Body weight (in light clothing and no shoes) ¿ 30 kg. 4. Sputum positive for tubercule bacilli (at least 1+ on the IUATLD/WHO scale (Appendix 1)) on smear microscopy at the trial laboratory. 5. Drug-Sensitive TB treatment arms subjects should be: a. sensitive to rifampicin by rapid sputum based test (may be sensitive or resistant to isoniazid) AND b. either newly diagnosed for TB or have a patient history of being untreated for at least 3 years after cure from a previous episode of TB. If they are entered into the trial due to being sensitive to rifampicin by rapid sputum based test, however on receipt of the rifampicin resistance testing using an indirect susceptibility test in liquid culture this shows they are rifampicin resistant, they will be: a. Excluded as late exclusions; b. Possibly replaced as determined by the sponsor. MDR-TB treatment arm subjects should be resistant to rifampicin by rapid sputum based test (may be sensitive or resistant to isoniazid). 6. A chest x-ray which in the opinion of the investigator is compatible with pulmonary TB. 7. Be of non-childbearing potential or using effective methods of birth control.
