Limitations and caveats
A study limitation is that placebos were not used, and therefore neither participants nor site staff were blinded to treatment assignment. Another limitation is that only 8% of participants were HIV-coinfected, limiting the power to compare regimens in this important population

To evaluate the efficacy of a rifapentine-containing regimen to determine whether the single substitution of rifapentine for rifampin makes it possible to reduce to seventeen weeks the duration of treatment for drug-susceptible pulmonary tuberculosis To evaluate the efficacy of a rifapentine-containing regimen that in addition substitutes moxifloxacin for ethambutol and continues moxifloxacin during the continuation phase, to determine whether it is possible to reduce to seventeen weeks the duration of treatment for drug-susceptible pulmonary tuberculosis A primary outcome status of "favorable", "unfavorable", or "not assessable" was assigned.

Analysis Population Description: This analysis population includes participants in EFV group 1 who were already on an EFV-containing ART regimen when initiating RPT-based TB treatment (experimental arms only). That is, this analysis was pre-specified to report data by pooling participants from Regimen 2 (2HPZE/2HP) and Regimen 3 (2HPMZ/2HPM) who were on an EFV-containing ART regimen.
