Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

We propose a randomised trial among pulmonary TB patients, examined and treated as part of the national TB control programme (WHO, 2003). The aim is to improve TB treatment outcome in high TB and HIV burden countries. The overall objective of the proposed trial is to assess the effect of nutritional support on TB treatment outcomes, and to assess the role of diabetes on risk and severity of TB, and TB treatment outcomes. The study will be conducted in Mwanza Tanzania. All patients will initially be examined for HIV and diabetes. A total of 500 found pulmonary TB smear-positive (PTB+) and HIV positive (HIV+) will be randomised to a daily supplement of 1 versus 6 energy-protein bars throughout treatment, both with full multi-micronutrient (MN) content. A total of 1500 found pulmonary TB smear-negative (PTB-, irrespective of HIV status) and PTB+ and HIV negative (HIV-) will be randomised to 1 daily energy-protein bar containing either low or high MN content.

No micronutrients

Biscuit without additional micronutrients

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Multimicronutrients

Intervention Type DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Randomised, double-blind trial among pulmonary TB patients, except those who are found to be sputum positive and HIV positive. Both arms received a daily biscuit weighing 30 g (4.5 g protein, 615 kJ). The biscuit given to the No micronutrient-arm contained no additional micronutrients. The biscuit given to the Micronutrient-arm contained the following micronutrients: vitamin A 5000 IU, vitamin B1 20 mg, vitamin B2 20 mg, vitamin B6 25 mg, vitamin B12 50 microg, folic acid 0.8 mg, niacin 40 mg, vitamin C 200 mg, vitamin E 60 mg, vitamin D3 5 µg / 200 IU, selenium 0.2 mg, copper 5 mg, and zinc 30 mg. The intervention was given for 60 days during initial TB treatment.

Micronutrients

Biscuit with additional micronutrients

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Multimicronutrients

Intervention Type DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Randomised, double-blind trial among pulmonary TB patients, except those who are found to be sputum positive and HIV positive. Both arms received a daily biscuit weighing 30 g (4.5 g protein, 615 kJ). The biscuit given to the No micronutrient-arm contained no additional micronutrients. The biscuit given to the Micronutrient-arm contained the following micronutrients: vitamin A 5000 IU, vitamin B1 20 mg, vitamin B2 20 mg, vitamin B6 25 mg, vitamin B12 50 microg, folic acid 0.8 mg, niacin 40 mg, vitamin C 200 mg, vitamin E 60 mg, vitamin D3 5 µg / 200 IU, selenium 0.2 mg, copper 5 mg, and zinc 30 mg. The intervention was given for 60 days during initial TB treatment.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Energy and proteins

Intervention Type DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Randomised, single-blind trial among sputum-positive HIV-coinfected pulmonary TB patients. Both arms received a daily for biscuit weighing 30 g (4.5 g protein, 615 kJ), with micronutrients (vitamin A 5000 IU, vitamin B1 20 mg, vitamin B2 20 mg, vitamin B6 25 mg, vitamin B12 50 microg, folic acid 0.8 mg, niacin 40 mg, vitamin C 200 mg, vitamin E 60 mg, vitamin D3 5 µg / 200 IU, selenium 0.2 mg, copper 5 mg, and zinc 30 mg). The experimental arm received an additional 5 biscuits without additional micronutrients. Thus, both arms received the same amount of micronutrients. However, the intervention arm received 3690 kJ and 27 g protein per day, while the control arm received 615 kJ and 4.5 g protein. The intervention was given for 60 days during initial TB treatment.

The experimental arm received an additional 5 biscuits without additional micronutrients. Thus, both arms received the same amount of micronutrients. However, the intervention arm received 3690 kJ and 27 g protein per day, while the control arm received 615 kJ and 4.5 g protein. The intervention was given for 60 days during initial TB treatment.
