Evolution of TB control and elimination strategies TB and M/XDR-TB: from clinical management to control and elimination May 23-26, Bucharest, Romania GB Migliori, WHO CC, Tradate, IT M. Zignol, WHO STB Department, Geneva, CH

Aims of this presentation To review the global burden and state of control of TB, TB/HIV, MDR/XDR-TB To describe the challenges to further progress of control efforts towards elimination To propose a multi-dimensional strategy consisting of action on core TB business, health policies, research, and social development that are necessary to make incidence decline rapidly towards elimination

Estimated number of cases Estimated number of deaths 1.1 million* (range, 0.9–1.2 million) 8.8 million (range, 8.5–9.2 million) 0.65 million** All forms of TB (men and women) Multidrug- resistant TB HIV-associated TB 1.1 million (13%) (range, 1.0–1.2 million) 0.4 million (range, 0.32–0.39 million) The global burden of TB in 2010 *excluding deaths among HIV+ people ** prevalent cases ~ 0.15million All forms of TB (in women) 3.2 million (38%) (range, 3.0–3.5 million) 0.3 million (range, 0.2–0.4 million)

Most TB cases are still in Asia South- East Asia 34% Africa 30% Western Pacific 21% EMR 7%7% Europe 4% Americas 3% 55% cases in Asia

"Why making things simple when they can be made complicated?" XDR-TB is born… XDR = Resistance to at least INH and RIF (MDR) PLUS resistance to any fluoroquinolones, AND any one of the second-line injectable drugs (amikacin, kanamycin, capreomycin) Of 17,690 isolates from 49 countries during % were MDR and 2% were XDR XDR found in: USA: 4% of MDR Latvia: 19% of MDR S Korea: 15% of MDR XDR found in Southern Africa associated with HIV

TB Control Global Targets 2015: 50% reduction in TB prevalence and deaths by : elimination (<1 case per million population) 2015: Goal 6: Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases Target 8: to have halted by 2015 and begun to reverse the incidence… Indicator 23: incidence, prevalence and deaths associated with TB Indicator 24: proportion of TB cases detected and cured under DOTS

The global response: Stop TB Strategy & Global Plan 1.Pursue high-quality DOTS expansion 2.Address TB-HIV, MDR-TB, and needs of the poor and vulnerable 3.Contribute to health system strengthening 4.Engage all care providers 5.Empower people with TB and communities 6.Enable and promote research

Case detection stagnating globally

Treatment success target reached globally: 87% in Successful treatment rate (%) in DOTS cohorts But not in the Americas, Africa and Europe W Pacific SE Asia EMR Americas Africa Europe 1994 N= 250, N= 2.5 million

TB incidence, prevalence and mortality: global estimates, 1990–2010 Globally on track to achieve the 2015 targets for reductions in incidence and mortality

TB incidence: global estimates by WHO Region, 1990–2010

The "rare" case of Peru: rapid increase, good DOTS/PHC, rapid decrease (6-7% per year) Pulmonary TB cases/100,000 DOTS introduced

What are the challenges in 2011? 1.DOTS quality not uniform; only 65% of all estimated cases reported; diagnosis probably late in most settings 2.TB/HIV, especially in Africa; MDR-TB, especially in former USSR and China; XDR-TB everywhere we look for it 3.Weak health systems and services compromising TB care; lack of bold policies on free access to care, drug quality and restriction, labs, human resources, infection control, etc. 4.Not all practitioners, non-state and even governmental, working at high standard; weak public-private links 5.Communities often un-aware, un-involved, not mobilised 6.Research not yet delivering innovative tools, transfer of technology slow, and operational research neglected

Challenges specifically in the TB core area of work 1. Political commitment and funding, both domestic and international aid, uncertain 2. Early and increased case detection not pursued 3. Scale-up of links with non-state sector practitioners 4. TB/HIV:TB and AIDS programmes not working together 5. Scale-up of MDR-TB care

Funding has increased substantially in recent years Data based on ~ 100 countries each year with ~ 94% estimated global cases T echnical assistance and R & D not included

But still falls short of Global Plan targets, except in E. Europe All regions except Eastern Europe Data based on ~ 100 countries each year with ~ 94% estimated global cases Sources: WHO TB database, Global Plan; technical assistance and R & D not included Eastern Europe US$ billions GP = Global Plan AF = Available Funding

% of all cases yielded by active case finding among contacts of TB cases – Maroc, Ottmani S et al, 2008 Early and increased case detection Targeting vulnerable groups: contacts

Public and private medical colleges (yellow) diagnose a huge number of cases, but many of them are from outside the city and need to be refereed for treatment elsewhere. The increase in diagnosed cases represents increased notification after medical colleges and other providers started to report to NTP in a standardised way Case recovery into the NTP by different care providers, Bangalore, Increasing case notifications through public- private schemes

A. Establish NTP-NACP collaborative mechanisms  Set up coordinating bodies for effective TB/HIV activities at all levels  Conduct surveillance of HIV prevalence among TB cases  Carry out joint TB/HIV planning  Monitor and evaluate collaborative TB/HIV activities B. Decrease burden of TB among PLHIV (the "3 Is")  Establish intensified TB case finding  Introduce INH preventive therapy  Ensure TB infection control in health care and congregate settings C. Decrease burden of HIV among TB patients  Provide HIV testing and counselling  Introduce HIV prevention methods  Introduce co-trimoxazole preventive therapy  Ensure HIV/AIDS care and support  Introduce ARVs World Health Organization Policy on collaborative TB/HIV activities WHO recommendations

