Pretomanid is only the third new anti-tuberculosis (TB) drug developed specifically for drug-resistant forms of the disease to be approved in more than 40 years.
Pretomanid, a novel compound developed by the non-profit organization TB Alliance, was approved by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) for treating some of the most drug-resistant forms of tuberculosis (TB).
Non-profit drug developer, TB Alliance, and pharmaceutical company, Mylan announced a global collaboration to make the experimental drug pretomanid accessible for use in two investigational drug regimens for pulmonary tuberculosis (TB).
