About this trial

A Exploratory Study of drug combination (zoledronic acid/interleukin 2) that specifically amplifies Vγ2Vδ2 T cells in combination with anti-tuberculosis chemotherapy for the treatment of MDR-TB.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

RR-TB/MDR-TB (resistant to at least isoniazid and rifampicin).

Poor efficacy of the original treatment regimen or no response to treatment or less than 4 effective drugs.

Disqualifiers

Immunosuppression due to co-morbidities, such as immune system disorders, tumors, etc.

Test confirms poor response to ZOL and IL-2 stimulation.

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Vγ2Vδ2 T lymphocyte-based immunotherapy

    Drug

    Intravenous injection of zoledronic acid, followed by a subcutaneous injection recombinant human interleukin. Zoledronic acid was administered 3 times and recombinant human interleukin was administered 10 times for a total of 6 months.

  • Treatment regimens for MDR-TB

    Drug

    Treatment regimens was based on the principles of the WHO guidelines for the treatment of drug-resistant tuberculosis.

Treatment groups

30 Participants
are divided into 2 treatment groups
Group A: Vγ2Vδ2 T lymphocyte-based immunotherapy +Treatment regimens for MDR-TBExperimental treatment 2 interventions
Group B: Treatment regimens for MDR-TBActive comparator 1 intervention

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Sputum smear and culture negative conversion

Sputum smear microscopy, bacterial culture. Bacterial culture was performed via a mycobacterial growth indicator tube (MGIT) using the BACTEC MGIT 960 system.

Time frame
Through study completion, an average of 24 months.

Secondary outcomes

1

Radiographic changes

Radiographic changes after treatment compared to baseline.Outcomes were defined as unchanged or deteriorated; ecovered; improved based on radiological findings compared to baseline.

Time frame
Through study completion, an average of 24 months.

Other outcomes

1

Treatment outcome

Treatment outcome assessed at the end of the treatment course according to the new definitions released by the WHO.Classified as Treatment success (cure, treatment completion); Treatment failure, Death, Loss, Inconclusive.

Time frame
Through study completion, an average of 24 months.
2

Adverse reactions

Adverse reactions to drugs: Number of patients with Grade 3 or 4 Adverse Events,using a Modified Division of Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases \[DAIDS\] Scale of Adverse Event Reporting

Time frame
Through study completion, an average of 24 months.
3

Immunological indicators

The ability of Vγ2Vδ2 T cells to produce functional cytokines was analyzed. The results were enhanced/reduced cytokine production.

Time frame
Through study completion, an average of 24 months.
