1. PROTOCOL SYNOPSIS
1.1. 
Synopsis 
Name of Sponsor/Company: 
Global Alliance for TB Drug Development 
Name of Finished Products: 
bedaquiline tablets; pretomanid tablets; linezolid tablets. 
Protocol Title: 
A Phase 3 open-label trial assessing the safety and efficacy of bedaquiline plus 
pretomanid plus linezolid in Subjects with pulmonary infection of either extensively 
drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB) or treatment intolerant / non-responsive multi-drug 
resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) 
Treatment Indication: 
Pulmonary XDR-TB and treatment intolerant/non-responsive MDR-TB 
Trial Objective: 
To evaluate the efficacy, safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of bedaquiline plus 
pretomanid plus linezolid after 6 months of treatment (option for 9 months for subjects 
who remain culture positive or revert to being culture positive between month 4 and 
month 6 visits) in Subjects with either pulmonary XDR tuberculosis, treatment intolerant 
or non-responsive multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB).  
Trial Design: 
An open-label clinical trial. 
Treatment:  
•
bedaquiline 400 mg once daily for 2 weeks then 200mg 3 times per week plus
pretomanid 200mg once daily plus linezolid 1200mg once daily. All IMP to be
given with a meal.
Treatment Duration: 
•
6 months
•
If subjects are still culture positive at month 4, option to extend treatment to 9
months or withdraw.
Follow-Up: 
•
Subjects who complete treatment will return for follow-up visits 1, 2 and 3
months after end of treatment then every 3 months up to 24 months after end
of treatment.
•
Subjects who withdraw after <14 days of IMP administration are to return for an
Early Withdrawal visit only;
•
Subjects who withdraw after >15 days of IMP are to return for the Early
Withdrawal, and for the 3, 6,  and 24 month follow up visits after their last dose
of IMP.
Data Safety Monitoring Committee (DSMC) Reviews: 
Interim Safety/Efficacy data will be reviewed by DSMC as follows: 
•
At least every 6 months after the first subject is enrolled;
•
Ad hoc meetings can be called by Sponsor/DSMC based on rates of SAEs or to
review results of futility analysis or if safety concerns arise during the trial.
Patient Population: 
A total of up to 200 male or female Subjects aged 14 and over with confirmed sputum 
culture-positive pulmonary XDR-TB or MDR-TB with a documented intolerability or 
nonresponse to treatment.

Name of Sponsor/Company: 
Global Alliance for TB Drug Development 
Name of Finished Products: 
bedaquiline tablets; pretomanid tablets; linezolid tablets.  
Test Product, Dose and 
Mode of Administration: 
The Investigational Medicinal Product (IMP) will be supplied as: 
• 
Bedaquiline 100mg tablets 
• 
Pretomanid 200mg tablets 
• 
Scored Linezolid 600 mg tablets 
  
The assigned treatment regimen will be administered orally for 6 months (possibly 9 
months) at the following doses and intervals: 
• 
Bedaquiline 400 mg once daily for 2 weeks then 200 mg 3 times per week; plus 
pretomanid 
200mg 
once 
daily; 
plus 
linezolid 
1200mg 
once 
daily. 
 
A reduction in the dose of linezolid (to either 600 mg qd or 300 mg qd) or temporary 
cessation of linezolid (due to a linezolid-specific toxicity), or of the full regimen per 
Investigator discretion will be allowed for suspected drug related toxicity.  Re-introduction 
of the regimen could be considered post a cessation not greater than 35 consecutive days. 
 
 If subjects have toxicity issues with linezolid prohibiting further treatment with that drug, 
they can remain on the bedaquiline and pretomanid study IMP if they received the initial 
total of 1200 mg daily dose of linezolid for at least the first 4 consecutive weeks of 
treatment and they are smear negative, or with trace/scanty results and judged to be 
clinically improving by the Investigator. 
 
Criteria for Evaluation: 
 
Primary Endpoint: 
Incidence of bacteriologic failure or relapse or clinical failure through follow up until 6 months after the end of treatment. 
 
Abbreviated Definitions (full definitions will be described in the Statistical Analysis Plan (SAP)): 
• 
Bacteriologic failure: During the treatment period, failure to attain culture conversion to negative. 
• 
Bacteriologic relapse: During the follow-up period, failure to maintain culture conversion to negative status in 
culture, with culture conversion to positive status with a Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb.) strain that is 
genetically identical to the infecting strain at baseline.  
• 
Clinical failure: A change from protocol-specified TB treatment due to treatment failure, retreatment for TB 
during follow up, or TB-related death.  
 
Note: 
• 
Culture conversion requires at least 2 consecutive culture negative/positive samples at least 7 days apart. 
• 
Subjects who are documented at a visit as unable to produce sputum and who are clinically considered to be   
        responding well to treatment will be considered to be culture negative at that visit. 
 
Secondary Endpoints: 
• 
Incidence of bacteriologic failure or relapse or clinical failure through follow up until 24 months after the end of 
treatment as a confirmatory analysis. 
• 
Time to sputum culture conversion to negative status through the treatment period. 
• 
Proportion of subjects with sputum culture conversion to negative status at 4, 6, 8, 12, 16 and 26 or 39 weeks. 
• 
Linezolid dosing (actual) and efficacy will be explored. 
• 
Change from baseline TB symptoms. 
• 
Change from baseline in Patient Reported Health Status.  
• 
Change from baseline weight.

Name of Finished Products: 
bedaquiline tablets; pretomanid tablets; linezolid tablets.  
Safety and Tolerability: 
• 
All cause mortality. 
• 
Incidence of Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) will be presented by severity (DMID Toxicity Grade), 
drug relatedness and seriousness, leading to early withdrawal and leading to death.   
• 
Quantitative and qualitative clinical laboratory result measurements, including observed and change from 
baseline.  
• 
Quantitative and qualitative measurement of ECG results, including observed and change from baseline. 
• 
Descriptive statistics of ophthalmology slit lamp examination data (age related eye disease study 2 [AREDS2] lens 
opacity classification and grading). Categorical data for lens opacity will be summarized in a frequency table for 
the right and left eye, respectively, including change from baseline. 
• 
Changes in ophthalmic exam for visual acuity and color vision, including observed and change from baseline. 
• 
Changes noted in peripheral neuropathy signs and symptoms, including observed and change from baseline. 
• 
These data will be presented as descriptive analyses, and no inferential tests will be carried out. 
 
Pharmakokinetics (PK): 
Pharmacokinetics will consist of two separate schedules: 
• 
All Subjects- Pre-dose sampling at weeks 2, 8 and 16 to measure Ctrough levels of bedaquiline, bedaquiline 
metabolite M2, linezolid and pretomanid. 
• 
PK Sub-study Subjects- in addition to the Ctrough samples, there will be intensive PK sampling at week 16 at pre-
dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8 12, 12.5, 13, 14, 16, 20 and 24 hours after dosing in a sub-group of 20 evaluable Subjects 
across 
selected 
sites. 
 
For the PK sub-study samples, the following PK parameters will be estimated from the individual (per Subject) PK plasma 
concentrations: Minimum observed PK plasma concentration (Cmin), maximum observed PK plasma concentration(Cmax), 
time to reach Cmax obtained without interpolation (Tmax), area under the PK plasma concentration time (t) curve from 
zero to the last quantifiable PK plasma concentration prior to the subsequent dose, using the linear trapezoidal rule 
(AUC(0-t)), area under the PK plasma concentration time (t) curve from zero to 24 hours (AUC(0-24)).  Oral apparent 
clearance (CL/F) by non-compartment model. These will be derived for each analyte. In addition, for linezolid analyte BID 
dose, the AUC0-12, Cmax, Cmin, CL/F and t1/2 will be calculated based on dose interval 0-12 hrs. 
 
Exploratory: 
• 
Evaluate whether any of the secondary endpoints predicts relapse free cure. 
• 
Subgroup analyses of the primary endpoint on the MITT analysis population will be considered 
• 
Correlation of Time over mitochondrial protein synthesis inhibition (MPS50) with linezolid toxicity (The MPS50 
will be an assumed value from the literature). 
 
Mycobacteriology Characterization: 
M.tb. isolates at baseline and initial relapse (first positive at end of treatment or during follow-up) will be processed at 
the central lab(s) for: 
• 
MIC of bedaquiline, pretomanid and linezolid; 
• 
Drug Susceptibility Testing in liquid culture for rifampicin, isoniazid, streptomycin, ethambutol, and second line 
TB drugs including fluoroquinolones and injectables; 
• 
Extraction of bacterial (M.tb) DNA for molecular genotyping; 
 
M.tb. isolates at baseline and initial relapse (first positive at end of treatment or during follow-up) or any positive at or 
after the week 16 visit will also be processed at the study lab (lab where study samples are initially sent from site for 
culture) for: 
• 
Speciation of the infecting organism by molecular or antigen based test to confirm M.tb.

Statistical Methods: 
The primary efficacy endpoint is treatment failure, defined as bacteriologic failure, or relapse, or clinical failure through 
follow-up until 6 months after the end of treatment.  The probability of treatment failure through follow-up until 6 months 
after the end of treatment, as a function of time after assignment of study treatment, will be analyzed using Kaplan-Meier 
analysis. The binomial proportion for subjects with bacteriologic failure will be presented. No multiplicity adjustments for 
alpha will be done as this is an exploratory trial. 
Futility Analysis: 
Timing of initial interim analysis will be conducted when the first 15 participants reach 6 months after completion of IMP 
Further interim analyses will be specified in the statistical analysis plan (SAP).  
 
Once all patients have been recruited or have completed the treatment period, no further futility analyses will be 
performed.

a.
Screening: Screening assessments can occur on different days within nine days prior to treatment. If a subject fails screening, a full re-screen 
(all screening procedures must be repeated) may occur at a later date. 
b.
Follow-up Visits for Early Withdrawal Subjects: Once a Subject has been permanently withdrawn from the trial, they will be required to attend
an Early Withdrawal visit. If they receive/take less than 15 doses, additional visits are not required.  If they received 15 or more doses, Month 3,
Month 6 (if not already performed) and Month 24 follow-up visits are required. The Month 6 follow-up will be a full study visit as outline in
section 4.4.3.4.  Month 6(if already performed) and Month 24 visit will collect any AEs (Adverse Events), Serious Adverse Event (SAE),
Concontimant medication information, including verification of survival and patient reported TB outcome information only and may be
telephonic, a home or a site visit.
c.
Day 1 (baseline): All procedures are to be completed prior to dosing.
d.
HIV testing: If HIV status is a confirmed known positive, repeated HIV test is not needed provided documentation is available. If HIV status is
unknown or suspected negative, HIV test should be requested. If an ELISA and/or Western Blot based HIV test was performed within 1 month
prior to trial start, it should not be repeated as long as documentation of testing method and negative results can be provided.
e.
CD4 count:  For all HIV-positive Subjects.
f.
Chest X-Ray: Chest X-Ray at Screening or within 1 year prior to Screening. The Investigator is responsible for its review and analysis for subject
inclusion.
g.
Serum or Urine Pregnancy: Women of child-bearing potential only, whether they are sexually active or not.
h.
Final Treatment Visit: Serum or Urine Pregnancy Test, TB Symptoms Profile, Full Physical Examination, 12-lead ECG, Patient Reported Health
Status and Slit Lamp Examination are only performed at the subjects’ applicable End of Treatment Visit dependent on their treatment duration
(week 26, week 39 or when final IMP completed for scenarios where interruptions extend treatment, as applicable). If Week 26 is not the Final
Treatment Visit, only a limited physical exam should be done.
i.
Slit-Lamp Exam: Slit Lamp examination will be performed by an Ophthalmologist with AREDS2 training. See section 4.4.2.12 and 4.4.3 for 
details on what follow-up slit lamp exams are necessary for subjects who withdrawal early.
j.
Ophthalmic Exam: to include Ophthalmologic Medical history at Screening; All exams to include Visual Acuity and Color Vision assessment.   Can 
be done by any trained study staff throughout study.  Screening exam must be done by Ophthalmologist in addition to trained study staff that
will perform exams throughout the study. 
k.
Physical Exam: Full Physical Exams to include gross neurological exam.   All other PEs should be limited to weight and a pulmonary,
cardiovascular and abdominal exam.
l.
Safety Laboratory Assessments (refer to section 6.3 for details of laboratory safety assessments)
m.
Study Medication/Compliance: Study medication administration will be supervised per local site practice to assure compliance to regimen. 
n.
PK Sampling:  Pharmacokinetics will consist of two separate schedules:
1.
All Subjects - Pre-dose Ctrough sampling at weeks 2, 8 and 16, must be taken within 1 hour before the next scheduled dose. 
2.
PK Sub-study Subjects - in addition to the Ctrough samples, there will be intensive PK sampling at week 16 at pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8 12,
12.5, 13, 14, 16, 20 and 24 hours after dosing in a sub-group of evaluable 20 Subjects across selected sites. To be collected at the specified 
time points within the allowed applicable window periods: Pre‐dose: 0‐5 minutes before dose; 0.5- 1 hours post‐dose: +/- 5 minutes; 2-8
hours post dose: +/- 5 minutes; 12 hours post‐dose: +/- 5 minutes and prior to next dose for BID treatment arm, 12.5 – 13 hours +/- 5
minutes and 14- 24 hours +/- 10 minutes and prior to next dose.  All PK sub-study participants must have received IMP at stable doses for 
at least two weeks prior to the sub-study sampling.  If participant is in the midst of an IMP interruption at week 16, the PK draw should
be post-poned until the regimen is resumed for 2 weeks. 
o.
Sputum Sampling:
1.
Screening (Day -9 to -1): A single spot sputum will be collected at the research site under the coaching and observation of the trial staff.
The following analysis will be performed on this sample:
•
Smear microscopy for acid-fast bacilli (AFB);
•
Culture for presence or absence of M.tb.;
•

2. INTRODUCTION
2.1. Background 
Although some progress has been made in recent years in controlling TB globally, TB has remained a persistent 
problem in many countries.  TB is currently one of the top three fatal infectious diseases, it is the leading cause of 
death among HIV-infected individuals, and there is more TB in the world today than at any other time in history. 
The current first-line anti-tuberculosis agents have been in use for over 20 years and although the current 
regimens and drugs have been very successful in controlled clinical trials resulting in the permanent cure of more 
than 95% of trial Subjects, treatment takes 6 months to complete.  This, plus side effects, result in poor compliance 
which is particularly likely to occur after the second month of treatment. As a result of poor treatment compliance, 
drug resistance is becoming more common and fears of an epidemic with virtually untreatable strains of TB – 
extensively drug resistant TB (XDR-TB) - are growing.  Novel drugs for tuberculosis are needed for the growing 
numbers of patients with untreatable strains.  
WHO is tracking the increase of drug resistant strains. They estimate that there are about 650,000 MDR-TB cases 
in the world at any one time. On average, an estimated 9.6% of MDR-TB cases have XDR-TB, defined as resistance 
to at least isoniazid and rifampicin, as well as to any fluoroquinolone, and to any of the three second-line 
injectables (amikacin, capreomycin, and kanamycin)(20).   XDR-TB has been reported by 92 countries. Among a 
subset of 795 XDR-TB patients in 26 countries, treatment success was 20% overall and 44% of patients died; South 
Africa reports the most XDR-TB cases(22).   In 2006 a report from rural South Africa noted that 52 patients died of 
53 patients identified with XDR-TB and HIV co-infection; the mean survival was 16 days from the time of 
diagnosis(21). A recent report from South Africa documented the very grave long term prognosis of patients with 
XDR-TB(23).  Between 2008 and 2012 107 patients with XDR-TB from 3 provinces in South Africa were followed for 
long term outcomes.  At 60 months of follow up 12 patients (11%) had a favourable outcome, 78 (73%) had died, 
four (4%) had defaulted, and 11 (10%) had failed treatment.  With such dire outcomes for patients with XDR-TB, 
novel drug combinations are needed to improve treatment outcomes.  Recently, linezolid was identified as a 
potentially efficacious drug to use with patients with XDR-TB when added to a failing regimen(24). 
Following the declaration of TB as a global emergency by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 1993, there has 
been a resurgence of efforts to develop improved TB therapies and several promising new agents are presently in 
or approaching clinical evaluation. On December 28, 2012 the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved 
bedaquiline (SirturoTM) as part of combination therapy to treat adults with multi drug-resistant pulmonary 
tuberculosis (MDR-TB) when other alternatives are not available. On December 20, 2013 the CHMP recommended 
approval of bedaquiline by the EMA as part of an appropriate combination regimen for pulmonary multi-drug 
resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) when other treatments are not available.   In November of 2013, the CHMP 
recommended that delamanid be approved by the EMA for treatment of pulmonary MDR-TB in combination with 
the WHO optimized background regimen. Although both of these regulatory actions are positive steps, more work 
needs to be done to develop new regimens for both drug-sensitive (DS-TB) and drug resistant TB (MDR-TB/XDR-
TB).  New combination regimens are desperately needed for two reasons; to shorten treatment to a duration 
more easily manageable by patients and public health services for DS-TB and to provide more efficacious, safer, 
better tolerated and affordable treatment for the growing number of patients suffering from MDR-TB and XDR-
TB. 
The Nix-TB study offers a new opportunity to treat patients with XDR-TB with three drugs for which there is no 
expected pre-existing resistance.  Bedaquiline, pretomanid and linezolid are active against many drug resistant 
strains of M.tb. and substantial preclinical and clinical data are available to demonstrate their potential for 
individual and combined microbicidal and sterilizing activity in TB disease.  To further development of novel

regimens, TB Alliance is currently conducting a series of Phase 2 studies to evaluate building blocks of this regimen. 
A recently completed 14 day Early Bactericidal Activity (EBA) study in South Africa (Study NC-003) demonstrated 
bactericidal activity of the bedaquiline-pretomanid-pyrazinamide regimen.  This regimen is now being taken into 
an “SSCC” 8 week trial designed to investigate the combination of bedaquiline, pretomanid and pyrazinamide (B-
Pa-Z) in DS-TB and bedaquiline, moxifloxacin, pretomanid and pyrazinamide in MDR-TB.   
The current study (Nix-TB) is an open label trial designed to investigate the combination of bedaquiline, linezolid, 
and pretomanid in XDR-TB. Since patients with XDR-TB are failing nearly all drugs, there is no useful standard of 
care (SOC) to use for comparison.  Because the long term outcome of patients in South Africa treated with 
available SOC is up to 75% mortality(23), this open label study offers the opportunity to identify a substantially 
better outcome without the need for a comparison group.  This study will provide patients with an oral regimen 
that contains three novel drugs with the potential for a shorter treatment, better outcomes and with fewer side 
effects than the drugs currently being used. 
The information presented below first details the key preclinical information and human efficacy and safety 
information for each of the drugs in the regimen and then present preclinical and clinical data to support the 
combination of these drugs in a regimen to treat patients with XDR-TB. 
2.2. Agents to be Studied 
2.2.1. Bedaquiline 
Bedaquiline (formerly known as TMC-207; SirturoTM package insert(3)) is a new agent being developed for TB 
treatment. As detailed in the Investigator’s Brochure(4,5) bedaquiline is a diarylquinoline that offers a novel 
mechanism of anti-tuberculosis action by specifically inhibiting mycobacterial adenosine triphosphate (ATP) 
synthase(6). In vitro, bedaquiline potently inhibits both drug-sensitive and drug-resistant M. Tb isolates(7,8), and is 
also bactericidal against non-replicating M. tb.(9) In the murine model of TB, bedaquiline was as active as the triple 
combination of isoniazid (H), rifampicin (R), and pyrazinamide (Z). Addition of bedaquiline to HRZ results in 
accelerated clearance of M. tb.(1, 2). There appears to be a synergistic interaction with pyrazinamide: 100% of mice 
were culture negative after 8 weeks of treatment with bedaquiline and pyrazinamide compared to 0% of mice 
treated with the standard regimen of rifampicin, isoniazid and pyrazinamide(10). Collectively, these findings in the 
mouse model have led to the suggestion that regimens containing bedaquiline and pyrazinamide could be 
effective in the treatment of both drug sensitive and drug resistant TB and shorten treatment duration in patients. 
While the combination of bedaquiline and pretomanid in the murine model of TB appeared somewhat 
antagonistic relative to bedaquiline alone, it was as active as the triple combination of HRZ(10) and in a subsequent 
study it was more active in the mouse model than HRZ(11). Thus a novel regimen with a bedaquiline plus 
pretomanid core could be effective in the treatment of MDR-TB/XDR-TB by providing two novel drugs for which 
there is no known pre-existing resistance.  
To date, bedaquiline has been studied as monotherapy in two dose-ranging EBA trials (C202 and TMC207-
CL001)(12,13), in two combination EBA trials (NC-001(14) and NC-003) and in 2 Phase 2b studies (C208 and C209).  In 
the monotherapy studies, bedaquiline was dosed over a range of 100-400 mg/day. Subjects with TB had 
approximately a 1 log decrease in logCFU over 14 days at all doses studied.  The first 14 day EBA combination 
study (NC-001) demonstrated that bedaquiline in combination with pyrazinamide (B-Z) and bedaquiline in 
combination with pretomanid (B-Pa) had positive EBA activity. The second 14 day EBA combination study (NC-
003), currently undergoing analysis, included a number of bedaquiline-containing arms: bedaquiline, 
pyrazinamide and clofazimine (B-Z-C), bedaquiline, pretomanid and clofazimine (B-Pa-C); bedaquiline, pretomanid 
and pyrazinamide (B-Pa-Z) and bedaquiline, pretomanid, pyrazinamide and clofazimine (B-Pa-Z-C).  Among these, 
B-Pa-Z had the best activity which was at least as good as the HRZE control.

