Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to compare an optimized dose (1800 mg) of rifampicin to standard dose (450 mg if patient <50 kg and 600 mg if patient >50kg) of rifampicin in tuberculosis patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: - To compare the incidence of hepatotoxicity occurs in the optimized dose vs standard dose arm - To compare any adverse events occur in the optimized dose vs standard dose arm - To compare final treatment outcome at the end of treatment according to WHO definitions of cure in the optimized dose regimen versus the standard dose regimen. - To compare two and three months culture conversion rates in the optimized dose regimen versus the standard dose regimen. - To describe and compare the steady-state plasma pharmacokinetics of the optimized dose regimen versus the standard dose regimen. Participants will be given an optimized dose of 1800 mg of rifampicin daily. Researchers will compare the optimized and standard dose to see if more hepatotoxicity occurs.
A Phase 2, Single-Centre, Open-Label, Parallel Control Arm, Randomised Clinical Study to Evaluate the Early Bactericidal Activity (EBA), Safety and Tolerability of Nebulised RESP301 in Adults with Newly Diagnosed, Rifampicin Susceptible Pulmonary Tuberculosis
This multicenter, two-stage, open-label, randomized trial will aim to assess the efficacy, safety, optimal duration, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of Delamanid, Bedaquiline, OPC-167832, and Sutezolid (DBOS) and Pretomanid, Bedaquiline, OPC-167832, and Sutezolid (PBOS) in adult participants with drug sensitive tuberculosis (DS-TB) and rifampicin or multi-drug resistant TB (RR/MDR-TB).
This is a phase 2B, open label study, that will compare the safety and efficacy of three experimental regimens consisting of bedaquiline and delamanid in combination with different doses of BTZ-043, a novel antibiotic, in adult participants with newly diagnosed, drug-sensitive pulmonary tuberculosis. Participants will be assigned to receive either one of the three BTZ-043-containing regimens or a comparator regimen consisting of bedaquiline, delamanid and moxifloxacin. The objective is to find the optimal dose of BTZ-043 with the highest efficacy and safety to be used in subsequent studies.
This is a phase 2B/C, open label platform study that will compare the efficacy, safety of 3 experimental regimens with a standard control regimen in participants with newly diagnosed, drug sensitive pulmonary tuberculosis. In stage 1, participants will be randomly allocated to the control or one of the 2 rifampicin-containing experimental regimens in the ratio 1:1:1. In stage 2, the experimental arm 4 containing BTZ-043 will be added. The allocation ratio will be changed to co-enrol the remaining participants in arms 1- 3 simultaneously with arm 4. When arms 1-2 are fully enrolled and arm 4 is not, further participants will be randomized 1:1 to control and experimental arm 4. Not all countries will participate in stage 2.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether one or two 17-week regimens of tuberculosis treatment bedaquiline (B or BDQ), moxifloxacin (M), pyrazinamide (Z)-- (BMZ) plus either Rifabutin (Rb) or Delamanid (D or DLM) are as effective as a standard six-month regimen for treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis (TB). All three regimens are administered daily, seven days each week. The first 17-week regimen is 2 months of bedaquiline (B or BDQ), moxifloxacin (M), pyrazinamide (Z), (BMZ) plus rifabutin (Rb) (BMZRB) followed by 2 months of bedaquiline (B or BDQ), moxifloxacin (M) and Rifabutin (Rb) (2 BMZRb/2 BMRb, Arm 1) The Second 17-week regimen is 2 months of bedaquiline (B or BDQ), moxifloxacin (M), pyrazinamide (Z), (BMZ) plus delamanid (D or DLM); (BMZD) followed by 2 months of bedaquiline (B or BDQ), moxifloxacin (M) and delamanid (D or DLM) (2 BMZD/2 BMD, Arm 2) The standard 26-week treatment control regimen which is two months of isoniazid, rifampin, ethambutol, and pyrazinamide (2HRZE) followed by four months of isoniazid and rifampin (4HR); (2HRZE/4HR, Arm 3) Target enrollment is 288 male and female participants (96/arm). participants. Participants will be followed until 78 weeks post-randomization, or until the last enrolled participant completes 52 weeks post-randomization, whichever comes first.
This study is a cross-sectional study that examines the prevalence of Latent Tuberculosis Infection [LTBI], defined as individuals infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis with no clinical evidence of disease, and the possible risk factors of LTBI in a large cohort of health care workers (HCWs) and students.
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to study the early bactericidal activity in adult patients with smear-positive pulmonary tuberculosis. The main question it aims to answer are if cephalexin, in combination with amoxicillin-clavulanate, is effective in the treatment of tuberculosis. Participants with smear-positive tuberculosis will be randomized to either of two groups: Intervention group: cephalexin and amoxicillin-clavulanate. Control group: Standard of care TB treatment. The study period is 2 weeks and participants will be asked to submit multiple sputum samples to measure the bacterial sputum load. They will also submit saliva samples for estimation of drug concentrations in the body. Researchers will compare the intervention group with the control group to see if the trial drugs result in a reduced bacterial sputum load Overall aim: To study the early bactericidal activity of cephalexin, in combination with amoxicillin-clavulanate, in comparison to standard treatment in patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis during the first 2 weeks of treatment. Primary aim: 1. To evaluate the early bactericidal activity (measured as 'time to culture positivity') of cephalexin-clavulanate in comparison, to standard TB treatment (rifampicin, isoniazid, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol). Secondary aim: 2. To asses safety and tolerability of cephalexin together with amoxicillin-clavulanate. 3. To determine key pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters of cephalexin, especially half-life and drug exposure (maximal concentration; Cmax and area under the concentration versus time curve, AUC).
Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major global public health problem, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) in Africa, Asia, and Eastern Europe. Approximately 10 million people fall sick with TB, causing up to 2 million deaths, worldwide per year. Considerable progress was made in TB control from 1990-2015, motivating the World Health Organization (WHO) to launch an ambitious EndTB strategy. However, the effect of the ongoing Coronavirus Disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic has been devastating and the last two years have seen the first year-on-year increases (of 5.6%) in TB mortality since 2005 . In order to regain lost ground, and re-establish progress towards elimination of TB, innovation is needed in all aspects of TB control, including development of shorter treatment regimens for drug susceptible (DS) and multi-drug resistant / rifampicin resistant (MDR/RR) forms of the disease. This protocol seeks to conduct the TB clinical trial combining the 8-methoxyfluroquinolone and optimised dose of rifamycing to address two questions. The first is to confirm the non-inferiority of a four-month optimised dose rifamycin and moxifloxacin-based regimen amongst African TB patient populations with high rates of co-incident HIV. Secondly, we seek to establish that the rifamycin of choice in potent 4-month anti-TB treatments could be rifampicin as this will be more rapidly up-scalable for public health impact.
The PRESCIENT trial is a Phase IIc, open-label, randomized trial that will compare a 12-week regimen of bedaquiline (BDQ), clofazimine (CFZ), pyrazinamide (PZA), and delamanid (DLM) with standard treatment for drug-susceptible pulmonary tuberculosis. Eligible participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to BDQ, CFZ, PZA, and DLM (BCZD) or standard anti-TB therapy. Participants in the experimental arm with evidence of poor clinical response at the end of therapy will be re-treated with standard TB therapy. The primary analysis is a superiority efficacy comparison of time to liquid culture conversion through 8 weeks in the experimental (BCZD) arm vs. the standard therapy arm. The other key secondary outcome is safety.
