Brief summary

This is an investigational, prospective, multicenter, single-arm, open label trial. The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a 6-month all-oral regimen, consisting of Bedaquiline (BDQ, B), Delamanid (DLM, D), Linezolid (LZD, L), Levofloxacin (LFX) or Clofazimine (CFZ, C), or BDLLfxC regimen, to treat rifampin-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis (RR-TB) in Chinese teenagers and adults (aged 12 years or above). The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is BDLLfxC regimen effective to treat RR-TB in Chinese participants? * Is BDLLfxC regimen safe in Chinese RR-TB participants? Participants will take BDLLfxC regimen to treat their RR-TB. There will be no additional hospital visits, laboratory tests or radiological examinations other than routine clinical practice.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Proportion of participants with favorable outcomes in both treatment and follow-up periodUp to 72 weeks after start of treatmentFavorable outcome in treatment period (up to 28 weeks after start of treatment): a participant's outcome will be defined as favorable if it meets any of the following below and has not been defined as unfavorable before, 1. . Cured: complete at least 80% of total required dose per protocol, with negative culture results of last two sputum samples (collected 14 days apart) ; 2. . Treatment completed: complete at least 80% of total required dose per protocol, with NO negative culture results of last two sputum samples (collected 14 days apart); Favorable outcome in follow-up period (from end of treatment to 72 weeks after start of treatment): a participant's outcome will be defined as favorable if it meets any of the following below and has not been defined as unfavorable before, (1). Cured: sputum culture negative at 72 weeks from start of treatment; (2). Culture negative when last seen: loss to follow-up before 72 weeks, with negative sputum culture when last seen.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Proportion of participants with grade 3 or 4 adverse effectUp to 72 weeks after start of treatmentAdverse effect will be graded using Division of AIDS (DAIDS) Table for Grading the Severity of Adult and Pediatric Adverse Events, Corrected Version 2.1.
Proportion of participants with favorable outcomes in treatment period, follow-up period and prolonged follow-up period, respectivelyUp to 108 weeks after start of treatmentThe definitions of favorable outcome in treatment and follow-up period are as described in primary outcome. Favorable outcome in prolonged follow-up period (from end of treatment to 108 weeks after start of treatment): a participant's outcome will be defined as favorable if it meets any of the following below and has not been defined as unfavorable before, (1). Cured: sputum culture negative at 108 weeks from start of treatment; (2). Culture negative when last seen: loss to follow-up before 108 weeks, with negative sputum culture when last seen.
Time to culture conversionUp to 72 weeks after start of treatmentTime from start of treatment to the first time that obtained two consecutive negative sputum culture results, and the sputum samples must be collected 14 days apart.