The 2 completed Phase 2b studies form the pivotal studies reviewed by the FDA for accelerated approval of 
bedaquiline (Sirturo TM). Together, these clinical studies provide justification for proceeding to the current study 
and are described briefly below and in greater detail in the IB. 
2.2.1.1. Bedaquiline Preclinical Studies 
Full details of the preclinical studies are provided in the current bedaquiline Investigator’s Brochure(4, 5) and 
Sirturo TM label(3). In vitro studies have demonstrated that the range of minimum inhibitory concentrations 
(MICs) for M. tb. H37Rv, the international reference strain, and 6 fully drug-susceptible clinical isolates, was 
0.030 to 0.120 μg/ml. The activity of bedaquiline appears to be specific for mycobacteria, as the MICs for non-
mycobacteria were at least 500-fold higher. The activity of the main metabolite of bedaquiline, M2, was 
determined against M. tb. H37Rv in both solid and liquid media and its MIC was found to be 0.1 μg/ml. This MIC 
shows that M2 is active against M. tb. but 3-6 times less active than the parent compound bedaquiline. 
Bedaquiline demonstrated similar in vitro efficacy against M. tb. clinical isolates resistant to the known anti-TB 
drugs (isoniazid, rifampicin, pyrazinamide, streptomycin, ethambutol, or fluoroquinolones). As expected, from 
the lack of cross-resistance with currently used anti-tuberculosis agents, bedaquiline retained activity against 
MDR-TB isolates.  
The non-clinical safety evaluation of bedaquiline includes pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, toxicology and 
metabolism studies that were conducted in accordance with current ICH guidelines. Repeated dose toxicity 
studies were performed with dosing durations up to 3 months in mice and up to 6 months in rats and in dogs. 
Recovery was studied in rats and dogs. In repeated dose toxicity studies up to 3 months in mice, up to 6 months 
in the rat and up to 9 months in dogs, bedaquiline was associated with target organ changes in the mononuclear 
phagocytic system (indicative of phospholipidosis), stomach, liver, pancreas, and muscle. Toxicity was often 
associated with an increased presence of neutrophils in some tissues such as the female genital tract and this 
was preceded by a peripheral neutrophilia. For more detailed information please refer to the bedaquiline IB(4,5). 
Respiratory parameters in rats were unaffected by treatment. There were no effects suggestive of neurological 
impairment or delayed neurotoxicity in rats. In single dose toxicity studies there were no mortalities following 
oral doses of up to 200 mg/kg in mice and rats. No mutagenicity or clastogenic effects were seen in a series of in 
vitro and in vivo genotoxicity tests. Bedaquiline was evaluated for possible developmental toxicity effects in the 
rat and the rabbit. No teratogenic effects were found. In vitro, bedaquiline slightly to moderately inhibited the 
delayed rectifier potassium current (IKr) in the human ether-à-go-go-related gene (hERG) model. Bedaquiline 
and M2 had no notable effects on IKr at 0.01 μM (0.006 and 0.005 μg/mL, respectively). However, at higher 
concentrations (0.03 to 3 μM), both compounds had a slight to strong concentration-dependent effect with a 
50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 0.37 μM (0.2 μg/mL) for bedaquiline and up to 0.45 μM (0.24 μg/mL) for 
M2. However, this effect did not manifest as a prolongation of repolarization in subsequent in vivo studies. 
There were no relevant effects on the isolated right atrium of guinea pigs in vitro, or in the isolated Langendorff-
perfused rabbit heart. In vivo, positive chronotropic effects were seen in the anesthetized guinea pig after IV 
administration, but not in the conscious dog. In conscious, telemetered dogs, oral bedaquiline had no relevant 
effects on cardio-hemodynamic andelectrocardiogram (ECG) parameters.  
Prior to the use of pretomanid in combination with bedaquiline in clinical study NC-001, a preclinical 
cardiovascular safety pharmacology study was conducted in unrestrained beagle dogs with both drugs to 
explore the potential for additive effects on QT prolongation induced by the combination. Results indicate that 
administration of 100 mg/kg bedaquiline daily, for 7 days, causes a small increase in QTc interval by Day 6 in 
some animals that is not influenced by the addition of 100 mg/kg pretomanid on Day 7 (15).The effect of 
pretomanid dosing alone on QT interval appeared to be due to discomfort related to the SC route of 
administration and not related to the plasma exposure (please see the pretomanid (formerly PA-824) 
Investigators Brochure for more detail).

2.2.1.2. Bedaquiline Clinical Studies 
In the clinical studies conducted to date, a total of approximately 645 Subjects (including 265 healthy 
volunteers) have been exposed to bedaquiline in the Phase 1 and 2 clinical trials conducted as a part of the 
development program for the treatment of MDR-TB. An additional 45 Subjects received bedaquiline, either as 
monotherapy (B) or in combination with other agents (B-Pa or B-Z) in study NC-001, and 45 more in study NC- 
003 (B-Pa-Z, B-Pa-C, B-Pa-Z-C). Four short-term Phase 2a trials enrolled treatment-naïve Subjects (C202, 
TMC207-CL001, NC-001 and NC-003). One long-term, open-label, Phase 2 trial, in MDR-TB Subjects (bedaquiline-
TiDP13-C209) and one long-term, Phase 2b trial, consisting of 2 different stages in Subjects infected with newly 
diagnosed sputum smear-positive pulmonary MDR-TB (bedaquiline-TiDP13-C208), have been completed. The 
principal findings of these trials are summarized below. Full details of the completed clinical studies are 
provided in the current bedaquiline IB (4,5) and Sirturo TM label(3).  
The Phase 1 trials have provided a basic understanding of bedaquiline’s pharmacokinetic characteristics, drug-
drug interaction potential, and short-term safety/tolerability profile in healthy Subjects. Bedaquiline was well 
absorbed with time to reach the maximum plasma concentration at approximately 5 hours post-dose. The 
maximum plasma concentration and AUC increased proportionally up to the highest doses studied (up to 700 
mg in a single dose-ranging study, 800 mg single dose in study bedaquiline-TBC1003 and 400 mg q.d. multiple 
doses). Accumulation from Days 1 to 14 was approximately 2-fold expressed as increase in AUC, while trough 
concentrations increased up to 3.5-fold. The pharmacokinetics of bedaquiline were comparable between 
healthy Subjects and Subjects with pulmonary TB. The apparently close to steady-state concentrations in plasma 
after 14 days of daily treatment is ascribed to the important amount of the drug that is eliminated from the 
circulation during the ἀ and β phases of the plasma concentration-time curve. The average terminal elimination 
half-life of bedaquiline and metabolite M2 noted on extended follow-up after repeat dosing of Subjects with TB 
infection is about 5.5 months.  
Administration of bedaquiline as the tablet formulation with food, increased the relative bioavailability (by 95%) 
compared to administration without food, and drug-drug interaction trials confirmed the role of cytochrome 
P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) in the metabolism of bedaquiline to M2. A recently completed study (DMID 10-0043) 
demonstrated that when given in combination, rifampicin, and to a lesser degree rifabutin, decreased exposure 
to bedaquiline presumptively due to induction of P450 enzymes. The clinical significance of these findings is 
unknown, however the current study (NC-005) will not permit the concomitant use of bedaquiline with any 
rifamycin. 
The efficacy of bedaquiline was initially demonstrated in two monotherapy EBA studies C202 and TMC207-
CL001. Study C202 was a 7 day study of three daily doses of bedaquiline (25, 100 and 400mg) in treatment-naïve 
Subjects with MDR-TB. In this study, the 400mg dose group demonstrated positive EBA and was numerically 
superior to the 25 and 100mg doses. In study TMC207-CL001, doses of 100, 200, 300 and 400mg daily (following 
a 2-day loading dose) were studied in Subjects with newly-diagnosed pulmonary TB for 14 days. There were no 
statistically significant differences between the treatment groups, although there was a numerical trend 
suggesting a positive dose-response relationship. Taken together, these studies establish that bedaquiline 
monotherapy has EBA in Subjects with TB and that higher doses appear to have greater efficacy. 
A 14 day EBA regimen study (TB Alliance Study NC-001-(B-M-Pa-Z)) evaluated bedaquiline administered as 
monotherapy at 400 mg/d or in combination at that dose with either pretomanid administered at 200 mg/d or 
weight-adjusted pyrazinamide, to Subjects with pulmonary TB at 2 clinical sites in South Africa. The results 
indicate that over 14 days, the mean logCFU decreased by 1.3 from baseline in the 15 Subjects given bedaquiline 
400 mg/d after a 2 day loading dose. In the cohort of 15 Subjects given bedaquiline 400 mg/d after a loading 
dose plus weight-adjusted daily doses of pyrazinamide (Z), the mean logCFU decreased by 2.0 logs from

baseline, indicating that Z potentiates the early bactericidal effect of bedaquiline. In the cohort with 15 Subjects 
given bedaquiline 400 mg/d after a loading dose plus 200 mg/d pretomanid, the mean logCFU decreased by 1.9. 
While it appeared that the addition of pretomanid potentiated the anti-tuberculosis activity of bedaquiline, the 
mean logCFU decrease of the combination was similar to that of two previous EBA studies using pretomanid 
monotherapy at 200 mg/day. 
The second 14 day EBA combination study (NC-003) included a number of bedaquiline-containing arms: 
bedaquiline, pyrazinamide and clofazimine (B-Z-C), bedaquiline, pretomanid and clofazimine (B-Pa-C), 
bedaquiline, pretomanid, and pyrazinamide (B-Pa-Z) and bedaquiline, pretomanid, pyrazinamide and 
clofazimine (B-Pa-Z-C). Among these, B-Pa-Z had the best activity which was at least as good as the HRZE control 
(Daily Log CFU – 0.167 vs 0.151, respectively).  
The long-term efficacy of bedaquiline in Subjects with MDR-TB has been studied in a placebo-controlled, 
randomized Phase 2b trial (C208) and an open-label, uncontrolled, Phase 2b trial (C209). In the Phase 2b 
placebo-controlled trial, C208, the addition of bedaquiline to a 5-drug MDR-TB regimen resulted in significantly 
faster time to culture conversion compared to placebo. During the 8-week treatment in Stage 1, 47.6% of 
Subjects in the bedaquiline group became MGIT culture negative compared to 8.7% of Subjects in the placebo 
group. At Week 24 in Stage 1, after 8 weeks of investigational treatment and 24 weeks of background 
treatment, 81.0% of Subjects in the bedaquiline group and 65.2% of Subjects in the placebo group showed 
treatment success, (i.e., completed week 24 and were liquid culture negative at this time point). 
For C208 Stage 2, in the interim analysis as well as in the primary efficacy analysis, a statistically significant 
difference in time to culture conversion between the treatment groups (p < 0.0001) in favour of bedaquiline was 
shown. In both analyses, an identical number of Subjects with culture conversion at week 24 (i.e., 24-week 
responders [missing = failure]) was observed: 78.8% in the bedaquiline group and 57.6% in the placebo group, 
which was statistically significantly different (p = 0.008) based on a logistic regression model with only treatment 
as covariate. Microbiological response at Week 24 was durable in C208 Stage 2: the percentage of responders 
(missing = failure) at week 72 was 71.2% in the bedaquiline group and 56.1% in the placebo group.  
In the Phase 2b uncontrolled trial, C209, treatment with bedaquiline in combination with an individualized MDR-
TB treatment regimen was effective against pulmonary MDR-TB both in newly diagnosed and in non-newly 
diagnosed Subjects. Culture conversion rates after 24 weeks of treatment with bedaquiline as part of an 
individualized anti-tuberculosis regimen were higher in Subjects with lower extent of resistance of the M. Tb 
strain and in Subjects with no lung cavitation compared to Subjects with cavitations (in one or both lungs). 
2.2.1.3. Bedaquiline Clinical Safety 
In the clinical studies conducted to date, a total of approximately 645 Subjects (including 265 healthy 
volunteers) have been exposed to bedaquiline in the Phase 1 and 2 clinical trials conducted as a part of the 
development program for the treatment of MDR-TB. An additional 60 Subjects received bedaquiline in a 
monotherapy EBA study of 14 days (study TMC207-CL001) 45 Subjects received bedaquiline, either as 
monotherapy (B) or in combination with other agents (B-Pa or B-Z) in study NC-001 and 45 more in study NC-
003 (B-Pa-Z, B-Pa-C, B-Pa-Z-C). In these studies, bedaquiline has been shown to be an effective treatment for 
Subjects with both DS and MDR-TB. Specifically, the regimen B-Pa-Z was demonstrated to have efficacy at least 
as good as the HRZE control in study NC-003. Furthermore, bedaquiline is a novel agent with no pre-existing 
resistance and, based on mouse model data, may result in shortened treatment durations when included in 
novel regimens to treat both DS- and MDR-TB. Based on the combined experience in these clinical studies, the 
following known and potential risks have been identified.

Overall, there was an imbalance in the number of deaths in the pooled Stage 1 and Stage 2 C208 trial. In the 
pooled analysis (Stage 1 and Stage 2), 12 Subjects in the Any bedaquiline group and 5 Subjects in the Any Placebo 
group experienced a SAE leading to death; causes of death were varied with only death due to TB reported more 
than once, and none of these Subjects had a treatment-emergent QTcF ~ 500 ms. The imbalance in deaths is 
primarily driven by the C208 Stage 2 results in which the imbalance was 10 bedaquiline Subjects (12.7%) compared 
to 3 placebo Subjects (3.7%). Based on the pooled results (Stage 1 and 2) while being followed in the placebo-
controlled trial, 7 Subjects in the Any bedaquiline group and 1 Subject in the Any Placebo group died. Of these 
deaths, 1 occurred during the lnvestigational Treatment phase with bedaquiline/placebo, the remaining deaths 
occurred afterwards. In the Any bedaquiline group, causes of death were myocardial infarction, TB (2 cases), 
alcohol poisoning, hepatitis and hepatic cirrhosis (1 case), septic shock and peritonitis (1 case), and 
cerebrovascular accident. In the Any Placebo group, cause of death was hemoptysis. The Investigator considered 
the SAEs leading to death not related to bedaquiline intake in the Any bedaquiline group and doubtfully related 
to investigational medication in the Any Placebo group. The analysis of long-term follow-up for survival outcomes 
in Subjects who prematurely discontinued in trial C208 (Stage 1 and 2), based on data collection every 24 weeks 
(6 months) after withdrawal (up to LSLV in the rollover arm [16 Oct 2012] in Stage 2), included 9 deaths. One 
Subject in the bedaquiline group (pulmonary TB) and 2 Subjects in the Placebo group (TB-related illness and 
pulmonary TB) in Stage 1 died, and 4 Subjects in the bedaquiline group (3 Subjects with TB-related illness, 1 Subject 
motor vehicle accident) and 2 Subjects in the Placebo group (both TB-related illness) died after they discontinued 
Stage 2 of the trial. None of these Subjects had a treatment-emergent QTcF ~ 500 ms. The imbalance in deaths is 
unexplained. In addition, no discernible pattern between death and sputum culture conversion, relapse,

sensitivity to other drugs used to treat TB, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) status, or severity of disease was 
observed. 
In the uncontrolled Phase 2b trial, C209, the most frequently reported AEs during the investigational phase were 
hyperuricemia, arthralgia, nausea, vomiting, headache, diarrhea, blood uric acid increased, hypokalemia, pruritus, 
injection site pain, insomnia, and tinnitus. From start of the trial up to the final analysis, 12 Subjects died during 
the C209 trial due to SAEs that included TB (5 cases), congestive cardiac failure, renal impairment, lung infection, 
cardiac arrest (underlying cause pneumonia), hemoptysis, hypertension, and pyopneumothorax/respiratory 
failure. All of these SAEs leading to death were considered not related to bedaquiline by the Investigator, except 
for renal impairment that was judged doubtfully related to bedaquiline. 
The analysis of long-term follow-up for survival outcomes for Subjects who prematurely discontinued in trial C209, 
based on data collection every 24 weeks (6 months) after withdrawal, included 4 deaths (all described as TB-
related). In total, since the start of the C209 trial, 16 Subjects (6.9%) have died (12 Subjects during the trial and 4 
Subjects during the survival follow-up phase after premature discontinuation). None of the fatal SAEs were 
considered related to bedaquiline by the Investigator and none of these Subjects has a treatment-emergent 
adverse event. 
Cardiovascular safety 
During clinical trials with bedaquiline a prolongation of QTc interval was observed.  The US Product Label for 
bedaquiline(3) notes that treatment initiation is not recommended in patients with: 
•
Heart failure;
•
QTcF interval > 450 ms (confirmed by repeat electrocardiogram);
•
A personal or family history of congenital QT prolongation;
•
Concomitant administration of fluoroquinolone antibiotics that have a greater potential for significant QT
prolongation (i.e., gatifloxacin, moxifloxacin and sparfloxacin).
•
Hypokalemia
The US Product Label recommends that bedaquiline treatment must be discontinued if the patient develops 
clinically significant ventricular arrhythmia. An additive or synergistic effect on QT prolongation of bedaquiline 
when co-administered with other medicinal products that prolong the QT interval cannot be excluded. Caution is 
recommended when using bedaquiline concomitantly with medicinal products with a known risk of QT 
prolongation. In the event that co-administration of such medicinal products with bedaquiline is necessary, clinical 
monitoring including frequent ECG assessment is recommended. 
Hepatic safety 
The US product label notes increases in transaminases were seen in clinical trials during administration of 
bedaquiline with the background regimen. Subjects should be monitored during treatment.  Other hepatotoxic 
medicinal products and alcohol should be avoided while taking bedaquiline, especially in those Subjects with 
diminished hepatic reserve(3).  
Additional safety information from a recently completed trial 
In a recently completed phase I study not yet included in the bedaquiline Investigators Brochure that evaluated 
drug-drug interactions between bedaquiline and either rifampin or rifabutin, 7 Subjects experienced SAEs.  Of 
those Subjects, 5 experienced SAEs of lymphocytopenia (all received rifabutin), which did not appear to be related 
to the AUC or Cmax of TMC207 or rifabutin. One subject experienced an SAE of elevated Creatine Kinase (rifampicin 
arm) and one experienced a grade 4 Total Bilirubin SAE (rifampicin arm). Lymphopenia was previously noted to 
be an infrequent toxicity associated with rifabutin, but not previously seen with bedaquiline. The

