panTB-HM: a clinical trial of a pan-TB regimen targeting both host and microbe
Abstract
Background Newer oxazolidinones will be required to advance regimens in pan-TB indications. The addition of host-directed agents may help promote the recovery of lung function during TB treatment and prevent post-TB lung disease. Methods The panTB-HM trial assesses the capacity of regimens containing the oxazolidinone sutezolid and the anti-oxidant N-acetylcysteine to meet the target criteria proposed by WHO for pan-TB indications in a phase 2C trial. Discussion This trial is ground-breaking in its objectives and design for a pan-TB indication and its evaluation of lung function recovery. Trial registration The protocol was first registered on clinicaltrials.gov as NCT05686356 on 13 Jan 2023.
