Drug development in TB requires new integrated methods to transition the novel combination regimens needed to shorten first-line therapy and combat multi-drug resistance. Although new agents are emerging, the path to registration of such regimens remains uncertain while capacity for pivotal trials is limited. Selection and optimization of drug combinations for development depends on preclinical sy ...

"Early stage Drug Discovery efforts over the last 5 years have resulted in the identification of a number of promising lead compounds in the fight against TB. These leads need to be further progressed and optimised into candidates for pre-clinical development through the Drug Development progression cascade.Three compound families are of particular interest: 1) InhA Inhibitors, 2) New potent whole ...
