| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Number of Participants With Clinical Signs/Symptoms Indicating TB With a Positive CST001 Assay Result as an Indication of Clinical Sensitivity | At time of enrollment | Subjects who have clinical signs/symptoms indicating TB and who are receiving or have to start the treatment for active TB were tested. Subjects who were presenting with symptoms suggestive of TB disease and who have a positive acid-fast bacillus (AFB) smear or have Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) in a specimen detected by nucleic acid amplification (NAA) or MTB complex Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), and who have received treatment for no more than 14 days upon enrollment. |
