A PAN-USR TB Multi-Center Trial

A Pan-Ultrashort Regimen for Drug-susceptible and Drug-resistant Pulmonary Tuberculosis: A Multi-Center Randomized Controlled Trial

About This Trial

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major public health issue and one of the top ten causes of death from a single infectious disease worldwide. China is among the countries with the highest TB burden, ranking third globally for total TB cases and second for drug-resistant TB cases. PAN-TB is an innovative concept in TB treatment, aiming to develop a universal regimen effective for all forms of active TB, including both drug-susceptible and drug-resistant strains. The primary goal of the PAN-TB regimen is to simplify the treatment process, reduce costs, and improve treatment success rates. The ideal Target Regimen Profile (TRP) for PAN-TB includes superior efficacy compared to standard treatment for non-drug-resistant TB, a reduced treatment duration from the current 4-6 months to 2-3 months, and improved safety and tolerability. This project aims to explore a new ultra-short-course treatment regimen for both drug-sensitive (DS-TB) and drug-resistant TB (MDR/RR-TB), which aligns with the latest trends in TB treatment both domestically and internationally. The regimen also has significant practical implications for enhancing treatment efficacy and reducing patient burden. Furthermore, the study will explore the identification of new biomarkers closely linked to treatment outcomes over the course of full-cycle therapy.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Who May Qualify: 1. Age range from 18 to 65 years old, regardless of gender; 2. Clinical symptoms and/or pulmonary imaging (chest X-ray or chest CT) support the diagnosis of active pulmonary tuberculosis; 3. Microbiological testing (molecular or phenotypic) confirms the presence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, whether resistant to rifampicin or not; Recommend using respiratory specimens for GeneXpert MTB/RIF testing; 4. Voluntarily sign the willing to sign a consent form form for participating in this project and be able and willing to accept follow-up visits; 5. Willing to undergo HIV testing; 6. Willing to preserve samples including DNA; 7. For women with fertility, they have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test within 3 days before enroll the study and be willing to use effective contraceptive measures during the study period. Female subjects without fertility must have records of menopause, hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, or bilateral tubal ligation. Acceptable forms of contraception include condoms, intrauterine devices, cervical caps with spermicides, and diaphragm with spermicides. Who Should NOT Join This Trial: 1. Prior to this study, patients who were diagnosed with active pulmonary tuberculosis and had received anti-tuberculosis treatment (including first-line and second-line anti-tuberculosis drugs); 2. Intolerance or allergy to any investigational drug (i.e., bedaquiline, linezolid, fluoroquinolones \[including moxifloxacin, sitagliptin\], pyrazinamide); 3. Resistance to any investigational drug (i.e., bedaquiline, linezolid, fluoroquinolones \[including moxifloxacin, sitagliptin\], pyrazinamide). The following detection methods can be used: tNGS or other drug sensitivity testing methods (such as GeneXpert MTB/XDR, dissolution curve method, phenotypic drug sensitivity, etc.); ...See full criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.
