Table 2.
Bactericidal activity among patients with drug-susceptible tuberculosis over days 0–56 in the efficacy analysis population
BloadPaZ group (n=57) | B200PaZ group (n=56) | HRZE group (n=59) | |
---|---|---|---|
Daily percentage change in time to positive signal | 4·87% (4·31–5·47) | 5·17% (4·61–5·77) | 4·04% (3·67–4·42) |
Daily change in log(CFU) of overnight sputum samples | 0·12 (0·11–0·14) | 0·11 (0·10–0·12) | 0·12 (0·11–0·13) |
Data are posterior mean estimate (95% Bayesian credibility interval). The differences between the pairs of treatments BloadPaZ versus HRZE and B200PaZ versus HRZE were significant. BloadPaZ=bedaquiline (loading dose), pretomanid, and pyrazinamide. B200PaZ=bedaquiline (daily dose), pretomanid, and pyrazinamide. CFU=colony-forming unit. HRZE=isoniazid, rifampicin, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol.
