Clinical Evaluation of the NanoDetect-TB Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Detection Kit for the Diagnosis of Tuberculosis Disease

Not yet recruiting
Conditions
Tuberculosis, Extrapulmonary
Tuberculosis Active
Tuberculosis, Pulmonary
Interventions
Device: NanoDetect-TB
Registration Number
NCT05981495
Lead Sponsor
NanoPin Technologies, Inc.
Brief Summary

The goal of this observational study is investigate the accuracy of the NanoDetect-TB kit in diagnosing tuberculosis (TB) using frozen serum and plasma samples collected from individuals suspected to have TB disease.

The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are:

* How does this investigational device compare to the gold standard for TB diagnosis of sputum culture?

* How does it compare to Acid-Fast Bacteria (AFB) smear microscopy and FDA-approved NAAT TB diagnostic assays?

Participants will be asked to have blood drawn and provide demographic and medical data for this study in a single visit.
