Trial summary

Tuberculosis (TB) is the leading cause of death from infectious disease in the world, just behind HIV / AIDS. Since 2005, the department of Seine Saint Denis, the poorest of France with difficult socio-economic conditions, has the highest incidence rate in metropolitan France, higher than that of Paris.

About this study

Official title: Tuberculosis Cohort in the North of Paris: Pilot Phase

Tuberculosis (TB) is the leading cause of death from infectious disease in the world, just behind HIV / AIDS. Since 2005, the department of Seine Saint Denis, the poorest of France with difficult socio-economic conditions, has the highest incidence rate in metropolitan France, higher than that of Paris. In 2012, the rate of reporting was 10 times higher among people born abroad compared to those born in France, with the highest rates found among people born in sub-Saharan Africa and Asia.

It is proposed to establish for the first time in France a cohort of patients with TB disease to better understand the characteristics of patients with adverse treatment outcomes and propose solutions to achieve better control of TB. This study would recruit 200 patients per year for 5 years associated with 5 years of follow-up for a total duration of the study which would be 10 years. Given the economic stakes induced by such a study, a pilot feasibility study will be carried out initially. This smaller cohort over a shorter inclusion and follow-up period will make it possible to assess the feasibility of the large-scale cohort (princeps cohort) and to propose possible improvements to the protocol or questionnaire if problems arise in the future after achievement of this pilot study.

Read the detailed description

There are flagrant shortcomings in the health care pathways of patients with TB, with a significant proportion of unknown treatment outcomes, including a large number of those lost to follow-up secondary transmission, tuberculosis recurrence, and emergence from tuberculosis. resistances. Unknown treatment outcomes are treatment outcomes not reported at 12 months of treatment initiation (lost to follow-up, transfer, no information). Health actors must mobilize to better understand the characteristics of patients with incomplete treatment outcomes and to provide solutions for better control of tuberculosis in our region. This study also want to evaluate the relationship between plasma concentrations of major antituberculosis drugs (rifampicin and isoniazid) and treatment outcomes. This study propose to constitute for the first time in France a cohort of patients presenting a TB disease in order to meet these objectives.The original study would recruit 200 patients per year for 5 years associated with 5 years of follow-up for a total duration of the study estimated at 10 years. Given the economic stakes involved in such a study, a pilot feasibility study is carry out, which is the subject of this research protocol. This smaller cohort over a shorter inclusion and follow-up period will make it possible to evaluate the feasibility of the large-scale cohort, to propose possible improvements of the protocol if problems are raised at the end of the study and launch the cohort at the same time if the study is considered feasible. A cohort should be as representative as possible of the population and the pathology studied. Thus, the population to be studied here corresponds to any adult patient or child with TB disease confirmed, consulting or hospitalized in one of the six participating services, and initiating treatment in the center. As part of the pilot study, a 1-year follow-up will be conducted to assess the feasibility of the original study. This duration is appropriate and sufficient for a first evaluation of the distribution of treatment outcomes at 1 year follow-up in the context of a study, in accordance with World Health Organisation (WHO) recommendations. Nevertheless, this one-year follow-up will only partially capture the risk of tuberculosis relapses, as part of the pilot study. This, however, will indirectly reflect the quality of the patient management system and thus assess the feasibility of the original study. It is an observational study of prospective multicentric cohort type, initially piloting, then intended to be extended by a larger original study, if it is considered feasible.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of known treatment outcomes

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. number of inclusions by center

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Number of opposition to study participation among eligible patients

    Measured: 1 year

  3. Number of lost to follow-up

    Measured: 1 year

  4. Number of variables filled in for each consultation or follow-up call

    Measured: At: inclusion (Day 0), Week 2 (w2), 1st month (M1), 2nd month (M2), 6th month (M6), 12th month (M12)

  5. Genetics: identification of rare variants with strong effect for the earliest forms of pulmonary tuberculosis (before 25 y.o) and / or belonging to families with several patients and / or with recurrent forms of tuberculosis.

    secondary outcome for CO2TB patients. rare variants with strong effect will be identified with Whole Exome sequencing method

    Measured: Day 0

  6. immunology: identification of pro or anti inflammatory markers

    secondary outcome for CO2TB patients

    Measured: Day 0, week 2, month 2; at the end of treatment (month 6 or month 9 or month 12 depend on treatment duration)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pulmonary Tuberculosis and Extra Pulmonary Tuberculosis, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris 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 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 11 Aug 2026. 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?

Number of known treatment outcomes (time frame: 1 year). 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 11 Aug 2026.
