This study is looking for better ways to tell if tuberculosis treatment has actually cured someone—beyond the standard tests doctors use today. Researchers want to find new blood tests and lab markers that can predict treatment success more accurately and quickly than current methods, so future patients can get faster cures.
Current tuberculosis tests take 6–8 weeks to show results and sometimes miss people who still have the infection hiding in their bodies, leading to relapse. Better tests would help doctors know sooner if a treatment is working and help speed up the development of shorter, more effective treatment plans.

You would provide blood or sputum samples and possibly other lab tests after completing your standard tuberculosis treatment. The research team would then follow you over time to see which new test markers best predict whether your treatment actually cured you. You would need to return for multiple study visits to allow researchers to compare the new tests with your actual health outcomes.
