Contribution

Please tell us how your organization will contribute to the Global Plan to Stop TB by briefly describing its involvement in any of the areas of work listed below:

Drug-Resistant TB:
Mylan is currently commercializing several drugs which are used for the treatment of drug-resistant TB. Per our latest announcement with the TB Alliance, in addition to our agreement with Otsuka, Mylan will be the first generic manufacturer of Pretomanid, Bedaquiline (for drug sensitive TB) and Delamanid. We plan on commercializing our full TB portfolio in high-burden drug-resistant countries, actively working with donors/governments/NGOs in scaling-up national programs, and continually demonstrating our commitment to affordability and access.

TB-HIV:
Currently, Mylan is the largest supplier – by volume – of antiretroviral drugs, supplying approximately 40% of HIV patients on treatment in low-and middle-income countries. This intersects with our commitment to TB and reflects our continued support of engaging in proactive and thoughtful R&D, affordability/access, and ensuring that TB/HIV coinfected patients are able to receive the best possible treatment. We plan on commercializing our TB drugs in countries with high HIV/TB burden and look forward to working with stakeholders to ensure access to this population.

New TB Drugs:
As of April 2019, Mylan and TB Alliance announced a global collaboration to make the experimental drug pretomanid accessible for use in two investigational drug regimens for pulmonary tuberculosis (BPaL and BPaMZ). Both regimens should offer substantial benefits, including a substantially shortened treatment duration. As part of this collaboration, Mylan is committed to supporting additional clinical work to develop the necessary evidence base and developing pediatric formulations of the product.

In addition to Pretomanid, Mylan entered into a license agreement with Otsuka to commercialize Delamanid in select low- and middle-income countries. We are now working with Otsuka to manufacture the product in-house, which should result in substantial cost savings the long-term.


Research:
While Mylan has yet to develop a final research plan, Mylan is committed to supporting and engaging in operational research, particularly as it relates to Pretomanid introduction and data development in national TB programs outside of the United States. Mylan is diligently working with stakeholders and is looking for any engagement / suggestions on the most impactful approach moving forward.

Declaration

Declaration of interests:
Mylan is a pharmaceutical company that is currently manufacturing a number of medicines for Tuberculosis. Like any pharmaceutical company, we have a vested financial interest in successfully commercializing our product portfolio.
