A Phase IIB, Open-Label, Randomized Controlled Dose Ranging Multi-Center Trial to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Exposure-Response Relationship of Different Doses of Sutezolid in Combination With Bedaquiline, Delamanid and Moxifloxacin in Adult Subjects With Newly Diagnosed, Uncomplicated, Smear-Positive, Drug-sensitive Pulmonary Tuberculosis

PanACEA-SUDOCU-01

This study is an open-label, randomized, controlled, multi-center Phase IIB dose-finding trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and exposure-response-relationship of different doses of sutezolid (STZ) in combination with bedaquiline, delamanid and moxifloxacin in adults with newly diagnosed, uncomplicated, smear positive and drug sensitive pulmonary tuberculosis. Participants will be randomized to one of five arms containing bedaquiline, delamanid and moxifloxacin with different doses of STZ (0mg, 600mg once daily (OD), 1200mg OD, 600 mg twice daily (BD), 800 mg BD). Study treatment duration will be three months, followed by a follow-up period of 2 weeks. The primary objective is to identify the optimal dose of sutezolid to be used in subsequent studies that provides the best efficacy at acceptable safety of the drug by describing the safety, tolerability and exposure toxicity relationship of sutezolid (and its main metabolite) given over three months, in combination with standard-dose bedaquiline, delamanid and moxifloxacin, compared to standard-dose bedaquiline, delamanid and moxifloxacin alone.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Provide written, informed consent prior to all trial-related procedures including HIV testing. 2. Male or female, aged between 18 and 65 years, inclusive. 3. Body weight (in light clothing and with no shoes) between 40 and 90 kg, inclusive. 4. Newly diagnosed, previously untreated, drug susceptible pulmonary TB: presence of MDR-TB complex and rapid molecular tests result confirming susceptibility to Rifampicin (RIF) and Isoniazid (INH) such as GeneXpert and/or HAIN MTBDR plus. 5. A chest X-ray (no older than 2 weeks) which, in the opinion of the Investigator, is consistent with TB. 6. Sputum positive on microscopy from concentrated sputum for acid-fast bacilli on at least one sputum sample (at least 1+ on the International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease (IUATLD) /WHO scale). 7. The participant is willing to forgo consumption of foods high in tyramine for the period of taking study medication 8. The participant is either unable to conceive/father children AND/OR his/her partner is unable to conceive/father children AND/OR they will be using effective methods of contraception, as defined below: a. Non-childbearing potential: i. Female participant/sexual partner of male participant - bilateral oophorectomy, and/or hysterectomy or bilateral tubal ligation more than 12 months ago and/or has been postmenopausal with a history of no menses for at least 12 consecutive months ii. Male participant/sexual partner of female participant - vasectomised or has had a bilateral orchidectomy minimally three months prior to screening b. Effective contraception methods: i. Female participants: two methods, including methods that the patient's sexual partner(s) use. At least one must be a barrier method. Contraception must be practised for at least until 12 weeks after the last dose of STZ. (Note: hormone-based contraception alone may not be reliable when taking RIF during continuation Phase; therefore, hormone-based contraceptives alone cannot be used by female participants/female partners of male participants to prevent pregnancy). ii. Male participants must ensure effective contraception for at least 12 weeks after the last dose of STZ that includes at least one barrier method. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Circumstances that raise doubt about free, unconstrained consent to study participation (e.g. in a prisoner or mentally handicapped person) 2. Poor general condition where delay in treatment cannot be tolerated or death within three months is likely. 3. Poor social condition which would make it unlikely that the patient would be able to complete follow-up 4. The patient is pregnant or breast-feeding. 5. The patient is infected with HIV with a cluster of differentiation (CD) 4 count \<220 cells/mm3. If \>220 cells/mm3, patients will be included only if any of the following is applicable: * The patient is antiretroviral (ARV) naïve and able to postpone commencing HIV treatment for 2 months after the trial has started and then restrict regimens to those containing dolutegravir (see section 12.6.2 on ARVs) or The patient is ARV experienced (has been on ARV´s a minimum of 5 months) and able to switch to a dolutegravir-based regimen. * Nucleosidic reverse transcriptase inhibitors are permitted as concomitant medication. * Protease inhibitors as part of antiretroviral treatment regimens: need to be stopped at least 3 days before the start of study treatment (WK00, d1) for a patient to be eligible. * Efavirenz as part of antiretroviral treatment regimens: may not be taken during 14 days before the start of study treatment (WK00, d1) for a patient to be eligible. 6. The patient has a known intolerance to any of the study drugs or concomitant disorders or conditions for which study drugs or standard TB treatment are contraindicated. 7. The patient has a history of, or current evidence of clinically relevant cardiovascular metabolic, gastrointestinal, neurological, psychiatric or endocrine diseases, malignancy, or any other condition that will influence treatment response, study adherence or survival in the judgement of the investigator, especially: 1. Conditions or history that predispose to epileptic seizures: personal or first-degree family history of epileptic seizures, stroke or transient ischemic attack, or history of severe traumatic head or brain injury, or meningitis/encephalitis, or others 2. Neuropathy, or significant psychiatric disorder like depression or schizophrenia; especially if treatment for those has ever been required or is anticipated to be required 3. Clinically significant evidence of severe TB (e.g. miliary TB, TB meningitis, but not limited lymph node involvement) 4.
