Primary | Rate of Change in Time to Sputum Culture Positivity (TTP) Over 8 Weeks in the Mycobacterial Growth Indicator Tube (MGIT) System | The bactericidal activity (BA) was determined by the rate of change in TTP collected from overnight sputum samples over 8 weeks of treatment in the liquid culture media MGIT system, represented by the model-fitted log(TTP) results as calculated by the regression of the observed log(TTP) results over time. The bactericidal activity of log(TTP) over Day 0 to Day 56 (BATTP[0-56]) was presented and expressed as the daily percentage change in TTP from Day 0 to Day 56. The mean BATTP (0-56) was calculated from Bayesian non-linear mixed effects regression models fitted to log(TTP) collected from sputum samples (observed from Day 0 to Day 56). | Day 0 to Day 56 (8 weeks) | |
Secondary | Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) | A TEAE was defined as any AE which started or worsened on or after first study drug administration up to and including the Day 70 follow-up visit (or up to and including 14 days after last study drug administration for participants not having Day 70 follow-up visit). Drug-related TEAEs were defined as TEAEs for which relationship to study drug was indicated as 'possible', 'probable', 'certain' or missing. TEAEs leading to death were defined as TEAEs resulted 'fatal' outcome. Serious TEAEs were defined as TEAEs for which serious was indicated as 'yes'. TEAEs leading to discontinuation of study drug were defined as TEAEs for which action taken with study drug was indicated as 'study drug stopped'. TEAEs leading to early withdrawal from study were defined as TEAEs resulted study discontinuation. Grade III and IV TEAEs were defined as TEAEs for which severity (DMID grade) was indicated as 'Grade 3 (severe)' and 'Grade 4 (potentially life-threatening)' or missing, respectively. | First study drug administration (Day 1) up to and including the Day 70 follow-up visit (or up to and including 14 days after last study drug administration for participants not having the Day 70 follow-up visit) (70 days) |
