New and Repurposed Drugs for the Treatment of Active Tuberculosis : An Update for Clinicians

© 2022 The Author(s). Published by S. Karger AG, Basel..

Although tuberculosis (TB) is preventable and curable, the lengthy treatment (generally 6 months), poor patient adherence, high inter-individual variability in pharmacokinetics (PK), emergence of drug resistance, presence of comorbidities, and adverse drug reactions complicate TB therapy and drive the need for new drugs and/or regimens. Hence, new compounds are being developed, available drugs are repurposed, and the dosing of existing drugs is optimized, resulting in the largest drug development portfolio in TB history. This review highlights a selection of clinically available drug candidates that could be part of future TB regimens, including bedaquiline, delamanid, pretomanid, linezolid, clofazimine, optimized (high dose) rifampicin, rifapentine, and para-aminosalicylic acid. The review covers drug development history, preclinical data, PK, and current clinical development.
