New hope for kids with Drug-Resistant TB: safety trial underway

NCT ID NCT05586230

First seen Apr 24, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 4 times

Summary

This study looks at how a single dose of the medicine pretomanid works in children with rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis (a hard-to-treat form of TB). The goal is to understand how the drug moves through the body and whether it is safe and acceptable for children. About 32 children, some also living with HIV, will receive pretomanid along with their usual TB treatment. This is an early-stage (Phase 1) study, so it focuses on safety and drug levels, not on curing the disease.
