Kidney function may change TB drug dosing

NCT ID NCT03896750

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

Summary

This study looked at how the tuberculosis drug pretomanid is processed in people with different levels of kidney function. Twelve participants received a single 200 mg dose, and researchers compared drug levels in those with kidney impairment to healthy matched controls. The goal was to see if kidney problems affect drug exposure, which could guide future dosing recommendations.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

pretomanid (PA-824)

What this could lead to

If successful, this study could help doctors determine the right dose of pretomanid for tuberculosis patients who also have kidney problems.

What could go wrong

This is a very early (Phase 1) study with only 12 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It only looks at how the drug moves through the body, not whether it effectively treats TB.
