Synergising TB Drug and Diagnostic Development

Detecting and treating TB go hand in hand. In order to most effectively and responsibly use new drug regimens, diagnostics that can detect drug-resistance are needed. Similarly, enhanced methods of detecting various forms of TB are of reduced value without appropriate treatment. TB Alliance and FIND are collaborating to harmonize development of these new tools.

Leveraging Resources

Every dollar donated to the TB Alliance produces $1.60 in impact. The TB Alliance is committed to making its donors' contributions go as far as possible. A network of partners and series of innovative initiatives ensures maximum impact of donor funds, while helping to intensify the fight against TB.

Regimen Development

The TB Alliance isn’t just developing drugs, but changing the way TB drug development is conducted. New TB multi-drug regimens show promise in offering dramatically faster, simpler, safer, and less toxic therapies that enable global scale-up of treatment, particularly for MDR-TB.

Clinical Trial Sites Assessment

There are simply not enough high-quality sites that can undertake the sophisticated clinical trials needed to test new TB drugs. The TB Alliance scoured the world to find the most appropriate sites, and shared that information, so that sponsors can advance promising products in the pipeline.

Discovery of Biomarkers (CTB2)

The TB Alliance is working with the U.S. CDC TB Trials Consortium and the AIDS Clinical Trials Group of the U.S. NIAID, NIH, to identify biomarkers for TB, which can dramatically speed the time and decrease the cost of clinical trials for new TB drugs.

Collaborating with PDPs

Partnership is at the foundation of the TB Alliance’s operating model. With this in mind, the TB Alliance collaborates with several Product Development Partnerships (PDPs) to establish cross-PDP partnerships that foster innovation and efficiencies along with the sharing of information and resources.
