Early Bactericidal Activity Safety Pulmonary Tuberculosis Pyrifazimine (TBI-166)

• Status: Active, not recruiting
• Trial end date: 2021-12-31
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

The new drug pyrifazimine (previous name: TBI-166) developed by the Institute of Materia Medica of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences which is Beijing Union Pharmaceutical Second Factory relied on is obtained by retaining the key skeleton of the lead drug clofazimine which can exert its efficacy and modification by introducing moderate polar groups structural. While the drug has strong activity against tuberculosis-sensitive bacteria and drug-resistant bacteria in vivo and in vitro, its pharmacokinetic properties and skin staining side effects have been significantly improved compared with the lead drugs, so that the drug can achieve the goal that reducing fat solubility, accelerating metabolism in the body, reducing skin staining and reducing side effects. In addition, pyrifazimine has a weak effect on liver drug enzymes, and is suitable for combined use in the clinical treatment of tuberculosis. The development of the drug is expected to provide a new method for the clinical treatment of drug-resistant tuberculosis, benefit patients, and produce good social benefits.

In November 2016, the new anti-drug-resistant tuberculosis drug pyrifazimine and its tablets (formerly chemical drug registration classification 1.1) obtained the drug clinical approval issued by the CFDA (batch number: 2016L10025/2016L09987), and were approved the clinical stage research that development of drug-resistant tuberculosis adaptation.

In accordance with relevant requirements of drug registration regulations, technical guidelines, etc., this project has completed the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic clinical trials of a single dose of pyrifazimine tablets in healthy subjects, i.e. Phase Ia clinical trials test.
