Comparison of 68Ga-AlfatideII and 18F-FDG in differential diagnosis effectiveness towards the solitary pulmonary nodules of lung cancer or tuberculosis.
Assess the Efficacy of HUEXC030 as Add-on Excipient to Eradicate Anti-Tuberculosis Drugs Induced Hepatic Injury ( ATDH ) in Subjects with Pulmonary Tuberculosis
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of ID93 + GLA-SE vaccine when administered to adult pulmonary Tuberculosis (TB) patients, following successful completion of TB treatment with confirmed bacteriologic cure, in preparation for a future Phase 2b prevention of TB recurrence trial in the same population.
Tuberculosis (TB) is the second largest infectious disease that causes death in the last 4 centuries in all the world. Observational studies found an association between vitaminD and TB, suggesting a potential therapeutic role of vitaminD supplementation in patients with active tuberculosis. The hypothesis is that the administration of vitaminD is associated with changes in the levels of cytokines in patients with tuberculosis treated with first-line drugs. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of vitaminD supplementation on the clinical course, the time of negative smears and cultures, and the effect on the immune response in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis (TBP).
The diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB) and especially the detection of drug resistance of tuberculosis mycobacteria can be time consuming and costly. New and rapid diagnostic tests are needed to improve early case detection and correct initiation of treatment. In the planned cross-sectional diagnostic evaluation study the investigators are aiming for the assessment of several new TB diagnostics (e.g. new AID strip assays and TrDNA assay in urine) in TB suspects who are presenting themselves to the pulmonary ambulance (TB dispensary for sector 4) at the Marius Nasta Institute (MNI). The study will be conducted in a co-operation between the MNI and the German Center for Infection Research (DZIF).
This trial aims to determine whether the early bactericidal activity of rifampicin given with faropenem or cefadroxil (each given with amoxicillin/clavulanic acid) is greater than the activity of rifampicin alone in patients with pulmonary TB. The trial will also investigate potential new biomarkers of sterilising activity.
Background: - Tuberculosis (TB) is a lung infection caused by bacteria. When people with TB cough, they may spread these bacteria. Researchers are looking for new TB medicines. They want to find a faster way to tell if a drug might combat TB. Objective: - To learn the effect of different anti-TB drugs on microbiological, radiographic and immunologic markers in people with TB. Eligibility: - Adults age 18-65 who weigh 30-90 kg and have common TB bacteria that can be treated with common TB medicines. Design: - Participants will be admitted to the hospital for screening. They will have medical history, physical exam, and chest radiograph. They will give blood, urine, and sputum samples. - Participants will be put in 1 of 8 groups. - Participants will get one or a combination of TB medicines daily for about 14 days. - Each day, participants: - Will discuss side effects. - May have a physical exam. - Will spit mucus into a cup. They may breathe in saline water through a nebulizer to make them cough. - Participants will have blood taken 3-4 times during the study - Participants will have 2-3 Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (FDG-PET/CT) scans. FDG is a radioactive sugar molecule which helps measure TB disease in the lungs. It will be injected into a vein. Participants will lie in a scanner that takes pictures. - Around study day 14, participants will leave the hospital. They will be referred to a local TB clinic. There they will get the standard 4 TB medicines. Those in group 8 will already be on these medicines and will have another FDG-PET/CT on day 28. - Participants will be in the study for up to 28 days.
To evaluate the early bactericidal activity (EBA), safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of meropenem administered intravenously three times a day, plus amoxycillin/CA administered orally three times a day; and of faropenem administered orally three times a day, plus amoxycillin/CA administered orally three times a day; for 14 consecutive days, in adult participants with newly diagnosed, smear positive pulmonary tuberculosis, in order to help establish proof-of-concept for carbapenem antibiotics as antituberculosis agents and to select the appropriate agent and route of administration for later stage clinical development.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of a combination of moxifloxacin, PA-824, and pyrazinamide treatments with varying doses and treatment lengths from 4 to 6 months in subjects with drug-sensitive (DS) pulmonary TB compared to standard HRZE treatment. This study will also assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of a combination of moxifloxacin, PA-824, and pyrazinamide treatments after 6 months of treatment in subjects with multi drug-resistant (MDR) pulmonary TB compared to a combination of moxifloxacin, PA-824, and pyrazinamide treatments in DS-TB subjects.
