Programmatic Management of Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis: An Updated Research Agenda (May 2016)

 There are numerous challenges in delivering appropriate treatment for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) and the evidence base to guide those practices remains limited. This piece presents the third updated Research Agenda for the programmatic management of drug-resistant TB (PMDT), assembled through a literature review and survey.

Global MDR-TB Clinical Trials Landscape Meeting Supplement

(2016) Based on the results of the first global MDR-TB Clinical Trials Landscape meeting held in 2014, this supplement includes a collection of manuscripts that address key topics including both methodological issues and agent-specific reports. These articles provide an in-depth discussion of the rationale behind current MDR-TB clinical trials as well as important insights to drive future research.

Monitoring Compassionate Use of New Drugs for Tuberculosis

 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.
