Four-Week pill could revolutionize TB prevention for millions at risk

NCT ID NCT06568484

Summary

This study aims to see if a 4-week course of the drug bedaquiline is as safe and effective as standard, longer drug regimens at preventing active tuberculosis (TB). It will enroll over 2500 people living with HIV and close contacts of people with TB who are at high risk of developing the disease. The goal is to find a shorter, easier-to-complete prevention option for vulnerable groups.
