Active clinical trials for "Tuberculosis"

The objectives of this research are to determine: the burden of intestinal parasitic infections among persons living with pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) whether intestinal parasitic infections alter TB treatment outcomes, including speed of sputum clearance and treatment outcomes the impact of malnutrition on speed of sputum clearance and TB treatment outcomes whether nutritional supplementation improves speed of sputum clearance and treatment outcomes In this study the researchers will investigate how intestinal parasites impact the nutritional status of TB patients before the start of nutritional supplementation and how they alter the trajectory of weight gain in those receiving supplementation by analyzing results from 2 cohorts. LEOPARD Cohort 1- Control-Enroll TB cases, screen for undernutrition, obtain stool for intestinal parasite screening by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and assess them for treatment outcomes and weight gain TB LION (Learning Impact of Nutrition) - Enroll TB cases, provide nutritional supplementation for 6 months (as part of existing TB LION study), screen for undernutrition, obtain stool for intestinal parasite screening by PCR, and assess them for treatment outcomes and weight gain LEOPARD Cohort 2 - Enroll TB cases, screen for undernutrition, obtain stool for internal parasite screening by PCR, and assess them for treatment outcomes and weight gain.

In Mexico City, the main cause of mortality among people living with HIV (PLHIV) continues to be opportunistic infections (OIs). Early detection of OIs allows their timely treatment and improves their prognosis. The use of rapid diagnostic tests (RDT) based on antigens of the most frequent causative agents of OIs allows adequate screening of these patients and facilitates decision making at the point of care. Unfortunately, these studies are not widely available in the different PLHIV care centers in the CDMX. We will conduct an open-label, non-inferiority uncontrolled clinical trial to investigate the diagnostic performance of urinary lipoarabinomannan, urinary Histoplasma antigen and serum Cryptococcus antigen in patients presenting for care with advanced HIV in CDMX, supported by rapid cluster of differentiation 4 (CD4) testing with lateral flow technology. Four referral hospitals will participate over 12 months. All patients with diagnosed HIV disease and suspected advanced disease presenting for care at participating centers will be included in the study. An inventory of approximately 1000 RDT will be obtained and distributed among the participating sites. A study coordinator will be hired and will visit each site once a week to collect the study variables and follow up on the included patients. The primary outcome of the study will be the percentage of patients with advanced disease who present with diagnoses made by RDT compared to historical controls of patients diagnosed with OI in 2022 at participating centers by conventional methods. Secondary outcomes will be time to initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART), time to initiation of OI treatment, and 30-day mortality after HIV diagnosis.

To Strengthen tuberculosis education and awareness among physicians in Assiut city in the framework of national tuberculosis control program.

A phase 2, multicenter, uncontrolled, open-label trial in participants with Multi-drug Resistant Tuberculosis (MDR-TB). Only participants who completed Trial 242-07-204 (NCT00685360) were eligible. The trial was performed globally at 14 sites qualified to treat MDR-TB. All 434 participants who completed Trial 242-07-204 were eligible for this trial if there was still potential clinical benefit to them and all inclusion criteria and no exclusion criteria were met.

Drug-resistant tuberculosis is becoming a major problem for the whole humanity, and development of new Anti-TB drugs is of great importance. Since Kazakhstan is a country with the high burden of tuberculosis, the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan has founded initiative on the development of new Anti-TB drug to treat drug-resistant forms of this infectious disease. JSC "Scientific Center for Anti-infectious Drugs" has developed original drug FS-1 for the treatment of multidrug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB).

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single ascending dose study conducted at one study center in the United States. Four (4) cohorts of 8 subjects each (6 active and 2 placebo). Subjects will participate in only one cohort. Safety will be assessed throughout the study; serial ECGs and serial blood samples will be collected for the safety and PK assessment of sutezolid. Dose escalation to the next cohort (i.e., dose level) will not take place until the Sponsor, in conjunction with the Principal Investigator, has determined that adequate safety, tolerability and PK from the previous cohort has been demonstrated to permit proceeding to the next cohort. Interim PK analyses will be performed for the dose escalation decisions to reconsider the sampling time points as the study progresses. All samples will be sent for analysis and the bioanalytical lab will be unblinded and only run the analysis on active treatment subjects. Data from the analysis used for the escalation meetings will only include active treatment subjects, and will be blinded by subject. Subjects will be housed in the clinic from at least 24 hours prior (from Day -2), until 48 hours (Day 3) after dosing. Subjects will be contacted via a phone call for follow-up questioning about adverse events 7 days later (Study Day 10).

To evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of various doses and durations of linezolid plus bedaquiline and pretomanid after 26 weeks of treatment in participants with either pulmonary XDR-TB, pre-XDR-TB, or treatment intolerant or non-responsive MDR-TB.

A Prospective, Randomized, Open, Active-controlled, Interventional, Exploratory, Phase II Trial of LCB01-0371.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of single oral doses of TBA-354 when administered to healthy adult subjects.

Assess the mycobactericidal activity of PA-824 (given at 200 mg daily) when added to first-line tuberculosis (TB) treatment (isoniazid, pyrazinamide, and a rifamycin antibiotic) over 12 weeks of treatment. Funding Source - FDA Office of Orphan Products Development (OOPD)
