A 6-Month MDR-END Plus Regimen for Rifampicin-Resistant Tuberculosis (MDR-ENDPlus)

23 de junho de 2026 atualizado por: Jae-Joon Yim, Seoul National University Hospital

A Phase 3, Open-Label, Randomised Controlled Trial to Evaluate a 6-Month "MDR-END Plus" Regimen (Bedaquiline, Delamanid, Delpazolid, Levofloxacin and Pyrazinamide) Versus the South African Standard of Care Treatment for Rifampicin-Resistant Tuberculosis

This is a phase 3, open-label, randomized clinical trial in adults and adolescents aged 15 years or older who need treatment for rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis in South Africa.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether a 6-month MDR-END Plus regimen works as well as current standard of care (SoC) treatment for rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis. The trial will also learn whether the MDR-END Plus regimen is safer and easier to tolerate than SoC regimens.

The main questions this trial aims to answer are:

  • Does the MDR-END Plus regimen lead to a favorable treatment outcome 12 months after treatment is stopped, compared with SoC regimens?
  • Do participants receiving the MDR-END Plus regimen have fewer important safety or tolerability problems during treatment and up to 90 days after treatment is stopped, compared with SoC regimens?

Researchers will compare the MDR-END Plus regimen with South African standard of care (SoC) treatment for rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis.

Participants will:

  • Be randomly assigned to receive either the MDR-END Plus regimen or SoC treatment.
  • Take tuberculosis medicines for about 6 months, although treatment may be extended in some cases.
  • Attend study visits during treatment and after treatment is stopped.
  • Have clinical assessments, blood tests, heart tracing tests, vision and nerve assessments, and tuberculosis tests.
  • Be followed for 12 months after treatment is stopped.

Descrição detalhada

This is a phase 3, multi-site, open-label, randomized controlled trial conducted in South Africa. The study will enroll adults and adolescents aged 15 years or older who require treatment for pulmonary rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis.

Participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either the investigational arm or the control arm. Randomization will be stratified by study site and HIV status. The study is open-label because participants and investigators will know which treatment is assigned.

Participants in the investigational arm will receive the MDR-END Plus regimen, consisting of bedaquiline, delamanid, delpazolid, levofloxacin, and pyrazinamide. Regimen adaptations may be made according to the drug susceptibility profile of the participant's Mycobacterium tuberculosis strain and drug suitability. Treatment may be extended according to protocol-defined criteria.

Participants in the control arm will receive South African standard of care (SoC) treatment for rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis according to national guidance and site practice.

Participants will attend study visits during treatment and after treatment discontinuation. Study assessments will include clinical evaluations, safety laboratory tests, electrocardiograms, microbiological assessments, and protocol-specified safety and tolerability assessments. Participants will be followed for 12 months after treatment discontinuation.

The primary efficacy analysis will assess whether the MDR-END Plus regimen is non-inferior to SoC regimens for favorable treatment outcome at 12 months after treatment discontinuation. The co-primary safety and tolerability analysis will assess whether the MDR-END Plus regimen is superior to SoC regimens during treatment and up to 90 days after treatment discontinuation, contingent upon demonstration of efficacy non-inferiority.
