An interventional study of Multiple blood samples and Single blood sample in Tuberculosis and Tuberculosis Infection, sponsored by Hospices Civils de Lyon. Recruiting at 1 site in France. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-08-12.

Tuberculosis (TB) is the leading cause of death by infectious disease in the world, responsible for 1.6 million deaths in 2017. The treatment of active TB requires at least a 6-month combined antibiotic regimen and can cause heavy side effects. As a consequence, treatment adherence is not optimal, particularly in primary care settings. Rapid and reliable monitoring of anti-TB treatment adherence and efficacy is critical to provide adequate patient care and curb relapse episodes and acquired drug resistance.
Investigators propose to evaluate the performance in terms of diagnosis accuracy and outcome prediction of four new biomarkers of active TB: 1) a double IGRA (Interferon Gamma Release Assay) including QuantiFERON-Gold Plus® and HBHA; 2) a whole blood transcriptomic analysis of mRNA (messenger Ribonucleic acid) expression of a panel of 150 genes; 3) a whole blood proteomic analysis; 4) an ex vivo immunophenotyping using flow and mass cytometry to characterize the lymphocyte populations.
1,417 studies on the registry are indexed under Tuberculosis; 208 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 60 is below the median of 150 across 952 interventional studies indexed under Tuberculosis.

Exclusion Criteria:
Other: Multiple blood samples
Other: Single blood sample
Patients with active tuberculosis will have 5 research-specific blood samples: V1, (baseline) immediately before initiating anti-tuberculosis treatment, then 4 samples during anti-tuberculosis treatment and follow-up, i.e. at 48 hours (V2), 15 days (V3), 2 months (V4) and 6 months (V5) after initiation of treatment. The total volume of each sample will be 20 mL for a total of 100 mL.
Patients with Latent tuberculosis infection will have a single specific sample of 14 mL.
Concordance of the kinetics of biomarkers with the evolution of the disease
It is a composite outcome. Evolution of the disease is defined by clinical status, radiological computed tomography evolution and negation of the mycobacterial culture of routine respiratory samples. The biomarkers assessed are: 1) a combination of IGRAs test (QuantiFERON-Gold Plus and HBHA); 2) a transcriptomic signature; 3) a protein signature; 4) a phenotypic signature (by implementing an immunomonitoring approach).
Time frame: 6 months
Analytical characteristics of a combination of 2 IGRAs (QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus (QFT-P) and HBHA) in the diagnosis / prognosis of tuberculosis disease.
Measurement of gamma interferon responses induced by different conditions of ex-vivo stimulation of the blood sample by specific Mtb peptides. This biomarker will be confronted with the evolution of the evolution of the disease as defined in the primary outcome measure.
Time frame: 6 months
Performance of an immunomonitoring test by mass or flow cytometry in the diagnosis / prognosis of tuberculosis by measuring the dynamics of the blood population of T lymphocytes over time.
Qualitative and quantitative monitoring of the different subpopulations of immune cells (CD4 + T cells, CD8 +(cluster of differentiation 8) T cells, MAIT, Th1, Th2, Th1, Tfh, Treg, naive, effector and memory cells) during anti-tuberculosis treatment will be carried out. The analytical characteristics (sensitivity, specificity, VPN and VPP) of this immunomonitoring tool will be determined by comparing the abundance of different cellular phenotypes with the evolution of the disease as defined in the primary outcome measure.
Time frame: 6 months
Evaluate the performance of a test based on the interpretation of a transcriptomic signature in plasma in the diagnosis / prognosis of TB.
A transcriptomic signature in plasma is a set of genes involved in the immune response specifically deregulated during the different stages of infection and disease progression. This assessment will be made from blood samples. The transcriptomic signature composed of 16 genes will be evaluated during the anti-tuberculosis treatment and confronted with the evolution of the disease as defined in the primary outcome measure.
Time frame: 6 months
Assess the performance of a test based on the interpretation of a protein signature in the diagnosis / prognosis of tuberculosis.
A protein signature is composed of cytokines and chemokines, also deregulated during the various stages of infection and progression of the disease. This assessment will be made from blood samples. The protein signature composed of cytokines / chemokines of interest (ie IP-10, TNF-a (tumor necrosis factor - a), IL-1(interleukin - 1), IL-18, IL-12, CCL4, IL-2, IFN-g (interferon - g),...) will be evaluated during the anti-tuberculosis treatment and confronted with the evolution of the disease as defined in the primary outcome measure.
Time frame: 6 months
Determine the achievement of target concentrations of rifampicin
To determine the achievement of target concentrations of rifampicin the pharmacokinetic profile of rifampicin will be evaluate by a combination of parameters such as the area under the curve, maximum and minimum concentration, clearance, volume of distribution, modeled from three concentration measurements at each visit. (V2, V3 and V4).
Time frame: 6 months
Establish the rate of metabolic self-induction of rifampicin
To establish the rate of metabolic self-induction of rifampicin the pharmacokinetic profile of rifampicin will be evaluate by a combination of parameters such as the area under the curve, maximum and minimum concentration, clearance, volume of distribution, modeled from three concentration measurements at each visit. (V2, V3 and V4).