bedaquiline/rifabutin regimen demonstrated significant reversible lymphopenia, which did not appear to be 
related to the AUC or Cmax of TMC-207 or rifabutin. 
2.2.2. Pretomanid 
As detailed in the Investigator’s Brochure(15), pretomanid is a new chemical entity and a member of a class of 
compounds known as nitroimidazo-oxazines, which possess significant anti-tuberculosis activity and a unique 
mechanism of action(16). Pretomanid demonstrated in vitro activity against both DS- and MDR-TB(17), and in vivo 
activity in a mouse model of tuberculosis(16,17).  
Pretomanid has been studied in four 14-day EBA trials to date, including two monotherapy dose-ranging studies 
and two combination EBA studies.  Pretomanid monotherapy has demonstrated substantial mycobactericidal 
activity. The efficacy data from study PA-824-CL-007 indicated that all doses of pretomanid (200, 600, 1000 and 
1200 mg) produced an equivalent decrease in sputum CFU counts over the 14-day treatment period.  In study PA-
824-CL-010, an EBA study with a similar design to study PA-824-CL-007 except for the use of lower doses of 
pretomanid (50, 100, 150 and 200 mg/day), results indicated that pretomanid treatment resulted in a measurable 
dose-dependent mycobactericidal activity over the dose range studied, and supported a clinical dose of 200mg 
per day.  In study NC-001-(B-M-Pa-Z) an EBA study with multiple treatment combinations, the three drug 
combination of pretomanid (200 mg per day), moxifloxacin and pyrazinamide (Pa-M-Z) demonstrated potential as 
a treatment shortening regimen and was progressed into an 8 week “SSCC” study (NC-002) in which the 
combination was shown to be statistically better that the HRZE control on some measures of activity.  In the 
second 14-day combination EBA study (NC-003), the bedaquiline, pretomanid and pyrazinamide (B-Pa-Z) regimen 
showed promising activity and has been selected to move forward in development and is the focus of an 8-week 
study in patients with DS and MDR-TB (NC-005) that will be initiated in 2014. 
2.2.2.1. Pretomanid Preclinical Studies 
Microbiology 
In vitro studies have demonstrated that the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of pretomanid against a 
variety of drug-sensitive M. tb. isolates is similar to the MIC of isoniazid (MIC of pretomanid, ≤0.015 to 0.25 µg/mL; 
MIC of isoniazid, 0.03 to 0.06 µg/mL).  Pretomanid was efficacious in vitro against drug-resistant clinical isolates 
of M. tb., with MIC values ranging from 0.03 to 0.53 µg/mL.  The minimum effective dose (MED) of pretomanid 
was 12.5 mg/kg/day in a mouse model of TB.  The MED is defined as the lowest dose able to prevent the 
development of macroscopic lung lesions and splenomegaly.  The minimum bactericidal dose (MBD) was 100 
mg/kg/day in the same mouse model.  The MBD is defined as the lowest dose able to reduce the lung TB colony 
forming unit (CFU) counts by 99%.  The magnitude of CFU reduction by pretomanid at this dose is similar to that 
seen with the highest dose of isoniazid tested in the same study (25 mg/kg/day). 
Nonclinical Safety Studies 
The non-clinical safety evaluation of pretomanid includes pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, toxicology and 
metabolism studies that were conducted in accordance with current ICH guidelines. 
Pretomanid was negative in all genotoxicology studies performed.  One of its metabolites (M50) that is found in 
rat, monkey, and human plasma was positive in a screening Ames assay. M50 is not a major metabolite in humans 
and the exposure relative to parent drug is higher in the rat (24%) and monkey (18%) than in humans (6%).  
Pretomanid-induced effects in respiratory, CNS, and cardiovascular safety pharmacology studies were generally 
mild and reversible; effects were most prominent at 450 mg/kg/day.  Pretomanid is a weak inhibitor (IC50=20μM) 
of the hERG channel.  In a telemetry monkey study, in the dose range 50-450 mg/kg, there was no or minor

prolongation of the QT interval, depending on the method of correction.  The weight of evidence suggests that 
there should be no effect on QT in the dose range being explored in the clinical studies. 
Repeat-dose toxicology studies with pretomanid have been conducted in male and female rats (14 days to 6 
months), and in male and female monkeys (7 days to 3 months).  In all studies, dose-dependent reduced food 
consumption and reduced weight gain or weight loss were noted.  In addition, testicular atrophy was observed in 
rats while cataracts were observed by indirect ophthalmoscopy in both rats and monkeys. In general, toxicity in 
both rat and monkey was significantly greater when exposures exceeded approximately 300 μg•hr/mL in the 14-
day studies and approximately 200 μg•hr/mL in the 3-month studies.  
Reproductive toxicology studies show that pretomanid is not teratogenic in rats or rabbits.  In the rat fertility 
study, dose-dependent reduced fertility rates, due to decreased sperm numbers and decreased motility, were 
observed at doses of 30 mg/kg and greater.  This effect was partially reversible.  As in the 3-month rat toxicology 
study, irreversible testicular lesions were not observed at 30 mg/kg, only at 100 and 300 mg/kg. 
To more fully characterize the cataract and male reproductive system findings, a 3-month monkey study in 
sexually mature males (0, 50, 150, 300 mg/kg/day), and a 6-month rat study (0, 30, 100, 300 mg/kg) in males and 
females were conducted.  Ocular assessments were conducted in a much more careful and systematic manner 
than in the initial 3-month toxicology studies described above. In each of the later studies, all ophthalmologic 
examinations were conducted by a single ophthalmologist, using both indirect ophthalmoscopy and slit-lamp 
biomicroscopy.  Animals were screened before dosing to ensure no animal had cataracts at baseline, and then 
monthly during dosing and recovery. In this monkey study, although similar drug exposures were attained as in 
the original 3 month monkey study, no cataracts or testes effects (semenology, organ weights, histopathology, or 
hormones [testosterone, follicle-stimulating hormone, Inhibin B]) were observed at any point during dosing or 
during a 20-week recovery period.  Pretomanid does not appear to cause cataracts or testicular toxicity in 
monkeys. In the 6-month rat study, pretomanid caused irreversible cataracts at 100 mg/kg from Day 118 of the 
study in males and females. In contrast to the original 3-month rat report, rats in this more carefully conducted 
study developed cataracts while on drug but not during recovery. The NOAEL was 30 mg/kg for cataracts and 10 
mg/kg for testicular toxicity.  Rats that developed cataract and testicular toxicity also experienced marked 
decreases in body weight gain and food consumption. The AUC safety multiples (relative to the exposures 
obtained at the anticipated clinical dose of 200 mg/day) for cataract are ~1.5x in the rat; in the monkey at the 
highest dose tolerated, where there were no cataracts in the second well conducted study, the multiple is at least 
3.7x.  
To summarize, cataracts have been detected in multiple animals from two similar rat studies at mid-to-high doses. 
In contrast, the finding of cataracts in one monkey study could not be confirmed in a follow-up study.  Thus, both 
cataracts and the testicular effects appear to be species-limited. 
An overall summary of the findings from animal safety and toxicology studies is contained in Table 2.

Table 2: Pretomanid Key Animal Safety and Toxicology Findings 
•
Nervous system-related effects.
Rats given single oral pretomanid doses had decreased body tone, touch responses and decreased grooming behavior 
at ≥150 mg/kg, which resolved within 24 hours.  Rats given repeated daily doses of pretomanid had convulsions, 
ataxia, hypoactivity, recumbency, hyperactivity and sensitivity to touch, and squinting at ≥100 mg/kg/day, and early 
deaths occurred at doses ≥500 mg/kg/day.  Monkeys given repeated daily doses of pretomanid had hypoactivity, 
ataxia, tremors, and convulsions at ≥450/300 mg/kg/day.  These effects were reversible when dosing stopped and 
were absent at ≤30 mg/kg/day in rats and ≤150 mg/kg/day in monkeys. 
•
Testicular toxicity
Testicular degeneration/atrophy, occurred in rats with repeated doses of pretomanid at ≥30 mg/kg/day but did not 
occur in monkeys at any dose level.  Testicular effects showed evidence of being partially reversible, albeit very 
slowly, in rats dosed for 7 days, but not in rats dosed for 14 days.  As would be expected, there was a dose-related 
decrease in fertility in male rats at ≥30 mg/kg/day that was associated with decreased sperm numbers and motility. 
This effect on fertility in male rats was partially reversible. 
•
Cataracts
Cataracts developed with prolonged daily dosing in rats at pretomanid doses ≥100 mg/kg/day.  In one 13-week study 
in monkeys, cataracts did develop at 450/300 mg/kg/day, but only by the end of a 13-week recovery period.  In a 
second 13-week study in monkeys that included extensive ophthalmic examinations, cataracts did not develop at the 
high-dose level of 300 mg/kg/day. 
•
hERG inhibition and QT prolongation
Pretomanid inhibited hERG current with IC50 values of approximately 6.2 µg/mL. Following a single pretomanid dose 
of 450 mg/kg in monkeys, QTc interval prolongation ranged from 21 to 36 msec using Fridericia’s formula (QTcF) to 
correct for heart rate. Co-administration of pretomanid with moxifloxacin in the monkey or with bedaquiline in the 
dog did not result in any greater effect on the QT interval than with either agent alone. After repeated daily doses, 
the QTc interval in the monkey was prolonged at pretomanid doses of ≥150 mg/kg/day. 
2.2.2.2. Pretomanid Clinical Studies 
Phase 1 
The safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of pretomanid have been studied in 10 Phase 1 studies, which are 
summarized in Table 3. In these trials, pretomanid has been administered in doses ranging from 50 to 1500 mg, 
as 50 or 200 mg tablets or as an oral suspension.  PK parameters have largely been consistent in each study and 
can be summarized as follows:  
•
Pretomanid is moderately rapidly absorbed, with median Tmax values across Subjects and dose levels
ranging from 4 to 7 hours.
•
The mean half-life for elimination (t½) across Subjects and dose levels was approximately 16 - 25 hours.
•
Exposure increased approximately linearly but less than dose-proportionally, with increasing doses up to
approximately 600 – 1000 mg, while higher doses achieved minimal additional increases in either Cmax or
AUC.

Two studies using radiolabeled pretomanid in an oral-suspension formulation have been conducted to investigate 
the metabolism and excretion patterns of pretomanid in humans: Study PA-824-CL-004, which used [benzyl-14C] 
pretomanid and Study PA-824-CL-008, which used [imidazooxazine-14C] pretomanid. The mass balance results 
from the two studies were very similar.  In each study, the majority (53-65%) of radioactivity was excreted in the 
urine; an additional 26-38% was collected in the feces such that approximately 91% of the administered dose was 
ultimately recovered in the excreta.   
Radioprofiling and metabolite identification work have been completed on samples from the two human studies 
as well as from analogous work in rat and monkey using both radiolabeled pretomanid preparations.  The 
metabolism of pretomanid proceeds via a combination of reductive metabolism (~20 – 25% of the dose) and 
oxidative metabolism (remainder of the characterized metabolites). The metabolic profile of pretomanid in vivo 
was qualitatively similar in the three species, with quantitative differences being minor. No human unique 
metabolites were detected and there is no one single metabolic path that can be considered major. Furthermore, 
there are no major metabolites in human plasma.   
Study PA-824-CL-006, a drug-drug interaction study with midazolam to assess the extent of CYP3A inhibition by 
pretomanid, results indicate that dosing of pretomanid 400 mg once daily for 14 days did not have a major effect 
on the exposure of midazolam or its major metabolite 1-hydroxy midazolam.  For midazolam, the geometric mean 
ratio of Day 17 (midazolam+pretomanid) vs. Day 1 (midazolam alone) for Cmax was 0.84 and AUC was 0.85.  For 
the 1-hydroxy midazolam metabolite, the corresponding geometric mean ratio for Cmax was 1.05 and AUC was 
1.11.  The data suggests that pretomanid does not cause clinically significant drugs interactions with drugs 
metabolized by CYP3A.   
Two additional studies have recently been completed and are currently undergoing analysis: Study DMID 10-0058 
(a Thorough QT study comparing pretomanid and pretomanid plus moxifloxacin to moxifloxacin alone) and Study 
ACTG 5603 (a drug-drug interaction study evaluating the effects of concomitantly administered Efavirenz, 
Ritonavir-Boosted Lopinavir or rifampicin on the PK parameters of pretomanid). The first study found that single 
doses of pretomanid of 400mg and 1000mg did not have a clinically significant effect on the QTc interval, and 
when pretomanid at 400mg is co-administered with moxifloxacin (400mg) it did not increase the QTc prolongation 
substantially over what is seen with moxifloxacin alone. The second study found that when administered with 
Efavirenz, Ritonavir-Boosted Lopinavir, or Rifampicin, pretomanid (200mg) median pretomanid concentrations 
(AUC0-24h) were reduced 35% by EFV, 17% by LPV/r, and 66% by rifampin. The clinical significance of these findings 
requires further investigation. 
Study PA-824-CL-009, a food effects study pretomanid (200 mg and 50 mg); results indicate that the food effect 
observed is dependent on the pretomanid dose administered.  When a single dose of pretomanid was 
administered with a high fat, high calorie meal, Cmax and AUC of the 50 mg dose increased 1.40-fold and 1.45-fold 
respectively, whereas for the 200 mg dose, Cmax increased 1.76-fold and AUC increased 1.88-fold.

• 
Pretomanid, alone and in combination with

• 
Pretomanid doses of 400 mg and 1000 mg did not 
cause QT interval prolongation to a level of 
clinical concern as the upper limit of the 90% CI 
associated with any LS mean ΔΔQTcI value did not

The PK of pretomanid was not affected by the co-
administration of moxifloxacin.

Phase 2 
Study PA-824-CL-007, a 14 day monotherapy EBA study, indicated that all doses of pretomanid (200, 600, 1000 
and 1200mg a day) produced a measurable and equivalent decrease in sputum CFU counts over the 14-day 
treatment period. Study PA-824-CL-010 was an EBA study with a similar design to study PA-824-CL-007 except for 
the use of lower doses of pretomanid (50, 100, 150 or 200 mg/day).  Results indicate that pretomanid treatment 
resulted in a measurable dose-dependent mycobactericidal activity, with the 50 mg dose demonstrating less 
activity than the 100, 150 and 200 mg doses, which were all equivalent.  
Study NC-001-(B-M-Pa-Z) was a 14 day EBA study that assessed the two-week EBA of the following drug 
combinations: pretomanid plus pyrazinamide, pretomanid plus pyrazinamide plus moxifloxacin, along with two 
other non-pretomanid containing combinations. Results indicate that the three drug combination of pretomanid 
(200 mg per day), moxifloxacin and pyrazinamide has potential as a treatment shortening regimen.  In the study 
this three drug combination has an EBA 0-14, which is believed indicative of sterilizing activity, numerically better 
than the current 4-drug intensive phase treatment of HRZE.   
The recently completed Phase 2b study, NC-002, was a multi-center open‐label partially randomized clinical trial 
with four treatment groups. Subjects with drug‐sensitive TB were randomized to receive moxifloxacin 400 mg plus 
PA‐824 100 mg plus pyrazinamide 1500 mg (M-PA100-Z) or moxifloxacin 400 mg plus PA‐824 200 mg plus 
pyrazinamide 1500 mg (M-PA200-Z) or standard HRZE therapy. HRZE was included as a control arm for the drug-
sensitive treatments and for the laboratory methodology. Subjects with MDR‐TB received moxifloxacin 400 mg 
plus PA‐824 200 mg plus pyrazinamide 1500 mg (M-PA200-Z MDR). The study population included a total of up to 
230 male and female newly diagnosed Subjects with drug-sensitive or multi drug‐resistant, smear positive 
pulmonary tuberculosis aged 18 to 65 years (inclusive).  The primary efficacy endpoint was the rate of change in 
the logarithm of colony forming unit (CFU) (or log[CFU]) count) over 8 weeks of treatment analysed by a Joint 
Bayesian Non-linear Mixed Effect (NLME) regression.  
Preliminary analyses of NC-002 indicate that a total of 207 Subjects were enrolled, with 60 randomized to M-
PA100-Z, 62 randomized to M-PA200-Z, and 59 to HRZE.  An additional 26 Subjects were treated in the M PA200-
Z MDR-TB arm.  Of note, more Subjects in the MDR-TB arm did not complete the full 8 weeks of treatment, 
primarily because many were withdrawn as late-exclusions (M. Tb resistant to pyrazinamide determined in culture 
after enrollment in the study). Twenty-one MDR-TB Subjects were in the study with active treatment through day

14 and 10 were in the study through the full 8 weeks of treatment (9 with evaluable results for the primary 
microbiological endpoint).  In contrast, the following number of Subjects in the study with active treatment 
through 8 weeks in the 3 randomized arms with evaluable results for the primary microbiological endpoint:  55 in 
the M-PA100-Z arm, 54 in the M-PA200-Z arm and 54 in the HRZE arm. For the primary endpoint, Subjects in the 
M-PA200-Z arm had a statistically significantly greater decline in the log CFU count over the 8 weeks, than the 
Subjects in the HRZE arm.  Finally, pretomanid has recently been studied in combination with bedaquiline and 
other agents in a 2 week EBA study (NC-003).

2.2.2.3. Pretomanid Clinical Safety 
Across the 15 clinical studies with pretomanid completed to date, a total of 649 Subjects have been exposed to 
pretomanid, including 289 healthy Subjects across the 10 Phase 1 studies and 360 Subjects with newly 
diagnosed smear positive pulmonary TB across 5 Phase 2 studies.  Among the 289 healthy Subjects, 174 received 
exposure to a single dose of pretomanid ranging from 50 to 1500 mg and 115 received exposures to repeated 
daily doses of pretomanid (50 to 1000 mg) for up to 14 days. The 360 Subjects with newly diagnosed smear 
positive pulmonary TB were exposed to pretomanid either as a single agent at daily doses of 50 to 1200 mg for 
14 days or in combination with other anti-TB agents (bedaquiline, moxifloxacin pyrazinamide and/or 
clofazimine) at a dose of 100 mg or 200 mg for up to 56 days.  The overall safety profile determined from the 
clinical studies completed to date indicates pretomanid is well tolerated in healthy adults and in TB Subjects 
when administered alone and in combination with moxifloxacin, pyrazinamide, bedaquiline and clofazimine.   
In the Phase 1 studies in healthy volunteers the most common side effects or AEs associated with pretomanid 
exposure include: 
• 
Headache; 
• 
Benign, isolated and reversible elevations of serum creatinine; 
• 
Stomach discomfort (nausea, vomiting, flatulence, and/or diarrhea); 
• 
Skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders. 
Key safety considerations of special concern, based on preclinical or clinical findings in the program to date, are 
noted below and will be under close scrutiny in future trials: 
Cataracts 
While the detailed examinations in Phase 2 have not raised concern for humans, ophthalmologic examinations, 
with slit lamp exam and grading of lens opacities, will continue in Nix-TB. These examinations are to follow up on 
the finding of cataracts in rats exposed to pretomanid in preclinical studies. 
 
Testicular Toxicity 
Clinical evaluations of potential testicular toxicity in NC-002 failed to demonstrate any effect, based on 
evaluations of testosterone, LH and FSH values at baseline and after 2 months of daily dosing of the M-Pa-Z 
regimen.  However to follow up on findings in the male rat of testicular toxicity, all male subjects in the 
upcoming Phase 3 trial of the M-Pa-Z regimen will have evaluations of male hormones, and a substudy will 
evaluate changes in semen and sperm parameters in a subset of patients receiving the regimen over 6 months.

