Phase 3 — Testing in thousands of people, comparing the treatment against what doctors currently use. This is the last big step before approval.
This study is testing whether an enhanced TB prevention program—which includes preventive treatment for people at high risk, more intensive health screening, and community education—can help reduce tuberculosis cases faster in Ethiopia. Researchers want to see if this combined approach works better than standard TB care alone, and whether communities and health workers find it acceptable and affordable.
Tuberculosis remains a major public health problem in Ethiopia, and current efforts aren't reducing cases fast enough to meet the goal of ending the TB epidemic by 2035. This study is designed to find better, more effective ways to prevent TB from spreading, especially among vulnerable groups like household contacts of people with TB and people living with HIV.

If you join this study, you'll be part of either the new enhanced TB prevention program or the standard TB care program. The enhanced program includes more frequent health screening in your community, preventive TB treatment if you're at risk, and educational sessions about TB prevention. You'll need to be available for study visits and allow researchers to contact you by phone or in person to check on your health and gather information about how well the program is working.
