Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.

Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

Summary

This study tests whether a shorter, 5-month combination of TB drugs works as well as the standard 6-month treatment for people with both HIV and drug-susceptible tuberculosis. It involves 148 participants with very weak immune systems (CD4 count under 100). The goal is to see if the shorter regimen can effectively treat TB while reducing side effects and treatment burden.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
isoniazid, rifapentine, moxifloxacin, pyrazinamide
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a shorter, more convenient treatment option for tuberculosis in people with advanced HIV, potentially improving adherence and outcomes.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small, early-stage validation study. The shorter regimen may not be as effective or safe as the standard longer course, and results may not apply to all patients.
