Using an algorithm to stage tuberculosis
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial helps doctors organize and “stage” tuberculosis (TB) using a structured approach. It may improve how care decisions are made by using confirmed TB information and donated samples/data.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a confirmed diagnosis of tuberculosis (any TB type).
- Your TB test is positive on one of these: AFB, GenXpert, or a TB culture.
- Your TB care is currently managed at one of these hospitals: Vall d'Hebron-Drassanes or Germans Trias i Pujol (Servicios Clínicos).
- You must be willing to consent to share your TB data and samples for the study.

This trial offers free tuberculosis (TB) testing for people who are at high risk for the disease. It aims to find TB early so it can be treated quickly.
This study aims to create a tool that helps doctors predict tuberculosis by looking at patient data. It may help diagnose the disease earlier and more accurately.
This study tests rapid TB screening and lab-style diagnostic methods to see how well they find TB disease and TB that is resistant to rifampin (a key TB drug). It may help doctors diagnose TB faster and more accurately, especially in people at higher risk.
This study tests new, faster ways to diagnose tuberculosis (TB) using samples like sputum (mucus from your lungs), tongue swabs, and urine. It aims to see if these new tests can find TB more accurately than current methods, which could help you get the right treatment sooner.
This study is a registry that collects information from adults with tuberculosis in Europe. It helps researchers better understand the disease and improve care.
This study tests new tools that can check for tuberculosis (TB) more quickly at or near where care happens. It includes people with cough or TB risk factors, and also the health workers who perform TB testing, to see how well the tests work and how easy they are to use.
