About this study

Official title: Immunological and Epidemiological Features of the Influence of Concomitant Infections on the Course and Outcome of Chronic Respiratory Diseases

The goal of the study is to determine whether vitamin D levels are associated with cytokine profiles in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis, including those with chronic pulmonary aspergillosis.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

Read more
  • Is there an association between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels and pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-4, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, TNF-α) in patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis?
  • Does this association differ in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis complicated by chronic pulmonary aspergillosis compared to those without CPA and to healthy individuals?

Researchers will compare:

  • Active pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) patients
  • PTB patients with chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (PTB-CPA)
  • Healthy control subjects

To see if differences in vitamin D levels are associated with variations in cytokine responses among these groups.

Participants will:

  • Provide blood samples for measurement of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D
  • Undergo laboratory assessment of cytokines (IL-1β, IL-4, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, TNF-α) using ELISA
  • Be classified into study groups based on clinical diagnosis (PTB, PTB-CPA, or healthy controls)

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Correlation between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentration and cytokine levels

    To evaluate the correlation between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels and circulating cytokine concentrations, including IL-1β, IL-4, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, and TNF-α, in patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis with and without chronic pulmonary aspergillosis.

    25-hydroxyvitamin D measurement: Serum concentration (ng/mL), measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

    Cytokine measurements: Serum concentrations (pg/mL) of IL-1β, IL-4, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, and TNF-α, measured using multiplex immunoassay or ELISA.

    Statistical analysis: Correlation will be assessed using Pearson's or Spearman's correlation coefficient (r), depending on data distribution.

    Measured: At baseline (single time-point measurement at enrollment)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Prevalence of vitamin D deficiency

    Prevalence of participants with vitamin D deficiency across study groups based on standard cut-off values.

    Measured: At baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pulmonary Tuberculoses and Chronic Pulmonary Aspergillosis, run by Research Institute of Epidemiology, Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, Uzbekistan at 1 site in Uzbekistan.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Apr 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Uzbekistan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Correlation between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentration and cytokine levels (time frame: At baseline (single time-point measurement at enrollment)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 Apr 2026.