Central Nervous System 
The pretomanid pre-clinical program identified potential CNS-related toxicities and one Subject treated with 
pretomanid in clinical study NC-002 experienced a seizure while on treatment. Close surveillance will be in place 
to identify any seizures or significant central nervous system (CNS) signs or symptoms during the Nix-TB study. 
Hepatic Safety 
Hepatic enzyme increases have been seen in Subjects treated with pretomanid in combinations with various 
other medications during the clinical development program. It is difficult to assign specific causality to any one 
drug within a regimen; nonetheless, the Nix-TB will include specific monitoring of hepatic enzymes. 
Detailed Safety Findings in Pretomanid Clinical Development 
In Phase 1 trials at the clinical dose of 200mg or lower, the incidence of headache was approximately 20-30% 
and similar to placebo.  At doses of 800mg and higher, usually in trials without a placebo or comparator arm, the 
incidence of headache reached 80%.  Headache occurrence was typically higher in studies with longer 
confinement periods.  Throughout the development program, other common TEAEs include elevated serum 
creatinine, stomach discomfort (including nausea and other gastrointestinal symptoms such as flatulence and/or 
diarrhea), and skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders (including erythema, pruritus and rash).  Skin and 
subcutaneous tissue disorders, followed by stomach discomfort were the most commonly reported TEAEs in the 
Phase 2 monotherapy studies (PA-824-CL-007 and PA-824-CL-010).  Within Study PA-824-CL-007, a higher 
incidence of pretomanid TEAEs were observed in the higher pretomanid dose groups (pretomanid 200 mg: 7%; 
pretomanid 600 mg: 13%; pretomanid 1000 mg: 31%; and pretomanid 1200 mg: 33%).  The incidence of the 
TEAEs in the Rifafour® treated group was 25%.  Study PA-824-CL-010, among the four pretomanid treatment 
groups (50 mg, 100 mg, 150 mg, and 200 mg) and the Rifafour® treatment group, a higher incidence of TEAEs 
was observed in the 50mg pretomanid group (66.7%) when compared with Rifafour® (50.0%) and the other 
pretomanid treatment groups. For the multidose, placebo-controlled Studies PA-824-CL-002 and PA-824-CL-005, 
overall AE frequency tended to be greater among pretomanid Subjects than among placebo Subjects, and 
tended to be higher in higher pretomanid dose groups.   
Study PA-824-CL-005 was undertaken to determine the mechanism responsible for the elevation in serum 
creatinine seen with pretomanid dosing in studies PA-824-CL-001 and PA-824-CL-002.  This study explored the 
effects of pretomanid on kidney function by measuring glomerular filtration rate (GFR), effective renal plasma 
flow (ERPF), filtration fraction (FF, calculated as GFR/ERPF), and creatinine clearance.  Subjects were dosed in 
blinded fashion with placebo, 800 mg pretomanid, or 1000 mg pretomanid for 8 days.  Serum creatinine levels 
rose in both the 800- and 1000-mg/day pretomanid groups, by an average of 0.18 mg/dL (19%) and 0.25 mg/dL 
(27%) in the two groups respectively by Day 8; the largest individual increase was approximately 40% over 
baseline.  In this study, although serum creatinine levels rose, no meaningful effects were noted during the 
dosing period on GFR, ERPF, BUN, uric acid or FF.  As expected, creatinine clearance was reduced concomitantly 
with maximally elevated serum creatinine levels relative to baseline.  Taken together, these results indicate that 
pretomanid does not negatively affect renal function.  Instead, the drug can be assumed to cause its effects on 
serum creatinine by inhibiting tubular creatinine secretion; such an effect has been reported with other 
approved drugs (e.g. cimetidine) and is not considered clinically significant.   
Across all studies, the great majority (>~95%) of AEs resolved without sequelae.    In Study PA-824-CL-005, one 
Subject treated with 800 mg pretomanid was discharged with three ongoing AEs (proteinuria [nephrotic range 
during the study, but non-nephrotic range in follow-up], hypoalbuminemia, and iron deficiency).  The 
proteinuria and hypoalbuminemia were moderate in severity and the iron deficiency was mild.  This Subject 
substantially improved, and the Subject is seen periodically by a nephrologist.  A renal biopsy performed 20

months post-study revealed focal segmental glomerulosclerosis likely secondary type, although the Subject 
remains fundamentally healthy with normal renal function indices and no signs of peripheral edema or 
hypertension.  A complete review of her screening and check-in laboratory values suggests, in the opinion of the 
Sponsor, that she might have had a pre-existing undiagnosed clinical condition including atypical lipid profile, 
BUN below the lower limit of the normal range, and ALT and AST above the upper limit of normal range.  
Furthermore, her eosinophil count was above-normal at Screening at 6.7% and progressively rose during the 
study to 8.9% by Day 15 and she reported a personal and family history of allergies and rhinorrea.  The 
Investigator considered this individual normal and meeting the protocol entry criteria, and enrolled this Subject.  
In most of the completed Phase 2 studies, no Subjects discontinued from the study as a result of AEs.  In Study 
PA-824-CL-002, dosing for all Subjects in the 1000 mg dose group was discontinued on Day 5 in response to 
rising serum creatinine levels.  In Study PA-824-CL-005, one Subject was discontinued for safety reasons in 
relation to a severe rash that developed approximately 32 hours after the 8th and last dose of pretomanid 
(1000 mg).  The rash symptoms were treated with diphenhydramine, prednisone, and hydroxyzine at various 
points during the ensuing approximately 9 days until the symptoms completely resolved.  In Study PA-824-CL-
007, two Subjects (one in the 200 mg/day pretomanid group and one in the control arm) were discontinued as a 
result of disease-related hemoptysis.  Each of these events was classified as an SAE, both resolved with 
treatment in hospital and neither was considered possibly related to the study drugs.  In Study PA-824-CL-010, 
one Subject was withdrawn due to the SAE of pneumothorax after 4 days’ dosing, which resulted in 
hospitalization and later resolved.  The SAE was deemed related to the Subject’s concurrent tuberculosis and 
unrelated to pretomanid.   
Post-study follow-up ophthalmic examinations were performed on Subjects and Subjects enrolled in two studies 
(PA-824-CL-005 [n=30] and PA-824-CL-007 [n=46]) where Subjects received the highest doses of pretomanid for 
the longest duration among the clinical studies conducted to date.  Male and female healthy volunteers were 
treated at doses up to 1000 mg/day for 8 days in study PA-824-CL-005, and male and female TB Subjects were 
treated at doses up to 1200 mg/day for 14 days in study PA-824-CL-007.  Two ocular events were reported, one 
cataract was among the 12 Subjects from the 1200 mg pretomanid group in study PA-824-CL-007 and the other 
cataract was from among the 5 Subjects within the HRZE group.  
In NC-001-(B-M-Pa-Z), five Subjects were discontinued prior to completion of their treatment with a pretomanid 
containing arm.  One Subject receiving pretomanid (200mg), moxifloxacin (400 mg), and pyrazinamide (dosed by 
weight) experienced an SAE considered by the Investigator unrelated to the drug combination.  The SAE 
consisted of convulsion as well as aggressive and violent behaviours.  After a CT scan, the Subject was diagnosed 
with neurocysticercosis.  A second Subject receiving pretomanid (200mg), moxifloxacin (400 mg), and 
pyrazinamide (dosed by weight) was withdrawn on Treatment Day 5 based on a protocol specified criterion of 
an increase from baseline in QTcF and QTcB greater than 60 msec on repeated ECGs and accompanied by 
clinically relevant T-wave morphology changes.  On Day 5, the Subject had prolonged QTc values (>60 msec) on 
the pre-dose ECG; however, on repeat ECGs, the QTc values stabilized satisfactorily.  Five hours post-dose on 
Day 5, ECG QTc values were again increased (>60 msec) from baseline and repeat ECGs also revealed T-wave 
changes.  The Subject was, therefore, withdrawn from the study as specified in the protocol.  In addition, two 
Subjects receiving pretomanid (200mg), and pyrazinamide (dosed by weight) were withdrawn due to Grade 3 
ALT levels, although the elevation in ALT in one of these Subjects occurred prior to the first dose of study 
medication.  One Subject receiving pretomanid (200 mg) and bedaquiline (400 mg) was withdrawn due to a 
Grade 3 ALT elevation.  Overall in the trial, 53% of the 15 Subjects in the pretomanid + pyrazinamide  treatment 
arm experienced treatment-emergent adverse events, as compared with 53% of the 15 Subjects in the 
pretomanid + pyrazinamide + moxifloxacin arm and 25% of the 8 Subjects in the HRZE (control) arm.  All of these 
adverse events were rated by the Investigator as mild or moderate.  7% of Subjects in the pretomanid + 
pyrazinamide treatment arm experienced liver enzyme elevations, as compared with 20% of Subjects in the

pretomanid + pyrazinamide + moxifloxacin arm and 0% in the Rifafour® arm, accounting for most of 
the imbalance between groups.  All liver enzyme elevations were < 3x ULN except for two cases.   
Also in NC-001-(B-M-Pa-Z), changes in QT interval were assessed pre-dose and at 2hrs and 5 hrs post-dose on 
each day of the study for the pretomanid + pyrazinamide and pretomanid + pyrazinamide + moxifloxacin 
treatment arms.  On Day 14, the last dosing day, no Subject in either treatment group had a corrected QT 
interval (QTcF) > 450 msec.  One Subject in the pretomanid + pyrazinamide arm had a QTcF increase of between 
30 and 60 msec; no Subject had a QTcF increase > 60 msec.  No Subjects in the pretomanid + pyrazinamide + 
moxifloxacin had a QTcF increase > 30 msec. 
Safety Findings in 8-Week Study NC-002 
Preliminary data analyses of the study NC-002 indicate that a total of 207 Subjects were enrolled, with 60 
randomized to M-PA100-Z, 62 randomized to M-PA200-Z, and 59 to HRZE.  An additional 26 Subjects were 
treated in the M-PA200-Z MDR-TB arm.  In this study 88% of all Subjects had a treatment emergent adverse 
event (TEAE), including 87% in the M-PA100-Z group, 92% in the M-PA-Z group, 85% in the HRZE group and 89% 
in the M-PA-Z MDR-TB group.  Adverse events were graded according to the NIH Division of Microbiology and 
Infectious Diseases Adult Toxicity Table.   
Eleven serious adverse events (SAEs) were reported in 9 Subjects, with one Subject in each of the M-PA100-Z 
and the HRZE groups, and 7 Subjects in the M-PA200-Z group. The Subject in the M-PA100-Z group died of an 
unknown cause 39 days after a single dose of study drug regimen and the death was not considered related to 
study drug by the Investigator or the Sponsor.  Four other SAEs were considered not related to study drug, 
including a pneumothorax, a bone fracture, dyspnea requiring hospitalization, and second degree heart block 
considered on evaluation to be existing prior to entry in to the trial.  SAEs considered possibly related or related 
to the study drug regimen included hyperuricemia likely secondary from pyrazinamide, drug-induced hepatitis 
and elevated liver enzymes.  One Subject had an episode of agranulocytosis that resolved after the study drug 
regimen was stopped and one Subject had a seizure witnessed by the family and was discontinued from the 
study. 
The protocol required that Subjects with hepatic enzyme ALT or AST elevations greater than 3X the Upper limit 
of Normal (ULN) must have study drug discontinued.  Consequently, 25 Subjects were withdrawn from the study 
across the study arms for elevations in hepatic enzymes.  The distribution of elevations in ALT across the study 
arms is presented in Table 5.  While more Subjects in the M-PA200-Z group had elevations in ALT >3 – 5X ULN, 
those with elevations >5X ULN or >8X ULN were fairly evenly distributed across the groups of Subjects with drug-
sensitive M. tb.

All Subjects received ophthalmologic evaluations using the AREDS2 grading system across a range of 0-4 including 
visual acuity testing and slit lamp examinations at baseline and 3 months after completion of study drug dosing. 
All Subjects enrolled with the required zero score grade for all regions of the lens except for 1 Subject who was 
blind in one eye.  Among all Subjects in the trial, 4 Subjects had lens evaluations with a grade of greater than zero. 
One Subject in the M-PA100-Z group and 3 Subjects in the M-PA200-Z group had grades of 0.5 or 1.0 in a single 
eye in one of the 3 zones of the lens.  It is unlikely these findings represent a drug-induced lens opacity given the 
low incidence, the unilateral nature of all findings and the differing zone locations of the findings.  It is common 
in persons with no clinical abnormalities to have grades of 0.5 – 1.0+ in the AREDS2 rating on a slit lamp evaluation. 
Reproductive Hormone Evaluations 
In study NC-002 men were evaluated with plasma samples for the reproductive hormones LH, FSH and 
Testosterone at baseline and at the end of the dosing period.  If the study drug regimen caused testicular toxicity, 
the most sensitive measure from these hormones would be an increase in levels of FSH.  Among Subjects in the 
M-PA100-Z group the mean baseline FSH was 9.027 U/L which decreased to 8.338 U/L at the end of therapy. 
Among Subjects in the M-PA200-Z group the mean baseline FSH was 6.531 U/L at baseline and this decreased to 
a mean of 6.061 at the end of therapy.  Men in the Rifafour group had a mean baseline of 7.394 U/L which 
decreased to 6.714 at the end of therapy.  This gives relative reassurance that the M-Pa-Z regimen is not likely to 
cause testicular toxicity in men. 
Electrocardiographic Conduction Interval Changes 
Subjects in NC-002 had supine resting ECGs taken at baseline, Day 4 and weekly through the 8 week dosing period 
and 2 weeks after the end of dosing.  All ECGs were read by a central cardiology service.  No Subjects had a 
corrected QT interval (QTcF) greater than 500 msec during the study. A small number of Subjects had 
asymptomatic increases in QTcF from baseline over 60 msec:  Two in the M-PA100-Z group, 4 in the M-PA200-Z 
group, none in the Rifafour group and 2 in the M-PA200-Z MDR group.  An evaluation of the mean change from 
baseline across all post-baseline ECGs notes increases of 11.1 msec in the Rifafour group, 11.1 in the M-PA100-Z 
group, 17.8 msec in the M-PA200-Z group and 6.7 in the M-PA200-Z MDR-TB group.  Of note, many Subjects were 
tachycardic at baseline with their active pulmonary M. tb. and had heart rates decrease over the first week of 
therapy.  This fact complicates interpretation of the data based on the QT correction factors that are imperfect 
when correcting for heart rates that change over time.  
2.2.3. Linezolid 
Linezolid is a synthetic antibacterial agent of the oxazolidanone class approved in many countries around the 
world (including South Africa), for drug-resistant, gram-positive bacterial infections, including gram positive 
organisms such as Staphylococcus aureus, coagulase negative Staphlococcus and Enterococcal infections.  The 
recommended dose for these infections is 600 mg twice daily for up to 28 days of therapy(18, 31, 34). Antimicrobial 
effects likely come from inhibition of protein synthesis in the ribosomes of the infecting organism(25).  Resistance 
of M.tb. to linezolid is rare, as this drug has not been widely used to treat tuberculosis.  In a recent study using 
linezolid to treat patients with XDR-TB in Korea, none of 41 patients had resistance to linezolid at baseline(24). 
Preclinical in vitro data shows linezolid is active against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb.), including MDR strains 
with minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) that range from 0.125-1 µg/mL(26).  Recent studies of the 
bactericidal and sterilizing activity of linezolid in a mouse model of M.tb. infection have demonstrated linezolid 
alone causes marked reductions in lung colony forming units (CFUs) from mice following 1-3 months of therapy(5).

In recent years linezolid has been used to treat patients with MDR and XDR-TB, although there have been no fully 
controlled trials of linezolid in a regimen for this indication.  The World Health Organization management 
guidelines place linezolid in Group 5 (“Agents with unclear role in treatment of drug resistant-TB”) in their groups 
of drugs to treat MDR-TB.27  Over the past 10 years small retrospective observational studies have reported good 
results when linezolid has been added to failing regimens for patients with MDR-TB(28, 29, 30) . The most compelling 
recent evidence linezolid may be of benefit to patients with XDR-TB was reported by Lee and colleagues from a 
study in S. Korea(24).  Forty-one patients who had sputum culture–positive XDR-TB and who had not had a response 
to any available chemotherapeutic option during the previous 6 months were randomized to start linezolid at 600 
mg daily or to delay therapy with linezolid at 600 mg daily for 2 months without changing their failing background 
regimen.  After confirmed sputum-smear conversion, or at 4 months, patients underwent a second randomization 
to continued linezolid therapy at a dose of 600 mg per day or 300 mg per day for at least an additional 18 months. 
Thirty four of 39 (87%) of the patients had a negative sputum culture within 6 months after linezolid had been 
added to their drug regimen.  As of the cutoff date prior to publication, of the 38 patients who received linezolid, 
17 were still receiving the treatment per protocol, and 13 had completed treatment, including 6 with no relapse 
during the treatment period, 4 with no relapse at the 6-month follow-up, and 3 with no relapse at the 12-month 
follow-up (end of study).  
While the standard dose of linezolid for short term use for severe bacterial infections is 600 mg bid, some clinicians 
and clinical trials using linezolid as Group 5 therapy to treat TB use only 300 mg or 600 mg daily due to concerns 
about toxicity developing when used over a period of months(24) (see below for a review of linezolid toxicity). 
However, there are no data to indicate what dose of linezolid is required or optimal to effectively treat TB 
infection.  Consequently the TB Alliance has recently conducted and completed an Early Bactericidal Activity trial 
to evaluate the use of linezolid over 14 days in patients with newly diagnosed DS Pulmonary TB in dosing schedules 
including 300 mg daily, 300 mg bid, 600 mg daily, 600 mg bid, 1200 mg daily, and HRZE at standard doses daily. 
Preliminary unpublished in-house results using Bayesian mixed effects modelling have noted that there is a 
bactericidal effect of linezolid over 14 days that is substantial, but less than for the full HRZE regimen.  There is 
little difference between daily or twice daily dosing of the same total daily dose of drug, and there is a dose-
response relationship between total daily dose and daily reductions in either total CFU counts on solid culture or 
increases in Time to Positivity in liquid culture.  Point estimates of the log of the daily increase in Time to Positivity 
over 14 days ranged from 2.278 for Linezolid 300 mg QD to 4.446 for linezolid 1200 mg qd, with the estimate of 
6.860 for HRZE for reference. 
Linezolid Clinical Safety 
Linezolid is currently marketed globally, including South Africa, for a variety of acute infectious diseases and has 
been studied for the treatment of XDR-TB in several recent trials, including in South Africa(24,33). The following list 
of known and potential risks is based on the warnings and precautions and adverse reactions sections of the 
current package label(18,31, 34).  Of note, the approved indication for linezolid is for administration up to 28 days. 
 Warnings and Precautions 
•
Linezolid should not be used in patients taking any medicinal product which inhibits monoamine oxidases
A or B (e.g. phenelzine, isocarboxazid) or within 2 weeks of taking any such product.

