Active clinical trials for "Tuberculosis"

Tuberculosis remains a concerning health problem, with Mycobacterium Tuberculosis (MTB) now causing more deaths than acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). GSK3036656 is a compound with a novel mechanism of action under development for the treatment of tuberculosis. It suppresses protein synthesis in MTB by selectively inhibiting the enzyme Leucyl t-ribose nucleic acid (RNA) synthetase. Thus, this study will investigate the early bactericidal activity, safety and tolerability of GSK3036656 in up to four sequential cohorts of subjects with rifampicin-susceptible tuberculosis. The primary objective of this dose-escalation study is to establish the anti-tuberculosis effect of GSK3036656 on serial colony forming units (CFU) counts of MTB in sputum over 14 days of therapy. Subjects in each cohort will be randomized in 3:1 ratio to one of two treatments: either GSK3036656 or standard-of-care (RIFAFOUR® e-275) regimen. The approximate duration of the study for an individual subject will be 5 weeks, including 1 week of screening, 2 weeks of treatment period and another 2 weeks of final follow-up visit.

Invariant Natural killer T (iNKT) cells are a unique subset of lymphocytes that express homogeneous TCR recognizing KRN7000 which was up-regulated by many kinds of cancer cells.The hypothesis of the investigators is that immunotherapy strategy of infusion of iNKT cells may resist inflection and decrease the tumor burden and improve overall survival. The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of treatment of tuberculosis with malignant solid tumor by infusing of iNKT cells.

The study is a single centre, phase I, open, randomized, by intranasal and sublingual application trial that explored the safety and immunogenicity of 2 doses (Day 1 and Day 21) TB/FLU-01L tuberculosis vaccine in BCG-vaccinated healthy adult subjects aged 18-50 years.

The purpose of this pharmacokinetic (PK) study was to evaluate if a double dose (3 mg) of levonorgestrel (LNG) overcomes known drug-drug interactions (DDIs) with efavirenz (EFV)-based antiretroviral therapy (ART) or rifampicin (RIF)-containing tuberculosis (TB) therapy. The safety of double-dose (3.0 mg) LNG versus standard-dose (1.5 mg) was also compared.

Partially-Blinded, Placebo-Controlled, Randomized, Single Ascending Dose (SAD) with a Food Effect Cohort to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of TBI-223 in Healthy Adults.

This study is a Phase 1, single-center, open-label, single-dose study to evaluate (1) the absorption, metabolism, and excretion patterns of a single dose of [14C] PA-824, and (2) the pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of a single oral-suspension dose of unlabeled PA-824 in healthy adult male subjects. Unlabeled PA-824 and [14C]-PA-824 will be administered together in an oral-suspension formulation. Enrollment is planned for one dose group of 6 subjects. All 6 subjects will receive the same treatment.

A Phase 1, Drug-Drug Interaction Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and the Induction Potential of TBAJ-876 on CYP3A4 and P-glycoprotein and the Inhibition Potential of TBAJ-876 on P-glycoprotein in Healthy Adult Subjects

endTB Clinical Trial a Phase III, randomized, controlled, open-label, non-inferiority, multi-country trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of five new, all-oral, shortened regimens for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB).

This research is being done to determine if Nitazoxanide (NTZ) will cause a significant decrease in the number of M. tuberculosis bacteria in sputum after 14 days of treatment. The study is being conducted at the GHESKIO Centers in Port au Prince Haiti

Tuberculosis (TB) is a common, infectious, bacterial disease that is spread when an infected person transmits their saliva through the air by coughing or sneezing. Despite the availability and effectiveness of affordable six-month treatments for tuberculosis (TB), the worldwide control of this disease is currently being impacted by the emergence of multidrug resistant TB (MDR-TB). MDR-TB refers to TB that is resistant to at least isoniazid and rifampicin. These are the two most powerful first-line drugs used to treat pulmonary TB. MDR-TB usually develops while a person is taking TB treatment due to either inappropriate treatment or failure of patients to comply with their treatment. This strain of drug-resistant bacteria can also be spread to other people through the air. With the incident rate of MDR-TB on the rise, there is a need to investigate optimal treatment regimens using effective drugs.
