Study summary

A Phase 2 Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Tolerability and Early Bactericidal Activity of Nebulised RESP30TB in Adults with Newly Diagnosed, Rifampicin Susceptible Pulmonary Tuberculosis

Read the detailed description

This is a single-centre, open-label, single arm, clinical trial in two sequential stages, with no stratification. 12 patients will be enrolled in Stage 1, and a further 12 patients will be enrolled in Stage 2 (total of 24 patients in the trial).

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  1. Provide written, prior to all trial-related procedures and agree to undergo all trial procedures.
  2. Body weight (in light clothing and with no shoes) between 40 and 90 kg, inclusive.
  3. Newly diagnosed pulmonary TB.
  4. Rifampicin susceptible pulmonary TB as determined by molecular testing.
  5. Ability to produce an adequate volume of sputum as estimated from a pre-treatment overnight sputum collection sample (estimated 10 mL or more).
  6. Spirometry performed during screening with a Forced Expiration Volume in the first second () of ≥ 40%.
  7. Be of non- or willing to use effective methods of , as defined in section 4.3.4.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. positive AND CD4 \< 350 cells/mm3 OR are receiving antiviral therapy (ART)
  2. Baseline Methaemoglobin saturation (SpMet) >3%.
  3. Female patients who is pregnant or breast-feeding.
  4. Patients planning to conceive a child within the anticipated period of trial participation and for at least 90 days after the last dose of IMP in the trial.
  5. Participation in other clinical studies with agents within 8 weeks prior to screening.
  6. Treatment received for this episode of TB with any drug active against M.tb
  7. Treatment with medications such as TNF-alpha inhibitors within 2 weeks prior to screening, or systemic for more than 7 days within 2 weeks prior to screening.
  8. Treatment with NO and other NO donor agents, phosphodiesterase inhibitors and lung surfactant drugs, within 30 days prior to screening.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(8)

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.

Informed consent

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.

FEV1

From a breathing test (spirometry): how much air you can blow out in the first second. Often given as a percentage of what is expected for your age, height and sex.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Contraception

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.

HIV

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.

Investigational drug or device

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.

Immunosuppression

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.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

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.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Safety and Tolerability of Inhaled RESP30TB Measured as Number of Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Oct 2025 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Sep 2026, 11 months after the start.

Of 43 phase 2 interventional studies under Tuberculosis, Pulmonary, half reached primary completion within 30 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 21 and three quarters within 37. This study's planned 11 months is below that.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jan 12, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
