About this study

Official title: Performance of Xpert MTB/RIF and XDR Assay for Diagnosis of Pulmonary Tuberculosis.

To determine how accurate Xpert MTB/RIF and XDR for diagnosis of pulmonary TB and Rifampicin resistance

Read the detailed description

Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the major public health threats, competing with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) as the cause of death due to infectious diseases worldwide.

Tuberculosis (TB) is the leading cause of death by a single pathogen worldwide. In 2019, 1.2 million people died from TB among HIV-negative patients, 208 000 among HIV-positive patients and 10 million were estimated to have fallen sick, although only 70% were diagnosed The gap between TB notifications and estimated existing cases is still unacceptable. The low TB case detection rate in many high-burden settings urgently demands effective strategies and tools to identify TB patients and ensure their linkage to healthcare

MDR Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB), caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis that is resistant to both isoniazid and rifampicin with or without resistance to other drugs

  • According to current World Health Organization and the International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease estimates, the median prevalence of MDR-TB has been 1.1% in newly diagnosed patients. The proportion, however, is considerably higher (median prevalence, 7%) in patients who have previously received anti-TB treatment.
  • XDR tuberculosis is caused by a strain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis resistant to isoniazid and rifampin (which defines MDR tuberculosis) in addition to any fluoroquinolone and at least one of the three following injectable drugs: capreomycin, kanamycin, and amikacin

What is being measured

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

  1. To detect the performance of xpert MTB/RIF for detection of pulmonary tuberculosis and detection of rifampicin resistant • to detect the diagnostic accuracy of XDR in diagnosis of INH and rifampicin resistance in positive cases of xpert MTB /RIF

    All Patients with respiratory symptoms suggestive of pulmonary TB will go for • Sputum for

    • acid fast bacilli
    • culture (the gold standard )
    • Gene xpert or ultra expert
    • XDR (For positive gene xpert or ultra xpert to detect the accuracy of gene xpert in diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosios and rifampicin resistant

    Measured: baseline

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To assess the frequency of Xpert Ultra trace positive results . to investigate the effect of smear positive and smear negative on test accuracy

    to know the accuracy of gene xpert in related to sputum sample of acid fast bacilli

    Measured: baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Tuberculosis, Pulmonary, run by Assiut University.

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Apr 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Mohamed Esmat (01064780592, drmhmddr@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To detect the performance of xpert MTB/RIF for detection of pulmonary tuberculosis and detection of rifampicin resistant • to detect the diagnostic accuracy of XDR in diagnosis of INH and rifampicin resistance in positive cases of xpert MTB /RIF (time frame: baseline). 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 30 Apr 2024.