•
Myelosuppression (including anemia, leukopenia, pancytopenia, and thrombocytopenia) has been
reported in patients receiving linezolid. In cases where the outcome is known, when linezolid was
discontinued, the affected hematologic parameters have risen toward pretreatment levels. Complete
blood counts should be monitored weekly in patients who receive linezolid, particularly in those who
receive linezolid for longer than two weeks, those with pre-existing myelosuppression, those receiving
concomitant drugs that produce bone marrow suppression or those with a chronic infection who have
received previous or concomitant antibiotic therapy. Discontinuation of therapy with linezolid should be
considered in patients who develop or have worsening myelosuppression.
•
Lactic acidosis has been reported with the use of linezolid. In reported cases, patients experienced
repeated episodes of nausea and vomiting. Patients who develop recurrent nausea or vomiting,
unexplained acidosis, or low bicarbonate level while receiving linezolid should receive immediate medical
evaluation.
•
Spontaneous reports of serotonin syndrome associated with the co-administration of linezolid and
serotonergic agents, including antidepressants such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs),
have been reported.  Where administration of linezolid and concomitant serotonergic agents is clinically
appropriate, patients should be closely observed for signs and symptoms of serotonin syndrome such as
cognitive dysfunction, hyperpyrexia, hyperreflexia and incoordination. If signs or symptoms occur
physicians should consider discontinuation of either one or both agents. If the concomitant serotonergic
agent is withdrawn, discontinuation symptoms can be observed (see package insert of the specified
agent(s) for a description of the associated discontinuation symptoms).
•
Peripheral and optic neuropathy has been reported in patients treated with linezolid, primarily those
patients treated for longer than the maximum recommended duration of 28 days. In cases of optic
neuropathy that progressed to loss of vision, patients were treated for extended periods beyond the
maximum recommended duration. Visual blurring has been reported in some patients treated with
linezolid for less than 28 days. If patients experience symptoms of visual impairment, such as changes in
visual acuity, changes in color vision, blurred vision, or visual field defect, prompt ophthalmic evaluation
is recommended. Visual function should be monitored in all patients taking linezolid for extended
periods (≥ 3 months) and in all patients reporting new visual symptoms regardless of length of therapy
with linezolid. If peripheral or optic neuropathy occurs, the continued use of linezolid in these patients
should be weighed against the potential risks.  Additional information on the neuropathies reported in
recent studies of linezolid administered over prolonged periods to patients with TB infection is
presented above in Section 2.2.3.
•
Convulsions have been reported in patients when treated with linezolid. In some of these cases, a history
of seizures or risk factors for seizures was reported.
•
Postmarketing cases of symptomatic hypoglycemia have been reported in patients with diabetes
mellitus receiving insulin or oral hypoglycemic agents when treated with linezolid, a reversible,
nonselective MAO inhibitor. Some MAO inhibitors have been associated with hypoglycemic episodes in
diabetic patients receiving insulin or hypoglycemic agents. While a causal relationship between linezolid
and hypoglycemia has not been established, diabetic patients should be cautioned of potential
hypoglycemic reactions when treated with linezolid.
Longer term use of linezolid in patients with TB has been limited by the high cost of the drug and concerns about 
the toxicities of myelosuppression, peripheral neuropathy and optic neuropathy. Published reports of 
observational trials and case series note use of linezolid at doses ranging from 300 mg daily to 1200 mg daily over 
many months.  The most complete review is a meta-analysis by Cox which noted the proportion of adverse events 
necessitating treatment discontinuation was significantly different by dose: 29.49% (95%CI 3.24–55.74) for ⩽600 
mg daily vs. 60.75% (95%CI 42.69–78.81) for >600 mg daily (P = 0.05) (33).

The linezolid product label(18, 31, 34) notes that “In clinical trials 2.4 % of patients developed a platelet count less 
than 75% of the LLN/baseline. Thrombocytopenia appears to be dependent on duration of therapy, (generally 
greater than 2 weeks of treatment).” The label notes also, “In cases where the outcome is known, when linezolid 
was discontinued, the affected hematologic parameters have risen toward pre-treatment levels.” 
In the trial of Lee et al in S Korea(24), seven of 41 Subjects had myelosuppression, including anemia and 
neutropenia, primarily within the first 5 months, and only one Subject withdrew due to anemia.  Six had clinically 
significant myelosuppression:  5 in 0-4 months and 1 in 4-8 months, with 0 in 8-12 months. 
Peripheral and Optic Neuropathy: 
The linezolid product label notes these adverse events have been “ …reported in patients, primarily those patients 
treated for longer than the maximum recommended duration of 28 days.  In cases of optic neuropathy that 
progressed to loss of vision, patients were treated for extended periods beyond the maximum recommended 
duration.  Visual function should be monitored in all patients taking ZVYOX for extended periods (>3 months) and 
in all patients reporting new visual symptoms, regardless of length of therapy(32). 
In Lee, NEJM, 2012(24), the publication’s Supplemental Table 3 notes that 21 patients had clinically significant 
peripheral neuropathy spread over 12 months:  5 in months 0-4, 10 in months 4-8 and 5 in months 8-12 (time of 
onset not noted for one).  Subjects who developed any peripheral neuropathy had their dosing of linezolid 
interrupted, generally for several weeks, and then resumed at the lower dose of 300 mg/day (C. Barry, personal 
communication).  None of the Subjects withdrew from the study based on peripheral neuropathies.  At baseline, 
patients received visual acuity testing, contrast sensitivity and color vision tests. Seven cases were observed as 
having potential effects on vision; only two of 38 patients withdrew from study due to optic neuropathy.  For 
clinically significant optic neuropathy, one had this at 0-4 months, 2 at 4-8 months and 3 at months 8-12.  Except 
for the 2 Subjects who withdrew from the study, the others resumed linezolid at the 300 mg dose after a hiatus 
of several weeks of treatment and completed the study with resolution of their visual acuity changes (C. Barry, 
personal communication). 
In the Schecter California DOH review(29) peripheral neuropathy developed in 5 of 30 patients (no standardized 
monitoring), but only one withdrew from linezolid therapy.  One patient developed visual loss secondary to optic 
neuropathy after 10 months of linezolid therapy, but vision returned to normal 3-4 weeks after discontinuation. 
In Park, 2006(30), two patients of eight in the case series developed optic neuropathy after 8-9 month and had 
linezolid discontinued; these patients also had peripheral neuropathy. After linezolid treatment was stopped, the 
optic neuropathy fully resolved after 2-3 months.  A total of 4 patients developed peripheral neuropathy at 4, 5, 
8, 11 months; in the patients with optic neuropathy who stopped treatment, the peripheral neuropathic 
symptoms continued or improved only marginally. 
In Singla, 2012(30), two of 29 patients treated with linezolid, 600 mg daily over 12 months, stopped the drug 
because of peripheral neuritis (one patient) and optic neuritis (one patient).  The time course of these adverse 
events was not noted. 
2.3. Regimens to be Studied 
The regimen included in this study (B-L-Pa) has been selected based on the performance of the regimen in non-
clinical pharmacology studies and on the combination of bedaquiline and pretomanid with other drugs in clinical 
studies NC-001 and NC-003.  In addition, improved treatment outcomes in XDR patients with the addition of 
linezolid to existing therapy provide support for combining linezolid with other drugs that have no pre-existing 
resistance. 
This regimen has the potential to treat drug resistant strains of tuberculosis. This is an oral regimen, removing the 
need for injectables as part of drug resistant treatment, and is also projected to be markedly less expensive than 
current XDR-TB therapy. Treatment duration is anticipated to be shorter than current regimens for drug resistant

TB, based on findings in mouse models of infection and the fact that all Subjects will be treated with three active 
drugs against TB for which there is no expected resistance. 
The key data supporting the use of the B-L-Pa regimen are described below. 
2.3.1. Non-Clinical Studies 
In the murine model of TB, addition of bedaquiline to HRZ results in accelerated clearance of M.tb (4•5) when 
compared to HRZ alone. While the combination of bedaquiline and pretomanid in the murine model of TB 
appeared somewhat antagonistic relative to bedaquiline alone, it was as active as the triple combination of HRZ(io) 
and in a subsequent study it was more active in the mouse model than HRZ(11l. Thus a novel regimen with 
bedaquiline plus pretomanid core could be effective in the treatment of MDR-TB by providing two novel drugs for 
which there is no known pre-existing resistance. 
Recent studies of the bactericidal and sterilizing activity of linezolid in an animal model where mice were given 
high dose aerosol M.tb. infection have demonstrated that L alone and in combination with bedaquiline and 
pretomanid causes marked reductions in lung colony forming units (CFUs) from mice following 1-3 months of 
therapy (Table 7, below). Additionally, all mice treated daily with bedaquiline, pretomanid and linezolid (B-L-Pa) 
were cured of the infection after 3 months of therapy as evidenced by no M.tb. cultured from lungs when mice 
were sacrificed 3 months after the completion of therapy that lasted 3 months or more (Tables 7 and 8, below). 
That is in contrast to the 6 months required to cure all mice when treated with the standard of care isoniazid, 
rifampicin and pyrazinamide (HRZ; note that typically ethambutol is not used in the mouse model of infection). 
Additional mouse studies were done to determine whether shorter durations of an oxazolidinone such as 
Linezolid, with continuation of the other drugs, would result in relapse-free cure in the mouse (Table 8 below). 
Treatment with linezolid for the first 4- 8 weeks of a three month treatment also resulted in relapse-free cure 
when lungs from the mice were cultured 3 months after the completion of therapy.(5)

In conclusion, linezolid increases the sterilizing activity of the bedaquiline-pretomanid combination; no M. tb. 
could be cultured from the lungs of mice 3 months after cessation of 3 months of treatment with the combination 
in contrast to M. tb. cultured from 13 of 15 mice treated with the standard 2RHZ/4RH regimen over 3 months. In 
addition, limiting the duration of L to the first month of treatment does not affect L's contribution to the sterilizing 
activity of the regimen in the preclinical mouse study. 
Prior to the use of pretomanid in combination with ·bedaquiline in clinical study NC-001, a preclinical 
cardiovascular safety pharmacology study was conducted in unrestrained beagle dogs with both drugs to explore 
the potential for additive effects on QT prolongation induced by the combination. Results indicate that 
administration of 100 mg/kg bedaquiline daily for 7 days causes a small increase in QTc interval by Day 6 in some 
animals that is not influenced by the addition of 100 mg/kg pretomanid on Day 7. The effect of pretomanid dosing 
alone on QT interval appeared to be due to discomfort related to the subcutaneous route of administration and 
not related to the plasma exposure. 
2.3.2. Clinical Study NC-001 
Study NC-001 was a partially double-blind, randomized, parallel group study in adult male and female subjects 
with newly diagnosed, uncomplicated, smear-positive, pulmonary TB. A total of 85 subjects met study eligibility 
criteria and were randomly assigned to one of the following six treatment groups: bedaquiline alone; bedaquiline 
+ pyrazinamide; bedaquiline + pretomanid 200 mg; pretomanid 200 mg + pyrazinamide; pretomanid 200 mg + 
pyrazinamide, + moxifloxacin; or Rifafour e-275. All study treatments were given once daily for 14 days. 
Substantial EBA activity was demonstrated across subjects in all arms of the study and the daily reductions in 
cultured colony counts per ml of sputum are presented in Table 9 below.

2.3.3. Clinical Study NC-003 
Efficacy 
In the 14 day EBA study NC-003 two monotherapy and four different combinations of bedaquiline, pretomanid, 
pyrazinamide and clofazimine were evaluated in DS-TB subjects. Fifteen Subjects were randomized into 7 
treatment arms: C, Z, B-Pa-Z-C, B-Pa-Z, B-Pa-C, B-Z-C, and HRZE control. This study demonstrated no EBA for the 
clofazimine monotherapy arm and modest EBA for the pyrazinamide monotherapy arm. However, all of the 
experimental regimens demonstrated EBA. In general, adding clofazimine to the various agents resulted in either 
no increase in EBA, or a decrease when compared to a similar regimen that did not include clofazimine. In this 
study, the experimental regimen with the best EBA was B-Pa-Z which demonstrated a rate of decrease in both 
logCFU and logTTP that was at least as good as the HRZE control. The daily logCFU results are presented in Table 
10. Similar results were found when TTP was used to calculate the bactericidal activity over 14 days (BA(0-14)).

Generally, the regimens in this study were well tolerated. Table 11 provides a list of the overall safety findings. 
The only SAE experienced in the study was in a Subject in the clofazimine monotherapy arm. Otherwise, the rates 
of treatment emergent AEs (TEAEs) were similar across the treatment arms. One Subject in the B-Pa-Z arm was 
withdrawn from the study due an adverse event of increased liver function tests (ALT, AST and GGT).

QT Prolongation 
Because bedaquiline and clofazimine are both known to prolong the QT interval, intensive ECG monitoring was 
included in the study endpoints. The mean change from baseline in QTcB and QTcF tended to be larger at 5 hours 
than at 10 hours post-dose in the (B-Pa-Z-C) arm and in the (B-Pa-C) arm.  No QTcB or QTcF ≥500 ms were reported. 
An increase from baseline to Visit 5 and subsequent visits of ≥60 ms in QTcB was reported for 2 Subjects in the (B-
Pa-C) arm and for 1 Subject in the clofazimine alone arm.  An increase from baseline to Visit 5 and subsequent 
visits of ≥60 msec in QTcF was reported for 4 Subjects in the (B-Pa-C) arm and for 1 Subject in the clofazimine 
alone arm.  For both QTcB and QTcF, the (B-Pa-Z-C) arm and the (B-Pa-C) arm showed the largest increase from 
baseline. Clofazimine will not be used in any treatment arms in the current Nix study. 
2.4. Overall Benefit/Risk Assessment 
The recent report of the long term outcome of patients with XDR-TB treated in S. Africa highlighted the very poor 
prognosis for patients with this disease.  After 60 months of follow up 73% of 107 patients had died and only 11% 
had a favourable outcome(23).  These patients have infection with M.tb. that is resistant to many/most of the 
available drugs to treat tuberculosis.  Patients with XDR-TB have limited treatment options due to their resistance 
profile, and the drugs that are typically used in Standard of Care have many side effects, some are administered 
as injectables and have poor treatment outcomes in XDR-TB.  This trial provides an opportunity to treat patients 
with XDR-TB with three active drugs, for which there is no or minimal pre-existing resistance, in a very closely 
controlled and monitored clinical trial setting.  Subjects will be monitored closely and regular reviews of safety 
and efficacy will be made by the DSMC.  While this is an untested combination regimen in patients with XDR-TB, 
this regimen has the potential to give relapse-free cure of XDR-TB with a simple regimen in a much shorter period 
of time than currently required by the available drugs used in the best standard of care.  Preclinical studies of this 
regimen in a murine model of infection demonstrated relapse free cure of M.tb. in half the time (3 vs 6 months) 
required by standard HRZ therapy.  Clinical studies of linezolid alone and pretomanid and bedaquiline alone and 
in combination have demonstrated activity against TB infection. 
These three drugs have not been used in combination in humans and thus their combined toxicity profile is not 
known.  There is limited experience with both B and Pa to date and thus their safety profile is emerging.  The 
greatest risks of key concern for subjects in this trial from linezolid are from the adverse events of

myelosuppression and peripheral and optic neuropathy.  Subjects will be closely monitored with full blood counts, 
vision examinations, and screening for peripheral neuropathy.  The investigator may interrupt dosing of either 
linezolid or linezolid with pretomanid and bedaquiline if adverse events of concern develop, and a resumption of 
the drugs, with linezolid at the same or at a lower dose, or without linezolid if the subject received at least 4 weeks 
of the 1200 mg total daily dose, may be made cautiously.  Subjects will be under close surveillance for 
hepatotoxicity, as that risk for pretomanid and bedaquiline is not yet well characterized.  Other adverse events of 
special concern are seizures or other neurologic events.  Seizures have been reported in patients taking linezolid, 
seizures have been noted in animal toxicology studies of pretomanid at higher doses, and one unexplained seizure 
was noted in a patient taking M-Pa-Z in Study NC-002. 
Overall the benefit-risk balance justifies evaluating the B-L-Pa regimen in this study, with the cautious surveillance 
in place, to treat patients with XDR-TB who have few options for a successful outcome. 
3. TRIAL RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES 
3.1. Trial Rationale 
This trial will provide a regimen containing 3 drugs against which there is no expected M.Tb. resistance in the 
community for patients with limited treatment options while simultaneously gathering important efficacy and 
safety data on a regimen that could potentially treat all strains of M.tb. Data from previous trials shows that the 
combination of B-Pa is well tolerated and has the potential to shorten treatment in Subjects who are susceptible 
to all drugs.  The addition of linezolid will ensure each Subject receives at least 3 drugs active against their TB 
strain.  
3.2. Dose Rationale 
3.2.1. Bedaquiline 
Bedaquiline will be administered as the dose regimen currently approved by the United States Food and Drug 
Administration for treatment of patients with MDR-TB: 400mg once daily for Days 1-14 followed by 200mg three 
times per week for the remainder of treatment.  
3.2.2. Pretomanid 
Pretomanid has demonstrated good microbicidal activity at the 200mg daily dose as monotherapy in studies PA-
824-CL-007 and PA-824-CL-010, in combination with either bedaquiline or pyrazinamide over 14 days in the EBA 
Study NC-001-(B-M-Pa-Z) and in combination with either bedaquiline and/or pyrazinamide and/or clofazimine 
over 14 days in the EBA Study NC-003-(B-C-Pa-Z).  In the EBA Study PA-824-CL-010 the 100mg dose demonstrated 
similar microbicidal activity to the 150 and the 200mg daily dose over 14 days. The Phase 2 trial NC-002-(M-Pa-Z) 
evaluated this regimen at doses of pretomanid of both 100 mg and 200 mg relative to the HRZE control.   In this 
trial the efficacy results were similar between Subjects treated with 100 mg/day and 200 mg/day of pretomanid 
in the regimen, although for the primary endpoint, reduction in colony forming units of M.tb. from sputum, only 
the 200 mg/day dose group was statistically significantly better than the group randomized to standard HRZE 
therapy.  Safety was also similar between the groups, although the 200 mg/day group had more grade 2 adverse 
events than either the 100 mg/day group or the HRZE control group.  Consequently, in an upcoming Phase 3 trial 
for this regimen, the PaMZ regimen will be evaluated at both the doses of 100 mg/day and 200 mg/day. However 
because sterilizing relapse-free cure of TB in patients with XDR-TB may ultimately require a regimen with higher 
drug exposures, the 200mg dose has been chosen for this study. 
 
 
3.2.3. Linezolid

The standard dose of linezolid for a multitude of indications is 400mg or 600 mg BID.  Doses of linezolid used in 
reported observational trials and case series range from 300 mg to 1200 mg per day over periods of up to 20 
months of treatment.  While the development of adverse events is generally higher with higher doses, the adverse 
events often ameliorate with a reduction of the dose or discontinuation of drug for several weeks and then 
reintroduction at a lower dose.  No controlled trials have clearly identified differences in anti-TB effect across a 
range of doses.  This trial initially started all subjects on 600 mg bid of linezolid, the approved dose to treat 
bacterial infections for up to 28 days.  Preliminary unpublished in-house top line results from a recently completed 
2 week study sponsored by the TB Alliance have demonstrated that the Bactericidal effects of linezolid over 14 
days are greatest at a total daily dose of 1200 mg and lowest at a 300 mg total daily dose (see Section 2.2.3 for 
more detail).  This gives further rationale to begin treating all trial participants at the full daily dose of 1200 mg. 
Because toxicity is thought to be caused by mitochondrial toxicity and may be lessened by lowering the time the 
linezolid concentration is greater than the threshold for mitochondrial toxicity, the protocol has been amended 
to require all participants to begin treatment with linezolid at the 1200 mg qd single daily dose.  If adverse events 
develop, the investigator will be able to interrupt dosing or to reduce the dose level to either 600 mg qd or 300 
mg qd in an effort to allow this patient population with high mortality on standard care to continue to benefit 
from the study drug regimen. If subjects have toxicity issues with linezolid that would prohibit further treatment 
with that drug, they can remain on the bedaquiline and pretomanid study IMP if they received the initial 1200 mg 
total daily dose of linezolid for at least the first 4 consecutive weeks of treatment and they are smear negative or 
with trace/scanty results and judged to be clinically improving by the Investigator. 
3.3.      Trial Objectives 
To evaluate the efficacy, safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of bedaquiline plus pretomanid plus linezolid 
after 6 months of treatment (with an option to treat for 9 months in Subjects who are  culture positive or revert 
to being culture positive between month 4 and month 6 visits) in Subjects with either pulmonary XDR tuberculosis, 
treatment intolerant or non-responsive multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). 
4. TRIAL DESIGN
4.1. 
Summary  
Up to 200 male and female Subjects aged 14 and over with confirmed sputum positive for M.tb. in culture 
pulmonary XDR-TB, or with pulmonary MDR-TB with a documented intolerability or non-response to the best 
treatment available for 6 months or more will be enrolled.  
All Subjects will have up to a maximum of 9 days for screening, receive 6 months of treatment, and have follow-
up visits performed 1 and 2 months after treatment completion and every 3 months after study treatment 
completion for 24 months.  If a Subject is culture positive or revert to being culture positive between Month 4 and 
Month 6 visits and their clinical condition suggests they may have ongoing TB infection, they may have treatment 
extended to 9 months (with 24 months of Follow Up) or be withdrawn from the study. If culture results between 
month 4 and 6 are contaminated, missing or considered an isolated positive without clinical significance, please 
use available culture results to make this decision and consult with the TB Alliance Medical Monitor.  All decisions 
regarding treatment extension should be discussed with the TB Alliance Medical Monitor before implementation. 
Subjects who withdraw after <14 days of IMP should attend an Early Withdrawal visit. Subjects who withdraw 
after >15 days of IMP should return for an Early Withdrawal visit and follow-up visits at 3, 6 and 24 months after 
their last dose of IMP to check for survival, SAEs and resolution of TB symptoms.

