The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of single oral doses of TBA-354 when administered to healthy adult subjects.
Background: -Tuberculosis (TB) is an infection of the lungs caused by bacteria. In Mali, TB is diagnosed with a test that is fast and inexpensive but not always accurate. The purpose of this study is to test a new method for diagnosing TB, called the microscopic-observation drug-susceptibility (MODS) test. The MODS test takes 7 days to show results. The test also gives information on which drugs will work best in each case. Objective: -To test a new method for diagnosing tuberculosis called the microscopic observation drug susceptibility test. Eligibility: * Participants must be 12 years of age or older. * They must have a diagnosis of TB from a sputum smear, or have symptoms of TB and an x-ray indicating that TB is present. Design: * Participants will take part in the study from 6 months to 21 months and be assigned to one of three groups, depending on what type of TB they have. * At the first visit, researchers ask questions about general health and symptoms of TB. They check vital signs, draw blood, and ask for a sputum sample. The blood is used to check for HIV infection and for the number of CD4 cells, which measures the severity of the HIV infection. * The 2-, 5-, and 6-month visits are similar to the first. Those who do not have multidrug-resistant (MDR) TB will end their participation after the 6-month visit. MDR TB is tuberculosis that has not responded to isoniazid and rifampicin. Participants with MDR TB will remain in the study for 21 months. * No treatment is provided as part of this study.
Protocol Synopsis The goal of this Phase 2 clinical trial is to evaluate the antimicrobial activity and safety of an experimental intensive phase (first 8 weeks of treatment) tuberculosis treatment regimen in which rifapentine is substituted for rifampin. Primary Objective * To compare the antimicrobial activity and safety of standard daily regimen comprised of rifampin (approximately 10 mg/kg/dose) + isoniazid + pyrazinamide + ethambutol (RHZE) to that of an experimental regimen comprised of rifapentine (approximately 10 mg/kg/dose) + isoniazid + pyrazinamide + ethambutol (PHZE). Secondary Objectives * To determine and compare for each regimen the time to culture-conversion, using data from 2-, 4-, 6-, and 8-week cultures (10, 20, 30, 40 doses). * To determine and compare for each regimen the proportion of patients with any Grade 3 or 4 adverse reactions * To determine the correlation of the MGIT/BACTEC liquid culture growth index and other mycobacterial and clinical biomarkers with time to culture conversion and treatment failure * To store serum for future assessment of biomarkers of TB treatment response and hypersensitivity to study drugs. * To compare adverse events and 2-month culture conversion rates among HIV-infected patients vs. HIV-uninfected patients * To determine the tolerability and safety, and estimate the antimicrobial activity, of experimental regimens that include isoniazid + pyrazinamide + ethambutol plus either rifapentine 15 mg/kg/dose or rifapentine 20 mg/kg/dose, all administered daily. Assessment of these doses of rifapentine will be performed as an extension to the main study after enrollment in the main study has been completed. Design This will be a prospective, multicenter, open-label clinical study. Adults suspected of having pulmonary tuberculosis who meet eligibility criteria will be randomized to receive either the experimental intensive phase tuberculosis treatment regimen or the standard intensive phase tuberculosis treatment regimen. Randomization will be stratified by presence/absence of cavitation on baseline chest radiograph, and by geographic continent. All doses of study drugs will be given under direct observation and administered 5 days per week. After a subject completes intensive phase therapy, he/she then will be treated with a non-experimental continuation phase tuberculosis treatment regimen. The study extension will be a prospective, multicenter clinical trial. Eligibility criteria will be the same as for the main study. Participants will be randomized to one of four regimens: the standard intensive phase treatment regimen, an investigational regimen in which rifapentine 10 mg/kg/dose is substituted for rifampin, an investigational regimen in which rifapentine 15 mg/kg/dose is substituted for rifampin, or an investigational regimen in which rifapentine 20 mg/kg is substituted for rifampin. Randomization will be stratified by the presence/absence of cavitation on baseline chest radiograph, and by study site. Study drugs will be administered 7 days per week. After a subject completes intensive phase therapy, he/she then will be treated with a non-experimental continuation phase tuberculosis treatment regimen. Subjects will have blood drawn for one pharmacokinetic determination of rifapentine concentration at or after the week 2 visit during intensive phase therapy. This study is being conducted in 2 phases. 1. The main study compares a 10 mg/kg dose of rifapentine, open label, against 10 mg/kg rifampin in an otherwise standard intensive phase regimen of treatment for pulmonary tuberculosis. The projected sample size was 480 enrollments; 530 patients were actually enrolled. 2. The study extension evaluates higher doses of rifapentine, with the specific rifapentine doses (10 mg/kg, 15 mg/kg, and 20 mg/kg) blinded to patients and clinicians, with data collection and endpoints otherwise similar to the main study. The projected sample size for the study extension is 320 enrollments.
