New TB drug combinations for drug-sensitive lung TB
Treatments studied
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests new combinations of TB medicines for people with active lung TB that is sensitive to standard drugs. It aims to find safer, shorter treatments that work just as well or better than current options.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have active TB in your lungs, confirmed by a test (Xpert) showing 'medium' or 'high' bacteria levels within the last week.
- Your TB bacteria are sensitive to the standard drugs isoniazid and rifampin (not resistant).
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning pregnancy in the next year, and you agree to use effective birth control if needed.
- You are at least 18 years old and weigh at least 35 kg (about 77 pounds).
- Your liver, kidney, and blood counts are within acceptable ranges, and you have no serious heart rhythm issues or other major medical problems.

This trial tests a combination of drugs for people with active tuberculosis who have not been treated before. It aims to find a better way to treat TB, even if the bacteria are resistant to some drugs.
This Phase 2 study tests treatment for people with newly diagnosed, drug-susceptible pulmonary (lung) tuberculosis (TB). It aims to see whether the study treatment works well and is safe for curing TB.
This study tests different ways to treat active lung TB that is not resistant to rifampicin. It aims to find the best treatment duration and combination to cure TB and prevent it from coming back.
This study tests a new combination of two existing medicines (pyrazinamide and hydroxychloroquine) to see if it works as well as the current standard treatment for TB. If it works, it could mean fewer pills or a shorter treatment for patients with drug-sensitive TB.
This study tests a shorter-course treatment for tuberculosis (TB) in people 65 and older. It compares a new ultra-short regimen to the usual longer one, using the drugs bedaquiline, linezolid, and pyrazinamide, to see if a shorter treatment is just as effective and safer for older adults.
This trial tests a new “triple-dose” set of medicines to treat people whose tuberculosis (TB) has come back in the lungs. If you qualify, the goal is to improve cure rates and reduce the chance of TB returning again.
