In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The goal of this interventional trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the loading dose regimen 200/100SPaL-4/13 weeks, and the 100SPaL -17 weeks regimen in adults with newly diagnosed, drug-sensitive, smear-positive pulmonary tuberculosis. Participants (18-65 years) will be randomised 1:1, stratified by country and disease severity, to receive either : 1. a sorfequiline loading-dose regimen (200 mg daily for 4 weeks followed by 100 mg daily for 13 weeks) plus pretomanid 200 mg and linezolid 600 mg daily, or 2. sorfequiline 100 mg daily for 17 weeks plus pretomanid 200 mg and linezolid 600 mg daily. Study treatment is administered orally once daily with food. The primary objective is to assess safety through 17 weeks of treatment, including treatment-emergent adverse events, ECG findings, vital signs, laboratory assessments, visual acuity, and peripheral neuropathy.
