Trial summary

The study assesses patients with cured pulmonary tuberculosis by compulsory notification data of Uberlândia (Minas Gerais state - Brazil) from 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015. These patients will be invited by telephonic contact. Read more about this study

About this study

The study assesses patients with cured pulmonary tuberculosis by compulsory notification data of Uberlândia (Minas Gerais state - Brazil) from 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015. These patients will be invited by telephonic contact. After eligibility and exclusion criteria evaluation, those included will be assessed in order to know structural and functional repercussions of pulmonary tuberculosis sequelae.

Read the detailed description

This study evaluates structural and functional repercussions of pulmonary tuberculosis sequelae by chest imaging (computed tomography and radiograph), functional respiratory tests (spirometry and six minute walking test) in patients with cured pulmonary tuberculosis.

Medical subject headings
Tuberculosis, Pulmonary

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Correlation between extent of pulmonary disease by computed tomography and lung volumes by spirometry

    High resolution computed tomography of the lungs will be evaluated by radiologists and the extent of pulmonary abnormalities will be score subjectively.

    Spirometry will permit assessment of lung volumes: forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) and forced vital capacity (FVC).

    Measured: At least one year after completion of the tuberculosis treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pulmonary Tuberculosis, run by Federal University of Uberlandia at 1 site in Brazil.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Feb 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Brazil. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Correlation between extent of pulmonary disease by computed tomography and lung volumes by spirometry (time frame: At least one year after completion of the tuberculosis treatment). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Feb 2018.
