Registration Number
NCT02984579
Lead Sponsor
Foundation for Innovative New Diagnostics, Switzerland
Brief Summary

This is a multi-center, blinded study to determine the performance of the YD Diagnostic Corporation (YD) REBA MTB-MDR® and Hain Genotype MTBDRplus V2 kit in a total of 600 clinical isolates and 900 residual sputum samples from patients with symptoms of pulmonary TB (PTB) and at risk of drug resistance. All testing was done on stored, de-identified leftover samples.
