Monitoring Compassionate Use of New Drugs for Tuberculosis (2016) With support from the Firland Foundation, RESIST-TB investigated mechanisms for accessing drugs prior to regulatory approval and surveyed key providers and advocates on their experience attempting to gain access to new TB drugs through compassionate use or similar pre-approval mechanisms. The findings from this project are detailed in this report, "Monitoring Compassionate Use of New Drugs for Tuberculosis.
