About this study

Official title: Effect of Active Hexose Correlated Compound to Clinical and Immunological Response in Tuberculosis-HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) Infection

Background

Active Hexose Correlated Compound is assumed to have a positive effect on immunity, including induce a phagocytic response, reduce tumor resistance, and cytokine response including interferon-gamma and interleukins. Tuberculosis patients with concurrent Human immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) might have benefit when receiving active hexose compound during tuberculosis treatment

Purposes

  1. To assess the clinical changes of patients who receive active hexose compound as an adjuvant to tuberculosis therapy in patients with HIV
  2. To assess the difference of pro-inflammatory cytokines between standard therapy and active hexose compound adjuvant

Methods A clinical trial involving patients with Tuberculosis-HIV infection

Hypothesis

  1. Clinical improvement is significantly different where the group who receive active compound will have the better clinical outcome
  2. Lower proinflammatory cytokines are observed in people who receive active compound

Control GroupNo interventionParticipant will be given only the tuberculosis and antiretroviral treatment

What is being measured

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

  1. Sputum Conversion Duration

    Sputum conversion duration defined as the duration to change positive result in sputum smear into negative results. The sputum smear level using Ziehl Neelsen ranging from Negative to 3+.

    Measured: six month after the intervention started

  2. Chest X-Ray Extension

    Distribution of active tuberculosis feature in Chest X-Ray including number of consolidation and cavitation

    Measured: Changes of number of active tuberculosis feature from baseline to 6 months

  3. Interleukin 6 Level

    Value of Interleukin 6 in blood Sample

    Measured: Changes of Interleukin 6 Level from baseline to 6 months

  4. Interleukin 10 Level

    Value of Interleukin 10 in blood Sample

    Measured: Changes of Interleukin 10 value from baseline to 6 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Cluster Differentiation 4 (CD4) cells value

    Cluster Differentiation 4 (CD4) cells value in blood sample

    Measured: Changes of Cluster Differentiation 4 (CD4) cells value from baseline to 6 months

  2. Cluster Differentiation 8 (CD8) cells value

    Cluster Differentiation 8 (CD8) cells value in blood sample

    Measured: Changes of Cluster Differentiation 8 (CD8) cells value from baseline to 6 months

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?

Sputum Conversion Duration (time frame: six month after the intervention started). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT05100758, which also lists 4 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?
