Filter by:PRISM-TB is an international, multicenter, open-label, randomized, controlled, pragmatic, stratified medicine, treatment shortening, noninferiority Phase 3 clinical trial for fluoroquinolone-susceptible multidrug-resistant/rifampin-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis (FQ-S MDR/RR-TB). The trial objective is to evaluate whether stratified medicine treatment strategies for FQ-S MDR/RR-TB, defined by a pre-specified risk stratification algorithm, have noninferior efficacy to a one-size-fits-all control regimen (the local standard-of-care [SOC] regimen consistent with preferred regimen(s) in international guidelines), as measured by TB-related unfavorable outcomes at Week 73.
Pulmonary Tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant global health concern, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC), where resources for healthcare are often limited. While CXR is the standard imaging modality for TB diagnosis, its sensitivity and specificity can vary depending on factors such as the stage of the disease and the quality of the image obtained. This study endeavors to assess the diagnostic precision of Chest Ultrasound (CUS) relative to Chest X-ray (CXR) and CAD score in the detection of Pulmonary Tuberculosis (TB) among both index cases and household contacts.
This study is designed to further strengthen the clinical application evidence of BaidiZiyin Pill and ShenqiYifei Pill in the treatment of tuberculosis. To be included in the initial treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis patients, on the basis of standardized Western medicine treatment, BaidiZiyin Pills and ShenqiYifei Pills will be used to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of their products. 1. Evaluate the improvement of symptoms in the adjuvant treatment of newly treated pulmonary tuberculosis with BaidiZiyin Pill and ShenqiYifei Pill. 2. Explore the sputum negative conversion time and sputum negative conversion rate of BaidiZiyin Pill and ShenqiYifei Pill as adjunctive treatments for newly treated pulmonary tuberculosis. 3. Explore the protective effects of BaidiZiyin Pill and ShenqiYifei Pill on adverse reactions caused by chemotherapy.

BACKGROUND: Pulmonary tuberculosis remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in Thailand. The microbiological detection of TB is important because of early and correct diagnosis, drug resistance testing and ensures that the effective treatment can be achieved and in a timely manner. Mycobacterial culture is the gold standard diagnostic test. Currently, a real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay, such as Allplex™ MTB/MDRe Detection, Seegene is commonly used. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the diagnosis value of the real-time multiplex PCR by using Allplex™ MTB/MDRe Detection kit to detect MTB from sputum specimens with a gold standard TB culture.
While drug-susceptible tuberculosis (TB) disease in children currently requires four to six months of treatment, most children may be able to be cured with a shorter treatment of more powerful drugs. Shorter treatment may be easier for children to tolerate and finish as well as ease caregiver strain from managing treatment side effects and supporting children over many months. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate if a 2-month regimen (including isoniazid (H), rifapentine (P), pyrazinamide (Z) and moxifloxacin (M)) is as safe and effective as a 4- to 6-month regimen (isoniazid, rifampicin (R), pyrazinamide, ethambutol (E)) in curing drug-susceptible TB disease in children under 10 years old. The study is also evaluating the safety of the HPZM in children with and without HIV.
The study is to enroll 60 participants aged 18-65 years old, including 30 healthy subjects and 30 tuberculosis patients. Low-dose (2.5 μg/ml), medium-dose (5 μg/ml), and high-dose (10 μg/ml) studies will be conducted separately for healthy subjects and pulmonary tuberculosis patients, with 20 participants in each dosage group. Within 28 days after the skin test of the test drug, observations were made of reactions at the skin test site, reactions at non-skin test sites, concomitant medication, and any other physical discomfort (skin test site-specific reactions were recorded separately).
A randomized, open, drug controlled design of experiments was used to evaluate the early bactericidal activity, safety, tolerance and pharmacokinetic characteristics of JDB0131 benzenesulfonate tablet taken orally by drug sensitive pulmonary tuberculosis patients. Five groups are proposed to be set up in this test (JDB0131 benzenesulfonate 100mg BID, JDB0131 benzenesulfonate 200mg QD, JDB0131 benzenesulfonate 200mg BID, anti tuberculosis drug fixed dose composite dosage QD is determined according to the weight of the study participants, and delamanid 100mg BID)
This study is being done to test an experimental study vaccine compared to a placebo. The experimental study vaccine is called ID93 + GLA-SE. ID93 + GLA-SE has been used in humans in research but has not been approved for use in medical care. This study will be the first to test ID93 + GLA-SE in people living with HIV (PLWH). The injections during the study will be given to different groups of participants while they are using standard TB treatment. One of the research questions is to understand the differences in immune system responses depending on the timing of giving the injections after people begin taking standard TB treatment. Researchers also want to continue to look at whether the study vaccine is safe when tested in a larger group of people, and if getting the study vaccine in addition to standard TB treatment can help to lower the number of poor TB outcomes that people might have.
Tuberculosis (TB) is caused by mycobacterial organism. It is the leading infectious disease cause of death globally. According to recent estimates from the World Health Organization (WHO), over 10 million new cases and 1.6 million deaths from TB occurred in 2021. The vast majority of TB cases and TB deaths are in developing countries. Nigeria has the highest TB burden in Africa with a high number of undetected TB cases as well. The spread of HIV has fueled the TB epidemic, and TB is the leading cause of death among patients infected with HIV and has assumed the lead position as the number one infectious disease cause of death globally. Even though the COVID-19 was associated with a huge mortality, TB contributed significantly to death and one of the single predictors of death among COVID-19 infected individuals. TB predominantly affects young adults in their most productive years of life and has substantial impact on economic development. Emerging evidence has shown that lipid lowering drugs like statins can make the TB bacteria more susceptible to current treatment regimen. The ATORTUB group recently completed Phase II A and Phase IIB studies to assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of atorvastatin when administered with the current standard of care. The investigators demonstrated that atorvastatin is well tolerated, save, and has beneficial microbiological and radiological impacts in tuberculosis, thus, warrants further studies. This phase IIC trial sets out to evaluate the safety and efficacy of different doses of atorvastatin containing regimen, determine rate of decline of viable sputum bacilli, the time to stable sputum conversion, improvement in chest ray severity scores and lung function parameters post randomization in the different treatment arms. The phase II C is a Selection Trial with Extended follow-up STEP and has been devised as a pilot phase III where patients are studied for longer period (12months post randomization) than the usual phase IIB. Thus, providing additional data that will justify a successful phase III trial.
