1 What can be done against XDR-TB? Dr Matteo Zignol Stop TB Dep. World Health Organization Geneva 16 th Swiss Symposium on tuberculosis Münchenwiler, 22 March 2007

2 XDR-TB Extensive Drug Resistance XDR = Resistance to at least INH and RIF (MDR) PLUS resistance to three of the six classes of second-line anti-tb drugs. Of 17,690 isolates from 49 countries during % were MDR and 2% were XDR XDR found in: USA: 4% of MDR Latvia: 19% of MDR S Korea: 15% of MDR XDR found in Southern Africa associated with HIV

3 Second-Line Drug Classes for MDR TB Treatment Aminoglycosides Amikacin, Kanamycin Polypeptides Capreomycin First line drugs + Fluoroquinolones Thioamides Serine analogues Ciprofloxacin, Ofloxacin Ethionamide, Prothionamide Cycloserine PAS WHO. Guidelines for the programmatic management of drug-resistant tuberculosis

4 Number of MDR and XDR Cases, Latin America MDR 543 XDR 32 (6%) Ind. Nations MDR 821 XDR 53 (6%) E. Europe MDR 406 XDR 55 (14%) Asia MDR 274 XDR 4 (1%) Rep. Korea MDR 1298 XDR 200 (15%) Africa, Middle East MDR 156 XDR 1 (< 1%) Isolates contributed to survey Total MDR= 3520; XDR= 347 (~ 10% of MDR)

5 Global XDR-TB Task Force New definition Principles: Public health surveillance Reliable DST methodology Clinical relevance Relatively simple XDR = Resistance to at least INH and RIF (MDR) PLUS resistance to fluoroquinolones, AND one of the second-line injectable drugs (amikacin, kanamycin, or capreomycin) Global XDR TB Task Force Meeting.

10 What can be done against XDR-TB? 1. Strengthen basic TB and HIV/AIDS control, to avoid creation of MDR-TB and XDR-TB 2. Scale-up programmatic management of MDR-TB and XDR-TB 3. Strengthen laboratory services for adequate and timely diagnosis of MDR-TB and XDR-TB 4. Expand MDR-TB and XDR-TB surveillance 5. Introduce infection control, especially in high HIV prevalence settings 6. Strengthen advocacy, communication and social mobilization 7. Pursue resource mobilization at global, regional and country levels 8. Promote research and development into new diagnostics, drugs and vaccines Global XDR TB Task Force Meeting. Oct 9, 2006

28 8. Promote research and development into new diagnostics, drugs and vaccines No global "movement" attempting at convening basic scientists involved in upstream research or implementers involved in operational research Scarcity of funds (1/10 of HIV R&D devoted to TB) and scarcity of coordination and debate world-wide Without basic science, research in immunology, pathogenesis, genomics etc, scarcity of products to get into pipeline for development Most people involved in control activities have no interest in advocating for intensified and well financed research

29 8. Promote research and development into new diagnostics, drugs and vaccines MDR-TB and XDR-TB diagnosis based on long and old procedures, at times unreliable - lack of new rapid culture and DST (in developing countries) Defaulting a major issue in many programmes due to long duration of treatment - long intermittency or shorter regimens not available - no new drugs MDR/XDR-TB/HIV co-infection - interactions between 2 nd line anti-tb drugs and ARVs largely unknown A largely ineffective vaccine

30 Conclusions The next steps to control XDR-TB 1. Strengthen basic TB and HIV/AIDS control, to avoid creation of MDR-TB and XDR-TB 2. Scale-up programmatic management of MDR-TB and XDR-TB 3. Strengthen laboratory services for adequate and timely diagnosis of MDR-TB and XDR-TB 4. Expand MDR-TB and XDR-TB surveillance 5. Introduce infection control, especially in high HIV prevalence settings 6. Strengthen advocacy, communication and social mobilization 7. Pursue resource mobilization at global, regional and country levels 8. Promote research and development into new diagnostics, drugs and vaccines Global XDR TB Task Force Meeting. Oct 9, 2006
