Page 3 Workshop, Arlington VA, Oct 4,2012 The REMoxTB – Study: Rapid Evaluation of Moxifloxacin in TB Overall Goal: Demonstrate that Moxifloxacin can shorten treatment duration to 3-4 months with optimized combination regime – uses non-inferiority hypothesis Treatment regimens: 3 arm study, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, Standard regimen: 2 mo EHRZ /4 mo HR Moxi to replace Ethambutol: 2 mo MHRZ / 2 mo HRM / 2 mo plac. Moxi to replace Isoniazid: 2 mo EMRZ / 2 mo MR / 2 mo plac Current Status: Total no. of patients enrolled: 1931 First patient in: Q – Last patient in: Febr. 21, 2012 Last patient last treatment day: Aug 21, 2012 Expect topline results: Dec First regulatory submission planned for 2014
CPTR: 1 st Novel Combination Regimen Pa-M-Z Topline results Trial NC001 e-published in Lancet July 23 rd, 2012 * First clinical study under the CPTR novel combinations development paradigm (“test more than one novel compound at a time”) 14d EBA study Phase IIa clinical proof-of-concept Moxifloxacin plus PA824 plus Pyrazinamide Study also evaluated Bedaquiline (TMC207) alone and in combinations with PA824 and with Pyrazinamide Main results for Moxi containing arm: EBA 0 – 2 days: log 10 /cfu/d EBA days: log 10 /cfu/d Active control arm HRZE: EBA 0-2 days: log 10 /cfu/d EBA days: log 10 /cfu/d Pa-Z arm (without Moxi) EBA 0 – 2 days: log 10 /cfu/d EBA 0 – 14 days: log 10 /cfu/d * Diacon et al: The Lancet, published online July 23, Page 4 Workshop, Arlington VA, Oct 4,2012
