Tuberculosis

Tuberculosis: Evaluate novel approaches for TB prevention, diagnosis and treatment in infants, children, adolescents and pregnant and postpartum women with and without HIV that will lead to optimal dosing and regimens, licensing and decreased morbidity and mortality.

Priorities include:

Evaluating the efficacy, PK and safety of new and shorter drug regimens to prevent drug-susceptible and drug-resistant TB in infants, children, adolescents and pregnant and postpartum women with and without HIV
Evaluating the efficacy, PK, safety and acceptability of new drug regimens, optimizing existing drug dosing and evaluate novel drugs to treat drug-susceptible and drug-resistant TB disease in infants, children, adolescents and pregnant and postpartum women with and without HIV
Evaluating novel tools for the diagnosis of active TB, correlates of TB treatment response and markers of disease progression in infants, children, and adolescents with and without HIV
Evaluating novel TB vaccines for prevention of TB disease in infants, children, adolescents and pregnant women
