Efficacy of Nyaditum Resae(R) Against Active TB in Georgia

September 3, 2017 updated by: Fundació Institut Germans Trias i Pujol

Double-blind, Randomized, Masked, Placebo-controlled, Clinical Trial to Investigate the Efficacy of the Nutraceutical Nyaditum Resae(R) Administered to Contacts of Active Tuberculosis in Georgia.

The use of a supplement food like "Nyaditum resae" is a reliable opportunity to stop the progression towards active TB through the most updated knowledge of this disease:the induction of tolerance.

In order to demonstrate the percentage of efficacy of this approach, different studies must be run to elucidate the percentage of protection in different setting all over the world. The strategy is to establish its efficacy through a simple clinical trial, aimed just to know the incidence of TB in Placebo and NR treated contacts of active TB cases.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Evaluation of a supplement food "Nyaditum resae" in the uincidence of TB. This is a ranzomized doube-blind controlled clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a supplememt food in comparison to placebo in TB.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Efficacy, incidence of confirmed cases of active TB
Time Frame: 2 years

The primary endpoint is to assess the incidence of active TB: confirmed TB cases (including extrapulmonary TB) as described as:

Clinical, radiology or histology evidence compatible with active TB plus validated Molecular Biology tests POSITIVE, or culture POSITIVE.

The GeneXpert MTB/RIF system will be used as molecular diagnostic test to identify M. tuberculosis in this trial. Although this, in case a patient is diagnosed using any other validated method (i.e.: diagnosed in a site not participating in the trial), this could be accepted if well documented Cultures will be done using validated methodologies, including both solid and liquid cultures.

An independent Endpoint Committee will be created to confirm all the TB cases.

2 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Efficacy, incidence of all cases of active TB and mortality (all causes)
Time Frame: 2 years

1. Incidence of all TB: suspected and clinical active TB, defined as:

• Suspected active TB: Do not meet the confirmed criteria but have compatible Clinical or Radiological or Pathological examinations AND supportive Microbiology (AFB positive) or non-validated Molecular Biology positive evaluations.

• Clinical active TB: In the data collected, physician starts treatment without any supporting evidence of suspected or confirmed TB.

2 years

Time Frame: 2 weeks
Number of adverse events in both arms
