Summary

This study tests whether a shorter, personalized treatment plan (called BPaLM) works as well as the standard longer treatment for people with a type of drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB). About 400 adults with fluoroquinolone-susceptible multidrug-resistant TB will be randomly assigned to different treatment lengths (13 to 24 weeks) to find the best balance of curing the disease and reducing side effects. The goal is to make treatment faster and more tolerable without losing effectiveness.
