Abstract:

BCG is currently only available vaccine for tuberculosis (TB) at global level. It can mainly reduce the occurrence of tuberculous meningitis and disseminated tuberculosis in children, however, the protection effect on adolescents and adults is limited. In order to achieve “The End TB Strategy”, it is essential to research and develop novel tuberculosis vaccines that are effective for all ages. Encouraging research and development of new tuberculosis vaccines and participating in multi-regional clinical trials, which will help stimulate internal vitality, shorten the research and development cycle of TB vaccine, and accelerate the marketing and promotion speed. The author sorted out the current status of TB vaccine which are in clinic trial, the relevant supportive policies, the basic requirements of the multi-regional clinical trials and TB vaccine landscape.
