Study summary

Pretomanid is being used in an antimicrobial combination regimen(s) to treat patients with pulmonary tuberculosis (TB). The primary purpose of the Male Reproductive Safety - "BPaMZ/SEM"- clinical study is to evaluate the potential effect of pretomanid on human testicular function whilst being used in a 26 weeks antimicrobial combination regimen consisting of bedaquiline (B) plus pretomanid (Pa) plus moxifloxacin (M) and pyrazinamide (Z) (BPaMZ).

Read the detailed description

The primary objective of this study is to assess the male reproductive safety of pretomanid in the regimen (BPaMZ) of bedaquiline 200mg (200mg daily for 8 weeks then 100 mg daily for 18 weeks), together with pretomanid 200 mg (1x daily) + moxifloxacin 400 mg (1x daily) + pyrazinamide 1500 mg (1 x daily) for 26 weeks in participants with drug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis (DR-TB).

The secondary objective of the study is to evaluate the tuberculosis (TB) treatment efficacy, safety and tolerability after 26 weeks of active treatment for TB and follow up until 52 weeks after end of the above-described treatment regimen in participants with DR-TB.

  5. Disease Characteristics:

    • Participants must have been diagnosed with TB prior to or at screening
    • Participants' TB should be resistant to rifampicin and/or isoniazid, and susceptible to fluoroquinolones by rapid sputum-based tests.
    • Participants who have had previous treatment for DR-TB for more than 3 months at start of screening should be discussed with the medical monitor.
  6. A chest x-ray, within 26 weeks prior to or at the screening visit, which in the opinion of the Investigator is compatible with pulmonary TB

  2. History of male infertility or vasectomy
  3. Unable to produce semen sample
  4. Evidence at screening of azoospermia
  5. Known erectile dysfunction that would prevent ejaculation.
  6. Historical or active disease process of the male reproductive tract that would compromise sperm production. e.g. tuberculous epididymitis.
  7. History of any illness that, in the opinion of the Investigator, might confound the results of the study or poses an additional risk to the participant by their participation in the study.
