Question to the Department for International Development:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what they are doing to support the development of a new tuberculosis treatment regimen.
This question was answered on 27th November 2014
The UK Government is a strong supporter of research to develop new tuberculosis (TB) treatment regimens and has funded the Global Alliance for TB Drug Development (TB Alliance) since 2005. The TB Alliance has three TB treatment regimens in late stage clinical development and will soon launch one of those into a registration study. In addition the TB Alliance is adapting existing regimens so that they can be used for children with TB.
