FDA advisory panel recommends approval of TB Alliance’s tuberculosis treatment

  09 June 2019

Independent experts of an FDA advisory panel voted in favor of the not-for-profit TB Alliance’s treatment for drug resistant tuberculosis, as a part of a three-drug combination regimen.

The panel on Tuesday voted 14-4 when asked to assess the treatment, pretomanid, in combination with Johnson & Johnson’s bedaquiline and linezolid for multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) and extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB).

Although the U.S. health regulator is not bound to follow the advice of its advisory panels, it usually does so.
