New blood test could speed up TB diagnosis and treatment monitoring
NCT ID NCT07170735
First seen Oct 31, 2025 · Last updated May 11, 2026 · Updated 32 times
Summary
This study is testing a new blood and urine test that looks for tiny bits of TB bacteria's DNA (called cell-free DNA) to see if it can quickly and accurately diagnose active tuberculosis (TB) and monitor how well treatment is working. The test is non-invasive, unlike current methods that often require sputum samples or tissue biopsies, which can be difficult for some patients. Researchers will measure the DNA levels in 85 adults with newly diagnosed TB, latent TB infection, or no TB, and track changes during and after treatment.
