Inclusion Criteria:
A patient will be eligible for entry to the study if he/she:
* Is willing and able to give informed consent to be enrolled in the trial treatment and follow-up (signed or witnessed consent if the patient is illiterate)
* Is aged 18 years or older
* Has bacteriologically-confirmed pulmonary tuberculosis by Xpert MTB/RIF, other nucleic acid amplification test, or culture
* With initial laboratory result of resistance to rifampicin by Xpert MTB/RIF or Xpert MTB/RIF ultra, or other DST (line probe assay, culture); and with initial laboratory result that is susceptible to isoniazid by Xpert MTB/RIF or other DST. If rifampicin resistance is detected by Xpert MTB/RIF or Xpert MTB/RIF ultra in specimens with very low bacillary, rifampicin resistance has been confirmed by a repeat molecular test.
* With initial laboratory result of being susceptible to rifampicin by Xpert MTB/RIF or other DST (Xpert MTB/RIF ultra, line probe assay, culture) but are not able to tolerate rifampicin for whom rifabutin is intolerable or clinically not indicated; and with initial laboratory result that is susceptible to isoniazid by Xpert MTB/RIF or other DST
* With initial laboratory result of being susceptible to rifampicin by Xpert MTB/RIF or other DST (Xpert MTB/RIF ultra, line probe assay, culture) but rifamycin-sparing regimens are preferred due to drug-drug interaction, such as organ transplant recipients; and with initial laboratory result that is susceptible to isoniazid by X…
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.
