To compare the clinical and bacteriologic failure rates of the two study regimens at the completion of the study phase therapy.

To compare the clinical and bacteriologic response rates for the two study regimens among patients who began study phase therapy with signs and symptoms of tuberculosis or cultures positive for M. tuberculosis.

To compare the toxicity associated with the two study regimens by comparing discontinuation rates due to adverse events and occurrence rates of signs and symptoms associated with adverse events during study phase therapy.

To compare mortality rates of the two study regimens. To compare the rates of completion of therapy within 22 weeks for the two study regimens.

To compare the rate of development of drug-resistant tuberculosis in the two study regimens among study patients classified as treatment failures or relapses.

To compare all of the above performance characteristics for the two study regimens in a small subset of HIV seropositive patients.

To compare attitudes and beliefs about participation in this study between patients who complete study therapy and those who fail to complete study therapy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Rifapentine and Isoniazid in people with Pulmonary Tuberculosis, run by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention at 23 sites in 2 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Sep 2005. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 23 sites in United States, Canada. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00023335, which also lists 4 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 Sep 2005; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
