Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting

Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

Summary

This Phase 2 trial tests whether a new drug called TBAJ-876, or the existing drug bedaquiline, combined with pretomanid and linezolid, can treat drug-sensitive tuberculosis faster and more effectively than the standard 6-month regimen. About 309 adults with newly diagnosed TB are taking part. The study compares how quickly the bacteria clear from sputum and checks safety over 26 weeks of treatment plus 52 weeks of follow-up.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
TBAJ-876 (also called sorfequiline), bedaquiline, pretomanid, linezolid, and standard TB drugs (isoniazid, rifampicin, pyrazinamide, ethambutol)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a shorter, simpler treatment regimen for drug-sensitive tuberculosis, potentially replacing the current standard of care.
What could go wrong
This is a Phase 2 trial with only 309 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The new drug combinations may cause side effects like nerve damage or heart rhythm issues, and they might not work better than existing treatments.
