Summary: A seamless, staged Phase II/III, open-label, multicenter, non-inferiority trial, to compare the efficacy and safety of 4 weeks of bedaquiline (BDQ) versus a a standard regimen for preventing regimen for preventing confirmed or probable tuberculosis disease (TBD) during 72 weeks of follow-up among people living with HIV (PLHIV) and high-risk Close Contacts (CC) of adults with Drug Susceptible (DS) ...

Summary: While drug-susceptible tuberculosis (TB) disease in children currently requires four to six months of treatment, most children may be able to be cured with a shorter treatment of more powerful drugs. Shorter treatment may be easier for children to tolerate and finish as well as ease caregiver strain from managing treatment side effects and supporting children over many months. The primary objectiv...

Summary: Our study rationale is based on: 1. Tuberculosis Preventive Treatment (TPT) is given to healthy people and needs to be safe; 2. Tuberculosis Preventive Treatment (TPT) with shorter regimens are superior with respect to acceptance, completion, and costs; 3. 4 months of Rifampin 10mg/kg (4R10) is the safest regimen, but is completed by \<80% of patients; 4. The safety of 2 months of Rifampin 20mg/kg...
