Brief Summary

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

As part of the ongoing efforts within the Rapid Research in Diagnostics Development for TB Network (R2D2 TB Network) study, the Candidate Clinical Correlate as Prognostic Outcome for TB (C3PO) study serves as a supplement aimed at evaluating predictors and novel biomarkers of recurrent TB among TB survivors. Current tools for predicting TB recurrence risk are suboptimal, limiting the ability to assess new TB treatment regimens effectively. Identifying accurate sputum- or blood-based biomarkers for recurrence risk could significantly improve the efficiency and informativeness of Phase 2 and 3 clinical trials.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The Candidate Clinical Correlate as Prognostic Outcome for TB Study (C3PO) supplements the ongoing Rapid Research in Diagnostics Development for TB Network (R2D2 TB Network) study by identifying and accelerating novel TB diagnostics at various stages of development and across different use cases. There is an urgent need for treatments that can cure all forms of TB more quickly. However, the development of new, shorter, and more effective antibiotic regimens is hindered by the limitations of current methods used to assess treatment effectiveness in TB drug trials. The standard pharmacodynamic (PD) marker-sputum culture-does not predict clinical outcomes well, fails to detect residual Mycobacterium tuberculosis that causes relapse, and takes 6-8 weeks to provide results. New PD markers that more accurately predict clinical outcomes would help de-risk clinical trials and ensure that only the most effective new regimens move forward. C3PO aims to evaluate non-culture PD markers in predicting recurrent TB among patients who have completed the global standard HRZE regimen for drug-susceptible pulmonary TB under routine programmatic settings.

Interventions

Learn about the drugs, procedures, or behavioral strategies being tested and how they are applied within this trial.

RS ratio

We will evaluate the non-culture, sputum-based assay RS ratio, which measures ongoing Mycobacterium tuberculosis activity by quantifying the abundance of precursor rRNA relative to mature rRNA (an indicator of active rRNA synthesis).

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Blood-based host immune response assays

We will evaluate blood-based assays measuring host immune response parameters for predicting mycobacterial activity.
