Report of the WHO technical consultation on innovative clinical trial designs for evaluating new TB preventive treatments
The World Health Organization (WHO) Global Tuberculosis Programme, in collaboration with University College London and other partners, convened a virtual technical consultation from 15 to 17 September 2021 that focused on innovative clinical trial designs that could be used for evaluating new tuberculosis (TB) preventive treatments (TPTs).
The objectives of the meeting were to identify and summarize challenges in designing future TPT trials and to explore innovative designs that could facilitate advances in biomedical TB preventive interventions and would complement similar developments in other fields relevant to TB prevention. The consultation brought together researchers, academics, technical partners, trialists, regulators, guideline developers, programme managers, nongovernmental organizations and civil society.
