简要总结
Current tuberculosis (TB) treatment is effective (works well), but it takes a long time to cure TB. This study will evaluate if TB treatment with a higher dose of rifampicin, one of the TB medicines, and shorter TB treatment duration is as effective and safe as the standard, TB treatment (with the usual rifampicin dose and usual duration). This study hopes to find a better shorter treatment that works as well as the current treatment (standard of care). This could benefit children worldwide who are getting TB treatment.
Children 3 months to less than 10 years of age who have drug-susceptible TB (can be successfully treated with standard TB medicines) are eligible for this study.
详细描述
This is a multi-arm open-label phase IIc trial with duration randomization, with a lead-in pharmacokinetics (PK) study. Children 3 months to less than 10 years of age with routinely diagnosed clinical or confirmed drug-susceptible TB will be screened and if eligible randomly assigned 1:1:1:1:1 to one of five arms (durations of TB treatment and control arm). Randomization will be stratified by age (3 months to less than 5 years of age vs 5 to less than 10 years of age).
A total of 200 participants will be enrolled in the main trial (Step 2), with 40 per study arm, with an additional 30 participants enrolled in a Lead-in PK study (Step 1).
Step 1 - Lead-in PK study participants will be on treatment for 8 weeks, complete their trial participation in up to 9 weeks, and will not contribute to the main trial endpoints.
Step 2 - Main trial participants will be on study for 48 weeks.

入选标准
- •3 months to less than 10 years of age
- •Body weight greater than or equal to 3 kilograms (kg) and less than 45 kg at study entry
- •Confirmed or clinically diagnosed intrathoracic (pulmonary) and/or some forms of extrathoracic (extrapulmonary) drug-susceptible TB:
- •Confirmed intrathoracic (pulmonary) TB, based on chest radiograph and/or symptoms consistent with TB, and/or some forms of extrathoracic TB, with all of the following as determined by the site investigator:
- •Microbiological confirmation of M. tuberculosis from any clinical specimen by either culture or molecular methods
- •At least rifampicin-susceptibility demonstrated by genotypic (molecular) or phenotypic methods
- •Documented clinical decision to treat for drug-susceptible TB
- •Clinically diagnosed intrathoracic (pulmonary) TB, based on chest radiograph and/or symptoms consistent with TB, and/or some forms of extrathoracic TB, with all of the following as determined by the site investigator:
- •Documented clinical decision to treat for drug-susceptible TB
- •HIV positive or negative

排除标准
- •Received routine treatment for TB disease for greater than 5 days at the time of enrollment
- •Exposure to a case of intrathoracic TB in the 12 months prior to enrollment with known or suspected resistance to any of the drugs in the treatment regimens OR confirmed resistance on molecular or phenotypic drug-susceptibility testing to any drugs in the treatment regimens
- •Has greater than or equal to grade 3 results of any of the following during screening: creatinine, serum ALT, AST, total bilirubin
- •Has hemoglobin less than 7.5 g/dL during screening
- •Has TB meningitis, osteoarticular TB, or miliary TB as determined by the site investigator
