About this study

Official title: Clinical Analysis of the Patients With Cavitary Pulmonary Tuberculosis and Endobronchial Tuberculosis in the Private-Public Mix Project for Tuberculosis, Ulsan University Hospital Cohort (PPM-UUH Cohort)

This study is a retrospective cohort study. The purpose of this study is to investigate clinical features of the patients with the cavitary pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) and endobronchial TB from the patients who have been registered in this hospital for treatment and follow-up, as part of the "PPM Project (Private-Public Mix project) for Korean National Tuberculosis Control" introduced in Korea since 2007.

Read the detailed description

Cavitary pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is known to remain its Infectivity for a longer period of time than the non-cavitary pulmonary TB, which is usually almost inactivated its infectivity within two weeks after the administration of the anti - TB drugs.

However, there are few studies on this, so it is not known how long the infectivity persists, whether there is a correlation with the number of cavities or the size of the cavities between persistence of infectivity.

Meanwhile, endobronchial TB is known also to be highly infectious, unlike simple pulmonary TB.

It is not known how long infectivity can persist after the administration of anti-TB medication, and whether there is any difference in persistence of infectivity regarding the clinical characteristics of endobronchial TB.

In this study, investigators will analyze the retrospective data analysis of UUH-PPM Cohort, a cohort of PPM project patients in the Ulsan University Hospital (UUH).

The PPM project is a "Private-Public Mix project" for the eradication of tuberculosis from Korea, which the Korean government and private medical institutions have been conducting since 2007.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Tuberculosis and Tuberculosis, Pulmonary, run by University of Ulsan at 1 site in South Korea.

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 4 inclusion and 21 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 25 Jun 2019. 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 South Korea. 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?

TLSD (time frame: at baseline). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. 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 25 Jun 2019.
