Home-based care for TB prevention in children
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study tests a home-based approach to giving tuberculosis (TB) preventive treatment to children who live with someone recently diagnosed with TB. The goal is to make it easier for families to protect children from getting sick with TB.

This study tests a daily combination of two medicines, rifapentine and isoniazid, to prevent tuberculosis (TB) in children under 13 years old. It aims to see if this short treatment is safe and works well for kids, including those living with HIV.
This study tests new ways to diagnose and monitor tuberculosis (TB) in children under 15 who might have TB in their lungs. The goal is to improve how we find and treat TB so children get better faster.
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 trial tests a very short (one-month) medicine course to prevent tuberculosis (TB) in students and school staff who have been exposed to someone with active TB. If you have latent TB infection (the germs are in your body but you're not sick), this treatment aims to stop it from turning into active TB disease.
This study is testing a new way to diagnose TB in children using simple symptom checklists. It aims to see if these checklists can help doctors find TB earlier and more accurately, especially in children who are very young or have other health problems.
This trial tests if a short course of medication can prevent tuberculosis (TB) in children and teenagers who have been in close contact with someone who has active TB. The goal is to see if this approach can stop them from developing the disease.
