Outline
Why a fourth edition New recommendations Integrating MDR prevention, diagnosis, and treatment into the National TB Program (NTP) Implementation: what will it take?
with smear negative or MDR disease (formerly Category 3, 4) Detection and treatment of MDR-TB should be an integral part of NTP activities

Strength of recommendations
Strong ( should ): desirable effects clearly outweigh undesirable
High quality evidence, large certain benefit
Weak: insufficient evidence (based on field application and expert opinion) Not rated: quality of evidence not assessed using GRADE methodology

11
Benefits outweigh risks (possible increase in acquired MDR, which could be mitigated by strengthening patient support) Cost to supervise R in continuation phase may be offset by savings from avoiding retreatments Patients will value disease-free survival

Acceptable alternative for any new TB patient receiving DOT (Conditional) 3 times Acceptable alternative (Conditional) per week provided the patient is: receiving DOT, and not living with HIV or in an HIV prevalent setting Note: Daily intensive-phase dosing may help prevent acquired drug resistance in TB patients starting treatment with isoniazid resistance
13
*also for TB patients living in HIV prevalent settings, defined as countries, subnational administrative units or selected facilities where the HIV prevalence among adult pregnant women is > 1% or > 5% among TB patients

Drug resistance
In new patients In countries with high levels of isoniazid resistance in new patients, how prevent MDR? In previously treated patients Which (if any) groups of patients should receive a retreatment regimen with first line drugs?
20
It s common: Globally, 7% of new patients resistant to at least isoniazid (but not yet to rifampin).

Approach to retreatment Use DST results to decide if MDR regimen needed Start empiric regimen while awaiting DST results. Once DST results available, may change regimen. Use empiric regimen for full course of treatment.

MDR likelihood (patient registration group) Type of High Medium (after failure) (relapse, default) DST Rapid DST results guide choice of regimen from the start While awaiting DST results (empiric): MDR regimen 2HRZES/HRZE/5HR Conventiona E l Modify on basis of DST results once available None Interim: See section 3.7.3
28
1st line drug retreatment regimen for patients in groups with medium levels of MDR, pending DST results (rec #7)
Example: 30% of relapse patients have MDR Benefit: retreatment regimen with first line drugs is not supported by evidence from clinical trials Harm: 30% with MDR will be inadequately treated while awaiting DST results

How high a level of MDR in a group warrants starting an empiric MDR regimen while awaiting DST results?*
Policy decision for each NTP based on factors such as: Number of MDR-TB patients the country has the capacity to enroll in MDR treatment Short term risk of death from MDR-TB due to concomitant conditions (especially HIV)
*If rapid molecular based testing not available
31
During treatment
If new patients are sm+ at months 2, 3 (rec #5) If previously treated patients are sm+ at month 3 (rec #5)

Prevention of MDR
Prevent transmission of MDR: Early detection, MDR treatment Avoid acquiring MDR during treatment: Adequate patient support and supervision Fixed dose combinations (FDC), patient kits Daily intensive phase dosing (rec #2,4) Intermittent dosing no longer an option for retreatment with first line drugs May use HRE continuation phase if high levels H resistance in new patients (rec #3)
