A Phase 2a Study of the Early Bactericidal Activity of Rifampin (RIF) in Combination With Meropenem Plus Amoxicillin/Clavulanate Among Adults With Rifampin-resistant or Rifampin-susceptible Pulmonary Tuberculosis
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Rifampin, MEROPENEM 2 grams TID, and 4 other interventions for Tuberculosis, Pulmonary. Completed, enrolled 112 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The overall goal of this exploratory proof-of-concept study is to determine whether, in participants with pulmonary tuberculosis caused by M. tuberculosis (MTB) with or without rifampin resistance-conferring rpoB-gene mutations, the combination of meropenem and amoxicillin/clavulanate with rifampin has greater early bactericidal activity (EBA) than the combination of meropenem and amoxicillin/clavulanate without rifampin.
