Abstract

The TB Drug Accelerator (TBDA) Program targets the discovery of new TB drugs by collaborating on early-stage research. The long-term goal of the TBDA Program is to create a tuberculosis (TB) drug regimen that cures patients in only one month, rather than the six months now needed for treatment.

Mission

The TBDA Program aims to develop five new preclinical drug candidates with treatment-shortening potential within five years and proof of concept for a one-month, three-drug regimen within 10 years.
