In the 2022 World TB Day premiere of the latest episode of The Dose podcast, we discuss some of the most dangerous forms of Tuberculosis. In Episode 5 "Highly Drug-Resistant TB & ZeNix Trial Results" you can join our moderator, Shobha Shukla, as she speaks with experts on the most highly drug-resistant forms of TB, Dr. Francesca Conradie and Dr. Gustavo Velásquez. The fifth episode will also focus on the results from ZeNix, a Phase 3 clinical trial, that explored potential optimization of a regimen for treating patients with highly drug-resistant TB. In this episode, we hope to address the battle with some of the most difficult to treat forms of TB and how a three-drug, all-oral, six-month regimen could be further improved to help win that battle.
