    Abstract Tuberculosis (TB) drug discovery and development has undergone nothing short of a revolution over the past 20 years. Successful public-private partnerships and sustained funding have delivered a much-improved understanding of mycobacterial disease biology and pharmacology and a healthy pipeline that can tolerate inevitable attrition. Preclinical and clinical development has evolved from decade-old concepts to adaptive designs that permit rapid evaluation of regimens that might greatly shorten treatment duration over the next decade. But the past 20 years also saw the rise of a fatal and difficult-to-cure lung disease caused by nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), for which the drug development pipeline is nearly empty. Here, we discuss the similarities and differences between TB and NTM lung diseases, compare the preclinical and clinical advances, and identify major knowledge gaps and areas of cross-fertilization. We argue that applying paradigms and networks that have proved successful for TB, from basic research to clinical trials, will help to populate the pipeline and accelerate curative regimen development for NTM disease.

    Abstract Nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease (NTM-PD) is treated with multiple repurposed drugs. Chemotherapy is long and often toxic, includes parenteral drugs, and suffers from poor cure rates. There is an urgent need for more efficacious, tolerated, and oral antibiotics optimized towards the treatment of NTM-PD, adapted to the spectrum of disease. In contrast to the empty NTM pipeline, drug development for the related tuberculosis lung disease has experienced a renaissance. Here, we argue that applying lessons learned from tuberculosis will facilitate the discovery of curative oral regimens for NTM-PD.

    Abstract Despite two decades of intensified research to understand and cure tuberculosis disease, biological uncertainties remain and hamper progress. However, owing to collaborative initiatives including academia, the pharmaceutical industry and non-for-profit organizations, the drug candidate pipeline is promising. This exceptional success comes with the inherent challenge of prioritizing multidrug regimens for clinical trials and revamping trial designs to accelerate regimen development and capitalize on drug discovery breakthroughs. Most wanted are markers of progression from latent infection to active pulmonary disease, markers of drug response and predictors of relapse, in vitro tools to uncover synergies that translate clinically and animal models to reliably assess the treatment shortening potential of new regimens. In this Review, we highlight the benefits and challenges of 'one-size-fits-all' regimens and treatment duration versus individualized therapy based on disease severity and host and pathogen characteristics, considering scientific and operational perspectives.

    Abstract Hollow fiber systems (HFSs) have been widely applied to study pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) relationships in antibiotic research and development. The system comprises a bundle of high-density hollow capillary fibers that conduct a flow of medium with or without drug and an extra-capillary space (ECS) inoculated with the pathogen of interest. The semipermeable membrane of the hollow fibers allows for rapid exchange of small molecule drugs and solutes, while the pathogen is restricted to the ECS. The unique properties of the HFS are (1) the ability to simulate any PK profile within the fibers and ECS, including plasma or site-of-disease PK profiles, (2) the ability to simultaneously input several drugs with different half-lives, (3) the ability to manipulate growth conditions such as medium composition, carbon source, and pH, and (4) the ability to sample in both compartments in order to monitor drug concentrations and bacterial growth kinetics over time. The system is particularly suited for Mycobacterium tuberculosis research in a biosafety level 3 (BSL3) environment since pathogenic bacteria are sequestered in an isolated compartment. The HFS was qualified by the European Medicines Agency for antituberculosis drug development in 2015. Here, we describe the standard procedures used to study the growth kinetics of M. tuberculosis in the HFS and the killing effect of first-line antituberculous drugs applied under simulated human PK conditions. This animal-sparing and economical tool can be applied to optimize dosing schedules that minimize emergence of resistance and to prioritize drug regimens that accelerate sterilization.
