E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
• To evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of delamanid and its metabolites in combination with an OBR during a 6-
month treatment period in pediatric patients with MDR-TB for the age-specific delamanid doses determined in Trial 232
• To report delamanid and metabolite plasma concentrations at each visit day by age groups and to conduct a population pharmacokinetics (POPPK) analysis of delamanid when delamanid is administered in combination with an OBR during a 6-month treatment period in pediatric patients with MDR TB.
|
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
• To evaluate the PK/PD relationship of delamanid and its
metabolite DM-6705 plasma concentrations and change in QTc
when delamanid is administered in combination with OBR
during a 6 month treatment period in pediatric patients with
MDR-TB
• To evaluate the efficacy of delamanid when administered in
combination with an OBR during a 6 month treatment period in
pediatric patients with MDR-TB
• To determine the palatability of the delamanid pediatric
formulation.

E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
Key Inclusion Criteria:
Successfully completed Trial 232
Male or female
Age birth to 17 years, inclusive
Confirmed diagnosis of MDR-TB, ie, culture positive

and rifampicin resistance on drug-susceptibility testing,
or a positive rapid test demonstrating resistance to
rifampicin alone or to rifampicin and isoniazid
OR
Presumptive diagnosis of pulmonary or extrapulmonary
MDR-TB such that the treating physician has decided to
treat for MDR-TB the patient who has one of the
following:
Clinical specimen (eg, cerebral spinal fluid, pleural
fluid, ascitic fluid, lymph node aspirate, or other tissue
specimen) suggestive of tuberculosis (TB) disease
Persistent cough lasting > 2 weeks
Fever, weight loss, and failure to thrive

or a person who died while appropriately taking drugs
for drug-sensitive TB
OR

improvement
Negative urine pregnancy test for female patients who
have reached menarche
Study-specific written informed consent/assent
obtained from a parent(s) or guardian or legally
acceptable representative, as applicable for local laws
prior to the initiation of any protocol-required
procedures. In addition, for patients in Groups 1 and 2
and as required by local laws, the patient must provide
informed assent at screening and must be able to fully
understand that he or she can withdraw from the study
at any time.