To compare alternative methods to ensure completion of treatment and preventive therapy for tuberculosis (TB) in inner cities, and to identify the most cost-effective methods to accomplish that. The basis for comparison included adherence rates and cost savings as primary outcomes, and other parameters such as patient satisfaction, development of social networks, and participation in support programs as secondary outcomes. Two clinical trials were conducted with patients from Harlem. Among those with active disease, a clinic-based surrogate family model was compared to traditional community-based directly observed therapy (DOT). Among those eligible for preventive therapy, a community-based intervention conducted by trained graduates of a TB DOT program (peer workers) was compared to traditional self-administered preventive treatment.
This is a multi-center clinical trial evaluating the effect of transbronchial mediastinal cryobiopsy for its ability to improve the likelihood of obtaining tissue sufficient for molecular analysis. Patients in outpatient clinics or pre-operative holding areas planning to undergo a bronchoscopic biopsy of a suspected malignant lesion (peripheral or mediastinal) for initial diagnosis, staging, or tissue acquisition for molecular analysis will be considered for enrollment and consented. Patients will only be enrolled if intraoperative ROSE suggests malignancy. Patients will be randomized to continue with the operator's initial EBUS-TBNA needle or switch to a cryoprobe to perform a sampling.

Evaluation of the anatomic extent of a primary lung cancer and presence of metastasis are essential for selection of an appropriate management strategy. Endobronchial ultrasound transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is a reliable and established technique to evaluate involvement of mediastinal lymph nodes (LN); however, it is an invasive procedure and may not be tolerated in patients with severe underlying lung disease. One exception is the superficially located supraclavicular lymph nodes (SCLN), which can easily be biopsied with percutaneous US-guided-fine needle aspiration (US-FNA). Traditionally, this nodal group is evaluated by palpation; however, literature suggests that palpation itself fails to capture 66% of proven disease by cytology, which challenges the acceptance that non-palpable nodes are indicative of absent disease. Since all palpable SCLN are biopsied to rule out metastasis, we may potentially up-stage more patients using ultrasound evaluation for non-palpable nodes; and offer more appropriate management. Currently, the incidence for non-palpable SCLN metastasis has not been defined in this patient population presenting for EBUS-TBNA. The primary objective is to determine the incidence of supraclavicular lymph node metastasis by ultrasound evaluation in patients referred for EBUS-TBNA.
This is a Phase 1/2, open-label, first-in-human (FIH) study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and preliminary antineoplastic activity of pralsetinib (BLU-667) administered orally in participants with medullary thyroid cancer (MTC), RET-altered NSCLC and other RET-altered solid tumors.
This clinical trial studies how well endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) after positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scan works in diagnosing patients with stage I-IIA non-small cell lung cancer evaluated for stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). Performing EBUS-TBNA after PET/CT scan may help doctors learn more about the accuracy and ways to find early stage lung cancer.
This research study compares two ways to biopsy lymph nodes in the chest using endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration" (EBUS-TNBA). During a EBUS-TBNA procedure, the patient is sedated, and a flexible camera and ultrasound probe is inserted through the mouth into the large airways of the chest, allowing us to see (via ultrasound) and biopsy the lymph nodes in the chest. The purpose of this research study is to determine if the EBUS-TBNA procedure can be made simpler. In today's practice, the biopsy needle has two parts, 1) the needle itself and 2) an inner stylet that runs through the middle of the needle. Because many other biopsy needles (such as the needles used in breast biopsy and different types of lung biopsy needles) do not use an inner stylet, the investigators do not think the use of a stylet is necessary. If this step can be safely eliminated without decreasing the effectiveness of the procedure, this could shorten the procedure (saving time). This study is deigned to formally test the hypothesis that a stylet is not necessary in EBUS-TBNA.
The goal of this study is to demonstrate the feasibility of using a novel, validated panel of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) histology-predictive genes (the "A/S signature) as a diagnostic tool for use with small-volume Fine Needle Aspirate (FNA) biopsies. Objectives: 1. To establish FNA biopsy requirements for FNA-based subtype classification of NSCLC. 2. To define a "fixed statistical model" of histologic subtype prediction in NSCLC. Study methods: To establish FNA biopsy requirements for gene expression-based subtype classification of NSCLC, patients with presumed newly diagnosed NSCLC, where radiographic studies and clinical description favor a probable diagnosis of NSCLC, will undergo FNA biopsy according to current standard techniques . For this part of the study, approximately 40 biopsies of confirmed NSCLC will be collected for analysis. To define a fixed statistical model of histologic subtype prediction in NSCLC, we will prospectively collect 50 FNAs. These FNAs will represent Adenocarcinoma (AC) and Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) cases at a ratio of approximately 1:1. Additional cases of not otherwise specified (NOS), should they be encountered, may also be collected for later analysis. FNA samples qualified based on cell number or ribonucleic acid (RNA) yield (depending on the findings of our primary objective)will be assayed on the QGS platform.
