About this trial

This is a prospective, adaptive, randomized controlled trial comparing the effectiveness of 4 intervention arms on a combined endpoint in adults with confirmed MDR-TB HIV initiating Bedaquiline-containing MDR-TB treatment regimens and on ART (integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI)-based fixed dose combination therapy) in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Interventions arms include: enhanced standard of care; psychosocial support; mHealth using cellular-enabled electronic dose monitoring; combined mHealth psychosocial support. Level of support will be adjusted using a differentiated service delivery (DSD)- informed assessment of treatment support needs.