Trial Endpoints 
4.2.1. Primary Endpoint 
Incidence of bacteriologic failure or relapse or clinical failure through follow up until 6 months after the end of 
treatment. 
Abbreviated Definitions (full definitions will be described in the Statistical Analysis Plan (SAP)): 
• 
Bacteriologic failure: During the treatment period, failure to attain culture conversion to negative. 
• 
Bacteriologic relapse: During the follow-up period, failure to maintain culture conversion to negative status 
in culture, with culture conversion to positive status with a Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb.) strain that is 
genetically identical to the infecting strain at baseline.  
• 
Clinical failure: A change from protocol-specified TB treatment due to treatment failure, retreatment for TB 
during follow up, or TB-related death.  
Note: 
• 
Culture conversion requires at least 2 consecutive culture negative/positive samples at least 7 days apart.

Subjects across selected sites. 
For the PK sub-study samples, the following PK parameters will be estimated from the individual (per Subject) PK 
plasma concentrations: Minimum observed PK plasma concentration (Cmin), maximum observed PK plasma 
concentration(Cmax), time to reach Cmax obtained without interpolation (Tmax), area under the PK plasma 
concentration time (t) curve from zero to the last quantifiable PK plasma concentration prior to the subsequent 
dose, using the linear trapezoidal rule (AUC(0-t)), area under the PK plasma concentration time (t) curve from zero 
to 24 hours (AUC(0-24)).  Oral apparent clearance (CL/F) by non-compartment model. These will be derived for each 
analyte. In addition, for analyte linezolid at BID dose, the AUC0-12, Cmax, Cmin, CL/F and t1/2 will be calculated based

should be kept as a back-up sample for use when the other sample is contaminated.   
• 
Samples for mycocharacterization testing done at central myco lab(s) will be batched and sent for testing 
routinely.  Only one sample should be sent for this testing, preferable the early morning. 
• 
If a subject has a positive culture at or after end of treatment, only the first positive culture will be used 
for the mycocharacterization at the central myco lab(s). If the first positive culture is contaminated, a 
later positive culture, if available, may be used for characterization 
• 
If the Subject was treated with study medication for less than 14 days, the mycobacteriology testing will 
be performed on the baseline sample isolate only.

Treatment Plan:  Schedule of Assessments 
The trial consists of three periods, as follows: 
•
Screening (Up to 9 days Prior to Treatment);
•
Treatment Period (Day 1 to Week 26 OR Day 1 to Week 39);
•
Follow-Up Period (1 month to 24 months post Treatment End).
Refer to: 
•
Study Flow Chart (Section 1.2) for the overview of the timing of all procedures and laboratory samples to 
be done at each visit.
•
Trial Procedures (Section 6) for details regarding specific procedures or laboratory tests.
Visit Window: 
•
Week 1 through Week 16:  ± 3 days
•
Weeks 20 through End of Treatment (Week 26 or 39): ± 7 days
•
Post-Treatment Follow-Up Visits (1-3 months): ± 2 weeks
Note: Subjects on 6 months of treatment should complete a full course of treatment (i.e. 26 
weeks of prescribed doses) within 8 months of treatment assignment (a total halt of up to 60 
days if on 6 months) while subjects on 9 months of treatment should complete a full course of 
treatment (i.e. 39 weeks of prescribed doses) within 12 months of treatment assignment (a total 
halt of 90 days if on 9 months of treatment).  
4.4.1. Screening (Up to 9 Days Prior to Treatment) 
4.4.1.1. Screening 
The screening visit may occur over a number of days up to 9 days prior to treatment assignment, (i.e. all screening 
procedures do not have to be performed on the same day). If a subject fails screening, a full re-screen (all screening 
procedures must be repeated) may occur at a later date.

If both spot sputum samples obtained between Month 4 and Month 6, at the End of Treatment (Week 26/39), 
End of follow-up Period or Early Withdrawal visits are contaminated, the subject should return for an unscheduled 
visit(s) to give additional samples or to document the Subject is not able to produce sputum.  
In order to be able to define a Subject’s primary outcome status it may be necessary in certain situations to contact 
a Subject and request they visit the site in order to collect additional Spot Sputum samples at Unscheduled Visits, 
as follows: 
•
To be assessed on sputum culture results from:
o
End of Treatment Period (Week 26/39);
o
End of Follow-up Period (Month 24);
o
Early Withdrawal (if applicable).
•
Confirm whether the Subject has:
o
Two sequential negative sputum culture results; or
o
Two sequential positive sputum culture results; or
o
Has been unable to produce sputum after documentation of two negative sputum cultures with no
intervening positive and are clinically asymptomatic.
•
If they do not fall into one of these categories, keep collecting Spot Sputum samples x 2 (one Early Morning
and one Spot at the research site under the coaching and observation of the trial staff OR two spot sputum at
the research site if Early Morning is not available) at a minimum of 7 days or more apart until they fall into
one of the above categories.
If in any of the above scenarios the Investigator is unsure of the outcome, the Investigator must contact the 
Sponsor Medical Monitor to discuss and agree on how the patient is to be handled. 
4.5 Treatment Discontinuation and Subject Withdrawal 
Any Subject for whom the Investigator decides to temporarily discontinue their IMP is to contact the Sponsor 
Medical Monitor and, if/when applicable, can be restarted on IMP as described in section 4.6 
A Subject should immediately discontinue treatment and be prematurely withdrawn from the trial (withdrawal of 
informed consent or lost to follow-up) or treatment phase for the following reasons: 
•
Withdrawal of informed consent;
•
Lost to Follow-Up;
•
Investigator considers that for safety reasons (including specific toxicities as described in section 7.3), it is
in the best interest of the Subject he/she be withdrawn;
•
Pregnancy;

•
Regimen halted > 35 days consecutively (providing subject is not smear negative or with trace/scanty
results, judged to be clinically improving by the investigator) and did not receive at least 4 weeks of
linezolid 1200 mg total daily dose since start of treatment;
•
Regimen halted cumulatively greater than 60 days  cumulatively for Subjects receiving 6 months of
treatment and 90 days cumulatively for Subjects receiving 9 months of treatment;
•
If subject did not receive at least 4 consecutive weeks of linezolid 1200 mg total daily dose at treatment
start and Linezolid is:
o
halted cumulatively greater than 60 days  for Subjects receiving 6 months of treatment or
o
halted 90 days cumulatively for Subjects receiving 9 months of treatment or
o
interrupted for greater than 35 days consecutively.
•
At the specific request of the Sponsor or termination of the study by the Sponsor;
•
Subject who, in the opinion of the Investigator or Sponsor, fails to comply with the Protocol, including
non-compliance to IMP.
If at any time the investigator is unsure whether or not to withdraw the Subject, the Investigator is to contact the 
Sponsor Medical Monitor and discuss and agree on how the patient is to be handled. Subjects who withdraw from 
the trial after having received IMP will not be replaced.  
Upon discontinuation of IMP, Subjects will be referred to a unit specializing in the treatment of XDR. 
Subjects who withdraw early should have an early withdrawal visit and additional follow-up visits according to 
timing of withdrawal as outlined in section 4.4.3.4 
Early Withdrawal due to TB 
Ultimately it is the investigator’s decision whether a Subject requires Early Withdrawal from the trial due to a 
concern that the Subject has symptomatic worsening TB and/or bacteriological failure/relapse.  
Early Withdrawal is usually not indicated by a single positive culture.  Should a Subject have a single positive 
culture result after being negative, the investigator is to evaluate whether the Subject has signs and symptoms 
suggestive of active inadequately treated TB and whether it is in the Subjects best interest that he/she be 
withdrawn. Prior to Early Withdrawal of a Subject due to TB, the investigator must discuss the Subject with the 
sponsor medical monitor, unless the investigator cannot contact the sponsor medical monitor and considers that 
Early withdrawal must occur immediately due to immediate safety concerns with respect to the Subject. 
If the investigator decides to withdraw a Subject due to TB, additional sputum samples may need to be collected 
in order to ensure the Subject’s outcome status may be determined (section 4.4.3.4). 
All Early Withdrawal Subjects who are confirmed sputum positive (two sequential sputum positive cultures) 
and/or have symptomatic TB will require further TB treatment. These Subjects will be referred to a unit that 
specializes in treatment of XDR-TB.  
4.6 
Temporary Dose Interruptions and Modifications 
All dose interruption and modifications should be discussed with the Sponsor Medical Monitor prior to 
implementation. 
For Subjects experiencing suspected drug related toxicities due to linezolid, the daily dose of linezolid may be 
reduced or may be temporarily halted for up to 35 consecutive days.  Generally, if temporarily halted, it should 
be re-instituted at a lower dose.  Generally a step down in dose could proceed from 1200 mg QD to 600 mg and 
then to 300 mg daily. Linezolid dose may be re-started at the same dose at Investigator discretion. If subjects have 
toxicity issues with linezolid that would prohibit further treatment with that drug, they can remain on the 
bedaquiline and pretomanid study IMP if they received the initial 1200 mg QD dose of linezolid for at least the

first 4 weeks of treatment and they are smear negative or with trace results and judged to be clinically improving 
by the Investigator. 
For Subjects experiencing suspected drug related toxicities due to other drugs in the regimen (B-Pa), the full 
regimen may be halted for up to 35 consecutive days.  
Subjects on 6 months of treatment should complete a full course of treatment (i.e. 26 weeks of prescribed doses) 
within 8 months of treatment assignment (a total halt of up to 60 days if on 6 months) while subjects on 9 months 
of treatment should complete a full course of (i.e. 39 weeks of prescribed doses) treatment within 12 months of 
treatment assignment (a total halt of 90 days if on 9 months of treatment). For Subjects who completed the first 
4 consecutive weeks of treatment on the 1200 mg linezolid total dose and later in treatment only halted linezolid, 
treatment can be considered complete at 6 months, even if there were multiple interruptions and rechallenges of 
just linezolid while the participant remained on pretomanid and bedaquiline. 
When total of missed dosing days and/or pauses is greater than 7 days, the same number of missed dosing days 
should be dispensed/treatment extended to make up for the total missed doses.   
At no time should the Subject be treated with a single agent. 
4.7 
Stopping Rules 
There are no trial specific stopping rules. 
The trial or parts of the trial can be stopped by the Sponsor on advice from the Data Safety and Monitoring 
Committee (DSMC) after their review of applicable trial data.  In addition, the Sponsor has the right to stop the 
trial or a specific Investigational Site at any time, although this should only occur after consultation between 
involved parties.  Should this occur, the local and central Ethics Committee/Institutional review Board (EC/IRB) 
and Regulatory Authorities will be informed.  Should the Trial/Investigational Site be closed prematurely, all trial 
materials (except documentation that has to remain stored at the Investigational Site) will be returned to the 
Sponsor or vendor.   The Investigator will retain all other documents until notification given by the Sponsor for 
destruction.  Subjects currently on treatment will receive an appropriate regimen and all Subjects will be referred 
to a unit specializing in the treatment of XDR-TB.  
4.8 
Subject Progress Definitions 
All efforts should be made to contact subjects that do not attend scheduled trial visits. The investigator should 
attempt to follow up subjects that miss scheduled trial visits unless the subject has withdrawn consent. 
If a subject fails to attend a scheduled trial visit, the site will attempt to contact the subject as soon as possible by 
phone (if applicable) and, if necessary, a home visit will be made, to encourage attendance at the earliest 
opportunity. 
All Subjects will be categorized with two of the following definitions and this should be clearly documented on the 
eCRF.  
4.8.1 
Enrolment 
Screening Failure 
Subjects from whom informed consent is obtained and is documented in writing (that is, subject signs an 
informed consent form), but are not assigned treatment.

4.9 
Restrictions 
4.9.1 
Prior and Concomitant Medications and Other Treatments 
Concomitant medications should be kept to a minimum during the trial.  However, if concomitant medications are 
considered to be necessary for the Subject’s welfare and are unlikely to interfere with the IMP, they may be given 
at the discretion of the investigator.  For any concomitant medications given as a treatment for a new condition 
or a worsening of an existing condition occurring after signing of the informed consent form, the condition must 
be documented on the Adverse Event pages of the electronic Case Report Form (eCRF). 
The prescribing information for all concomitant medication should be consulted and reviewed carefully.  The 
determinations listed in the respective contraindicated, warning, and precaution sections must be respected in 
order to prevent any potentially serious and/or life-threatening drug interactions. 
The following concomitant medications are prohibited during the treatment period to avoid possible drug 
interactions with the IMP: 
•
Medicinal products used to treat pulmonary TB:  including but not limited to gatifloxacin, amikacin,
cycloserine, rifabutin, kanamycin, para-aminosalicylic acid, rifapentine, thioacetazone, capreomycin,
quinolones, thioamides, and metronidazole.
•
Concomitant use of Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors (MAOIs). (e.g. phenelzine, isocarboxazid)
•
Concomitant use of any drug known to prolong QTc interval (including but not limited to amiodarone,
bepridil, chloroquine, chlorpromazine, cisapride, cyclobenzaprine, clarithromycin, disopyramide
dofetilide, domperidone, droperidol, erythromycin, halofantrine, haloperidol, ibutilide, levomethadyl,
mesoridazine, methadone, pentamidine, pimozide, procainamide, quinidine, sotalol, sparfloxacin,
thioridazine).
o
Treatment with fluoroquinolones (as they are known prolong QTc), are strongly discouraged in
the trial. They should only be used to treat intercurrent non-TB infections and if the benefit of
treatment outweighs the risk of prolonged QTc.
•
Concomitant use of any drug known to induce myelosuppression.
•
The systemic use of CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., azole antifungals: ketoconazole, voriconazole, itraconazole,
fluconazole; ketolids such as telithromycin; and macrolide antibiotics other than azithromycin) for more
than 3 consecutive days;
•
The systemic use of CYP3A4 inducers (e.g., phenytoin, carbamazepine, phenobarbital, St. John’s wort,
rifamycins and systemic dexamethasone.
Concomitant use of serotonergic antidepressants should be avoided if possible as subjects on these agents and 
linezolid are at risk for serotonin syndrome.  
Caution should be used in treating diabetic patients receiving insulin or oral hypoglycemic agents as cases have 
been reported of hypoglycemic reactions when patients on these agents have been treated with linezolid. 
Any drug known to be hepatotoxic should be avoided as much as possible during screening and throughout the 
treatment period (including but not limited to acetaminophen/paracetamol,  acetazolamide, allopurinol, 
amiodarone, amitriptyline, amoxicillin, amprenavir, atorvastatin, augmentin/co-amoxiclav, azathioprine,

4.9.1.1 Recommendations for Concomitant use of Anti-Malarials 
The following treatments for malaria are recommended for concomitant use with the IMP, should it be necessary: 
•
Proguanil/atovaquone or
•
Artesunate plus sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine
These recommendations are based on the potential for QT prolongation by bedaquiline and many anti-malarials. 
Due to the extended half-life of bedaquiline commencing anti-malarial treatment containing drugs that could 
prolong the QT interval, shortly after discontinuing bedaquiline, is not recommended.  
4.9.1.2 Antiretroviral Therapy 
Patients taking bedaquiline should avoid efavirenz due to drug-drug interactions with bedaquiline, and thus 
Examples of allowed treatment include but are not limited to the following.  If there are any questions, discuss 
with the Sponsor Medical Monitor for confirmation of appropriate ARV regimen:  
•
Nevirapine based regimen consisting of nevirapine in combination with any NRTIs;
•
Lopinavir/ritonavir (Aluvia™) based regimen consisting of lopinavir/ritonavir (Aluvia™) in combination
with any NRTIs;
•
The combination of tenofovir/lamivudine/abacavir should be considered in patients with normal renal
function to address myelosuppression cross toxicity of zidovudine and linezolid;
•
An alternate regimen that may be considered if the above are not appropriate is a triple nucleoside
reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) based regimen consisting of zidovudine, lamivudine, and abacavir
may be used with caution. Regimens including zidovudine and linezolid may both cause peripheral nerve
toxicity;
•
Raltegravir in combination with nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs).
Subjects who are commencing ART may be entered onto the study provided there is at least a 2 week interval 
between commencing IMP and the start of ART.  
4.9.1.3 Other Restrictions 
Large quantities of foods or beverages with high tyramine content should be avoided while taking linezolid. 
Quantities of tyramine consumed should be less than 100mg per meal. Foods high in tyramine content include 
those that may have undergone protein changes by aging, fermentation, pickling, or smoking to improve flavour, 
such as aged cheeses (0 to 15 mg tyramine per ounce); fermented or air-dried meats (0.1 to 8 mg tyramine per 
ounce); sauerkraut (8 mg tyramine per 8 ounces); soy sauce (5mg tyramine per 1 teaspoon). The tyramine content 
of any protein-rich food may be increased if stored for long periods or improperly refrigerated. 
Alcohol should be avoided while on IMP, especially in patients with impaired hepatic function.

Pretomanid 200mg once daily Day 1 through week 26 or 39* (1 x pretomanid 200 mg tablet). 
Subjects will receive a minimum of 6 months of treatment, (with 24 months of Follow Up).  If a Subject 
is culture positive or revert to being culture positive between their Month 4 visits and their clinical 
condition suggests they may have ongoing TB infection, they may have treatment extended to 9 
months (with 24 months of Follow Up), or be withdrawn from the study. If culture result between 
month 4 and 6 are contaminated, missing or considered an isolated positive without clinical significance, 
please use available culture results to make this decision and consult with the TB Alliance Medical 
Monitor.  All decisions regarding treatment extension should be discussed with the TB Alliance Medical 
Monitor before implementation  
5.2 
Method of Assigning Subjects to Study Treatment 
Eligible Subjects who have given written, informed consent will be enrolled onto the trial during Screening and 
will be identified by a study generated Subject identification code for anonymity (Subject number).  
Once the screening results are available and subject is eligible to participate, the site will request their 
pharmacist/registered dispenser to assign an IMP treatment number to the Subject. The site 
pharmacist/registered dispenser will assign the next available applicable treatment number, in a sequential basis 
starting from the lowest unused treatment number.   
The process of assigning a treatment number will be fully documented. 
5.3 
IMP Administration 
The Subject should be instructed to: 
•
Take IMP orally once daily with food for 26 weeks, preferably at the same time every day, with a glass of
water (approximately 240ml);
•
Subjects should take IMP with a meal (generally allow the Subjects a window of 30 minutes before to 30
minutes after a meal);
•
When Subjects are hospitalized or return for clinic visits, they will be dosed on site.
5.4 
Subject Compliance 
During site clinic visits or hospitalisation, the IMP will be administered by the Investigator/designated site 
personnel.  During the study, sites will be responsible for ensuring Subjects are taking the IMP correctly and are 
fully trained on how IMP is to be taken. When possible, Subjects will be checked for IMP compliance by the 
Investigators or trial personnel/National TB Treatment Program personnel via the hand-and-mouth procedure 
(both the hand and mouth of the Subject will be checked to ensure that the Subject has swallowed the IMP).

