Breastfeeding women finally included in TB drug research
NCT ID NCT07069582
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how five common tuberculosis drugs move into breast milk after a single dose. Sixty healthy breastfeeding women in Indonesia will each receive one drug, and researchers will measure drug levels in their blood and milk. The goal is to gather safety data so that breastfeeding women can be included in future TB prevention trials.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Rifampicin, isoniazid, levofloxacin, rifapentine, and bedaquiline
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could help include breastfeeding women in future TB prevention trials, ensuring safer dosing guidelines for mothers and infants.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase, single-dose study in healthy volunteers, not patients. Results may not apply to women with TB or to repeated dosing, and drug levels in milk may vary widely.
