ExclusionCriteria 
Details  A patient will not be eligible for randomization if s/he:
1. Has known allergies or hypersensitivity to any of the investigational drugs;
2. Is known to be pregnant or is unwilling or unable to stop breast-feeding an infant;
3. Is unable to comply with treatment or follow-up schedule;
4. Has any condition (social or medical) which, in the opinion of the site principal investigator, would make study participant unsafe;
5. a. Has had exposure (intake of the drug for 30 days or more) in the past five years to bedaquiline, delamanid, linezolid, or clofazimine, or has proven or likely resistance to bedaquiline, delamanid, linezolid, or clofazimine (e.g., household contact of a DR-TB index case who died or experienced treatment failure after treatment containing bedaquiline, delamanid, linezolid, or clofazimine or had resistance to one of the listed drugs); exposure to other anti-TB drugs is not a reason for exclusion.b. Has received second-line drugs for 15 days or more prior to screening visit date in the current MDR/RR-TB treatment episode. Exceptions include: (1) patients whose treatment has failed according to the WHO definition151 and who are being considered for a new treatment regimen; (2) patients starting a new treatment regimen after having been “lost to follow-up” according to the WHO definition149 and, (3) patients in whom treatment failure is suspected (but not confirmed according to WHO definition), who are being considered for a new treatment regimen, and for whom the Clinical Advisory Committee (CAC) consultation establishes eligibility.
6. Has one or more of the following:
Hemoglobin treater than equal to 7.9 g/dL;
Uncorrectable electrolytes disorders:
Total Calcium < 7.0 mg/dL (1.75 mmol/L);
Potassium < 3.0 mEq/L (3.0 mmol/L) or more than or equal to 6.0 mEq/L (6.0 mmol/L);
Magnesium < 0.9 mEq/L (0.45 mmol/L);
Serum creatinine > 3 x ULN;
Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) or Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) more than/equal to 3 x ULN;
Total bilirubin 3 x ULN;
Albumin < 2.8 g/dL;
Unless otherwise specified, Grade 4 result as defined by the MSF Severity Scale (Appendix 2) on any of the screening laboratory tests.
7. Has cardiac risk factors defined as:
An arithmetic average of the two ECGs with highest QTcF intervals of greater than or equal to 450 ms. Retesting to reassess eligibility will be allowed using an unscheduled visit during the screening phase;
Evidence of ventricular pre-excitation (e.g., Wolff Parkinson White syndrome);
Electrocardiographic evidence of either:
Complete left bundle branch block or right bundle branch block; OR
Incomplete left bundle branch block or right bundle branch block and QRS complex duration > 120 msec on at least one ECG;
Having a pacemaker implant;
Congestive heart failure;
Evidence of second- or third-degree heart block;
Bradycardia as defined by sinus rate less than 50 bpm;
Personal or family history of Long QT Syndrome;
Personal history of arrhythmic cardiac disease, with the exception of sinus arrhythmia;
Personal history of syncope (i.e. cardiac syncope not including syncope due to vasovagal or epileptic causes).
8. Is currently taking part in another trial of a medicinal product;
9. Is taking any medication that is contraindicated with the medicines in the trial regimen which cannot be stopped (with or without replacement) or requires a wash-out period longer than 2 weeks

Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
The primary efficacy outcome is the proportion of participants with favorable outcome at week 73. A favorable outcome will be defined based on the presence of negative culture results at weeks 65 and 73 and based on the bacteriological, radiological and clinical evolution.  week 73 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
Efficacy: Proportion of participants with favorable outcome at week 39 and 104. A favorable outcome will be defined based on the presence of negative culture results at weeks 36 and 39 and weeks 97 and 104 and based on the bacteriological, radiological and clinical evolution.
Safety: Proportion of patients:
who died for any cause;
with grade 3 or greater AEs and serious adverse events of any grade by 73 and 104 weeks;
with Adverse Events of Special Interest by 73 and 104 weeks. 
Week 39, week 73 and week 104

Brief Summary
Modification(s)  
endTB trial is randomized, controlled, open-label, Phase III clinical trials conducted in a highly heterogeneous patient population (including participants from sites in four continents, with different prevalence of HIV and other co-morbidities) and will result in high-quality evidence that will be generalizable and transformative for the global policies of MDR-TB management.The experimental regimens mainly rely on newly approved or repurposed drugs and avoid drugs to which high rates of resistance have been reported in MDR-TB patient populations.
endTB is a randomized clinical trial that evaluates five all-oral 9 months regimens for FQ-susceptible MDR-TB (endTB regimens 1-5) in comparison to the current 18-20 month standard of care (control). The sample size needed is of 750 participants. Randomization is adapted based on early treatment outcomes using a Bayesian approach.Trial will be conducted at two sites in India  and planned to be initiated in June/July 2020.
