TUBERCULOSIS

This early-stage study tests a new vaccine called Ad5-105K to see if it is safe and triggers an immune response against tuberculosis (TB). About 36 healthy adults aged 18 to 49 who have been exposed to TB bacteria (but have no active disease) will receive either the vaccine or a …

This large study tests an experimental vaccine called M72/AS01E-4 to see if it can prevent tuberculosis (TB) in teens and adults. About 20,000 people will receive either the vaccine or a placebo. The goal is to find a safe and effective way to stop TB, a serious lung infection.

This study tests two experimental vaccines (BNT164a1 and BNT164b1) to see if they are safe and trigger an immune response against tuberculosis. About 500 healthy adults who have already received the BCG vaccine will receive three doses of either a vaccine or a placebo. The goal i…

This study tests a 4-session behavioral program to reduce alcohol use in 450 people with TB and HIV in India. Unhealthy drinking can worsen TB and HIV outcomes. The program is added to usual care, and researchers will check if it lowers alcohol use and improves health. The goal i…

This study tests whether a food supplement called Nyaditum resae® can reduce the gut problems caused by antibiotics used to treat tuberculosis (TB). About 48 adults with new, drug-sensitive TB will take either the supplement or a placebo alongside their regular TB medicines. The …

This study tests a package of community support, family help, digital reminders, and healthcare worker training to improve how tuberculosis is found and treated in South Ethiopia. About 278 patients, family members, and health workers will take part. The goal is to see if this co…

This study tests whether a once-weekly combination of two drugs (rifapentine and isoniazid) can safely prevent tuberculosis in children and teens with HIV who are already taking the antiretroviral dolutegravir. About 92 participants aged 3 months to 17 years will receive the TB p…

This study looks at better ways to find and prevent tuberculosis (TB) in people living with HIV. Researchers will test a new screening method and offer patients a choice of TB preventive medicines with extra support like text reminders. The goal is to improve TB detection and hel…

This study tests whether taking two TB prevention drugs daily for one month works as well as taking them weekly for three months. It includes 1,000 people with HIV or those living with someone recently diagnosed with TB. The goal is to see which schedule more people complete and …

This study is tracking over 2,200 tuberculosis patients to see how the amount of TB drugs in their blood relates to how well the treatment works and whether they have side effects. By measuring drug levels, researchers hope to find ways to adjust doses for each person, especially…

This study looks at how tuberculosis (TB) medications travel through a mother's body, into her breastmilk, and to her nursing baby. Researchers will take blood and milk samples from 20 mothers and small blood samples from their infants at several time points after a dose. The goa…

This study tests whether AI-powered X-ray analysis and portable molecular tests can help find tuberculosis (TB) and COVID-19 cases in African communities where many cases go undetected. Over 26,000 adults will be screened using these tools, and researchers will measure how quickl…

This study looks at whether giving the BCG vaccine as a mist breathed into the lungs works better than the usual injection under the skin. It includes 36 healthy adults who have already had BCG, some with type 2 diabetes and some without. Researchers will measure immune responses…

This study aimed to see if the BCG vaccine, given as a skin injection, could stop the TB bacteria from growing in healthy adults. Researchers planned to vaccinate some volunteers and then expose them to a weakened form of TB six months later to measure protection. However, the tr…

This study tests the safety of a new tuberculosis vaccine called ID93/GLA-SE in 48 healthy adults, some of whom have had the standard BCG vaccine before. Researchers will also use an experimental method where a weakened form of TB bacteria is given as an aerosol to see how the im…
