Tuberculosis: Drug-resistant TB trial ends enrolment early after positive initial data

A trial aiming to find a better treatment for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis has stopped enrolling patients early after its independent data safety and monitoring board indicated that the regimen being studied is superior to current care, and more patient data was extremely unlikely to change the trial’s outcome.

Globally, such measures resulted in limited access to sexual and reproductive health care including safe abortion, contraception, and treatment for sexual violence.
