BACKGROUND: Linezolid is a key component globally in first-line therapy for drug-resistant tuberculosis but has considerable toxicity. New and safer alternative oxazolidinones are needed. Sutezolid is one such promising alternative. We aimed to evaluate preliminary efficacy and safety of sutezolid and to identify an optimal dose. METHODS: PanACEA-SUDOCU-01 was a prospective, open-label, randomised, phase 2b dose-finding study in four tuberculosis trial sites in Tanzania and South Africa. Adults aged 18-65 years with newly diagnosed, drug-sensitive, smear-positive tuberculosis were enrolled and randomly assigned (1:1:1:1:1) by a probabilistic minimisation algorithm using a web-based interface, stratified by site, sex, and HIV status, to receive no sutezolid (U0), sutezolid 600 mg once daily (U600), sutezolid 1200 mg once daily (U1200), sutezolid 600 mg twice daily (U600BD), or sutezolid 800 mg twice daily (U800BD), all administered orally for 12 weeks followed by standard therapy for 6 months. All participants received oral bedaquiline (400 mg once daily for 14 days followed by 200 mg thrice weekly), oral delamanid (100 mg twice daily), and oral moxifloxacin (400 mg once daily). For the primary endpoint, measured in the modified intention-to-treat population, sputum samples were taken weekly to measure the change in bacterial load measured by time to positivity using the mycobacterial growth indicator tube system. Safety was assessed through weekly electrocardiography, safety blood tests, vision testing, and physical and neurological examinations. Intensive pharmacokinetic measurements were done on day 14 to determine exposure to sutezolid, bedaquiline, delamanid, and moxifloxacin. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03959566). FINDINGS: Between May 20, 2021, and Feb 17, 2022, 186 individuals were screened for eligibility, 75 of whom were enrolled and randomly assigned to U0 (n=16), U600 (n=15), U1200 (n=14), U600BD (n=15), or U800BD (n=15). 56 (75%) participants were male and 19 (25%) were female. The final pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic model showed a benefit of sutezolid, with an increase in time to positivity slope steepness of 16·7% (95% CI 0·7-35·0) at the maximum concentration typical for the 1200 mg dose, compared with no sutezolid exposure. A maximum effect of sutezolid exposure was not observed within the investigated dose range. Six (8%) participants (one in the U600 group, two in the U600BD group, one in the U800BD group, and two retrospectively identified in the U600 group) had an increase in a QT interval using Fridericia correction greater than 60 ms from baseline. Two (3%) participants in the U600BD group had grade 4 adverse events, one each of neutropenia and hepatotoxicity, but they were not deemed associated with the use of sutezolid by the investigators. No neuropathy was reported. INTERPRETATION: Sutezolid, combined with bedaquiline, delamanid, and moxifloxacin, was shown to be efficacious and added activity to the background drug combination, although we cannot make a final dose recommendation yet. This study provides valuable information for the selection of sutezolid doses for future studies, and described no oxazolidinone class toxicities at the doses used.