Bottlenecks to scale-up M/XDR-TB prevention and management Gaps in TB control Extremely weak M/XDR-TB management and care Health workforce crisis Inadequate laboratories Quality of anti-TB drugs not assured No restriction or regulation of anti-TB drug use Absent infection control Insufficient research Major financial gaps From the conclusions of the Ministerial Conference on M/XDR-TB, Beijing, 1-3 April 2009

Huge challenges to face MDR-TB effectively defined in Beijing & WHA 2009 In addition to proper basic control.. 1.Remove financial barriers (UHC) 2.Ensure well trained and sufficient human resources 3.Establish a network of labs where rapid tests are also available 4.Ensure availability of quality drugs 5.Regulate the use of all anti-TB drugs 6.Introduce infection control 7.Establish proper surveillance 8.Promote R&D 9.Mobilize funds domestically and internationally Document WHA 62.15, 2009

27 high MDR-TB burden countries Progress of MDR-TB care very slow

Year Incidence/million/yr Elimination 16%/yr Global Plan 6%/yr Current trajectory 1%/yr Full implementation of Global Plan: 2015 MDG target reached but TB not eliminated by 2050 Elimination target: 1 / million / year by 2050 Projected incidence 10x lower than today, but 100x bigger than elimination target in 2050

TB care and control Development Research Health systems And policies Traditional area of core TB control not enough Innovative action needed in 4 spheres "Moving beyond the TB box"

Sputum smear microscopy Discovered 1882 DIAGNOSTIC 1st-line TB drugs Discovered TREATMENT VACCINE BCG Developed 1920s Thinking a bit in the "R&D box"

Limitations of today’s Diagnostics, Drugs and Vaccine - A clear need for new tools Diagnostics - More than 100 years old Smear microscopy detects only half of the cases in patients tested Rapid tests for resistant strains not widely available in the field Particularly ineffective for diagnosing TB in people living with HIV Drugs - Nearly 40 years old Four drugs, taken for at least 6 months Not compatible with some antiretrovirals Treatment for resistant strains lengthy, with low success rates, expensive, toxic Vaccine - More than 85 years old Unreliable protection against infectious pulmonary TB Most widely used vaccine in the world, but no apparent impact on the growing TB epidemic

Current TB Therapy and Unmet Needs * Rifampin (R), Isoniazid (H), Pyrazinamide (Z), Ethambutol (E) Patient PopulationCurrent TherapyUnmet Needs Drug-Susceptible DS-TB 4 drugs; ≥6 month therapy (2RHZE + 4RH) Shorter, simpler therapy Drug-Resistant M(X)DR-TB Few drugs (including injectables); ≥18 months; poorly tolerated Totally oral, shorter and safer therapy TB/HIV Co-Infection Drug-drug interactions (DDI) with ARVs No or low DDI, co- administration with ARVs Latent TB Infection 6-9 months HShorter, safer therapy ► Need shorter and simpler therapies against both DS and DR-TB

The ideal new anti-TB drug  Novel mode of action, effective against M(X)DR-TB  Shorter therapy against both DS and M(X)DR-TB  Suitable for co-administration with ARVs  Orally active, once daily or less frequent dosing  Adequate safety and tolerability profiles  Affordable – low cost of goods ► Keep adoption in mind, we must set a higher bar than what is required to get a regimen approved by regulatory agencies

Elimination of TB by 2050 requires synergistic interventions Dye C & Williams BG, J.R. Soc. Interface 2007 NOT by preventing infection & treating active TB (both act on cutting transmission) But by treating latent infection and active TB or by preventing and treating latent infection (cutting transmission and reactivation)

TB death decline in England and Wales started much before antibiotics First drugs: contributed <5% of reduction in TB deaths M. tuberculosis discovered in 1882

- more crowding? -higher prevalence of HIV, smoking, malnutrition, alcoholism, social marginalization etc? -poor access to health services, diagnostic delays, prolonged infectiousness in poor communities? TB incidence rates & socio-economic level, New York, 1973 (SE level estimated on the basis of education, occupation and income) Hinman AR et al, Am J Epidem 103:490, 1976 "The possibility of eradicating TB in a country is essentially a function of its economic level" (G. Canetti, 1962)

The lower the GNI, the higher the incidence of TB Relationship Gross National Income/capita and TB incidence

Vision: Action in 4 spheres 1.TB core: Expand all aspects of the Stop TB Strategy Prioritize early and active case detection among high-risk & vulnerable populations Engage non-state sector and communities Scale-up MDR-TB management and further accelerate TB/HIV collaboration Measure impact and improve M&E Innovative diagnostic policies and implementation, including clear standard setting 2.Health system and policies: Pursue UHC to abolish financial barriers, drug quality and rational use, integrated lab networks with rapid molecular tests, infection control etc Examine risk factors such as smoking, diabetes, etc and assess feasibility of interventions to prevent, diagnose early and treat TB linking with NCD 3.Research Promote research: fundamental and pipeline for new tools essential for elimination Study carefully transfer of technology for new tools 4.Development: Make TB a development crisis: advocate for social protection, urban planning, food security, support to migrants, refugee assistance, poverty reduction strategies Assess interventions on social and economic determinants such as malnutrition, alcohol abuse, poor housing, indoor air pollution etc

Eradication of tuberculosis: Will it be feasible? " The possibility of eradicating tuberculosis in a country is essentially a function of its economic level… …There are three major weapons which can be used in a policy of eradication: chemotherapy, vaccination, and chemoprophylaxis. …In realising this objective, the developed countries can give developing ones considerable help"
