Front cover, endTB Interim Analysis Report
Bedaquiline- and delamanid- containing regimens achieve excellent interim treatment response without safety concerns: This report presents the results of three different analyses (a safety analysis, a delamanid analysis, and an injectables analysis) to improve the evidence base for using bedaquiline and delamanid in drug-resistant TB regimens. Available in English, Spanish, and Russian.

Publication: The endTB observational study protocol: treatment of MDR-TB with bedaquiline or delamanid containing regimens

At a time when programs were struggling to design effective regimens for the treatment of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB), the marketing authorization of bedaquiline and delamanid was a critical development in the MDR-TB treatment landscape. However, despite their availability for routine programmatic use, the uptake of these drugs has remained slow; concerns included a lack of evidence on safety and efficacy and the need to protect the new drugs from the development of acquired resistance. As part of the endTB Project, we aimed to address these barriers by generating evidence on safety and efficacy of bedaquiline or delamanid based MDR-TB regimens.

Out of Step: TB policies in 29 countries, 3rd Ed. (2017)

Although it can be prevented and successfully treated, tuberculosis (TB) is the world’s deadliest infectious disease: in 2015, 1.8 million people died from it. While there have been substantial and important innovations in the fight against TB, including faster, more accurate diagnostic tests and the first new medicines in nearly 50 years, deadly gaps remain in implementing and providing access to these advances.
