1.3.2 To compare MGIT liquid culture TTP slope over the first 8 weeks of treatment for each experimental treatment arm to the SOC arm.

1.3.3 To compare new Grade 3 or higher AEs (safety) over 26 weeks of treatment for each experimental treatment arm to the SOC arm.

1.3.4 To compare discontinuations of anti-TB drugs for any reason prior to 8 and 26 weeks of treatment for each experimental treatment arm to the SOC arm.

1.3.5 To determine the dose- and exposure-response relationships between experimental drug estimated pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters with safety and efficacy.

1.3.6 To compare a composite of efficacy and safety outcomes using a risk-benefit approach for each experimental treatment arm to the SOC arm.

1.3.7 To compare MGIT liquid culture TTP slope over the first 6 weeks of treatment for Arms 3A-3B and Arms 4A-4B compared to Arm 2.

1.3.8 To compare durable cure by 52 weeks after treatment initiation in each experimental treatment arm to the SOC arm.
