Detailed Description
Title: Implementation of a new Strategic TB Case-Finding, Treatment and Prevention Public Health Pack in Thailand (CapThai) Phase: IV, cluster randomized trial
Population:
adults (>= 18 years old) with pulmonary TB and their household contacts. Sites: 20 clusters (provincial hospitals) in Thailand
Duration of the study:
36 months
Subject participation duration:
9 months
Description of the intervention:
Combined active case-finding, treatment and prevention of TB amongst household contacts of TB cases, associated with initiation of SOC treatment in active TB cases and initiation of TB preventive therapy in those contacts without active TB, based on free screening. This intervention will be compared to the standard of care available in the country.
Overall objective:
To evaluate whether a public health intervention package focusing on the households of newly detected TB cases can increase active case-finding and uptake of TB preventive therapy in Thailand.
Specific objectives:
- to compare the initiation and completion of TPT regimens amongst household contacts of infectious TB patients, overall and by gender and age group;
- to evaluate the safety of short TPT regimens amongst HH contacts, overall and by gender and age group;
- to compare the detection of TB and treatment uptake for active TB amongst HH contacts of infectious TB patients, overall and by gender and age group;
- to assess the feasibility of the combined intervention among health care providers and beneficiaries, by gender and age group;
- to assess the acceptability of the combined intervention among health care providers and beneficiaries, by gender and age group;
- to evaluate the epidemiological impact of the combined intervention.
Study design:
The study uses a Stepped-Wedge Cluster Randomised Trial design. Randomisation will take place at the hospital level (cluster: provincial hospitals with >150 new TB cases/year). Twenty clusters will be enrolled and switch from the control to the intervention phase in four sequences every 3 months in a random order until all clusters are exposed to the intervention.
- Intervention Phase: Newly detected bacteriologically confirmed TB patients (≥ 18 years) will be sensitized on the importance of HH contact investigation and TB stigma reduction. They will be asked to enumerate all contacts (name/age/sex/relationship) living in their HH for>1 month at the date of TB diagnostic. Screening invitation cards will be provided for each HH contact (or caregiver for children <13 years old), inviting them to attend the TB clinic at the selected hospital for free screening and evaluation. Transportation fees will be provided. Contacts detected with active TB will receive recommended treatment. In contacts for whom active TB is formally excluded, TPT will be initiated with the new short regimens: (i) children <2 years: isonicotine hydrazine (INH)+rifampicin daily for 3 months; (ii) children 2-12 years: INH+rifapentine weekly for 3 months; (iii) children≥13 and adults: INH+rifapentine daily for 1 month.
- Control phase: current strategy relying on passive case detection and advice provided to TB patients to refer HH contacts to the TB clinic for screening. The index TB patient will be asked to enumerate HH contacts as above and inform them on the need to be screened at the TB clinic.
Endpoints:
Primary endpoint: Proportion of HH contacts with active TB excluded who are initiated on TPT within 4 weeks of the index TB patient diagnosis - overall, by age group (<15, ≥15 years) and gender.
Secondary endpoints:
- Proportion of participants initiated on TPT who completed TPT;
- Proportion of participants in the Intervention phase who were initiated on TPT for whom treatment is discontinued due to intolerance, adverse events, or severe adverse events;
- Proportion of HH contacts with newly diagnosed active TB initiated on curative treatment within 8 weeks of the index TB case diagnosis - overall, by age group (<15, ≥15 years) and gender;
- Proportion of household contacts diagnosed with TB who completed TB treatment in the intervention vs. control phase;
- Proportion of contacts receiving TPT who developed TB over the 9 months follow-up period in the intervention vs. control phase.
Estimated time to complete enrollment:
12-15 months

Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
No Intervention: Standard of Care (Control phase)
In the current standard of care in Thailand, at time of diagnosis and tuberculosis (TB) treatment initiation, TB patients are being advised to tell their household (HH) contacts to consult at the TB clinic for screening and provision of either curative or preventive treatment - according to the screening outcome.

Experimental: Tuberculosis Case-Finding, Treatment and Prevention Public Health Pack (Intervention phase)
In the selected provinces, individuals (≥18 years) with newly detected bacteriologically confirmed pulmonary Tuberculosis (index TB case) will be sensitized on the importance of HH contact investigation for detection and prevention of TB and stigma reduction. Index TB cases will be asked to enumerate all persons living in their HH for ≥1 month at the date of TB diagnostic (contact list), and provide their name/age/sex and relationship with the index case. Screening will be offered to each HH contact, using screening invitation cards that will be provided to the index TB case, to be handed over to each HH contact (or caregiver for children <13 years old). Urban and Village Health Volunteers (U/VHV),will visit the HH to enhance awareness of the importance of screening for TB case-finding and prevention and facilitate liaison with the hospital. If active tuberculosis has been formally excluded, they will be eligible to receive the Tuberculosis Preventive Treatment (TPT). |
Combined active case-finding, treatment and prevention of TB amongst HH contacts of TB cases, associated with initiation of standard of care (SOC) treatment in active TB cases and initiation of TB preventive therapy in those contacts without active TB, based on free screening.
This intervention will be compared to the standard of care available in the country.
