 ACTG NEW WORK CONCEPT SHEET (NWCS) 575: Evaluation of biomarkers to predict TB-IRI
REFNo: HS4876ES

1. Determine whether higher levels of a set of biomarkers in people with HIV and tuberculosis prior to ART initiation may predict the development of TB-IRIS, particularly severe IRIS requiring corticosteroid treatment
2. Assess whether these biomarkers decrease between study entry and ART initiation in the deferred arm (i.e. with more prolonged anti-tuberculous therapy duration)
3. Determine whether these biomarkers can be predictive of other severe outcomes especially deaths.