IMP Details/Actual Dosing
6.2 Efficacy Variables and Procedures 
Two  sputum Samples are collected, (one Early Morning brought from home or done in the hospital ward and one 
spot at the research site under the coaching and observation of the trial staff OR two spot sputum at the research 
site if Early Morning is not available). The Mycobacteriology sampling methodology and requirements will be 
described in a separate document, the Laboratory Manual, which will be provided prior to the trial start.  
The following analyses will be performed: 
•
Culture result;
•
If liquid culture in the MGIT platform is used, TTP in liquid medium.

endpoints: 
•
Bacteriologic failure/relapse;
•
Time to Sputum Culture Conversion;
•
Number of subjects with Sputum Culture Conversion.
Every effort is to be made to collect sputum samples. However, in general, the inability to produce sputum is 
treated as being equivalent to having a negative culture (favourable) result.  A subject who never achieves culture 
negative status due to inability to produce sputum, but has completed 6/24 months follow-up and is without 
clinical or biological evidence of relapse, will be considered to have a favorable outcome.

6.4 Pharmacokinetic Variables and Procedures 
Pharmacokinetics will consist of two separate schedules: 
•
All Subjects- Pre-dose sampling at weeks 2, 8 and 16 to measure Ctrough levels of B, B metabolite M2,
linezolid and Pa. 
•
PK Sub-Study Subjects- in addition to the Ctrough samples, there will be intensive PK sampling at week 16
at pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8 12, 12.5, 13, 14, 16, 20 and 24 hours after dosing in a sub-group of 20 evaluable 
Subjects across selected sites. 
Pharmacokinetic Analysis: 
For the Ctrough samples, only descriptive statistics will be prepared (average Ctrough) derived for each analyte. 
For the PK Sub-Study samples, the following PK parameters will be estimated from the individual (per Subject) PK 
plasma concentrations: minimum observed PK plasma concentration (Cmin), maximum observed PK plasma 
concentration(Cmax), time to reach Cmax obtained without interpolation (Tmax), area under the PK plasma 
concentration time (t) curve from zero to the last quantifiable PK plasma concentration prior to the subsequent 
dose, using the linear trapezoidal rule (AUC(0-t)), area under the PK plasma concentration time (t) curve from zero 
to 24 hours (AUC(0-24)). These will be derived for each analyte. In addition, for analyte linezolid at BID dose, the 
AUC0-12, Cmax, Cmin, CL/F and t1/2 will be calculated based on dose interval 0-12 hrs. 
6.5 
Mycobacteriology Characterization Variables and Procedures

Speciation of the infecting organisms by molecular or antigen based test at baseline (Day 1 or screening
to Week 4 if baseline is contaminated or negative) and initial relapse (first positive at end of treatment or 
during follow-up) or any positive at or after the week 16 visit 
All Day 1 (baseline) M.tb. isolates and isolates from positive cultures to be stored at the study microbiology 
laboratory (or the central lab(s)) until trial closure for the applicable study tests. The extracted M.tb. DNA and 
isolates will be stored for potential further work to validate new assay tools for a maximum of 5 years after trial 
closure. 
The Mycobacteriology sampling methodology and requirements will be described in a separate document, the 
Laboratory Manual, which will be provided prior to the trial start.

The Investigators are responsible for eliciting adverse events by observing the Subject and recording adverse 
events observed by him/her or reported by the Subject during the trial.  
7.1 Definitions 
7.1.1 Adverse Event (AE) 
Any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation Subject administered a pharmaceutical 
product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An adverse event can 
therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or 
disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not related to the medicinal 
product. 
7.1.2 Serious Adverse Event (SAE) 
Any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose: 
•
results in death;
•
is life threatening (any event in which the Subject was at risk of death at the time of the event; it does not
refer to an event, which hypothetically might have caused death if it were more severe);
•
requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization;
•
results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity;
•
is a congenital anomaly/birth defect; or
•
is a medically important event.
Note: Medical and scientific judgment should be exercised in deciding which is a medically important event 
that may not be immediately life-threatening or result in death or hospitalization, but may jeopardize the 
Subject or may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed above.  Examples 
of such events are intensive treatment in an emergency room or at home for allergic bronchospasm, blood 
dyscrasias or convulsions that do not result in hospitalization, or the development of drug dependency or drug 
abuse. A “suspected transmission of infectious agent by a medicinal product” is also considered a serious 
adverse event under the SAE criterion “Other medically important condition”.   
7.1.3 Unlisted (Unexpected) Adverse Event 
An adverse reaction, the nature or severity of which is not consistent with the applicable product information 
(e.g., Investigator’s Brochure for an unapproved investigational product or package insert/summary of product 
characteristics for an approved product). 
7.1.4 Life Threatening 
Any event in which the Subject was at risk of death at the time of the event; it does not refer to an event, which 
hypothetically might have caused death if it were more severe. 
7.1.5 Hopsitalization 
Any adverse event leading to hospitalisation or prolongation of hospitalisation will be considered as serious, unless 
at least one of the following exceptions is met: 
The admission results in a hospital stay of less than 12 hours; 
or 
The admission is pre-planned (i.e. elective or scheduled surgery arranged prior to the start of the study);

Page 76 of 112  
or 
The admission is not associated with an adverse event (e.g. social hospitalisation for purposes of respite care); 
or 
Hospitalization is standard of care in the treatment of the subjects TB. However if the hospitalisation is prolonged 
due to the subjects TB symptoms worsening this will be considered serious. 
However it should be noted that invasive treatment during any hospitalisation may fulfil the criteria of ‘medically 
important’, dependant on clinical judgement. 
7.1.6 Associated with the Use of the Drug 
An adverse event is considered associated with the use of the drug (Adverse Drug Reaction) if the attribution is 
possible, probable or very likely. 
7.1.7 Attribution/Causality 
The definitions for rating attribution/causality will be as described in Table 13. 
Table 13: Adverse Events Attribution/Causality Ratings 
Relatedness Rating 
Definition 
Not Related 
An adverse event, which is not related to the use of the drug. 
Unlikely 
An adverse event for which an alternative explanation is more likely, e.g., 
concomitant drug(s) or concomitant disease(s), and/or the relationship in time 
suggests that a causal relationship is unlikely. 
Possible 
An adverse event, which might be due to the use of the drug.  An alternative 
explanation, e.g., concomitant drug(s) or concomitant disease(s), is inconclusive. 
The relationship in time is reasonable; therefore the causal relationship cannot be 
excluded. 
Probable 
An adverse event, which might be due to the use of the drug.  The relationship in 
time is suggestive, e.g., confirmed by dechallenge.  An alternative explanation is 
less likely, e.g., concomitant drug(s) or concomitant disease(s). 
Certain 
An adverse event, which is listed as a possible adverse reaction and cannot be 
reasonably explained by an alternative explanation, e.g., concomitant drug(s) or 
concomitant disease(s).

7.1.8 Severity 
Severity rating is to be made per the DMID Adult Toxicity Table (Appendix 2). For abnormalities NOT found 
elsewhere in the Toxicity Tables, the DMID scale described in Table 14 below is to be used to estimate grade of 
severity: 
Table 14: Adverse Event Severity Ratings 
Grade 
Severity Rating 
Definition 
GRADE 1 
Mild 
Transient or mild discomfort (< 48 hours); no medical 
intervention/therapy required. 
GRADE 2 
Moderate 
Mild to moderate limitation in activity - some assistance may be 
needed; no or minimal medical intervention/therapy required. 
GRADE 3 
Severe 
Marked limitation in activity, some assistance usually required; 
medical intervention/therapy required, hospitalizations possible. 
GRADE 4 
Potentially 
Life-
Threatening 
Extreme limitation in activity, significant assistance required; 
significant medical intervention/therapy required, hospitalization or 
hospice care probable.

7.2.1 Adverse Event (AE) 
Adverse events will be collected by the Investigator from the time a Subject signs the Informed Consent Form 
through to their Month 24 follow-up visit.  The exception is early withdrawal Subjects who will only have SAEs 
collected from their time of early withdrawal to their Month 24 follow-up visit. 
Any AE (serious or non-serious) observed by the Investigator or reported by the Subject will be recorded on the 
Adverse Event Case Report Form.  The Investigator will review each AE and assess its relationship to drug 
treatment based on all available information at the time of the completion of the case report form.  The following 
information will be recorded for each Adverse Event reported (definitions section 7.1): 
•
Diagnosis of the AE, if possible.  In the case where an overall diagnosis cannot be made, each specific sign
and/or symptom will be recorded as individual AEs;
•
Date of onset;
•
Stop Date (duration) if applicable;
•
Severity;
•
Action Taken with IMP;
•
Other Action Taken;
•
Outcome;
•
Relationship to IMP;
•
Occurrence;
•
Seriousness.
7.2.2 Serious Adverse Event (SAE)
Any AE that occurs which is serious must be reported by the Investigator to the study monitor and copied to the 
Sponsor Medical Monitor within 24 hours of the site first being aware of the SAE, whether or not the serious event 
is deemed associated with the use of the drug.   
In addition, the Investigator will provide a detailed, signed, written, and complete SAE report form that addresses 
the Investigator’s estimates of the attribution/causality of the AE to the study drug and the seriousness of the AE 
in question to the study monitor and medical monitor within 24 hours of becoming aware of the SAE. 
The study monitor will confirm receipt of the SAE Form with the Investigator and review the initial information on 
the SAE for diagnosis, consistency and completeness of data.   
For submission of significant updated or additional information on a previously reported SAE, the Investigator will 
provide the study monitor and medical monitor with a newly completed Serious Adverse Event Form.  This will be 
submitted to the study monitor and medical monitor within 24 hours of the Investigator receiving the information. 
The study monitor will query for additional information from the Investigator, if necessary, to complete the profile 
of the SAE reported. 
The Sponsor/Investigator/designee will inform Regulatory Authorities and/or IEC/IRB of all SAEs in accordance 
with local requirements and ICH guidelines for GCP. 
The Sponsor/designee will forward Safety Notification letters to the Investigator for submission to the IEC/IRB 
7.2.3 Follow up of Adverse Events 
All AEs will be followed until: 
•
satisfactory clinical resolution or stabilization; or
•
until the end of the follow-up period; and

Page 79 of 112                 
• 
until all queries on these AEs have been resolved.   
Certain long-term AEs cannot be followed until resolution within the setting of this protocol. In these cases follow-
up will be the responsibility of the treating physician.  However, this will have to be agreed upon with the Sponsor. 
7.2.4 Post-Trial Adverse Events 
Any new SAEs reported by the Subject to the Investigator that occur after the last scheduled contact, and are 
determined by the Investigator to be possible, probable or certainly related to the use of the IMP, will be reported 
to the Sponsor, IEC/IRB and regulatory authorities on an expedited basis as required in accordance with local 
requirements and ICH guidelines for GCP. 
7.2.5 Clinical Laboratory Adverse Events 
Changes in the results of the Clinical Laboratory assessment results which the Investigator feels are clinically 
significant will be reported as adverse events.  It is the Investigators’ responsibility to review the results of all 
laboratory tests as they become available.  This review must be documented by the Investigators’ dated signature 
on the laboratory report.  For each abnormal laboratory test result, the Investigator needs to ascertain and 
document if this is a clinically significant change from baseline for that individual Subject.  This determination, 
however, does not necessarily need to be made the first time an abnormal value is observed.  The Investigator 
may repeat the laboratory test or request additional tests to verify the results of the original laboratory tests.  If 
this laboratory value is determined by the Investigator to be a clinically significant change from baseline for that 
Subject, it is considered to be an adverse event. 
7.2.6 Disease under Study 
Symptoms of the disease under study (Pulmonary Tuberculosis) experienced by the Subject while on the study 
will be assessed by the Investigator.  If the symptom has: 
• 
worsened while the Subject is in the study; and  
• 
the Investigator assesses it as clinically significant; 
it will be recorded as an adverse event.  
 
If there is: 
• 
no change; and  
• 
the Investigator assesses the symptom as due to the Subject’s TB; and  
• 
not clinically significant; 
it will not be recorded as an AE and this will be noted in the Subject’s source documentation.  
All TB related symptoms that meet SAE criteria will be recorded and reported as a SAE. 
7.2.7 Overdose 
Overdose of IMP experienced by the Subject while on the study, will be assessed by the Investigator to determine 
whether the overdose led to an Adverse Event, including if the taking of the suspect medicine led to suicidal 
intention and subsequent overdose of the suspect medicine, or other medication. In this case it will be recorded 
as an adverse event. If it does not lead to an Adverse Event it will not be recorded as an AE and this will be noted 
in the Subject’s source documentation.  
7.2.8 Drug Interaction 
If the Investigator becomes aware that the Subject has experienced a drug interaction which has resulted in an 
adverse event, it will be recorded as an adverse event.  
7.2.9 Pregnancy

The Investigator will immediately notify the Sponsor of any pregnancy that is discovered during IMP 
administration or which started during IMP administration.  Pregnancy forms will be completed for all pregnancies 
reported during the clinical trial, as defined below. In addition, the Investigator will report to the Sponsor 
follow-up information regarding the outcome of the pregnancy, including perinatal and neonatal outcome. 
Infants will be followed for 6 months.   
All women of childbearing potential will be instructed to contact the Investigator immediately if they suspect they 
might be pregnant (for example, missed or late menses) for the following time-periods: 
•
During the trial;
•
Within 6 months after last dose of IMP.
If pregnancy is suspected while the Subject is receiving IMP, the IMP will be withheld immediately until the result 
of the pregnancy test is known.  If pregnancy is confirmed, the IMP will be permanently discontinued in an 
appropriate manner and the Subject withdrawn from the trial. Protocol-required procedures for trial 
discontinuation and follow-up will be performed unless contraindicated by the pregnancy. Should the female 
partner of a male Subject become pregnant during the study or in the 6 months after the completion of IMP and 
the Investigator becomes aware that this situation has occurred, consent will be requested from the female 
partner for collection of information on her pregnancy history and for information on the current pregnancy and 
birth. 
Pregnancy reporting will follow the same time lines and reporting structures as for a SAE (see above). SAE 
reporting will also occur if the pregnancy outcome is a congenital anomaly.  This will follow the reporting 
procedures described above for SAE reporting plus an additional clinical report compiled by the applicable 
company.  
7.3 Monitoring and Safety for Specific Toxicities 
AEs still ongoing at the end of treatment in the trial will be followed until satisfactory clinical resolution or 
stabilization or until the end of the follow-up period and until all queries on these AEs have been resolved.  Grade 
3 and grade 4 laboratory abnormalities and laboratory abnormalities considered clinically significant should be 
followed until satisfactory resolution or stabilization. 
Note: For Grade 3 or 4 laboratory toxicities, Subjects should have a confirmatory measurement within 48 
hours where possible. The recommendations for managing Subjects below assumes the laboratory 
abnormalities of concern have been confirmed. 
Monitoring for specific toxicities is based upon target organs as defined in preclinical toxicity studies 
(Investigator’s Brochures (4,5,15) and Package Inserts (3,18,31,34)). 
7.3.1 
ALT, AST and Alkaline Phosphatase elevations: 
The Investigator should refer to Appendix 8 – Liver Toxicity Management to appropriately manage the Subject for 
clinically significant elevations of AST, ALT or Alkaline Phosphatase. 
7.3.2 
Amylase elevation 
Grade 3 (> 2.0 to ≤ 5.0 x ULN): 
Contact sponsor Medical Monitor to review. Further testing such as pancreatic amylase should be 
considered after consultation with the Sponsor Medical Monitor. 
Grade 4 (> 5.1 x ULN):

Page 81 of 112  
Contact sponsor Medical monitor to review. Investigator should consider subjects with confirmed Grade 
4 elevations of total amylase for temporary or permanent discontinuation from the full regimen.  
7.3.3 
Lipase Elevation 
Grade 3 (> 2.0 to ≤ 5.0 x ULN) or Grade 4 (> 5.0 x ULN): 
Contact Sponsor medical Monitor to review. Investigator should consider subjects with confirmed Grade 
3 or 4 elevations of lipase for temporary or permanent discontinuation from the full regimen. 
7.3.4 
Musculoskeletal System and Cardiac Muscle 
Myalgia 
Grade 2 (muscle tenderness at site other than sites of injection and/or venipuncture or with moderate 
impairment of activity) or Grade 3 (severe muscle tenderness with marked impairment of activity) or 
Grade 4 (frank myonecrosis): 
Subjects with Grade 2 signs and symptoms should be followed closely. Subjects with Grade 3 or 4 signs 
and symptoms should be discussed with the Sponsor Medical Monitor and to consider withholding study 
medication.   
Subjects having Grade 3 (3.1 to 6 x ULN) or Grade 4 (> 6 x ULN) elevation in CK-MB subunit (with a 
confirmatory measure 7 days after the initial lab), the Investigator should consider discontinuing the full 
regimen and discuss with the Sponsor Medical Monitor.  
7.3.5 Cardiac Rhythm Disturbances 
Cardiac rhythm disturbances that are Grade 3 (recurrent, persistent, symptomatic arrhythmia requiring 
treatment) or Grade 4 (unstable dysrhythmia requiring treatment): 
Subjects should be monitored closely.  The Investigator should consider discontinuing the full regimen 
with the Sponsor Medical Monitor.   
QTc prolongation 
•
If QTcF is equal to or greater than 500 msec, the ECG should be repeated and serum electrolytes
should be evaluated. If the second ECG also has a QTcF of > 500 msec, the full regimen should be
withheld and the Sponsor Medical Monitor consulted.
•
New left bundle branch block (LBBB) or Mobitz type 2 or complete heart block. Recordings with
artifacts that interfere with the interpretation of the ECG should be repeated to confirm the findings.
If the finding is from the centralized ECG machine reading the result is to be checked and confirmed
by the Investigator.  If this is confirmed by the Investigator, dosing is to be withheld until the reading
has been confirmed by the central cardiologist and the Subject is to be treated per the Investigator’s
clinical judgment. If it is confirmed by the central cardiologist, the Subject is to be withdrawn from the
full regimen
7.3.6 
Myelosuppression 
Investigator should consider withholding linezolid for subjects with: 
•
Neutropenia with an absolute neutrophil count below 750 (confirmed by repeat);
•
Thrombocytopenia below 50,000;
•
A drop in haemoglobin to ≤ 6 g/dL;

•
Per investigator discretion, a reduction in haemoglobin ≥ 25% of the Subject’s baseline value.
For participants who completed the first 4 weeks on linezolid 1200 mg per day, linezolid can be re-started 
at a later date at Investigator’s discretion.  If participant did not complete first 4 consecutive weeks of 
linezolid at 1200 mg per day, a lapse in treatment of 35 consecutive days or more should result in 
withdrawal from the study.  
7.3.7 Peripheral Neuropathy 
Investigator should consider withholding linezolid or discontinuing the full regimen permanently for 
subjects who if in the investigators opinion there is a significant worsening in peripheral neuropathy.  
For participants who completed the first 4 weeks on linezolid 1200 mg per day, linezolid may be re-started 
at a later date at investigator’s discretion. If participant did not complete first 4 consecutive weeks of 
linezolid at 1200 mg per day, a lapse in treatment of 35 consecutive days or more should result in 
withdrawal from the study. 
7.3.8 Optic Neuropathy 
Investigator should consider withholding linezolid and obtain further consultation with the site 
ophthalmologist for subjects with:
•
A drop in visual acuity of two or more lines on the Snellen charts.
•
Detection of loss of color vision by Ishihara plates defined as > 4 errors on the 12 plate screening
test.
For participants who completed the first 4 weeks on linezolid 1200 mg per day, linezolid may be re-started 
at a later date at investigator’s discretion. If participant did not complete first 4 consecutive weeks of 
linezolid at 1200 mg per day, a lapse in treatment of 35 consecutive days or more should result in 
withdrawal from the study.  
7.3.9. Lactic Acidosis 
Investigator should consider withholding linezolid for subjects who experience unexplained lactic acidosis 
characterized with low bicarbonate levels, weakness and nausea, and subjects should receive immediate 
medical evaluation by the Investigator.   
For participants who completed the first 4 weeks on linezolid 1200 mg per day, linezolid may be re-started 
at a later date at investigator’s discretion. If participant did not complete first 4 weeks of linezolid at 1200 
mg per day, a lapse in treatment of 35 consecutive days or more should result in withdrawal from the 
study. 
7.3.10   Neurological 
Subjects with co-administration of a serotonergic agent, including anti-depressants, should be monitored 
closely for signs of serotonin syndrome.  The Investigator should determine whether permanent 
discontinuation of the full regimen or the concomitant agent should be discontinued for those who 
experience signs or symptoms of serotonin syndrome such as cognitive dysfunction, hyperrexia, 
hyperreflexia and incoordination. 
Linezolid and/or the full regimen should be withheld for subjects experiencing a seizure. The Sponsor 
Medical Monitor should be contacted to review details and discuss whether linezolid or full regimen 
should be resumed.

