Online consultation on the draft TPP for a test of progression of LTBI

On 23 May 2016, the NDWG LTBI Task Force launched an online consultation on the draft Target Product Profile (TPP) for a test of progression of LTBI. The online survey will enable to gather input from a large group of stakeholders representing researchers, endemic countries, governmental and non-governmental organizations, test developers and the patient community.

Participants will have the opportunity to evaluate the key performance and operational characteristics as defined in the TPP in order to build large consensus around this document, which will provide guidance to test developers as to the test requirements to meet the need of target populations. Results will be discussed by an expert group which will be convened by the NDWG Task Force on LTBI on July 1st 2016 in Milan, Italy, in order to finalize the TPP and submit the document to WHO for endorsement.
