Why study TB meningitis?
545 adults with TBMConservative estimate: 100,000 cases each year
![Page 6: TB meningitis: the clinical research agenda - oucru.org · High-dose Rifampicin for the Treatment of Tuberculous Meningitis: a Dose- finding Study (ReDEFINe) (Indonesia – not recruiting)](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062601/5d4f604e88c99354248bb757/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Why study TB meningitis? The human model
• In hospital care (1-2 months)• Serial cerebrospinal fluid
(CSF) samples• Serial brain imaging with CT
and MRI• High ‘event’ frequency
![Page 7: TB meningitis: the clinical research agenda - oucru.org · High-dose Rifampicin for the Treatment of Tuberculous Meningitis: a Dose- finding Study (ReDEFINe) (Indonesia – not recruiting)](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062601/5d4f604e88c99354248bb757/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
TBM is a medical emergency
Treatment before the onset of coma is the greatest benefit a physician
can give a patient with TBM

The problem: rapid diagnosisClinical algorithms CSF ZN stain, microscopy, culture
GeneXpert
Can we get to this?
![Page 9: TB meningitis: the clinical research agenda - oucru.org · High-dose Rifampicin for the Treatment of Tuberculous Meningitis: a Dose- finding Study (ReDEFINe) (Indonesia – not recruiting)](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062601/5d4f604e88c99354248bb757/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Key research questions• Is GeneXpert ULTRA more sensitive than current
GeneXpert for TBM diagnosis?
• How will we rapidly detect drug resistant bacteria?
• Will NGS technologies (e.g.MinION) allow rapid bacterial detection and drug resistance?
• Are there novel host/bacterial biomarkers?

Current and future clinical research priorities
Prevention• Vaccine: Adult/HIV-infected
Diagnosis• High sensitivity; resistance detection
Treatment• PK optimised regimens; old and new drugs• Can we improve upon corticosteroids?• Precision/personalised anti-inflammatory therapy?• Evidence-based critical care
