• Summary
Global TB control
targets
• UN Millennium Development Goals – 2015: … begun to reverse [rising TB] incidence
• Stop TB Partnership – 2015: 50% reduction in TB prevalence and deaths
– 2050: Elimination of TB ‘as a public health problem’ (<1 case per million people)

Strategy
WHO (2006). The Stop TB Strategy, WHO / Stop TB. Geneva
How are we doing?
Progress in 2011
• 46 million people successfully treated (1995-2010)
• ~7 million lives saved compared to 1995 standard of care
• Millenium Development Goals (declining TB disease in 2015) – Peak in ~2002
– On track
• Stop TB (50% reduction in mortality between 1990 and 2015) – Reduced by 40% since 1990 in 2006
– On track
WHO. Global tuberculosis control 2011. Geneva.
How are we doing?
Global estimated TB disease incidence,
prevalence and mortality
WHO. Global tuberculosis control 2011. Geneva.
Target Target
40% decline since 1990
Currently ~1% annual decline
TB disease incidence TB disease prevalence TB mortality
But • TB disease incidence decline very slow • Case detection improvements slowing • MDR-TB care only now scaling up

• Summary
What can we achieve with the
existing strategy?
Lonnroth et al, Social Science and Medicine, 2009
Current decline (1%/yr)
Decline required for ‘Elimination’ (16%/yr)
Predicted decline with full implementation of Global Plan to Stop TB (6%/yr)
‘Elimination’ by 2050
What would it take?
• Impact of treating active TB disease cases OR using new pre-exposure vaccine large
• But impact limited as neither directly prevents reactivation disease among latents (1 in 3 people worldwide)
• ‘Elimination’ unlikely • Elimination more likely if • Combination prevention
approach used that a) Prevents reactivation
disease among latents using preventative drug therapy OR a post-exposure vaccination
AND b) Prevents/treats active
disease using a new pre exposure vaccination OR drug therapy
Dye et al, J R Soc Interface, 2008

Abu-Raddad et al, Proc Natl Acad Sci, 2009
• Dipstick point of care test
• 42% ↓ in TB incidence
• 2 month active disease therapy (including M/XDR) & mass latent therapy
• 94% ↓ in TB incidence
• Mass pre and post exposure vaccines
• 92% ↓ in TB incidence

Why the world needs
vaccines for TB
• We should meet the (rather underwhelming) target of slow annual reduction in global TB disease incidence in 2015
• Using current tools we are unlikely to get close to eliminating TB disease as a public health problem by 2050
• Can get closer to elimination using combination-prevention strategies that prevent/treat active disease AND prevent disease due to reactivation of latent infection
• But, to do so we would need strategies like – mass treatment of latent MTB infection OR new post-exposure vaccine AND – high coverage of effective disease therapy OR new pre-exposure vaccine
• Of these DOTS coverage increase has stalled, and mass treatment of latent MTB infection is difficult to scale up
=> New vaccines, drugs and diagnostics are required
