About this study

Official title: A Phase III Placebo-controlled, Double-blind, Randomized Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of TMC207 in Subjects With Sputum Smear-positive Pulmonary Infection With Multi-drug Resistant Mycobacterium Tuberculosis (MDR-TB)

The purpose of this study is to provide safety and efficacy data for TMC207 and to demonstrate that TMC207 added to a background regimen (BR) is superior to treatment with the BR plus placebo.

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized (individuals will be assigned by chance to study treatments), double-blind (individual and investigator will not know the identity of study treatments), placebo (substance containing no active medication)-controlled, 2-arm study in patients with sputum smear-positive pulmonary infection with multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) defined as tuberculosis (TB) due to infection with a strain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) that is resistant to both isoniazid and rifampin, or pre-extensively drug resistant (pre-XDR-TB) defined as TB due to infection with an MDR strain of M. tuberculosis that is resistant either to at least one of the injectable second-line drugs [amikacin, kanamycin, or capreomycin] or to any fluoroquinolone, but not both). Approximately 600 patients with sputum smear-positive pulmonary infection with MDR-TB or pre-XDR TB will receive a background regimen (BR) of MDR-TB therapy and will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to one of 2 treatment arms (Arms A [TMC207 + BR] and B [placebo + BR]). All patients will receive TMC207 or placebo in combination with a BR of MDR-TB therapy. TMC207 (or matching placebo) will be taken as oral tablets at a once daily dose of 400 mg for the first 2 weeks and 200 mg 3 times/week for the remaining period of TMC207 (or matching placebo) administration. The study will consist of a screening phase of a maximum of 3 weeks, a 36-week double-blind treatment phase, followed by a 48-week follow-up phase up to Week 84, also referred to as the treatment-free follow-up. After the treatment-free follow-up phase, there will be a safety follow-up phase of 48 weeks up to Week 132. Patients from Arms A or B who fail treatment according to prespecified criteria will be given the option to receive 24 weeks of TMC207 plus an individualized salvage regimen taken for a duration consistent with national TB guidelines. Efficacy and pharmacokinetic evaluations will be performed at time points as detailed in the protocol. Safety will be monitored throughout the study.

If only one positive culture is reported during that time, a patient may still be considered cured, provided that this positive culture is followed by a minimum of 3 consecutive negative cultures taken at least 30 days apart. Treatment failure is defined as a patient who completed the study procedures and was not cured as per the "Cure" definition based on the WHO classification during the study procedures. Defaults is defined as patients who discontinued study procedures for any reason. Treatment completed is defined as an MDR-TB patient who has completed the study procedures but does not meet the definition for cure or treatment failure due to lack of bacteriologic results.

    Measured: Up to Week 132

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Arm A Double-blind Phase: TMC207, Treatment Failure During Double-blind Phase: TMC207 and Treatment Failure During Follow-up Phase: TMC207 in people with Multi-drug Resistant Tuberculosis, run by Janssen Infectious Diseases BVBA at 44 sites in 17 countries.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Dec 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 44 sites in China, Russia, South Korea, Taiwan, Brazil and 12 more countries. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of patients with favorable treatment outcome at Week 60 (time frame: Week 60). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 2 Dec 2015.
