Filter by:A cluster randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effect of placing Truenat platform/TB assays at primary health care clinics combined with rapid communication of results on time to treatment initiation of microbiologically confirmed TB.
An electronic-nose (e-nose) had been investigated as a diagnostic tool for tuberculosis by examining exhaled breath of the patients. Universitas Gadjah Mada has developed an e-nose device for TB diagnostic tool. Here the investigators test the device in order to analyze the sensitivity and specificity electronic-nose as a screening tool for tuberculosis.
The Cepheid Xpert MTB/XDR cartridge, which runs on the same platform as Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra, has been developed to detect additional resistance to isoniazid, fluoroquinolones and second-line injectable anti-tuberculosis drugs and provides results within 2 hours and on primary samples. An evaluation of the the Xpert MTB/XDR assay is currently underway in clinical settings in South Africa, India and Moldova. The TB-CAPT MTB/XDR Study will add further diagnostic accuracy and feasibility data to the evidence base for the Xpert MTB/XDR assay.
The study used a randomized, dose-escalation, blinded, placebo-controlled trial design. In this trial, 160 subjects were enrolled. The test vaccines are divided into four dose groups: dose group 1 (0.025mg / 0.1ml / person), dose group 2 (0.05mg / 0.1ml / person), dose group 3 (0.075mg / 0.1ml / person), dose group 4 (0.1mg / 0.1ml / person), each Each dose group was enrolled according to 18-45、 46-65 、6-10、11-17years old . The 4 doses are in descending order in the order of 18-45, 46-65, 11-17, and 6-10 years old. Each age group in the same dose group was enrolled in 8 experimental BCG subjects and 2 placebo subjects. Among subjects aged 6-65 years, the dose group 2 study will be carried out after the safety assessment 14 days after the dose group 1 vaccination, and the dose group 3 study will be carried out after completing the safety assessment 14 days after the dose group 2 vaccination. Dose group 3 studies were carried out after safety assessment 14 days after vaccination. Within the same dose group, after completing the safety assessment 14 days after vaccination for the previous age group, vaccination for the next age group is carried out.
HIV-infected people have an increased risk of developing active tuberculosis (TB). To reduce the burden of TB among people living with HIV (PLHIV), the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends systematic TB screening followed by 1) confirmatory TB testing for all those who screen positive and 2) TB preventive therapy (TPT) for all TPT-eligible PLHIV who screen negative. The objective of the TB Screening Improves Preventive Therapy Uptake (TB SCRIPT) trial is to determine whether TB screening based on C-reactive protein (CRP) levels, measured using a rapid and low-cost point-of-care (POC) assay, improves TPT uptake and clinical outcomes of PLHIV, relative to symptom-based TB screening.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and immunogenicity of M72/AS01E vaccination in virally suppressed, antiretroviral-treated participants with human immunodeficiency virus infection (HIV).
This study will evaluate new technique, microneedle, to detect latent tuberculosis (TB) in healthy volunteers
This is a single-center, open-label, fixed sequence, pharmacokinetic interaction study between bictegravir and tenofovir alafenamide with rifapentine dosed either daily or weekly. Primary Aims - To assess the effect of once-weekly rifapentine on the steady-state PK of BIC - To assess the effect of once-daily rifapentine on the steady-state PK of BIC Secondary Aims - To assess the effect of daily dosed rifapentine on steady-state PK of TAF (measured as plasma and IC concentrations of TFV-DP) - To assess the effect and timing of interactions of weekly dosed rifapentine on steady-state PK of TAF (measured as plasma and IC concentrations of TFV-DP) - To assess the safety of BIC/TAF/FTC when coadministered with once-weekly or once-daily rifapentine
This trial is to describe the safety, tolerability and exposure-toxicity relationship of Depazolid given over 16 weeks, in combination with standard-dose Bedaquiline, Delamanid and Moxifloxacin, compared to standard-dose Bedaquiline, Delamanid and Moxifloxacin alone
Filarial nematodes modulate the host immune response to promote regulatory and T helper type 2 immune responses, which were shown to influence concomitant infections. Indeed, several studies showed that increased susceptibility and worsened disease course of HIV, tuberculosis (TB) and malaria in filarial endemic regions. Moreover, the investigators demonstrated that M. perstans infections polarize and suppress immune responses with likely consequences for concomitant infections and vaccine-induced protection. In addition, the investigators observed altered frequencies of natural killer and regulatory T and B cells in filarial and M. tuberculosis co-infected individuals and that M. perstans influences CD4+ T cell function and immune responses upon purified protein derivative antigen stimulation. Nevertheless, the consequences of manifestation of TB disease and influence on TB vaccination remains unknown. Thus, the trial aim to address two main questions with high clinical relevance: 1) Does filarial infection influence disease severity and recovery in tuberculosis patients? 2) Does filarial infection influence Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG)-induced protection against disease progression in vaccinated children?
