NCT ID: NCT05881447 Recruiting - Obesity Clinical Trials

Prevalence, Incidence and Risk Signature of Chronic Kidney Disease in Sub-Saharan Africa

RenalTWO
Start date: June 21, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The prevalence of CKD is increasing worldwide and is assumed to also dramatically increase in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Key shortcomings of available data on CKD in SSA are as follows: (i) Available data are based on single measurements and, therefore, cannot distinguish between harmless transient deterioration in kidney function and chronic kidney damage; (ii) Accurate information regarding renal protein loss, an important and early marker of kidney disease, is lacking; (iii) Cardiovascular risk factors for CKD, such as obesity, hypertension and diabetes, are often not searched for. Likewise non-classic potential risk factors, such as endemic infectious diseases, socioeconomic status and lifestyle have not been consistently recorded; (iv) Information to interrogate linked interaction over time between risk factors and development of CKD is unavailable. With this project, situated in a region representative of semi-rural SSA, we aim to fill this knowledge gap and (i) establish guideline conform prevalence data of CKD and its major cardiovascular risk factors, as well as (ii) prospectively define the incidence of cardiovascular- and non-classic risk factors of CKD. The data from (i) and (ii) is used to develop predictive models. A prospective cohort of 1200 individuals in a primary care facility will serve as study population. The population is representing a society in transition from rural to more urban lifestyle. In the pilot study, participants will be followed for one years and undergo the clinical and biomedical testing required to capture CKD and its classic and non-classic risk factors over time.

NCT ID: NCT05876884 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Neonatal Hypothermia

Efficacy of a Low-cost Warming Mattress Celsi Warmer for the Management of Hypothermic Newborns at Muhimbili National Hospital, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania

Start date: August 1, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The prevalence of hypothermia across low-resource settings is high, especially in countries with high neonatal mortality rates. If left untreated, hypothermia can additionally result in a significant comorbidity, and has been linked to a reduction in the effectiveness of treatment for other newborn conditions. Thermal care for hypothermic newborns is not widely available in low-resource settings due to cost, and lack of consumables and spare parts. In this study, the research team will evaluate the efficacy of a novel neonatal warming mattress intreating hypothermic newborns. The warming mattress, 'Celsi Warmer', has been developed by Rice360 Institute for Global Health Technologies, in conjunction with African clinicians, to be a robust, low-cost, and easy-to-use warming mattress which can address the challenges of hypothermia. This is a single-arm, non-randomized, prospective intervention study. Up to90eligible infants at Muhimbili National Hospital (MNH) at Upanga Neonatal Unit will be recruited to evaluate the efficacy of Celsi Warmer in rewarming hypothermic newborns. Infants temperature will be monitored during thermal intervention and the performance of the device will be evaluated. The temperatures of each infant will be compared before, during, and after the intervention.

NCT ID: NCT05807399 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Pulmonary Tuberculosis

PanACEA - STEP2C -01

Start date: April 14, 2023
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

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.

NCT ID: NCT05686356 Recruiting - Tuberculosis Clinical Trials

A Pan-TB Regimen Targeting Host and Microbe

panTB-HM
Start date: July 28, 2023
Phase: Phase 2/Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

This project will develop the first regimen meeting WHO criteria for a pan-TB indication, ie, not requiring knowledge of RIF susceptibility. The regimen will test sutezolid at 2 dose levels, with the approved anti-TB drugs bedaquiline and pretomanid, in a phase 2c trial. It will also test whether the addition of N-acetylcysteine (NAC), a re-purposed host-directed WHO essential medicine, can protect the lung and liver against oxidative damage, preserve lung function, and accelerate the eradication of MTB infection by replenishing glutathione (GSH).

NCT ID: NCT05598970 Recruiting - Parenting Clinical Trials

Family and Childhood Development: The Next Generation ('Kizazi Kijacho')

Start date: October 1, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Digital solutions can significantly improve the delivery of Early Childhood Development (ECD) services in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs). Traditional home-visits and community group-based parenting approaches require intense levels of training, mentoring and supervision of Community Health Workers (CHWs) that is difficult to sustain when transitioning to scale. Context relevant digital tools can support CHWs in delivering high-quality, respectful, and standardised multi-sectoral household ECD services by tailoring services to pregnant women and engaging male caregivers. This could have significant impacts on child development, including stimulation, speech and language development, nutrition, and cognition. Moreover, cash delivered through digital modes of payment is faster, safer, easier to administer, is scalable and has potential to empower women, influence parental investment and affect household decision making. The study will conduct a clustered multi-arm Randomised Controlled Trial (cRCT) targeting pregnant mothers across all 7 districts (and all 8 district councils) in the Dodoma region in Tanzania. Following the study sample for 15 months from 5-7 months pregnancy. The study will test and compare the causal effects of (i) a digitally supported Parenting Intervention delivered by CHWs, which aims to improve caregivers' access to quality ECD services; (ii) a mobile unconditional cash transfer which aims to relax financial resource constraints; and (iii) a digitally supported Parenting Intervention when combined with a mobile unconditional cash transfer. Findings from the study are expected to have important policy implications for the design of scalable ECD interventions targeting pregnant mothers in Tanzania and other LMIC settings.

NCT ID: NCT05586230 Recruiting - Tuberculosis Clinical Trials

Study of a Single Dose of Pretomanid Added to an Optimized Background Regimen in Children With Rifampicin-Resistant Tuberculosis

Start date: October 3, 2023
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, tolerability, and acceptability of a single dose of pretomanid, added to an optimized background tuberculosis treatment regimen (OBR), in children with rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis (RR-TB) with or without human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).

NCT ID: NCT05580666 Recruiting - Clinical trials for HIV Disease Progression

Reducing Mortality in Adults With Advanced HIV Disease (REVIVE)

NCT ID: NCT05575518 Recruiting - Tuberculosis Clinical Trials

A Pragmatic Trial With Optimized Dose of Rifampicin and Moxifloxacin for the Treatment of Drug Susceptible Pulmonary Tuberculosis

OptiRiMoxTB
Start date: August 11, 2023
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

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.

NCT ID: NCT05562609 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Postpartum Hemorrhage

Tranexamic Acid to Prevent Heavy Bleeding After Childbirth in Women at Higher Risk

I'M-WOMAN
Start date: April 22, 2024
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

Heavy bleeding after childbirth, known as a postpartum haemorrhage (PPH), causes about 70,000 maternal deaths every year. Tranexamic acid (TXA) is a lifesaving treatment for women with PPH. The I'M WOMAN trial is a research study to see whether giving TXA just before childbirth will stop women developing PPH. The trial will assess the effects of intramuscular (IM) and intravenous (IV) tranexamic acid on PPH, side effects and other important maternal health outcomes.
