Filter by: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 evaluate the efficacy, safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of bedaquiline plus PA-824 plus linezolid after 6 months of treatment (option for 9 months for subjects who remain culture positive at month 4) in Subjects with either pulmonary extensively drug resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB), treatment intolerant or non-responsive multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB).
There are some risks of pulmonary edema in patients undergoing pulmonary lobectomy with one lung ventilation. The overloading of fluid administration could be related to the development of pulmonary edema in patents after thoracic surgery. But fluid restriction may cause major organ hypoperfusion during the surgery. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the ability of stroke volume variation as an indicator for a fluid responsiveness in patient who receives pulmonary lobectomy via thoracotomy.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of Chinese medicine Qinbudan in Patients Receiving Standard Combination Therapy for Retreatment Pulmonary Tuberculosis.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the mycobactericidal activity, safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of 6 doses of linezolid: 300 mg once per day, 300 mg twice per day, 600 mg once per day, 600 mg twice per day and 1200 mg once per day administered orally for 14 consecutive days or 1200 mg administered three times per week for two weeks in adult subjects with newly diagnosed drug‐sensitive, smear‐positive pulmonary tuberculosis.
Assess the mycobactericidal activity of PA-824 (given at 200 mg daily) when added to first-line tuberculosis (TB) treatment (isoniazid, pyrazinamide, and a rifamycin antibiotic) over 12 weeks of treatment. Funding Source - FDA Office of Orphan Products Development (OOPD)
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of enhanced glycemic monitoring of diabetes upon diabetes glycaemic control during tuberculosis treatment in tuberculosis- diabetes patients.
This is a pilot pulmonary TB screening program done in three antenatal care clinics in Lusaka, Zambia to determine the prevalence of culture-confirmed pulmonary tuberculosis and to determine the sensitivity and specificity of symptom-based TB screening.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity in BCG-vaccinated healthy adult subjects of an investigational vaccine being developed for the prevention of pulmonary tuberculosis.
