Old drug, new hope: common antibiotic could shield TB patients from lifelong lung damage

NCT ID NCT05473520

Summary

This study is testing if adding a common antibiotic called doxycycline to standard tuberculosis (TB) treatment can protect patients' lungs and heart from long-term damage. It will involve 150 adults with active TB who have just started treatment. The goal is to see if this extra drug helps preserve lung function, heal lung cavities faster, and reduce the risk of future heart problems.
