A Phase 3 interventional study of Bedaquiline (B) and Sitafloxacin (S) in Pulmonary Tuberculosis, sponsored by Shenzhen Third People's Hospital. Recruiting at 3 sites in China. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 65 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-12-01.

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major public health issue and one of the top ten causes of death from a single infectious disease worldwide. China is among the countries with the highest TB burden, ranking third globally for total TB cases and second for drug-resistant TB cases. PAN-TB is an innovative concept in TB treatment, aiming to develop a universal regimen effective for all forms of active TB, including both drug-susceptible and drug-resistant strains. The primary goal of the PAN-TB regimen is to simplify the treatment process, reduce costs, and improve treatment success rates. The ideal Target Regimen Profile (TRP) for PAN-TB includes superior efficacy compared to standard treatment for non-drug-resistant TB, a reduced treatment duration from the current 4-6 months to 2-3 months, and improved safety and tolerability. This project aims to explore a new ultra-short-course treatment regimen for both drug-sensitive (DS-TB) and drug-resistant TB (MDR/RR-TB), which aligns with the latest trends in TB treatment both domestically and internationally. The regimen also has significant practical implications for enhancing treatment efficacy and reducing patient burden. Furthermore, the study will explore the identification of new biomarkers closely linked to treatment outcomes over the course of full-cycle therapy.

Exclusion criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.
Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.
Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.
Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.
A line of therapy is one course of treatment, which may combine several drugs. First-line is the first course given; second-line follows when that stops working or is not tolerated.
“Two prior lines” means two courses that count separately under the study’s rules — not simply two drugs. Ask the study team if you are unsure how yours are counted.
A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.
It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.
A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.
A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.
Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.
Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.
Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.
On an ECG, the QT interval is the time the heart’s lower chambers take to activate electrically and recover in each beat. QTc is that time adjusted for heart rate (QTcF by Fridericia’s formula, QTcB by Bazett’s). Some medicines lengthen it, and a long QTc can raise the risk of a dangerous heart rhythm.
The study may name a correction formula and a limit in milliseconds, often around 450–480.
A condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease.
Immunotherapy studies often leave out active autoimmune disease, and some name exceptions, such as thyroid disease on replacement hormone. Check the exceptions this study lists.
Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.
Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.
The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.
“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.
The protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. A low level is anaemia, which can cause tiredness and breathlessness. Measured in g/dL or g/L (9 g/dL is 90 g/L).
Blood cells that help blood clot. Too few raises the risk of bleeding and bruising. A usual adult range is about 150–400 × 10⁹/L (150,000–400,000 per µL); each lab has its own reference range.
A recording of the heart’s electrical activity, taken with stickers on the chest, arms and legs. It takes a few minutes and does not hurt.

2 months (9 weeks) BLSZ regimen: The treatment involves the use of bedaquiline (B), linezolid (L), sitafloxacin (S), and pyrazinamide (Z) throughout the entire process. At the end of 2 months (9 weeks) of treatment, if the sputum smear is still positive or if clinical symptoms have not improved, the treatment duration can be extended to 13 weeks. After the extended treatment period (3 months or 13 weeks), if the sputum smear remains positive or if clinical symptoms have not been relieved, the patient should be switched to the standard treatment regimen, and the subject should be withdrawn from the study.
