More than six years ago, the endTB trial started to transform MDR-TB treatments, which were long, ineffective and had terrible side effects. The study was performed to identify radically shorter, more tolerable, and injection-free treatments for MDR-TB. The endTB trial is offering a much-needed shot in the arm of the national programmes and policies by generating evidence of immense good quality. We were able to achieve successful results in treating every patient. endTB has been an excellent opportunity to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of shortened oral regimens in the fight against tuberculosis. This trial is a game-changer. We actually look forward to seeing the improvement that will come to the lives of our patients by using the endTB clinical trial regime
