A Leukapheresis Study for Immune Responses in Healthy US Adults Who Receive BCG Vaccination Followed...
TuberculosisHealthy 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.
A Phase I Study of Safety & Immunogenicity of AERAS-456 in HIV-Neg. Adults Treated for Drug-susceptible...
TuberculosisThis is a Phase I, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled safety and immunogenicity study in adults who have recently been successfully treated for drug-susceptible pulmonary Tuberculosis (TB). The safety and immunogenicity profile of escalating doses of AERAS-456 in HIV-negative subjects recently treated for drug-susceptible pulmonary TB will be investigated. The study will be conducted at three sites in South Africa.
Safety, Tolerability, and Immunogenicity of the Vaccine Candidates ID93 + AP10-602 and ID93 + GLA-SE...
TuberculosisThis is a phase I randomized, double blind clinical trial designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of the ID93 recombinant protein antigen alone or formulated with GLA-SE or AP10-602 adjuvant in 70 healthy adults 18-49 years of age. Subjects will receive a total of 3 doses administered intramuscularly on Days 1, 29 and 57. Subjects will be monitored for approximately 422 days (365 days following the third study injection), including safety laboratory analyses done just prior to and 7 days following each study injection. Blood samples will be obtained for immunological assays (Luminex, intracellular cytokine staining at Days 1 and 71, and antibody analysis at Days 1 and 85). The primary objective is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of 10 µg ID93 + 5 or 10 µg AP10-602 compared to 10 µg ID93 + 5 µg GLA-SE and 10 µg ID93 alone following three consecutive intramuscular injections administered on Days 1, 29 and 57.
Efficacy of Weekly Rifapentine and Isoniazid for Tuberculosis Prevention
SilicosisTuberculosisTuberculosis (TB) remains the most important infectious disease in the world. Preventive treatment plays an important role in successful control of TB. For preventive therapy, the three-month (12-dose) regimen of weekly rifapentine and isoniazid (3RPT/INH) are now recommended by WHO for its non-inferiority, safety and convenience compared with 6~9 months regimen of daily isoniazid monotherapy or 3~4 months daily rifampicin monotherapy. And the treatment completion rate is higher compared with daily regimen. However, relevant study is lacking in China where the TB burden is high with the incidence rate of 70/100, 000. And the provision of chemoprophylaxis is not recommended in China currently. Silicosis is a high risk factor of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. This is an open-label, randomized, Phase III clinical trial to evaluate the effectiveness and tolerability of the 3RPT/INH to prevent tuberculosis (TB) compared with those who do not receive preventive treatment among silicotic patients.
Predictive Values of Next Generation Interferon Gamma Release Assays for Latent Tuberculosis Infection...
TuberculosisThis study will assess the next generation of blood tests for latent TB infection, which may be able to indicate how treatment is working as well as in diagnosis infection.
Improving Retreatment Success (IMPRESS)
Recurrent TuberculosisThis is an open label randomized controlled clinical trial comparing two regimens for treatment of smear-positive pulmonary TB, among patients previously treated for TB. The primary objective is to determine if a moxifloxacin-containing regimen, substituting moxifloxacin for ethambutol, of 24 weeks duration is superior to a control regimen of 24 weeks duration in improving treatment outcomes in patients with recurrent TB and shortens the duration of TB treatment.

Phase I Clinical Human Tolerability Study of Recombinant Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Allergen ESAT6-CFP10...
HealthyIn the tests, small sample of clinical study about Recombinant Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Allergen ESAT6-CFP10 ( Recombination EC Allergen) healthy adults was carried out. 24 healthy adults were included as study objects, they were randomly divided into four groups of different Recombinant Allergen EC dose (1, 5, 10μg/mL, maximum tolerated dose 20μg/mL, 6 person/dose) for single arm intradermal injection. The main examination items :vital signs (breathing, heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature ) of each volunteer at 15min, 30min, 1h, 2h, 4h, 8h, 24h, 48h, 72h, 96h after injection, skin reactivity (redness and/or induration) diameter of injection sites,local reaction ( rash, pain, itching, and skin and mucous membranes ) ,a variety of adverse events,routine blood,routine urine, liver and kidney function, ECG and chest X-ray films before and 7 days after intradermal injection . Preliminary evaluation of safety and tolerability of Recombinant Allergen EC applied in humans, which can provide a safe dosage range for phase II clinical study.
Vitamin D Supplementation Enhances Immune Response to Bacille-Calmette-Guerin (BCG) Vaccination...
TuberculosisThe purpose of this study is to determine whether a single oral dose of vitamin D given to infants prior to Bacille-Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccination will enhance the immune response to BCG vaccination.
Safety and Immunogenicity Study of a Candidate Tuberculosis Vaccine in Healthy Infants
TuberculosisThis purpose of the study is to assess the safety and immunogenicity of a GSK Biologicals' candidate tuberculosis vaccine (692342) when administered concomitantly with or after the Expanded Programme of Immunisation vaccines regimen to healthy infants aged between and including 2 and 7 months, living in a tuberculosis endemic region.
