First seen Jan 31, 2026 · Last updated Apr 25, 2026 · Updated 19 times

Summary

This study tests whether a higher dose (1800 mg) of the antibiotic rifampicin is safe and works better than the standard dose for adults with lung tuberculosis. About 164 participants will be monitored for liver problems and other side effects, as well as how well the treatment clears the infection. The goal is to see if the higher dose can improve cure rates without causing more harm.
