Background: The bedaquiline-pretomanid-linezolid regimen has been reported to have 90% efficacy against highly drug-resistant tuberculosis, but the incidence of adverse events with 1200 mg of linezolid daily has been high. The appropriate dose of linezolid and duration of treatment with this agent to minimize toxic effects while maintaining efficacy against highly drug-resistant tuberculosis are unclear.

Methods: We enrolled participants with extensively drug-resistant (XDR) tuberculosis (i.

Pretomanid (Pa) is a nitroimidazole-class drug recently approved by the US Food and Drug Administration and other regulatory authorities as part of a regimen for treating highly drug-resistant pulmonary infections. Studies in rodents identified the testis as a target organ of concern, which led to monitoring of reproductive hormones in >800 male patients enrolled in four clinical trials of Pa-containing regimens and the HRZE (isoniazid+rifampin+pyrazinamide+ethambutol) control regimen. Serum hormone levels relevant to male reproductive health - follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), inhibin B (InhB) and total testosterone (T) - from the four clinical trials were summarized numerically and analyzed by repeated-measures modeling.

The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the safety and tolerability of single oral doses of sutezolid tablets administered under fasting conditions in healthy adult subjects. The secondary objective was to determine the pharmacokinetics (PK) of sutezolid and two metabolites, PNU-101603 and PNU-101244. Overall, sutezolid was well tolerated when administered as a 300-mg, 600-mg, 1,200-mg, or 1,800-mg dose in healthy adult subjects under fasting conditions.
