Can a new patient cohort unlock the secrets of TB treatment success?
NCT ID NCT04236349
First seen Aug 11, 2026 · Last updated Aug 12, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This pilot study aims to test the feasibility of creating a large-scale cohort of tuberculosis (TB) patients in northern Paris, an area with high TB rates. Researchers will collect blood samples and clinical data from 30 participants over the course of their treatment to understand patient characteristics and treatment outcomes. The goal is to identify factors that may lead to adverse outcomes and ultimately improve TB control in the region.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- blood sample collection for immunogenetic analysis
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this pilot could pave the way for a large-scale TB cohort in France, helping identify factors linked to poor treatment outcomes and informing better TB control strategies.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small pilot study focused on feasibility, not treatment efficacy. It may not capture all relevant patient characteristics, and findings may not generalize beyond the specific population in northern Paris.
