Accelerating the Development of pan-TB Regimens

Successfully treating TB can be complex and challenging. New regimens with little to no drug resistance – known as pan-TB regimens – create a simpler and more effective treatment pathway for all people diagnosed with TB.

The Project to Accelerate New Treatments for Tuberculosis (PAN-TB) is the first collaboration of philanthropic, non-profit and private-sector organizations that aims to accelerate the identification of promising pan-TB regimens and conduct research through phase 2b/2c clinical trials. These pan-TB regimens will be designed to have improved safety and tolerability, a shorter duration, and simpler to use than existing treatment options.

Preclinical study data now accessible courtesy of the Critical Path Institute 

Data from the PAN-TB Collaboration’s 2020-2023 pharmacokinetic and relapsing mouse model (RMM) studies are now available through the Critical Path Institute Data Archive platform. These preclinical studies evaluated the combination pharmacokinetics and the combination efficacy of novel four-drug combinations of seven priority anti-TB drugs and drug candidates: Bedaquiline (B), Pretomanid (Pa), Sutezolid (Sut), GSK286 (286), GSK830 (830), Delamanid (Del) and Quabodepistat (Q) (formerly OPC-167832 or OPC). 

 Study data currently available: 

  • Pharmacokinetic evaluations of novel 4-drug anti-TB drug combinations in mice with multiple dosing frequencies to inform RMM studies, in addition to evaluations of comparator drug combinations
  • Relapsing mouse model evaluations of novel 4-drug anti-TB drug combinations

 All available data is mapped to the Clinical Data Interchange Standards Consortium (CDISC) Standard for Exchange of Nonclinical Data (SEND).

Researchers can request access to the data by following the link below. All access requests are reviewed by a committee and may take up to four weeks to process. New data will be added as they become available.
