The TB TSG Scientific Agenda 1.0 To identify regimens to shortenDrug-Susceptible TB treatment to 3 months in patients with and without HIV TB TREATMENT SHORTENING 2.0 To identify regimens for MDR TB treatment in <6 months in patients with and without HIV MDR-TB TREATMENT 3.0 To identify regimens to treat latent TB in 1 month and MDR-TB infection in 6 months; to improve latent TB therapy in HIV-infected individuals PREVENTIVE THERAPY
The TB TSG Scientific Agenda 4.0 To optimize the treatment of TB/HIV co-infection To evaluate and minimize drug-drug interactions TB/HIV CO-TREATMENT 5.0 Pharmacology Biomarkers Laboratory monitoring and diagnostics Host-directed therapies TRANSFORMATIVE SCIENCES
