  • Data are presented as n (%; 95% CI). MDR: multidrug-resistant; TB: tuberculosis; XDR: extensively drug-resistant. #: 192 patients received delamanid (100 mg and/or 200 mg twice a day) for at least 6 months; : 229 patients received delamanid (100 mg or 200 mg twice a day) or placebo for 2 months; +: n=421; §: differences between the long-term and the short-term treatment groups for the corresponding treatment outcome were statistically significant (p<0.001), all other differences did not reach statistical significance (p≥0.05).
