TBI-223, a novel oxazolidinone for tuberculosis, is designed to provide improved efficacy and safety compared to linezolid in combination with bedaquiline and pretomanid (BPaL). We aim to optimize the dosing of TBI-223 within the BPaL regimen for enhanced therapeutic outcomes. TBI-223 is investigated in preclinical monotherapy, multidrug therapy, and lesion penetration experiments to describe its efficacy and safety versus linezolid. A translational platform incorporating linezolid and BPaL data from preclinical experiments and 4 clinical trials (NCT00396084, NCT02333799, NCT03086486, NCT00816426) is developed, enabling validation of the framework. TBI-223 preclinical and Phase 1 data (NCT03758612) are applied to the translational framework to predict clinical outcomes and optimize TBI-223 dosing in combination with bedaquiline and pretomanid. Results indicate that daily doses of 1200-2400 mg TBI-223 may achieve efficacy comparable to the BPaL regimen, with >90% of patients predicted to reach culture conversion by two months.
