Background: Treatment for fluoroquinolone-resistant multidrug-resistant/rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis (pre-XDR TB) often lasts longer than treatment for less resistant strains, yields worse efficacy results, and causes substantial toxicity. The newer anti-tuberculosis drugs, bedaquiline and delamanid, and repurposed drugs clofazimine and linezolid, show great promise for combination in shorter, less-toxic, and effective regimens.
More than six years ago, the endTB clinical trial was launched to find shorter, more tolerable, injection-free treatments for people with MDR-TB. Join us at the Union World Conference 2023 in Paris for the endTB clinical trial results presentation!

endTB Observational Study had sites in 17 countries. In each country, sites enrolled patients on treatment with bedaquiline and delamanid according to National TB Program guidelines, while collecting clinical and bacteriological data on efficacy and safety. Because many of the endTB Observational Study tools were found to be useful for clinicians and programs that were starting to use the new TB drugs and regimens, we made them freely available at the endTB website.
This guide is designed to give guidance to the endTB Project site on the use of new TB drugs bedaquiline and delamanid. It is intended to be a resource for physicians and other health care professionals involved in the endTB project. Every effort possible has been made to ensure that the material presented here is accurate, reliable, and in accord with current standards. However, as new research and experience expand our knowledge, recommendations for care and treatment change.
This MSF Access Campaign report – the eighth in this series – examines the current landscape and trends of DR-TB drug pricing and patents, and highlights challenges and opportunities to accelerate people’s access to lifesaving regimens that are shorter, all-oral and make use of the most effective medicines.
Background: Concomitant use of bedaquiline (Bdq) and delamanid (Dlm) for multi-drug/rifampicin resistant tuberculosis (MDR/RR-TB) has raised concerns about a potentially poor risk-benefit ratio. Yet this combination is an important alternative for patients infected with strains of TB with complex drug resistance profiles or who cannot tolerate other therapies. We assessed safety and treatment outcomes of MDR/RR-TB patients receiving concomitant Bdq and Dlm, along with other second-line anti-TB drugs.
