Clinical Trial Summary

Undernutrition is a leading global risk factor of tuberculosis (TB) and a prevalent comorbidity associated with TB. In Benin, the National TB Program systematically provides nutritional support to all persons with TB (PWTB), distributing prepared foods to hospitalized patients and food baskets during outpatient care. In Togo, the PWTB population is similar to that of Benin; however, Togo does not have a systematic program in place to provide nutritional support to these patients. The investigators will perform a prospective cohort analysis using anonymized TB patient data from the National TB Programs of Benin and Togo. Participants enrolled in Benin will receive nutritional support from the hospital while those enrolled in Togo will not. Participants in Togo who do not receive nutritional support will serve as a control. Unfavorable outcomes in both groups such as treatment failure, death, or relapse will be compared. The results from this study should help to shape TB programs in the future by incorporating nutritional support.

Clinical Trial Description

The objectives of this prospective cohort analysis are: - To estimate the impact of nutritional support on TB treatment outcomes - To estimate the impact of nutritional support on the nutritional status of persons with TB (PWTB) at the end of treatment. Pulmonary TB patients who meet eligibility criteria including being diagnosed with a smear-positive (>/=1+ AFB) and provide informed consent will be enrolled. A projected sample of 1050 participants will be enrolled and followed for approximately 12 months. 700 will be enrolled in Benin and 350 in Togo. Participants enrolled in Benin will receive nutritional support from the hospital while those enrolled in Togo will not. Sputum samples will be collected at baseline and month two to confirm diagnosis and resolution of disease. Chest X-rays will be taken at enrollment, if not available by the TB program, and repeated 6 months following the end of TB treatment to assess for post-TB chronic lung disease. At all visits, surveys will be administered to assess for response to treatment and functional and economic recovery. ;

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.
