dean replies: "the endTB clinical trial found 3 new all-oral drug regiments with similar efficacy and safety to current conventional treatments while reducing the treatment time by up to two-thirds. they will allow for more individualized treatment centred on patients. and for the first time in the care of multi-drug resistant tuberculosis, these treatments can be used in nearly all cases of MDR-TB, including in children, adolescents, adults, and pregnant people."

multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) is a form of tuberculosis that is particularly difficult to treat due to resistance to the 2 most powerful firstline antibiotics. many people are still treated with conventional treatments that are long (up to 24 months), ineffective, and often cause terrible side effects.

every year, there are about 500,000 new cases of MDR-TB worldwide - but only a tiny fraction are successfully treated. the endTB trial, led by MSF (médecins sans frontières/doctors without borders), PIH (partners in health) and IRD (interactive research and development), funded by Unitaid, and featuring 754 participants in 7 countries is a randomized, controlled trial designed to provide high-quality evidence on new, all-oral, shortened drug regimens.

one of the new regimens was found to be even more effective than current conventional treatments. the new trial also added an additional 4th regimen as an alternative for people who can’t tolerate some TB drugs.

there are now — for the first time ever! — 5 all-oral regimens that are effective against MDR-TB in 9 months or less and which are as good or better than a contemporary standard-of-care control. if recommended by WHO, they can be used in nearly all cases of MDR-TB, including children, adolescents, adults, and pregnant people, a first in MDR-TB care. two of the non-inferior regimens cost under $400, and a third costs under $600, for the full course of treatment.

Multistakeholder Hearings in preparation of the General Assembly High-level Meetings on the Fight against Tuberculosis, Pandemic Prevention, Preparedness and Response and Universal Health Coverage - General Assembly, 77th session.

The half-day interactive hearing on the Fight against Tuberculosis will be divided into an opening segment, two interactive panel discussions and a closing segment.

Opening segment

Panel 1: Fast-tracking multisectoral and multistakeholder action to ensure universal access to equitable, high-quality, people-centered TB services.

Panel 2: Mobilizing adequate and sustainable financing to ramp up the TB response, and advance research and innovation.

Closing segment

The emergence of new epidemic diseases increased geopolitical conflict, the collapse of trade leading to famine and shortages of essential goods, the intensification of ecological degradation and climate change – taken in isolation, any of these trends would pose a serious challenge to global health and prosperity, but the evidence of the past few decades tells us that these trends are increasingly interacting in complex and unpredictable ways.

The purpose of the hearing is to get views from all stakeholders on these dimensions of pandemic preparedness prevention and response:

- on urgent actions and investments needed in and by all sectors, in pandemic prevention, preparedness and response - provide a key opportunity to identify how the political declaration of the high-level meeting can provide political support to the processes underway in Geneva - bring focus to the multi-sectoral nature of pandemics and the need to galvanize a whole of government and whole of society approach, which will contribute to accelerating progress towards achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.

As part of the preparatory process for the high-level meeting, the President of the General Assembly will convene an interactive multi-stakeholder hearing with the support of the World Health Organization (WHO) and other relevant partners with a view to ensuring the most effective and efficient outcomes and potential deliverables and to sharing experiences and lessons learned to address remaining implementation gaps.
