Filter by:A5409/RAD-TB is an adaptive Phase 2 randomized, controlled, open-label, dose-ranging, platform protocol to evaluate the safety and efficacy of multidrug regimens for the treatment of adults with drug-susceptible pulmonary tuberculosis (TB). A5409 hypothesizes that novel regimens for the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis will result in superior early efficacy, as determined by longitudinal mycobacteria growth indicator tube (MGIT) liquid culture time to positivity (TTP) measurements over the first 6 weeks of treatment, and will have acceptable safety and tolerability over 8 weeks of treatment relative to standard of care [(SOC) isoniazid/rifampicin/pyrazinamide/ethambutol (HRZE)]. The study will run for 52 weeks, inclusive of 26 weeks of TB treatment comprised of 8 weeks of experimental or SOC treatment (based on treatment arm assignment) followed by 18 weeks of SOC treatment with 45 participants in each experimental treatment arm and at least 90 participants in the SOC arm.
This trial aims to determine whether the addition of rosuvastatin to standard TB therapy in pulmonary tuberculosis results in accelerated of sputum culture conversion. The trial will also investigate potential new biomarkers of sterilising activity and immune-modulatory activity.
This study aims to find an optimized initial regimen for pulmonary tuberculosis(PTB), evaluating the efficacy, safety and acceptability of isoniazid, rifampicin and moxifloxacin(HRM) for the intensive phase of initial therapy of PTB, compared with the standard initial regimen.
The objective of the investigator's study is to detect the characteristics, pattern and outcome of pulmonary tuberculosis patients treated at Assiut University Hospital by collecting their demographic, clinical, laboratory and radiological data.
Pakistan ranks fifth amongst high tuberculosis-(TB) burden countries, where TB persists as a major cause of misery and death. The Diabetes Mellitus-(DM) is also on rise in Pakistan and people suffering from DM are more prone to catch TB as compared to healthy individuals. This concurrence of two outbreaks may further increase the frequency of TB in Pakistan. The TB DM co-occurrence results in various clinical issues as TB in DM patient increases blood glucose, making DM more difficult to treat, while DM raises the risk of treatment failure, relapse and death among TB patients. In addition, both DM and TB usually coexist with micronutrients deficiencies like vitamin D, which has a vital role in immunity, insulin functioning and respiratory health. It has been suggested that the combined supplementation with vitamin D and calcium might be beneficial in improving the glucose metabolism but the current knowledge is very limited. In a resource restrained country with double burden of infectious and non-infectious diseases, an integrated approach with modification of treatment options may benefit in management of these outbreaks. Therefore, this study aims whether vitamin D and calcium supplementation could influence the recovery in patients with TB of lung and DM.
