Overall costs of the DR-TB regimen are particularly driven by capreomycin, moxifloxacin, PAS, and cycloserine. • For most DR-TB drugs, patents are not typically a factor in causing high prices, because the medicines were developed so long ago that patents on most have long run out. However, moxifloxacin is a notable exception—until now, Bayer’s monopoly has kept prices high. • Some DR-TB drug prices have increased considerably between 2001 and 2011, including for the medicines procured through the GDF for GLC-approved treatment programs. This is true of the prices of amikacin (the most affordable source in 2011 costs eight times more the most affordable source in 2001), kanamycin (six times more), cycloserine, and capreomycin (both three times more). 1 MDR-TB Drug Prices Current TB Therapy and Unmet Needs Patient Population Current Therapy Unmet Needs Drug-Susceptible TB 4 drugs; ≥6 month therapy Shorter, simpler therapy Drug-Resistant M(X)DR-TB Few drugs (including injectables); ≥18 months therapy; toxicities Totally oral, shorter, more efficacious, safer and lower cost therapy TB/HIV Co-Infection Drug-drug interactions with HIV medications Ability to co-administer TB regimens with ARVs Latent TB Infection 6-9 months of treatment Shorter, safer therapy 4 drugs; ≥6 month therapy Shorter, simpler therapy with pediatric-friendly dosing Children ► Significant improvements in therapy are needed for all patient populations 1 The Global TB Development Pipeline From the Stop TB Partnership Working Group on New Drugs 14 Tuberculosis Diagnosis: Then and Now The Future of TB Diagnostics Xpert MTP/RIF – Xpert MTB/RIF : • Level of the Health system: Peripheral laboratory, at district and sub-district level (intended for use in secure facilities with a reliable source of electricity) • For LICs and MICs FIND negotiated a 75% reduction relative to the market price: • $16.86 per cartridge • $17,000 - $17,500 per Instrument • But • Not the POC diagnostic that is needed. The TB Test We Need • Point-of-care: easy to perform in peripheral health centres • Detect active TB in adults regardless of HIV status • Improved diagnosis of TB in children • Result that allow decision on treatment initiation • Patient can receive result on the same day Intermediate level Lab Peripheral level 2007 2008 10-40% 70% 95% 2009 Abbreviations DST: Drug susceptibility test NAAT: Nucleic acid amplification test LTBI: Latent TB infection POC: Point of care MODS: Microscopic observation drug-susceptibility NRA: Nitrate reductase assay CRI: Colorimetric redox indicator assay LED: Light-emitting diode LPA: Line probe assay 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 Technologies or methods endorsed by WHO Technologies at late stages of development Technologies at early stages of development % Access after 5 years Distance from Patients Reference level Tonight!
