Study of gene activity in spinal tuberculosis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Infections clinical trials.
This trial looks at patterns of gene activity (from blood/tissue samples) in adults with spinal tuberculosis. The goal is to better understand the disease and how to tell different conditions apart, which may help future care.

This study looks at immune system blood tests in adults being treated for active tuberculosis and/or latent tuberculosis infection. The goal is to see if these “immune biomarkers” can help guide or improve tuberculosis management.
This study tests different treatment plans for people with tuberculosis (TB) that can be cured with standard medicines. It aims to find the best treatment for each person based on their risk score, which may lead to shorter or more effective treatment.
This study looks at how the immune system reacts in people with tuberculosis (TB), their close contacts, people with other lung diseases, and healthy volunteers. It aims to find better ways to diagnose and manage TB.
This study tests new, faster ways to detect tuberculosis (TB) using phlegm, tongue swabs, or urine. It aims to find a simpler and more accurate test than current ones, which could help you get the right treatment sooner.
This study follows people with suspected or confirmed tuberculosis (TB), whether they have inactive “latent” TB or active TB. It helps researchers better understand TB’s natural course and may improve future testing and care by allowing collection and storage of samples.
This study looks at how the immune system and natural germs in the lungs work in people who have recently been in close contact with someone with active tuberculosis (TB). It aims to better understand how the body responds to TB exposure.
