November 22, 2012 updated by: Seoul National University Hospital

Comparison of the Effect Between Levofloxacin and Moxifloxacin on the Culture Conversion After 3 Months Treatment Among MDR-TB Patients; Prospective Multicenter Randomized Open Label Phase III Trial

Fluoroquinolone is a one of the most important drugs for treatment of multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB). Among them, levofloxacin and moxifloxacin has been used most widely. However, there is no study to directly compare the efficacy of levofloxacin and moxifloxacin among MDR-TB patients. The investigators will compare the efficacy of levofloxacin and moxifloxacin through a prospective multicenter randomized open label phase III trial.
