Investigator-Initiated Academic Research
The Department of Respiratory Medicine, Indira Gandhi Government Medical College, Nagpur,
actively undertakes investigator-initiated research addressing critical challenges in tuberculosis care,
spanning prescription practices, treatment safety, and programmatic implementation.
These studies are conducted independently without external funding, reflecting a strong academic commitment
to generating clinically relevant and policy-oriented evidence. Collectively, they provide real-world insights
aimed at improving the quality of tuberculosis management in India.
1. PRAMAN India Study
(Prescription Review and Meta-analysis of Anti-tuberculosis treatment in Non-programmatic settings in India)
The PRAMAN India Study is a first-of-its-kind systematic review and meta-analysis evaluating anti-tuberculosis
prescription practices in non-programmatic settings across India over three decades (1990–2024). The study
synthesises evidence from multiple regions to assess the prevalence, patterns, and determinants of
inappropriate tuberculosis prescriptions.
It provides nationally representative evidence on deviations from standard treatment guidelines,
highlights variations across provider types and regions, and identifies critical gaps in treatment
practices. The findings offer important insights for strengthening tuberculosis care, improving
prescription quality, and informing policy and programmatic interventions.
The study was presented at the Asia Pacific Region Conference of the International Union Against
Tuberculosis and Lung Disease (APRC 2026), Bangkok, Thailand (5 February 2026) by
Dr. Gyanshankar Mishra, reflecting its relevance to regional and international tuberculosis discourse.

2. Linezolid Safety Study in Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis
Adverse Drug Reactions due to Linezolid in the Programmatic Management of Drug-Resistant
Tuberculosis in India: A Retrospective Multicenter Study
This investigator-initiated, multicenter study evaluated adverse drug reactions associated with linezolid
use in patients with multidrug-resistant and rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis under programmatic
conditions in India. Conducted across multiple tuberculosis units, the study provides real-world
evidence on the safety profile of linezolid in bedaquiline-based regimens.
A substantial proportion of patients experienced adverse drug reactions, particularly peripheral
neuropathy, often requiring dose modification or discontinuation. The study highlights the importance
of early detection, active drug safety monitoring (aDSM), and rational use of linezolid in
programmatic settings.

3. INH Mono-Resistant Tuberculosis Study
Treatment Outcomes of Isoniazid Mono-Resistant Tuberculosis under Programmatic Management in India
This investigator-initiated study evaluated treatment outcomes of isoniazid (INH) mono-resistant
tuberculosis using a standardized regimen under programmatic management conditions in India.
The study assessed real-world effectiveness of treatment strategies in routine healthcare settings.
The findings demonstrated favourable treatment outcomes, supporting the effectiveness of standardized
regimens for INH mono-resistant tuberculosis within national programmes. The study also underscores
the importance of appropriate drug resistance testing and systematic monitoring in optimizing treatment
outcomes. This work contributes to strengthening evidence-based management of drug-resistant
tuberculosis at the programmatic level.
The study was presented at the World Conference on Lung Health 2023 (The Union), Paris, France
by Dr. Radha Munje.
Reference:
Munje R, Mishra G, Agrawal K, Khateeb S, Jichkar S, Gour S.
Outcome of isoniazid-monoresistant TB with a new regimen under programmatic management of
drug-resistant TB in India.
The International Journal of Tuberculosis and Lung Disease.
2023;27(Suppl 1):S105.
Together, these investigator-initiated studies span the continuum of tuberculosis care—from
prescription practices and programmatic implementation to treatment safety and clinical outcomes—
providing a comprehensive evidence base to support improvements in tuberculosis management
and policy in India.
6 . C. Community Projects
Active Case Finding of Tuberculosis in Nagpur City:
A Multidisciplinary Collaborative Project (NIIDAN TB Project)
Institution:
Indira Gandhi Government Medical College and Hospital (IGGMCH), Nagpur
Period:
23 July – 31 December 2025
The Department of Respiratory Medicine actively participated in the NIIDAN TB Project,
a large-scale, multidisciplinary initiative aimed at early detection and control of tuberculosis
in Nagpur. A total of 25,283 individuals were screened through verbal assessment,
of whom 10,689 were identified as presumptive TB cases. Among these, 7,624 individuals
underwent AI-assisted chest X-ray screening, yielding 1,238 AI-suspected cases.
Subsequently, 1,376 sputum samples were collected, with 1,195 tested by RT-PCR,
resulting in the detection of 53 confirmed TB cases. Contact tracing identified
169 household contacts, of whom 139 underwent Cy-TB screening, leading to the
identification of 7 additional Cy-TB positive cases.
The Department played a key leadership and operational role in this project.
Dr. Radha Munje served as Chairman, Dr. Gyanshankar Mishra was a Core Working Group member,
and Dr. Kapil Mate and Dr. Sadaf Khatib were part of the College-Level Supervisory Committee.
The project was executed in collaboration with multiple departments, including
Microbiology, Radiology, and Preventive and Social Medicine (PSM), highlighting
a strong multidisciplinary approach to TB elimination.
