Trial summary

This study will be investigating the effect of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) treatment on glucose tolerance and low-grade inflammation. Almost a century ago, researchers proposed that diabetes (DM) was associated with increased risk of Tuberculosis infection (TB). Read more about this study

About this study

This study will be investigating the effect of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) treatment on glucose tolerance and low-grade inflammation. Almost a century ago, researchers proposed that diabetes (DM) was associated with increased risk of Tuberculosis infection (TB). A more recent systematic review concluded that DM increases the relative risk for TB 3.1 times. Reversely, TB may affect the glycaemic control; TB is in many cases a chronic infection characterised by long term low-grade inflammation and weight loss, and persons with TB are known to be at risk of hyperglycaemia and DM at time of diagnosis. A latent infection with the m.tuberculosis bacteria is "silent" without symptoms.

1,7 billion have LTBI on a global scale. Event though the infected person does not experience symptoms, increased background inflammation has been shown in LTBI patients in previous studies. We also know that an increase in inflammatory markers precedes clinical development of DM, and that subclinical inflammation contributes to insulin resistance. We hypothesise that LTBI contributes to dysregulated glucose metabolism due to increased low-grade inflammation, and that treatment will reduce low-grade inflammation and improve glucose tolerance.

What is being measured

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

  1. OGTT (oral glucose tolerance test)

    Reduction in plasma glucose area under the curve during OGTT

    Measured: Time Frame: 4-6 months (depending on treatment)

Secondary outcomes (5)

  1. Changes in insulin production

    Insulin/c-peptid, HOMA-B pre and post treatment

    Measured: Time Frame: 4-6 months (depending on treatment)

  2. Changes in insulin resistance

    HOMA-IR pre and post treatment

    Measured: Time Frame: 4-6 months (depending on treatment)

  3. Changes in low-grade inflammatory markers and in adipokines

    A panel of cytokines and adipokines

    Measured: Time Frame: 4-6 months (depending on treatment)

  4. INF-gamma change

    Changes in IFN-γ levels after incubation with saline solution, TB antigen or phytohemagglutinin A Pre, during and post treatment

    Measured: Time Frame: 4-6 months (depending on treatment)

  5. Changes in body composition

    Body composition pre and post treatment measured with DEXA-scanning and/or bioimpedance

    Measured: Time Frame: 4-6 months (depending on treatment)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Rifampicin 300 Mg Oral Capsule and Isoniazid 300 Mg ORAL TABLET in people with Latent Tuberculosis and Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by Herlev and Gentofte Hospital at 1 site in Denmark.

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 5 inclusion and 9 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 16 May 2023. 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 Denmark. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

OGTT (oral glucose tolerance test) (time frame: Time Frame: 4-6 months (depending on treatment)). 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 NCT04830462, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 16 May 2023.
