Blood test before bronchoscopy to help detect tuberculosis
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial studies a simple blood test that looks for signs of tuberculosis before you have a bronchoscopy, a procedure that lets doctors look inside your lungs. The blood test may help doctors find tuberculosis faster and more easily.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have a breathing or lung problem that your doctor says needs a bronchoscopy
- You have a negative sputum (phlegm) test for tuberculosis or you are unable to produce sputum for the test

This study tests a new blood or fluid test (cell-free DNA) to find tuberculosis (TB) in people who have new fluid buildup around their lungs. If you are 18 or older and scheduled for a procedure to drain that fluid, you may be able to join.
This study tests a new blood test that looks for TB DNA to see if it can help diagnose tuberculosis in people who have fluid around one lung. If the test works, it might make diagnosing TB faster and less invasive.
This study looks for TB DNA in blood and urine samples to see if it can help diagnose tuberculosis (TB) more quickly. It includes people with active TB, those with a latent (hidden) TB infection, and healthy volunteers without TB.
This study is looking at how a simple blood test can help monitor tuberculosis (TB) treatment. It may help doctors know sooner if the treatment is working.
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 is testing a new way to diagnose tuberculosis (TB) without needing sputum (phlegm) samples. It aims to find a simpler, faster method for people with possible TB or other lung infections.
