The Global Alliance for TB Drug Development (the TB Alliance) is an international product development partnership (PDP) created to accelerate the discovery and development of new anti-tuberculosis (TB) drugs that are widely adopted, affordable, and available to all those who need them. In pursuit of the not-for-profit mission of the TB Alliance, these drugs should achieve one or more goals:
- Shorten or simplify the treatment of TB
- Provide a more effective treatment of drug-resistant TB
- Be compatible with antiretroviral therapies for those HIV-TB patients currently on such therapies
- Improve treatment of latent TB
Tuberculosis is one of the world's top killers, claiming a life every 20 seconds. Today's TB drugs are more than 40 years old, and must be taken for six months to over 2 years. Long, demanding treatment schedules prove too much for many patients and the resulting erratic or inconsistent treatment breeds drug resistance, giving rise to multi- and extensively- drug-resistant TB (MDR-TB and XDR-TB), which are exponentially more expensive and difficult to treat.
Based in New York City, with offices in Belgium and South Africa, the TB Alliance functions as a virtual R&D organization through strategic relationships with pharmaceutical companies, academic institutions, research labs and contract service providers. With an annual operating budget of approximately $60 million, the TB Alliance is leading the advancement of the most comprehensive portfolio of TB drug candidates in history. Currently, a portfolio of more than 20 projects spans from target validation to Phase III clinical development. The TB Alliance is committed to ensuring that approved new regimens are affordable, adopted, and available to those who need them so the TB Alliance and its partners are working with global, regional, and national stakeholders to ensure regulatory approval, adoption by TB programs, and widespread availability of new drug regimens.
