  Purpose

This is a phase II, randomized, placebo-controlled trial, aimed to seek the therapeutic benefit of V7 in combination with standard of care anti-Tuberculosis (TB) therapy (ATT) among Mycobacterium tuberculosis-infected sputum smear positive subjects. The results will be compared to placebo combined with standard ATT therapy. The trial will consist of one stage with sputum evaluation at months 1 and 2.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • sputum conversion [ Time Frame: 2 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    To compare the efficacy of combination of V7 with anti-TB treatment versus anti-TB treatment+placebo in adults with pulmonary tuberculosis including:


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • safety [ Time Frame: 1 and 2 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    1. Liver functions tests (AST and ALT, and bilirubin) as main biochemical tests
    2. To confirm quality of life improvement by specially designed questionnaire TB score
    3. The beneficial effect on TB-associated wasting by measuring body weight.
