USAID TB CARE II PROJECT
Principles of designing an MDR-TB treatment regimen
• Include at least four second-line anti-TB drugs likely to be effective as well as pyrazinamide during the intensive phase. More than four second-line anti-TB drugs is recommended if the effectiveness of some of the drugs is uncertain.
• The continuation phase should contain at least three second-line anti-TB drugs (pyrazinamide should also be continued in the continuation phase if extensive lung damage is present). More than three second-line anti-TB drugs is recommended if the effectiveness of some of the drugs is uncertain.
• Include a fluoroquinolone—a higher generation fluoroquinolone (levofloxacin or moxifloxacin) is strongly preferred.
• Ethambutol can be included but is not counted as a core drug in the regimen.
• Consider drug resistance data (of individual or region) and patient treatment history when designing a regimen.

Duration of therapy
• The intensive phase should be at least 8 months and at least 4 months past conversion (whichever is longer).
• Total duration of treatment should be at least 20 months and at least 18 months past conversion.

Constructing the regimen — Group 1
Include pyrazinamide
• Pyrazinamide should be included whenever the strain is susceptible or if susceptibility is unknown.
• DST to ethambutol is not very reliable and even if the strain is testing susceptible to ethambutol it should not be counted as a core effective drug against MDR-TB strains.

Constructing the regimen — Group 2
Include an injectable for the intensive phase
• Cross resistance between KM and AMK is considered complete
• There is cross resistance of CM with KM and AMK
• All injectables must be given IM or IV (not absorbed when given orally)
• Streptomycin is considered a first-line drug by the WHO

Constructing the regimen — Group 3
Include a fluoroquinolone
• Highly effective
• Minimal side effects
• It is recommended to use a higher generation fluoroquinolone (levofloxacin or moxifloxacin)

Constructing the regimen — Group 4
Complete the regimen with Group 4 drugs (aiming to have four or five second-line drugs — five if you are worried about second-line resistance)
• Side effects are common • ETO/PTO may be the most effective Group 4 drugs• If INH A mutation is responsible for the isoniazid resistance, there
may be cross-resistance with ETO/PTO

Constructing the regimen — Group 5
Group 5 drugs are used in cases of extensive resistance such as XDR-TB
• Minimal clinical evidence of efficacy
• Use two or three agents from Group 5 when it has been determined that a regimen of at least four effective drugs from Groups 2 to 4 are not available.

Adjusting standardized regimens
Standardized therapies need to be adjusted in:• Pregnancy• Liver disease• Chronic kidney disease• MDR-TB contacts• History of treatment with second-line drugs
