NCT ID NCT07525427
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 31, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study tests whether a new drug called TBD09, when used with other TB medicines, is safe and works well in adults with drug-sensitive tuberculosis (TB). About 150 people will take part. The main goals are to see how quickly the drug combination kills TB bacteria and to check for any side effects.
