NCT ID NCT07170800

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests a new drug called JDB0131, combined with other TB medications, in 60 people with rifampin-resistant tuberculosis. Participants will receive one of two doses of JDB0131 or a standard drug (delamanid) for 8 weeks. The goal is to see which combination clears the bacteria from sputum faster and more safely.

Active substance

JDB0131 benzenesulfonate tablets (a new drug for tuberculosis) combined with other standard TB drugs

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide a new, effective treatment option for people with drug-resistant tuberculosis, potentially shortening treatment time and improving cure rates.

What could go wrong

This is an early phase 2 trial with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The new drug may cause side effects or not work better than existing treatments.
