Clinical Evaluation of the NanoDetect-TB Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Detection Kit for the Diagnosis of Tuberculosis Disease
- Conditions
- Tuberculosis, ExtrapulmonaryTuberculosis ActiveTuberculosis, 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.

Group Intervention Description TB Suspects NanoDetect-TB TB Suspects recruited to this study will have blood drawn in a single visit.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method NanoDetect-TB result compared to sputum culture Single visit for patient for blood draw. The investigational device results will be compared to the primary reference of sputum culture for determining relative sensitivity and specificity.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method NanoDetect-TB result compared to AFB Smear and NAAT Single visit for patient for blood draw. The investigational device results will be further compared to the AFB Smear and NAAT for determining relative sensitivity and specificity.
