Brief Summary:

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of a combination of moxifloxacin, PA-824, and pyrazinamide treatments with varying doses and treatment lengths from 4 to 6 months in subjects with drug-sensitive (DS) pulmonary TB compared to standard HRZE treatment.

This study will also assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of a combination of moxifloxacin, PA-824, and pyrazinamide treatments after 6 months of treatment in subjects with multi drug-resistant (MDR) pulmonary TB compared to a combination of moxifloxacin, PA-824, and pyrazinamide treatments in DS-TB subjects.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Incidence of Combined Bacteriologic Failure or Relapse or Clinical Failure at Month 12 From Start of Therapy (Day 1) (Modified Intent to Treat [MITT] Population) [ Time Frame: From Day 1 to Month 12. ]

    Patients were classified as having a favorable, unfavorable or unassessable status at 12 months from the start of therapy.

    A favourable status was a negative culture status at 12 months from start of therapy in patients who had not already been classified as having an unfavorable outcome, and whose last positive culture result was followed by at least 2 negative culture results. Patients with an unfavorable status did not achieve/maintain culture negative status, or previously had culture negative status who following end of treatment (EOT), had 2 positive cultures, or had a positive culture not followed by 2 negative cultures, or were dying from any cause during treatment (except accidental cause not including suicide), or were dying from TB related causes during follow-up, or required an extension, restart or change of treatment except for reinfection/pregnancy, or failed to complete adequate treatment who were unassessable at 12 months or lost to follow-up/withdrawn before EOT.


  2. Incidence of Combined Bacteriologic Failure or Relapse or Clinical Failure at Month 12 From Start of Therapy (Day 1) (Per Protocol [PP] Population) [ Time Frame: From Day 1 to Month 12. ]

    Patients were classified as having a favorable, unfavorable or unassessable status at 12 months from the start of therapy.

    A favourable status was a negative culture status at 12 months from start of therapy in patients who had not already been classified as having an unfavorable outcome, and whose last positive culture result was followed by at least 2 negative culture results. Patients with an unfavorable status did not achieve/maintain culture negative status, or previously had culture negative status who following EOT, had 2 positive cultures, or had a positive culture not followed by 2 negative cultures, or died from any cause during treatment (except accidental cause not including suicide), or were dying from TB related causes during follow-up, or required a restart or change of treatment because of an unfavorable outcome with or without bacteriological confirmation, ie, on bacteriological, radiographic or clinical grounds.

    • sensitive to rifampicin by rapid sputum based test (may be sensitive or resistant to isoniazid) AND
    • either newly diagnosed for TB or have a patient history of being untreated for at least 3 years after cure from a previous episode of TB. If they are entered into the trial due to being sensitive to rifampicin by rapid sputum based test, however on receipt of the rifampicin resistance testing using an indirect susceptibility test in liquid culture this shows they are rifampicin resistant, they will be:

Non-childbearing potential:

  • Subject - not heterosexually active or practice sexual abstinence; or
  • Female subject or male subjects female sexual partner - bilateral oophorectomy, bilateral tubal ligation and/or hysterectomy or has been postmenopausal with a history of no menses for at least 12 consecutive months; or

and are willing to continue practising birth control methods and are not planning to conceive throughout treatment and for 12 weeks (male subjects) or 1 week (female subjects) after the last dose of trial medication or discontinuation from trial medication in case of premature discontinuation.

(Note: Hormone-based contraception alone may not be reliable when taking IMP; therefore,

Exclusion Criteria:

  2. Being or about to be treated for Malaria.
  3. Is critically ill and, in the judgment of the investigator, has a diagnosis likely to result in death during the trial or the follow-up period.
  4. TB meningitis or other forms of extrapulmonary tuberculosis with high risk of a poor outcome, or likely to require a longer course of therapy (such as TB of the bone or joint), as judged by the investigator.
  5. History of allergy or hypersensitivity to any of the trial IMP or related substances, including known allergy to any fluoroquinolone antibiotic, history of tendinopathy associated with quinolones or suspected hypersensitivity to any rifampicin antibiotics.
  6. For HIV infected subjects any of the following:

    • CD4+ count <100 cells/µL;
    • Karnofsky score <60%;
    • Received intravenous antifungal medication within the last 90 days;
    • WHO Clinical Stage 4 HIV disease.
  7. Resistant to fluoroquinolones (rapid, sputum - based molecular screening tests). If they are entered into the trial due to being sensitive to fluoroquinolones by rapid sputum based test, however on receipt of the fluoroquinolones resistance testing using an indirect susceptibility test in liquid culture this shows they are fluoroquinolones resistant, they will be:

    • Excluded as late exclusions;

  8. Resistant to pyrazinamide (rapid, sputum - based molecular screening tests).

    Drug-Sensitive TB treatment arms subjects may be entered prior to receipt of the rapid, sputum - based molecular pyrazinamide resistance screening test result. On receipt of the result, if they are resistant, they will be:

    • Excluded as late exclusions;
    • Possibly replaced as determined by the sponsor. MDR-TB treatment arm subjects may not be entered prior to receipt of the rapid, sputum - based molecular pyrazinamide resistance screening test result showing they are sensitive to pyrazinamide.
