Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Main Objective: We propose that DM or impaired glucose tolerance in persons with latent tuberculosis infection( LTBI), is driven by LTBI induced chronic low-grade inflammation. Eradication of LTBI should therefore improve glucose metabolism and reduce chronic inflammation biomarkers. <br><br>The objectives of the present study are to determine if eradication of LTBI will:<br><br>I.Improve glucose tolerance<br>;Secondary Objective: The objectives of the present study are to determine if eradication of LTBI will:<br><br>II.Reduce markers of low-grade inflammation;Primary end point(s): Primary endpoint: <br>•Change in glucose tolerance<br>;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Subjects treated with RIF:<br>OGTTs will be performed at the start of the treatment phase +-7 days, and at week 16 +- 7 days. <br><br>Subjects treated with INH:<br>OGTTs will be performed at the start of the treatment phase +-7 days, and at week 24 +- 7 days. <br><br>Results will be evaluated at the end of trial
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Secondary end point(s): Secondary endpoints:<br>•Changes in insulin production <br>•Changes in insulin resistance<br>•Changes in low-grade inflammation<br>•Changes in microRNA (miRNA) expression<br>•Changes in QFT <br>•Changes in body composition<br><br>;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Subjects treated with RIF:<br>Blood samples will be drawn at the start of the treatment phase +-7 days, at 8 weeks +-7 days after the start of the treatment phase, and at 19 weeks +- 7 days.<br><br>Subjects treated with INH:<br>Blood samples will be drawn at the start of the treatment phase +-7 days, at 12 weeks +-7 days after the start of the treatment phase, and at 27 weeks +- 7 days. <br><br>Results will be evaluated at the end of trial<br>
