Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Bactericidal Activity
Proportion of participants with sputum culture conversion SCC to negative for Mtb in MGIT liquid culture by Week 8 (Day 56, End of Treatment \[EOTx\]), defined as two consecutive Mtb-negative culture results, collected at least 1 day apart (i.e., not collected on the same day), occurring by Week 9 (Day 64) with no subsequent Mtb-positive cultures through Week 9 (Day 64)

Secondary outcomes
Bactericidal Activity
Time to Sputum culture conversion to negative of Mtb in MGIT sputum culture.
Bactericidal activity
Proportion of participants with Mtb-negative MGIT sputum culture(s) at Week 4 (Day 29) and Week 8 (Day 56, EOTx), where confirmation of negative sputum culture at subsequent study timepoint is not required.
Evaluate the PK of NAM when administered with BPaL in Group 1 and 2
Concentrations of NAM and its primary metabolite by measuring specific PK parameters at Day 1 and Day 14 (see protocol).
