  4. The Challenge and Opportunity of Success

  5. Active TB - Strategy Shorten: 6 months to 2-3 months then Simplify: daily to weekly 130 doses 10 doses

  6. Long-term Goal Active Disease 7-10 days of treatment But - very difficult to achieve without advances in understanding the biology of “persistence”

  7. “TB Crystal Ball” All present first-line drugs (HRZE) have suboptimal profiles • pharmacokinetics • cytochrome P450 interactions • poor sterilizing activities (except R) • antagonistic interactions (E with HRZ; H with RZ) None of present first-line drugs will ultimately be part of an “optimized” regimen H = isoniazid; R = rifampin; Z = pyrazinamide; E = ethambutol

  8. Conventional TB Clinical Paradigm • Goal of a development program is to substitute one new drug for one of the conventional drugs HRZE MRZE or HRZM • Approximate (aggressive) timelines: Phase I 1 year Phase II 2 years Phase III 3 years 6 years H = isoniazid; R = rifampin; Z = pyrazinamide; E = ethambutol; M = moxifloxacin

  10. Strategic Shift Advancing novel COMBINATIONS rather than single drugs through the later drug development pipeline.

  13. “Milestones” of Combination Development Paradigm • All preclinical candidates potentially included in combination in vitro/in vivo studies • Compounds tested individually through standard Phase I and EBA studies • Phase I combination studies • EBA combination studies • Phase II and III combination studies

  14. The Unfolding Solution

  15. CFU Counts after 2 Months’ Treatment

  16. Meeting the Regulatory ChallengeTB Drug Development Forum • December 6-7, 2005 in DC area • Co-sponsored by TB Alliance, STOP TB Working Group on New Drugs and Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation • Funded primarily by unrestricted grant from AstraZeneca • Significant FDA participation; EMEA and SA MCC invited

  17. A New TB Drug Development Paradigm • Process begins at the preclinical stage once individual compounds meet preset criteria • Feasible with present technologies • Engage major regulatory authorities • Think and act “comprehensively”– all compounds are part of one large portfolio new concepts of partnerships
