Race against time: new drug combo aims to slash deaths from devastating brain infection

NCT ID NCT05590455

Summary

This study is testing if adding a drug called adalimumab to the standard treatment can help more people survive a severe brain infection called tuberculosis meningitis when they also have HIV. It will involve 130 adults in Brazil, Mozambique, and Zambia who will receive either the standard treatment alone or the standard treatment plus adalimumab injections. The main goal is to see if this addition lowers the number of deaths within three months and is safe for patients.
