About the endTB project
Doctors Without Borders, and its partners i.e. Partners In Health (PIH), Interactive Researchand
Development (IRD), Epicentre, France, Institute of Tropical Medicine, Belgium and the Harvard
Medical School have launched two major clinical trials, endTB and endTB-Q which seek to
revolutionize treatment for the toughest strains of tuberculosis (TB), the worlds leading
infectious disease killer. The goal of these studies is to generate high quality evidence from a
highly heterogeneous population that could lead to a change in the global recommendations for
the management of MDR-TB.
The endTB trials are multi-country, randomized, controlled, Phase III clinical trial testing five
new, all oral, shorter duration regimens compared to the current standard of care. The aim of
the trials is to find shorter, less toxic and injection-free treatments for multidrug-resistant TB
(MDR-TB). The experimental regimens mainly rely on newly approved or repurposed drugs and
avoid drugs to which high rates of resistance have been reported in MDR-TB patient
populations.These multi-country trials are being conducted in
Georgia, India, Kazakhstan, Lesotho, Pakistan, Peru, South Africa and Vietnam. InIndia the trials
are conducted at Mumbai and Pune sites by Doctors Without Borders India in Partnership with
ICMR- National AIDS Research Institute (NARI) and in support with National Tuberculosis
Elimination Program (NTEP).
