Extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis

This study tests whether placing one-way valves in the lungs can shrink cavities caused by drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB) or nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) infections. The valves block airflow into the cavity, creating a low-oxygen environment that may slow or stop bacterial…

This study tests a community-based screening strategy for tuberculosis (TB) in migrant communities in New York City. A mobile van offers digital chest X-rays with AI interpretation, along with TB symptom checks, blood tests for latent TB, and HIV testing. The goal is to see wheth…

This large study in five countries will test new, portable diagnostic tools for tuberculosis (TB) that use tongue swabs and AI-assisted chest X-rays. The goal is to see if these faster, easier tests can find more TB cases, especially in people who have no symptoms or can't produc…

This study aims to better understand tuberculosis (TB) across its entire spectrum—from early, symptom-free infection to active disease and after treatment. Researchers will recruit TB patients and their close contacts to analyze immune responses and identify biomarkers that could…
