Brief summary (registry, in English)

\# Brief Summary This study aims to evaluate the early bactericidal activity (EBA), safety, and tolerability of 4-month short-course regimens containing bedaquiline, moxifloxacin, and pyrazinamide in patients with drug-susceptible tuberculosis. This is a prospective, randomized, controlled, multicenter study planned to enroll 45 rifampicin-susceptible tuberculosis patients, who will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to the BZMD group (bedaquiline + pyrazinamide + moxifloxacin + delamanid), BZMH group (bedaquiline + pyrazinamide + moxifloxacin + isoniazid), and standard control group. Subjects in the test groups will receive 17 weeks (4 months) of group-specific treatment regimens, while subjects in the control group will receive 26 weeks (6 months) of standard HRZE regimen treatment. The primary endpoint is the change from baseline in log₁₀ colony-forming units (CFU) per milliliter of sputum specimen from Day 0 (pre-dose) to Day 14 of treatment (EBA CFU₀-₁₄), used to evaluate the early bactericidal activity of the drugs. Secondary endpoints include EBA CFU and EBA TTP (time to positive culture) at other time intervals, pharmacokinetic characteristics, sustained microbiological clearance rates, relapse rates, and safety indicators. The study will analyze the daily decline in log₁₀ CFU counts and daily increase in TTP using nonlinear mixed-effects models to reflect the bactericidal activity of the study regimens. This study will help provide more effective and safer short-course treatment options for Chinese patients with drug-susceptible tuberculosis, thereby improving treatment adherence and treatment success rates, and providing scientific evidence for optimizing short-course treatment regimens for drug-susceptible tuberculosis.
