Overview
The goal of this investigator initiated trial (IIT) is to learn if a 6-9months BDL regimen (bedaquiline plus delamanid plus linezolid)works to treat adults with multi-drug resistant tuberculosis or rifampicin-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis, in the context of Pretomanid not available in China. It will also learn about the safety of BDL regimen.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
- What is the percentage of participants with favorable treatment outcome at the end of treatment?
- What are the frequency and degree of AE and SAE associated with BDL regimen?
Participants will take Bedaquiline +Delamanid+ Linezolid for 6 months, option for 9 months for subjects who remain culture positive at month 4 to 6. Safety and efficacy data will be monitored and collected during treatment. A 12 month follow-up will be conducted after treatment completion.
Eligibility
