The Nix-TB clinical trial evaluated a new 6 month regimen containing three oral drugs; bedaquiline (B), pretomanid (Pa), and linezolid (L) (BPaL regimen) for the treatment of tuberculosis (TB). This achieved remarkable results as almost 90% multidrug-resistant or extensively drug-resistant TB participants were cured but many patients also developed severe adverse events (AEs). AEs associated with long-term administration protein synthesis inhibitor linezolid. Spectinamide 1599 is...
