Summary

This study tests a combination of five oral drugs (bedaquiline, delamanid, levofloxacin, linezolid, and clofazimine) for treating multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). The goal is to see if a shorter, all-pill regimen can effectively cure the infection. About 271 people with MDR-TB will receive the treatment for 16, 24, 32, or 40 weeks to find the best duration.
