Inclusion criteria
. Provide written, informed consent prior to all trial-related procedures including HIV testing.
. Male or female, aged between 18 and 65 years, inclusive.
. Body weight between 40 and 90 kg, inclusive.
. Newly diagnosed, previously untreated, drug susceptible pulmonary TB: presence of MTB complex and rapid molecular tests result confirming susceptibility to RIF and INH such as GeneXpert and/or HAIN MTBDR plus.
. A chest X-ray (no older than 2 weeks) which, in the opinion of the Investigator, is consistent with TB.
. Sputum positive on microscopy from concentrated sputum for acid-fast bacilli on at least one sputum sample (at least 1+ on the IUATLD/WHO scale).
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.

. The participant is willing to forgo consumption of foods high in tyramine for the period of taking study medication (See Appendix, section 20.2, page 92).
. The participant is either unable to conceive/father children AND/OR his/her partner is unable to conceive/father children AND/OR they will consent to be using effective methods of contraception when engaging in heterosexual intercourse, as defined below:
Exclusion criteria
. Circumstances that raise doubt about free, unconstrained consent to study participation (e.g. prisoner or mentally handicapped person)
. Poor general condition where delay in treatment cannot be tolerated or death within four months is likely.
. Poor social condition which would make it unlikely that the patient would be able to complete follow-up
. The patient is pregnant or breast-feeding.
. The patient is infected with HIV with a CD4 count \<220 cells/mm3. If \>220 cells/mm3, patients will be included only if any of the following is applicable:
. The patient has a known intolerance to any of the study drugs or concomitant disorders or conditions for which study drugs or standard TB treatment are contraindicated
. The patient has a history of, or current evidence of clinically relevant cardiovascular metabolic, gastrointestinal, neurological, psychiatric or endocrine diseases, malignancy, or any other condition that will influence treatment response, study adherence or survival in the judgement of the investigator, especially:
. Neuropathy, or significant psychiatric disorder like depression or schizophrenia; especially if treatment for those has ever been required or is anticipated to be required
