Could a 1-Month pill course stop TB in schools?
NCT ID NCT06022146
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a 4-week course of two TB drugs works as well as the standard 3-month course to prevent active TB in students and staff who have been exposed. About 3,520 people from schools will take either the short or standard regimen. The goal is to see if the shorter option is easier to complete and just as effective.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
isoniazid and rifapentine
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a shorter, easier TB prevention option for teens and young adults, potentially increasing the number of people who complete treatment.
What could go wrong
This is a large phase 3 trial, but the shorter regimen may still cause side effects or be less effective than the standard 3-month course. Results may not apply outside school settings.
