NEW YORK/GENEVA, SEPTEMBER 3, 2021—The World Health Organization (WHO) recently released new guidance recommending that children of all ages with drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) have access to all-oral treatment using the drugs bedaquiline (produced by Johnson & Johnson) and/or delamanid (produced by Otsuka and its partner Viatris). All-oral regimens simplify DR-TB treatment for children and caregivers by eliminating the use of injectable drugs that can cause deafness and by making the treatment regimens shorter, less toxic, and more effective. However, these drugs remain out of reach for many children across the world who need them—including those in high TB burden countries—due to high prices, lack of generic alternatives, and the fact that these medicines are not yet registered in many of the most high burden countries.
