Summary

This study aims to see if adjusting the dose of the antibiotic linezolid based on regular blood tests can reduce harmful side effects in people being treated for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). About 150 adults and teens in Guinea will receive the standard BPaL regimen, but half will have their linezolid dose personalized using therapeutic drug monitoring. The goal is to keep drug levels in a safe range and lower the risk of nerve damage and other serious side effects.
