Clinical Trial Summary

The primary aim of this pragmatic trial is to determine the effectiveness of a Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) Drug Sensitivity Testing (DST) strategy to guide individualised treatment of rifampicin resistant tuberculosis (RR-TB) patients. The primary objective is to determine the effectiveness of this WGS DST strategy in patients diagnosed with RR-TB. We will additionally perform an exploratory health economics evaluation of both arms, and will determine the feasibility of the WGS DST strategy.


Clinical Trial Description

The trial will be a single blinded randomised controlled, pragmatic, medical device trial evaluating a Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) Drug Sensitivity Testing (DST) strategy to guide individualised treatment of rifampicin resistant tuberculosis (RR-TB) patients. A total of 248 patients diagnosed with RR-TB in the South African Free State province will by randomised to one of two trial arms. 124 patients will be assigned to the intervention arm, consisting of a WGS DST strategy for diagnosing drug resistance profile and an algorithm-determined individualised RR-TB treatment recommendation. 124 patients will be assigned to the control arm where the diagnosis of Mtb drug resistance and individualisation of RR-TB treatment will happen according to the Standard of Care (SOC) procedures. ;
