Filter by:Healthy adults received BCG on Study Day -84, followed by randomization on Study Day 0 to receive 2 booster doses in a blinded fashion of either AERAS-402 (N=9) or placebo (N=2) on Study Days 0 and 28. Subjects were followed for a total of 98 days.
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.
The purpose of this study is to explore safety and efficacy of TMC207 administered as part of a multi-drug regimen for 24 to 48-week treatment in Japanese participants with pulmonary multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB), and to evaluate pharmacokinetics (PK) of TMC207 and its primary metabolite M2.
The study is designed to evaluate the clinical impact of a novel strategy for tuberculosis (TB) infection control known as FAST (Find cases Actively based on cough surveillance, Separate temporarily, and Treat effectively). It is anticipated that this will decrease time to effective treatment initiation and also decrease transmission of TB to health care workers.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (explores what the body does to the drug), and anti-mycobacterial activity of bedaquiline (TMC207) in children and adolescents (0 months to less than [<] 18 years of age) diagnosed with confirmed or probable pulmonary multidrug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB), in combination With a Background Regimen (BR) of MDR-TB Medications.
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 determine the lopinavir levels in blood of HIV and TB infected children (3-15kg) when given lopinavir/ritonavir in a 1:1 ratio with rifampicin containing TB regimen and its safety.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of a combination of moxifloxacin, PA-824, and pyrazinamide treatments with varying doses and treatment lengths from 4 to 6 months in subjects with drug-sensitive (DS) pulmonary TB compared to standard HRZE treatment. This study will also assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of a combination of moxifloxacin, PA-824, and pyrazinamide treatments after 6 months of treatment in subjects with multi drug-resistant (MDR) pulmonary TB compared to a combination of moxifloxacin, PA-824, and pyrazinamide treatments in DS-TB subjects.
This is a phase 1 study, in healthy volunteers who have previously been immunized with bacilli Calmette Guerin (BCG), to evaluate the safety and immune responses that develop in the blood and lungs following the administration by aerosol of a new experimental adenovirus-based vaccine for tuberculosis (TB), Ad5Ag85A.
96 TB subjects and 96 non-TB subjects with lung disease who all meet the standard are divided into different groups through a randomized, blind methods.Every subject inject intradermally ESAT6-CFP10 and TB-PPD in different arms of the same person.Specific γ- IFN(gamma interferon) detection is needed before the injection.Evaluate the sensitivity (positive coincidence rate) ,the specificity (negative coincidence rate) and the coincidence rate of ESAT6-CFP10 in the tuberculosis patients and non-tuberculosis patients with lung diseases, and determine the optimal dose of ESAT6-CFP10 for clinical auxiliary diagnosis of tuberculosis.