7.4        Safety Monitoring by the Data Safety Monitoring Committee 
A DSMC will be appointed for the study. The primary responsibility of the DSMC will be to act in an advisory 
capacity to the Sponsor to safeguard the interests of trial Subjects by monitoring Subject safety, assess Subject 
risk versus benefit, and assess data quality and general evaluation of the trial progress. Its activities will be 
delineated in a DSMC charter that will define the membership, responsibilities and the scope and frequency of 
data reviews. The DSMC will operate on a conflict-free basis independently of the Sponsor and the study team. It 
will comprise at least 3 voting members.  The DSMC may have an organisational meeting prior to commencement 
of the trial. The DSMC will have meetings where it will review unblinded data during a closed session. These 
meetings will be planned to occur every 6 months at a minimum. The Sponsor or the DSMC may convene ad hoc 
meetings based on rates of SAEs and/or to review results of the futility analysis or if safety concerns arise during 
the trial.  After its assessment, the DSMC will recommend to the Sponsor continuation, modification or 
termination of the clinical trial.

STATISTICAL ANALYSIS  
The statistical analysis plan (SAP), which will contain details of the analyses described generally in this section, will 
be written and signed off prior to Clinical Database Lock.  
8.1 
Analysis Population 
The intention-to-Treat (ITT) analysis population will comprise of all subjects who were assigned study treatment. 
The Safety analysis population will contain all subjects included in the ITT analysis population and received at least 
one administration of study drug.  
The analysis populations will be defined in the SAP. 
8.2 
Sample Size 
The objective of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of combinations of 
bedaquiline, linezolid and pretomanid in Subjects with either pulmonary XDR-TB, treatment intolerant or non-
responsive MDR-TB. 
Formal sample size calculations have not been performed due to the exploratory nature of the trial (no formal 
statistical hypothesis is therefore to be tested).  
No formal interim analyses will be done for this study. 
8.3 
Interim Analyses 
Timing of initial interim analysis will be conducted when the first 15 participants reach 6 months after completion 
of IMP.  Further interim analyses will be specified in the statistical analysis plan (SAP).  
Once all patients have been recruited or have completed the treatment period, no further futility analyses will be 
performed. 
8.4 
Primary Endpoint Analysis 
The primary efficacy endpoint is treatment failure, defined as bacteriologic failure or relapse or clinical failure 
through follow-up until 6 months after the end of treatment.  
The probability of treatment failure through follow-up until 6 months after the end of treatment, as a function of 
time after assignment of treatment, will be analyzed using Kaplan-Meier analysis. 
The binomial proportion for subjects with bacteriologic failure will be presented.

Change from baseline in Patient Reported Health Status. 
• 
Change from baseline weight. 
The change from baseline in Patient Reported Health Status will be summarized using descriptive statistics by 
visit. 
The effect of baseline covariates may be explored, including but not limited to the presence or absence of cavities 
on Chest X-Ray, the presence or absence of HIV infection and CD4 cell count. 
8.6 Exploratory Endpoint Analysis 
8.6.1 Efficacy

• 
The incidence of all cause mortality will be summarized. 
• 
All adverse events will be coded using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) and will be 
presented by Preferred Term within each MedDRA System Organ Class (SOC). 
• 
Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) are defined as AEs which started at or after the first 
administration of IMP and includes those events started prior to the first administration of IMP but which 
worsened after the first intake.  Adverse events starting after the last administration of IMP until the last 
scheduled visit/assessment/measurement will be regarded as treatment-emergent.

RECORDS MANAGEMENT 
9.1 
Data Collection 
All CRF/eCRF pages will be completed for each Subject who receives any amount of IMP.  For Screening Failure 
Subjects a Screening failure CRF/eCRF will be completed.  For Subjects who are prematurely withdrawn, the visits 
up to withdrawal plus the withdrawal and applicable follow-up visits need to be completed. 
9.2       Source Documents 
Source documents are defined as all information in original records and certified copies of original records of 
clinical findings, observations, or other activities in a clinical trial necessary for the reconstruction and evaluation 
of the trial.  Source documents will include, but are not limited to, progress notes, electronic data, screening logs, 
and recorded data from automated instruments. 
All source documents pertaining to this trial will be maintained by the Investigators.  The Investigator has to permit 
trial-related monitoring, audits, Independent Ethics Committee/Institutional Review Board (IEC/IRB) review and 
regulatory inspections providing authorized persons direct access to source documents. 
9.3       File Management at the Trial Centre 
It is the responsibility of the Investigators to ensure that the trial center files are maintained in accordance with 
International Good Clinical Practice Guidelines and the ethical principles that have their origin in the Declaration 
of Helsinki. 
9.4       Records Retention at the Trial Centre 
The Investigator is obliged to retain records and data from the trial for safety reasons and for audit and inspection 
subsequent to trial completion.  The essential documents should be retained for not less than 5 years after the 
last approval of a marketing application and until there are no pending or contemplated marketing applications 
or at least 5 years have elapsed since the formal discontinuation of clinical development of the IMP.   
The Sponsor will make financial provisions for the Investigator to deposit the documents at an external site for 
safekeeping for as long as required by regulations and the Sponsor.  
10 
QUALITY CONTROL AND ASSURANCE 
10.1 
Site Procedures 
The Investigator undertakes to perform the clinical trial in accordance with this protocol, International GCP, and 
the ethical principles that have their origin in the Declaration of Helsinki, and applicable regulatory requirements.

The Investigator undertakes to complete the CRFs according to the Sponsor’s requirements, in a timely, accurate 
and legible manner. CRF entries will be verifiable to source documentation other than the CRF. 
Site Standard Operating Procedures will be adhered to for all clinical and bioanalytical activities relevant to the 
quality of the study.  Subject compliance will be monitored throughout the study. 
The Investigator will sign and date any analysis results (e.g. laboratory, ECG, etc.) to verify that the results have 
been reviewed. 
The Investigator may appoint other Sub-Investigators to assist with the study. However the Investigator maintains 
responsibility for the study and will supervise the Sub-Investigators. Written IEC/IRB approval will be obtained 
prior to involvement in the study. 
The Investigator will ensure that all site personnel are adequately trained in GCP, the protocol, IB and all study 
procedures and requirements.  
10.2 
Monitoring 
The Investigator is responsible for the validity of all data collected at the clinical site and must accept the various 
monitoring procedures employed by the Sponsor. The purpose of monitoring is to verify that the rights and well-
being of human Subjects are protected; that trial data are accurate, complete and verifiable with source data; and 
that the trial is conducted in compliance with the protocol, International GCP, the ethical principles that have their 
origin in the Declaration of Helsinki and the applicable regulatory requirements.  
Monitors assigned by the Sponsor will conduct regular site visits for the purpose of monitoring various aspects of 
the study.  Visits will take place usually within a predetermined interval, but this may vary during the course of 
the study.  The Investigator and site staff will allow the study monitor and authorized representatives of the 
Sponsor to (1) inspect all CRFs, written informed consent documents and corresponding source documents (e.g. 
original medical records), Subject records and laboratory raw data, and (2) access clinical supplies, dispensing and 
storage areas.  The Investigator and site staff should also (1) agree to assist with monitoring activities if requested 
and (2) provide adequate time and space for monitoring visits.  
The monitor will query any missing, confusing, spurious, or otherwise ambiguous data with the Investigator.  All 
queries should be resolved in a timely manner.  A monitoring log will be maintained recording each visit, the 
reason for the visit, the monitor’s signature and Investigator or designee’s confirmation signature. 
10.3 
Auditing 
For the purpose of compliance with International GCP and regulatory agency guidelines, it may be necessary for 
Sponsor-authorized Quality Assurance personnel and/or authorized personnel from an external regulatory agency 
to conduct an audit or inspection of the investigational site.  The purpose of an audit is to assess the quality of 
data with regard to accuracy, adequacy and consistency, and to assure that studies are in accordance with the 
guidelines.  Having the highest quality data from studies is an essential aspect of drug development.  
The Investigator and site staff will be given sufficient notice to prepare for such visits, which will usually last 
between one and two days and may be conducted at any stage during the study.  The audit will involve the review 
of all study-related documentation required by GCP to be maintained by each site; drug storage, dispensing and 
return; all study-related supplies; and source documents against the CRFs to assure the adequacy and accuracy of 
the information which has been recorded, including the verification of any AEs which have occurred.  
In the event of the site being notified of a Regulatory Inspection, the Sponsor will help with preparation.  It is 
essential that the Sponsor be notified of the inspection as soon as possible.

Basic Principles 
This research will be carried out in accordance with International GCP, the ethical principles that have their origin 
in the Declaration of Helsinki and the applicable regulatory requirements.  
11.2 
Independent Ethics Committee/Institutional Review Board (IEC/IRB) Review 
The protocol and required study related documents will be reviewed by the sites respective IEC/IRB.  The study 
will not start until the IEC/IRB has approved the protocol, written informed consent, any written information to 
be provided to the Subject or any modification thereof, plus any other study related documents required for 
review.  The IEC/IRB shall be constituted and shall operate in accordance with International GCP, the ethical 
principles that have their origin in the Declaration of Helsinki.  
The Investigator will maintain an accurate and complete record of all submissions made to the IRB/IEC.  The 
records should be filed in the Investigator’s Study File, and copies will be sent to the Sponsor. The Investigator 
may delegate IRB/IEC communication responsibilities to another party/vendor (e.g. CRO). This delegation should 
be clearly documented in writing and filed with the study documents at the site.   
11.3 
Regulatory Authorities 
The Regulatory Authorities will receive the protocol, amendments, reports on SAEs, and the Integrated Clinical 
Trial Report according to national regulations.  As required by local legislation, written approval will be obtained 
from the Regulatory Authorities prior to commencement of the trial and implementation of e.g. amendments as 
applicable. 
11.4 
Informed Consent 
Written informed consent will be obtained from all Subjects (or legally acceptable representative) before any trial-
related procedures (including any screening or pre-treatment procedures) are performed.  Investigators may 
discuss the availability of the trial and the opportunity for entry with a potential Subject without first obtaining 
consent.  However, informed consent must be obtained and documented prior to initiation of any procedures that 
are performed solely for the purpose of determining eligibility for research, including withdrawal from current 
medication(s).  When this is done in anticipation of, or in preparation for, the research, it is considered to be part 
of the research. 
The Investigators have both ethical and legal responsibility to ensure that each Subject being considered for 
inclusion in this trial is given a full explanation of the protocol.  This shall be documented on a written informed 
consent form that shall be approved by the same IEC/IRB responsible for approval of this protocol.  Each informed 
consent form shall include the elements required by the international GCP and must adhere to the ethical 
principles that have their origin in the Declaration of Helsinki.  
Once the appropriate essential information has been provided to the Subject and fully explained by the 
Investigators (or qualified designees) and it is felt that the Subject understands the implications of participating, 
the IEC/IRB approved written informed consent form will be signed and dated by both the Subject and the person 
obtaining consent (Investigators or designees), and by any other parties required by the IEC/IRB. 
The original signed informed consent form will be kept with the trial records and a copy of signed informed 
consent form will be provided to the Subject.  Another copy of the signed informed consent form and a source 
document identifying the trial and recording the dates of participation will be placed in the Subject’s medical 
record. 
The monitor will inspect the original completed consent form(s) for all Subjects.

APPENDIX 8  LIVER TOXICITY MANAGEMENT GUIDELINES 
Standard anti-TB chemotherapy is known to cause derangement of liver function tests in a substantial number 
of patients. In many cases, these will be asymptomatic and self-limiting. In some cases, severe hepatitis and 
even fulminant liver failure and death can occur.  
In pre-marketing clinical trials of new drugs and regimens, it is especially important to identify and carefully 
manage any trial subjects who are at risk of progressing to serious liver injury.  The observation of altered liver 
function to a degree with a high risk of progressing further to liver failure has been referred to informally as Hy’s 
Law (Temple 2001; Reuben 2004); this reflects pure hepatocellular injury sufficient to cause hyperbilirubinemia 
is an ominous indicator of the potential for a drug to cause serious liver injury. Briefly, Hy’s Law cases have the 
following three components:  
1. The drug causes hepatocellular injury, generally shown by a higher incidence of 3-fold or greater 
elevations above the ULN of ALT or AST than the (non-hepatotoxic) control drug or placebo; 
2. Among trial subjects showing such aminotransferase (AT) elevations, often with ATs much greater than 
3x ULN, one or more also show elevation of serum total bilirubin (TBL) to >2x ULN, without initial 
findings of cholestasis (elevated serum ALP) ; 
3. No other reason can be found to explain the combination of increased AT and TBL, such as viral hepatitis 
A, B, or C; pre-existing or acute liver disease; or another drug capable of causing the observed injury.  
In a clinical trial of new drugs and combinations, it is especially important for Investigators to closely follow any 
Subjects who have evidence of potential hepatic inflammation or toxicity. During this trial, liver function will be 
monitored regularly via clinical assessments and blood tests to assist in determining which follow up laboratory 
measurements will either document resolution of abnormalities or signal the potential for drug-induced liver 
injury (DILI).  The following procedure describes the management of deranged liver function tests. 
Procedure 
Blood tests for liver function will be taken routinely at Screening (Days -9 to -1), at the specific visits designated 
in the protocol and at Early Withdrawal.  If at any other visit, the Investigator suspects derangement of liver 
function (e.g. the Subject describes nausea and vomiting, right upper abdominal pain or is jaundiced), blood 
should be taken for liver function tests and the Subject comprehensively assessed for evidence of hepatitis, 
hepatic impairment and any potentially contributing cause(s).  
The laboratory source (print-out of any results) should be stored alongside or transcribed into the clinical source 
document. Each abnormal value should be marked as clinically significant (CS) or non-clinically significant (NCS); 
the assessment of significance is at the discretion of the Investigator. All abnormal results that are clinically 
significant must be recorded as Adverse Events in the eCRF and graded clinically per the DMID Adult Toxicity 
Table (Appendix 2).   
Assessments and decision making for elevations in aminotransferase values or bilirubin of various levels of 
concern are detailed below: 
Decision to Consider Stopping Drug Regimen Administration 
Consideration of stopping drug administration, at least temporarily, to subjects with liver function abnormalities 
or signs and symptoms of hepatitis should be discussed with the Sponsor Medical Monitor in the following 
situations: 
• 
ALT or AST >8x ULN;  
• 
ALT or AST >5x ULN for more than 2 weeks;

If a subject has ALT or AST ≥3x ULN and Total Bilirubin >2x ULN, the IMP should be interrupted and the 
Subject’s clinical course discussed with the Sponsor Medical Monitor. 
More detailed assessments and decision making for various levels of elevations in aminotransferase values, 
alkaline phosphatase or bilirubin are detailed below: 
 
Grade 3 per DMID, ALT, AST, AP ≥ 3x ULN to 8x ULN or if a substantial increase from baseline (such as > 2-fold 
increase): 
• 
Contact the Subject and recall them as soon as possible. Assess the Subject for other signs and symptoms of 
more specific hepatic events including hepatic impairment and/or hepatitis. If you are concerned, you 
should consider arranging for the subject to present to a medical facility (e.g. emergency department) 
immediately for assessment.  
• 
Assess the clinical significance - if the Subject has jaundice, a coagulation disorder or signs of hepatic 
encephalopathy, all study medication should be withheld pending assessment/improvement.  
• 
Assess possible contributing factors – This should include (but is not limited to), alcohol, intra-venous and 
other drug use, travel, unwell contacts, any medications with known hepatotoxic potential, herbal products 
and dietary supplements, previous or known hepatitis infection and exposure to environmental chemical 
agents. Although anti-TB chemotherapy is known to cause liver function test derangement, the Subject 
should always be assessed for other possible cause(s) or contributing factor(s).  
• 
The Subject should also be advised to stop taking any medications/substances, other than the study 
medications used to treat TB that may be contributing to or causing derangement of liver function tests. 
• 
Make every effort to repeat the testing of ALT, AST, AP and bilirubin within 48 hours to confirm the 
abnormalities and determine if they are increasing or decreasing.   Consider any additional laboratory tests 
that may help characterize the Subject’s clinical condition. Subjects should be tested for viral hepatitis (e.g. 
hepatitis A and B and any other tests available of viral hepatitis). If tests for viral hepatitis are not available 
or done, it may still be helpful to collect an additional 10ml sample for serum for freezing (5ml yellow/SST 
tube x2) which may be tested later. The Subject’s consent must be obtained for this.  
Elevated liver enzymes considered to be of clinical significance but not accompanied by other signs and 
symptoms, should be reported as an adverse event and recorded as elevated liver enzymes in the eCRF. If the 
term "hepatitis" is used, the Safety Data Manager will question the site for additional evidence to support the 
diagnosis, such as clinical signs, serological or biopsy data. While a liver biopsy is not required to make a 
diagnosis of hepatitis, the term "hepatitis" should be reserved in most instances for cases where there is 
supportive evidence beyond a liver enzyme abnormality. However, if the investigator confirms the diagnosis of 
hepatitis solely on the basis of clinical signs and laboratory values, the diagnosis will be accepted. Should other 
symptoms or signs be present, these should also be recorded as adverse events in the eCRF. 
 
If ALT, AST, AP are Grade 4 per DMID (> 8x ULN): 
• 
Contact the Subject and recall them as soon as possible. Generally, the trial medication should be stopped, 
but this should be discussed first with the Sponsor Medical Monitor whenever possible.  Assess the subject 
for other signs and symptoms of more specific hepatic events, including hepatic impairment and/or 
hepatitis. If you are concerned, you should consider arranging for the subject to present to a medical facility 
(e.g. emergency department) immediately for assessment.

Subject has jaundice, a coagulation disorder or signs of hepatic encephalopathy. All study medications 
should be withheld pending assessment/improvement.

General Principles for following Subjects with potential liver toxicity 
The Subject should be contacted regularly depending on the Grade of LFT elevations and the magnitude of 
increase relative to baseline for the Subject. Initially, this should be daily and subsequently depends on clinical 
course/individual circumstances. Staff must ensure all Subjects know to seek medical attention urgently if they 
experience any evidence of worsening liver disease. Symptoms may include (but are not limited to), malaise, 
fever, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, dark urine, yellowing of the eyes or skin (jaundice).   
Liver function tests should be repeated regularly, such as every 3 days for the first week, then once a week until 
they return to near baseline values for the Subject. Manage the Subject symptomatically as required using 
medications that are not potentially hepatotoxic. Infection control issues must be carefully managed whilst TB 
medications are being withheld, especially if the Subject is still culture positive for acid fast bacilli. 
Restarting Medication 
If the Investigator (after consultation with the Sponsor Medical Monitor), stops administration of the study 
medication, consideration may be given to re-starting the study medication.  Once the liver function values have 
decreased substantially and symptoms have significantly improved, a decision must be made about further TB 
management.  This will be dependent on clinical context and the decision must be made in discussion with the 
Sponsor Medical Monitor. In all cases, treatment should be recommenced under close supervision for any 
evidence of recurrent liver function abnormalities.  
If there is a further significant elevation of hepatic enzymes or bilirubin or symptoms of clinical concern after 
resumption of study medication, the study medication should be withdrawn permanently. Subjects who 
permanently discontinue study medication should be managed as clinically indicated according to local National 
TB Programme guidelines. The Sponsor Medical Monitor can provide advice and examples of suitable treatment 
regimens to use if required.
