Modulating the host immune response during tuberculosis is an emerging and critical advance in the therapeutic approach. Here the authors present data from a first-in-human phase I/II randomised trial on the safety and immunogenicity of adjuvant therapy of the H56:IC31 vaccine and cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors in patients with tuberculosis.
