Feasibility of the Application of a New Six-month Treatment for Multidrug-resistant Tuberculosis (MDR-TB) Patients in France (FAST-MDR)
A Phase 3 study testing Bedaquiline Oral Tablet in people with MDR-TB and Tuberculosis Multi Drug Resistant Active, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris at 5 sites in France.
Trial summary
The FAST-MDR trial is an externally-controlled, multicentre trial with one prospective arm, evaluating the non-inferiority of the effectiveness of BPaLM in the interventional arm versus the effectiveness of the long, conventional regimen in a French historical cohort of MDR-TB patients (2006-2022).

Key requirements
Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.
- Ages 18 years and older
- All sexes
- No healthy volunteers
- Adult, Older adult
Who may be able to join
- Is 18 years old or more
- Is affected by bacteriologically- or molecularly-confirmed tuberculosis, due to strains of M. tuberculosis resistant to rifampicin (with or without resistance to isoniazid) according to a rapid molecular test
- Is willing and able to give informed consent to be enrolled in the research project (signed or witnessed consent if the patient is illiterate)
- Patients seen in consultation or hospitalized in one of the centers involved for rifampicin-resistant TB, with screening results available and compatible within 14 days following consent signature;
- Is willing to use effective* contraception: women with childbearing potential** must agree to use effective contraception, unless their partner has had a vasectomy, for the duration of study treatment and up to 6 months after the end of study treatment; men who have not had a vasectomy must agree to use effective contraception for the duration of study treatment and up to 3 months after the end of study treatment;
- The following contraception methods are considered effective, according to local regulation (CTFG recommendations, March 2024):

- Combined hormonal contraception (oestrogen + progestin)
- Progestin-only hormonal contraception
- Intrauterine device (IUD)
- Intrauterine hormone-releasing system (IUS)
- Bilateral tubal occlusion

- A woman is considered of childbearing potential (WOCBP), i.e. fertile, following menarche and until becoming post-menopausal unless permanently sterile. Permanent sterilisation methods include hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy and bilateral oophorectomy. A postmenopausal state is defined as no menses for 12 months without an alternative medical cause. A high follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level in the postmenopausal range may be used to confirm a post-menopausal state in women not using hormonal contraception or hormonal replacement therapy. However in the absence of 12 months of amenorrhea, a single FSH measurement is insufficient.

About this study
Official title: Feasibility of the Application of a New Six-month Treatment for Multidrug-resistant Tuberculosis (MDR-TB) Patients in France - FAST-MDR
The FAST-MDR trial is an externally-controlled, multicentre trial with one prospective arm, evaluating the non-inferiority of the effectiveness of BPaLM in the interventional arm versus the effectiveness of the long, conventional regimen in a French historical cohort of MDR-TB patients (2006-2022). In light of recent WHO recommendations suggesting using BPaLM as a first choice for routine MDR-TB treatment and of the expected benefits of BPaLM over the standard treatment, there will be no internal comparator arm in the study.
Read the detailed description
This study will be conducted in all adult patients diagnosed at the study sites with rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis.
The study will assess a treatment strategy, with the regimen being adapted to the result of rapid molecular testing and phenotypic DST for fluoroquinolone resistance. Study participants will perform a rapid molecular test for fluoroquinolone resistance at screening/baseline visit: if the result is susceptible, they will receive BPaLM; if the result is resistant, they will receive a regimen with clofazimine instead of moxifloxacin (BPaLC); if the result is inconclusive, they will receive BPaLM plus clofazimine (BPaLMC). In this latter case, the regimen will be adapted according to result of phenotypic DST for fluoroquinolones: in case of susceptibility, clofazimine will be dropped (BPaLM); in case of resistance, moxifloxacin will be dropped (BPaLC).

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Bedaquiline Oral Tablet in people with MDR-TB and Tuberculosis Multi Drug Resistant Active, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris at 5 sites in France.
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 14 inclusion and 14 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Sep 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 5 sites in France. 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?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Lorenzo GUGLIELMETTI, MD (01 40 77 97 46, lorenzo.guglielmetti@aphp.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Effectiveness of BPaLM compared to conventional MDR-TB regimens (time frame: Day 0 to Month 18). 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 16 Sep 2026.
