Active clinical trials for "Tuberculosis, Pulmonary"

Tuberculosis (TB) remains the most important infectious disease in the world. A major barrier to tuberculosis control is poor adherence to long-term and complex treatment regimens. This is a multicenter prospective, non-inferiority randomized controlled study. The purpose of our study is a) to evaluate the tolerability, efficacy and pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) of the high-dose rifapentine, b) to evaluate whether the high-dose rifapentine-containing regimen has the potential to treat the rifampicin-sensitive pulmonary tuberculosis and shorten the course of treatment to 17 weeks. This study is of great significance for shortening the course of treatment, reducing the adverse reactions and economic burden of patients' treatment in rifampicin-sensitive tuberculosis patient.

Although many interventions are implemented to increase TB case detection, decrease diagnosis delay, and avoid catastrophic costs, there are no significant changes and the end TB goal will not be achieved in 2035. Innovative intervention that considers indigenous knowledge and unique culture and religious perspectives because many people go to traditional healers and holy water for healing. Therefore, integrating traditional tuberculosis care with modern care increase case detection, decrease diagnosis delay, and avoid catastrophic costs. There is no literature clearly defining integrating traditional TB care with modern care, but for the purpose of this study, integrating traditional care with modern care is defined as the collaboration of two systems through referral linkage. TB screening and diagnosis services will be done collaboratively in traditional and modern care services. A referral linkage model will be used to detect TB cases in both traditional and modern care services. Health care providers, traditional healers, priests, pastors, and imams will participate in the integration process. TB detection or diagnosis services will be integrated through referral linkage and strengthening capacity-building strategies. Traditional care centers and modern health care services will work collaboratively to improve TB case detection, reduce care costs, and avoid diagnosis delays. The standardized operational procedure of the full interventional package is described below. There are four steps of the intervention phases. These are the preliminary phase, preparation for implementation and refinement on a small scale phase, administering the intervention, and end-line assessment of outcomes. The intervention will be providing training for traditional and modern care practitioners, patient education, TB screening, and bidirectional referral linkage. This study hypothesized that integrating traditional care with modern care at the primary care level will increase the TB case detection rate by fifteen percentage points. Integrating traditional care with modern care at the primary care level will decrease TB diagnosis delay by fifteen percentage points. Integrating traditional care with modern care at the primary care level also will decrease the cost of TB care by 15 percentages of points

This study is being conducted to assess the antiretroviral activity of a fixed-drug, single tablet, combination of Bictegravir 50mg/ Emtricitabine 200mg/ Tenofovir alafenamide 25mg (Biktarvy®) dosed twice daily in HIV-1 infected, ART-naïve patients with TB co-infection receiving a rifampicin-based tuberculosis (TB) treatment regimen. This study will assess the activity of Bictegravir and dolutegravir-containing ART regimens in patients with drug-susceptible TB through 48 weeks

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of 2 repurposed drugs (acetylsalicylic acid and ibuprofen), for use as adjunct therapy added to, and compared with, the standard of care (SoC) WHO-recommended TB regimen in drug-sensitive (DS) and multi-drug resistant (MDR) TB patients.

This is a phase 2B/C, open label platform study that will compare the efficacy, safety of 3 experimental regimens with a standard control regimen in participants with newly diagnosed, drug sensitive pulmonary tuberculosis. In stage 1, participants will be randomly allocated to the control or one of the 2 rifampicin-containing experimental regimens in the ratio 1:1:1. In stage 2, the experimental arm 4 containing sutezolid will be added. Participants will be allocated to control or one of the three experimental regimens in the ratio 1:1:1:1. Towards the end of stage 2, when experimental arms 1 and 2 will be fully enrolled, participants will be randomized 1:1 to control and experimental arm 4. The objective is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of increased dose of rifampicin, an optimized dose of pyrazinamide, moxifloxacin, and sutezolid, in adult subjects with newly diagnosed, smear-positive pulmonary tuberculosis.

Tuberculosis (TB) treatment is long and complex with the risk of poor treatment adherence and treatment failure. Several attempts to shorten treatment of drug-susceptible TB have been unsuccessful. However, recent data support a shortened regimen for mild and moderate pulmonary TB and simultaneous optimization of rifampicin (RIF) and pyrazinamide (PZA). This phase II clinical study aim to investigate a strategy to shorten TB treatment by exploring safety and drug exposure of a high-dose sterilizing TB regimen.

To evaluate the 7-day early bactericidal activity (EBA), pharmacokinetics (PK), safety and tolerability of ethionamide (Eto) with or without BVL-GSK098 in participants with rifampicin- and isoniazid-susceptible pulmonary TB.

This study was a randomized controlled trial studying about acid-fast bacillus sputum conversion ratio from positive to negative of pulmonary tuberculosis patients between metformin with pulmonary tuberculosis standard treatment group and placebo drug with pulmonary tuberculosis standard treatment.

This trial will assess the safety and efficacy of OPC-167832 combined with Delamanid and Bedaquiline in subjects with DS-TB administered for 4 months compared to rifampin, isoniazid, ethambutol, pyrazinamide (RHEZ) administered for 6 months

To determine if a high-dose first-line regimen is non-inferior (non-inferiority margin 10%) in terms of safety to the same regimen at regular dosing, in previously treated patients with rifampicin-susceptible recurrent Tuberculosis (TB).
