. Safety, side effects of Sitafloxacin for participants in the clinical trial are also assessed. Rates of cure, treatment success, recurrence, and cure (cure without recurrence) are determined for subgroup analysis in the standard six-month regimen group, the four-month regimen group, and two three-month regimen groups.
Read the detailed description
- TB disease-free survival at 13 weeks after study treatment assignment among participants in the three-month regimen group 1 and 2, the four-month regimen group, and the standard six-month regimen. The patients are AFB sputum smear negative or culture negative for M. tuberculosis, two assays are performed (each test is separated by at least seven days), eliminating the M. tuberculosis load from a pulmonary infection.
- Persons with positive culture results for M. tuberculosis or smear-positive sputum(spoligotyping isolates genetically identified as M. tuberculosis).
- Data collected pre-study included written informed consent; patients assessed for eligibility; height and weight; clinical symptoms of TB; adjunctive therapy; adverse drug reaction; blood and urine routine; liver and kidney function; acid-fast staining; single M. tuberculosis strain isolated from one patient with TB; GeneXpert MTB/RIF; chest CT scans
- Clinical symptoms of TB: cough, expectoration, hemoptysis, chest pain, fever, shortness of breath, weak.
- All patients should review for Xpert MTB/RIF assay in the second week.
- During treatment, clinical symptoms of TB and body weights takes weekly; blood and urine routine in weeks 1,2,4,8,13; Sputum smears and culture were routinely in weeks 1,2,4,8,13, and months 6 and 12. TB Disease-free Survival at six or twelve months after study treatment assignment as the secondary outcome measures.
- TB patients were identified through bacteriological confirmation (smear-positive and/or culture-positive).
- Pulmonary TB patients showed manifestation of tuberculosis by chest CT scans or X-ray.
- Adverse events of the treatment: neurological diseases, blood system diseases; diseases of the circulatory system; respiratory diseases; digestive diseases; extra-pulmonary TB; diabetes; arthralgia; mental disorders; hemoptysis and pneumothorax; pulmonary embolism; skin rash.
- Management of a participant with a positive sputum culture for M. tuberculosis at or after week 13: A second sputum sample was collected on the following day for a second culture. If M. tuberculosis is isolated in culture, drug susceptibility testing should be performed on one isolate. Patients will re-evaluate symptoms and chest CT scans; sputum was performed in triplicates and repeated for validation. These patients could restart the standard six-month regimen at any time.
- Patients follow up one week after the completion of treatment and 6,12,18 months after treatment is over. Patients undergo regular follow-up with sputum smear tests or imaging studies. Patients with positive TB symptom screen or suspected TB patients based on imaging tests are recommended with research staff.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
This study is a clinical trial conducted to determine whether the sitafloxacin-containing three-month regimens are as effective as the standard six-month regimen and the four-month rifapentine and moxifloxacin regimen (substitution of rifapentine for rifampin and moxifloxacin for ethambutol) for treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis. The standard six-month regimen is two months of isoniazid, rifampin, ethambutol, and pyrazinamide, followed by four months of isoniazid and rifampin. The four-month regimen consists of two months of isoniazid, rifapentine, moxifloxacin, and pyrazinamide, followed by two months of isoniazid rifapentine and moxifloxacin. The new three-month tuberculosis treatment regimens are six weeks of isoniazid, rifapentine, Sitafloxacin, and pyrazinamide, followed by seven weeks of isoniazid, rifapentine, and Sitafloxacin, or 13 weeks of isoniazid, rifapentine, Sitafloxacin, and pyrazinamide. The primary research question is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the 3 month Sitafloxacin-containing regimen, and to determine if it can shorten the treatment of drug-susceptible pulmonary tuberculosis while achieving non-inferiority in treatment success with the current 6 month and 4 month treatment regimens. Safety, side effects of Sitafloxacin for participants in the clinical trial are also assessed. Rates of cure, treatment success, recurrence, and cure (cure without recurrence) are determined for subgroup analysis in the standard six-month regimen group, the four-month regimen group, and two three-month regimen groups.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Sitafloxacin, SMZ/TMP and Rifampin in people with Tuberculosis, Pulmonary, run by First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University.
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 4 inclusion and 9 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 12 Jul 2022. 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 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?
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?
TB Disease-free Survival after the completion of the treatment cycle. (time frame: Week 13 in the three-month Rifapentine&Isoniazid&Pyrazinamide&Sitafloxacin-containing regimen and three-month Rifapentine&Isoniazid&Pyrazinamide&Sitafloxacin&SMZ/TMP-containing regimen). The study lists 6 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 NCT05454345, which also lists 14 linked publications.
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 12 Jul 2022.
