Precision biomarker-guided management of TB contacts
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at how to best manage latent tuberculosis (TB) infection using a test that finds people at risk. It aims to help doctors and patients make better decisions together.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have been tested for latent TB infection, or you are eligible for testing
- You are in one of these groups: a migrant from a high-TB country (entered UK within 5 years), a recent close contact of someone with TB, or someone who needs TB screening before starting immune-suppressing medicines or for occupational health

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial is looking for adults who might have tuberculosis, a related infection called non-tubercular mycobacteriosis, or a hidden (latent) tuberculosis infection. You will provide a sample for testing, and the study will help doctors understand and manage these infections better.
This study tests a new type of lab test to find TB bacteria more accurately. It is for people who are being checked for latent (hidden) TB infection, or who have just been diagnosed with active TB. The goal is to see if the new test can help doctors diagnose TB better and faster.
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.
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 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 aims to help find and start TB prevention medicine for people who have been in close contact with someone sick with TB. The goal is to protect more people, especially children, from getting sick.