Primary Objective: To compare, at the completion of the follow-up phase, the clinical and bacteriologic relapse rates associated with the two study regimens. Secondary Objectives: To compare the clinical and bacteriologic failure rates of the two study regimens at the completion of the study phase therapy. To compare the clinical and bacteriologic response rates for the two study regimens among patients who began study phase therapy with signs and symptoms of tuberculosis or cultures positive for M. tuberculosis. To compare the toxicity associated with the two study regimens by comparing discontinuation rates due to adverse events and occurrence rates of signs and symptoms associated with adverse events during study phase therapy. To compare mortality rates of the two study regimens. To compare the rates of completion of therapy within 22 weeks for the two study regimens. To compare the rate of development of drug-resistant tuberculosis in the two study regimens among study patients classified as treatment failures or relapses. To compare all of the above performance characteristics for the two study regimens in a small subset of HIV seropositive patients. To compare attitudes and beliefs about participation in this study between patients who complete study therapy and those who fail to complete study therapy.
The objectives of this research are to determine: * the burden of intestinal parasitic infections among persons living with pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) * whether intestinal parasitic infections alter TB treatment outcomes, including speed of sputum clearance and treatment outcomes * the impact of malnutrition on speed of sputum clearance and TB treatment outcomes * whether nutritional supplementation improves speed of sputum clearance and treatment outcomes In this study the researchers will investigate how intestinal parasites impact the nutritional status of TB patients before the start of nutritional supplementation and how they alter the trajectory of weight gain in those receiving supplementation by analyzing results from 2 cohorts. LEOPARD Cohort 1- * Control-Enroll TB cases, screen for undernutrition, obtain stool for intestinal parasite screening by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and assess them for treatment outcomes and weight gain * TB LION (Learning Impact of Nutrition) - Enroll TB cases, provide nutritional supplementation for 6 months (as part of existing TB LION study), screen for undernutrition, obtain stool for intestinal parasite screening by PCR, and assess them for treatment outcomes and weight gain LEOPARD Cohort 2 - * Enroll TB cases, screen for undernutrition, obtain stool for internal parasite screening by PCR, and assess them for treatment outcomes and weight gain.
Tuberculosis has been shown to make immune genes inaccessible and slows immune response The purpose of this research is to see if if azacitidine is safe and can return the ability of the body to resist tuberculosis (TB), a contagious infection that attacks the lungs. Individuals with tuberculosis are being asked to participate. Some will receive a drug to restore a host immunity while others can choose to receive standard of care. All patients will continue to receive standard of care tuberculosis therapy regardless of whether they chose to participate in the study. This study is a Phase Ib/IIa single-institution, open-label, non-randomized clinical trial of sub-cutaneous azacitidine in pulmonary TB patients during the continuation phase of ATT.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity in healthy adult subjects of an investigational vaccine being developed for the prevention of pulmonary tuberculosis. The vaccine, identified as ID93 + GLA-SE, consists of the recombinant four-antigen Mycobacterium tuberculosis recombinant protein ID93 together with the adjuvant GLA-SE.
This is an open-label, first-in-human study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and preliminary anti-tumor activity of selpercatinib (also known as LOXO-292) administered orally to participants with advanced solid tumors, including rearranged during transfection (RET)-fusion-positive solid tumors, medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) and other tumors with RET activation.
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single ascending dose study conducted at one study center in the United States. Four (4) cohorts of 8 subjects each (6 active and 2 placebo). Subjects will participate in only one cohort. Safety will be assessed throughout the study; serial ECGs and serial blood samples will be collected for the safety and PK assessment of sutezolid. Dose escalation to the next cohort (i.e., dose level) will not take place until the Sponsor, in conjunction with the Principal Investigator, has determined that adequate safety, tolerability and PK from the previous cohort has been demonstrated to permit proceeding to the next cohort. Interim PK analyses will be performed for the dose escalation decisions to reconsider the sampling time points as the study progresses. All samples will be sent for analysis and the bioanalytical lab will be unblinded and only run the analysis on active treatment subjects. Data from the analysis used for the escalation meetings will only include active treatment subjects, and will be blinded by subject. Subjects will be housed in the clinic from at least 24 hours prior (from Day -2), until 48 hours (Day 3) after dosing. Subjects will be contacted via a phone call for follow-up questioning about adverse events 7 days later (Study Day 10).
This trial studies how well radial-probe endobronchial ultrasound works in detecting the complete or partial collapse of the lung in patients undergoing peripheral bronchoscopy. Diagnostic procedures, such as radial-probe endobronchial ultrasound and bronchoscopy, use a thin, tube-like instrument inserted through the nose or mouth to view and take pictures of the inside of the trachea, air passages, and lungs.
The goal of this clinical research study is to compare the effectiveness of a smaller, 25-gauge needle when used in an endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) instead of a standard 22-gauge needle. The safety of the needles will also be studied.
