Triage Test for All Oral DR-TB Regimen (TRiAD Study)

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

A Phase 4 operational study to assess the effectiveness, feasibility, acceptability, and cost effectiveness of the GeneXpert MTB/XDR (Xpert XDR; Cepheid) assay for rapid triage-and-treatment of DR-TB-A multi-centre, multi-country prospective cohort study

Clinical Trial Description

The TriAD study is a multi-center, multi-country Prospective Pragmatic Cohort study assessing the effectiveness, feasibility, acceptability, and cost-effectiveness of implementing the Xpert MTB/XDR (Xpert XDR; Cepheid) assay for rapid triage-and-treatment with short, all- oral drug resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) treatment. The proposed study aims to screen approximately 4800 GeneXpert MTB/RIF or Ultra MTB-positive (irrespective of rifampicin resistance status) patients from 9 study sites in South Africa, Nigeria and Ethiopia to enrol 880 rifampicin resistant (RR) and 400 isoniazid mono-resistant (HR) patients over a period of 12-18 months. The Xpert XDR assay, a rapid genotypic test, will be implemented as a reflex test to detect resistance to isoniazid, fluoroquinolones and second-line injectable agents to provide rapid genotypic susceptibility testing for DR-TB detection. Patients that test positive for Mycobacterium tuberculosis with rifampicin resistance will be enrolled in Cohort 1 (n=880). Patients that test positive for Mycobacterium tuberculosis that are rifampicin susceptible with isoniazid mono-resistance will be enrolled in Cohort 2 (n=400). Results from the Xpert XDR assay will be used to guide selection of appropriate, evidence-based, all-oral DR-TB treatment regimens of shortest possible duration. The tuberculosis molecular bacterial load assay (TB-MBLA) will be used as an adjunct to provide bacillary load monitoring over the course of treatment to assess real-time treatment response. Operational research will provide information about the feasibility, acceptability and cost-effectiveness to inform policies and guidelines for programmatic implementation of the triage-and-treat model. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
