NCT00449644

Brief Summary

The objective of this study is to demonstrate that the antibacterial activity of TMC207 is better than placebo when added to a standardized Background Regimen (BR) for treatment of multi-drug resistant TB. Also safety and tolerability will be evaluated.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • The Time to Sputum Culture Conversion at Week 8 (Stage 1)

    The table below shows the time to sputum culture conversion. Sputum culture conversion is defined as as having 2 consecutive negative cultures at least 25 days apart, not followed by a confirmed positive during the considered time period. Participants who discontinue or die during the considered time period are considered as non-responders and censored at their last assessment.

    Week 8, Stage 1

  • The Time to Sputum Culture Conversion at Week 24 (Stage 2)

    The table below shows the time to sputum culture conversion. Sputum culture conversion is defined as as having 2 consecutive negative cultures at least 25 days apart, not followed by a confirmed positive during the considered time period. Participants who discontinue or die during the considered time period are considered as non-responders and censored at their last assessment.

    Week 24, Stage 2
