This is a phase 2B, open label study, that will compare the safety and efficacy of three experimental regimens consisting of bedaquiline and delamanid in combination with different doses of BTZ-043, a novel antibiotic, in adult participants with newly diagnosed, drug-sensitive pulmonary tuberculosis. Participants will be assigned to receive either one of the three BTZ-043-containing regimens or a comparator regimen consisting of bedaquiline, delamanid and moxifloxacin. The objective is to find the optimal dose of BTZ-043 with the highest efficacy and safety to be used in subsequent studies.
