Testing new at-home TB checks in the clinic
Part of Infections clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be an outpatient (not currently hospitalized) and age 12 or older
- Have had a cough for at least 2 weeks OR have specific TB risk factors
- If you have TB risk factors: you must have a positive TB screening result based on the study’s rules (for example, abnormal chest X-ray)
- Not have completed TB treatment for latent or active TB in the last 12 months
- Not have taken certain TB-killing antibiotics (like fluoroquinolones) in the 2 weeks before joining
- Live within 20 km of the study site and be willing to return for follow-up visits

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 testing new ways to quickly diagnose TB in children under 15. It aims to find better tests that can be used at clinics, especially for kids who may not have obvious symptoms.
This study looks for TB bacteria in the blood of people with active tuberculosis and their close contacts at home. It aims to find better ways to detect TB early and prevent its spread.
This study aims to better understand how the immune system responds to tuberculosis (TB) and improve tools for diagnosing and managing the disease. It may help people with active TB, their close contacts, people with certain other lung diseases, or healthy individuals.
This study tests new ways to diagnose tuberculosis (TB) in both children and adults who have symptoms like a long-lasting cough. It aims to find better tools to detect TB early and help people get the right treatment faster.
