Trial summary

Tuberculosis (TB) is a major cause of death among the "communicable" diseases in the world. Pulmonary TB, the main localization, leads to the dissemination of cases. An earlier diagnosis of contagious pulmonary TB is a cornerstone to stop the air transmission. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Comparative Study Between the Classical Strategy and a Faster, Daily Collection for the Diagnosis of Contagious Pulmonary Tuberculosis

Tuberculosis (TB) is a major cause of death among the "communicable" diseases in the world. Pulmonary TB, the main localization, leads to the dissemination of cases. An earlier diagnosis of contagious pulmonary TB is a cornerstone to stop the air transmission. The aim of the study will be to compare two strategies, in patients with a chest-X-ray in favour of contagious pulmonary TB: the classical strategy of sputa collection during three consecutive early mornings, versus the studied strategy of sputa collection at hour h, hour h+1, hour h+2 during the first early morning.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a major cause of death among the "communicable" diseases in the world. Pulmonary TB, the main localization, leads to the dissemination of cases. An earlier diagnosis of contagious pulmonary TB is a cornerstone to stop the air transmission by starting earlier treatment. The aim of the study will be to compare two strategies, in patients with a chest-X-ray in favour of pulmonary TB: the classical strategy of sputa collection during three consecutive early mornings, versus the studied strategy of sputa collection at hour h, hour h+1, hour h+2 during the first early morning.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing sputum collection for acid fast bacilli in people with Pulmonary TB, run by Hopital Lariboisière at 1 site in France.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 28 Apr 2017. 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 France. 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?

Comparison between the sensitivities of the two strategies for detection of Acid fast bacilli (AFB) on direct stain (time frame: one year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02961569, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 28 Apr 2017.
