The European Union has introduced stricter provisions for medical devices under the new Medical Device Regulation (MDR). The MDR increases requirements for clinical trial testing for many devices before they can legally be placed on the market and extends requirements for rigorous clinical surveillance of benefits and harms to the entire life cycle of devices.

Randomized, controlled, noninferiority trial (TRUNCATE-TB [Two-Month Regimens Using Novel Combinations to Augment Treatment Effectiveness for Drug-Sensitive Tuberculosis] trial). The trial originally included 5 groups but stopped enrollment early in 2 groups to ensure that sample size requirements would be met for the other 3 groups. Analyses of the 3 remaining groups are reported in this abstract.
