1 Drug Resistant TB PMDT Status and Challenges DR ROHIT SARIN MD, DTCD, FNCCP DIRECTOR NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF TB & RESPIRATORY DISEASES SRI AUROBINDO MARG : NEW DELHI

2 Estimated number of MDR-TB Cases, 2012* ~ 2/3 third of all cases are in 4 countries Russian Federation 46,000 (15% of global MDR burden) China 59,000 (20% of global MDR burden) 3.6% new cases 20.2% previously treated cases * among notified TB cases South Africa 8,100 (3% of global MDR burden) India 64,000 (22% of global MDR burden)

3 India v/s top 12 high MDR burden countries 26% 5% 30% 87% 190% 102%

4 Countries that had reported at least one DR-TB case countries 9.6% MDR TB cases have DR TB 16.5%MDR-TB cases with additional resistance to fluoroquinolones

5 Burden of DR TB- Indian Scenario India has world s highest MDR-TB burden 64,000 emerging annually among notified PTB cases Sub-national drug resistance surveys ( ) 2.4% MDR in new, 15% MDR in previously treated cases 21-24% Ofx resistance, 4-7% DR in MDR isolates National drug resistance survey underway

6 Is MDR-TB a real threat in India? State representative DRS survey- (patients at entry from Public sector microscopy centres) State Proportion of MDR amongst new TB cases Proportion of MDR amongst re-treatment TB cases Gujarat 2.4% 17.4% Maharashtra 2.7% 14% Andhra Pradesh 1.8% 11.8%

7 Is DR TB a real threat in India? High DR / pre-dr levels out of DR suspects undergoing Second-line Drug Susceptibility Testing at NRLs Source: National TB Institute, Bangalore

8 The case of Mumbai and the TDR-TB outbreak Jan 2012 March 2012 WHO and CTD took a stand: Such cases pose a formidable challenge to clinicians and public health authorities No reliable definition beyond DR-TB Improvements in the accuracy of drug susceptibility testing to certain drugs Release of innovative new drugs will, however, change this position in future. India turned this crisis into opportunities for improvements in Mumbai and country wide Udwadia ZF, Amale RA, Ajbani KK, Rodrigues C. Totally drug-resistant tuberculosis in India. Clin Infect Dis Feb 15;54(4):

9 RNTCP PMDT Vision Plan of PMDT service expansion By : o Complete geographical coverage for PMDT services (achieved) o DST for all smear-positive re-treatment TB cases at diagnosis (597 districts achieved) By 2015: o + DST for all smear negative TB (re-treatment) cases & any HIV TB case registered under RNTCP (expected by March 2014) By 2017: o 120 C-DST labs being established and strengthened o pert-mtb-rif in 950 sites at districts and medical colleges across the country o Treat at least 40,000 MDR cases annually by 2017 (120 DR TB Centers) o Treat ~ 160,000 MDR-TB & ~4,100 DR-TB cases over next 5 yrs ( )

13 C-DST Labs - 54 SLDST - 6 (3 NRLs and 2 IRL, 1-NGO) RNTCP Culture & DST Labs Network (January, 2014) Jammu & Kashmir HARYANA Himachal Pradesh Punjab AIIMS-2 Chandigarh LRS Uttaranchal Haryana Gurgaon Delhi Sikkim Arunachal Pradesh Uttar Pradesh Rajasthan JALMA Assam Bihar Nagaland NDTC Gujarat Madhya Pradesh Chhatisgarh Jharkhand Meghalaya West Bengal Tripura Mizoram Manipur Daman & Diu D&N Haveli Orissa IRL (Certified ) By Technology - Solid Culture: 37 - LPA: 43 - Liquid Culture:14 - CB-NAAT : 80 Maharashtra Goa Karnataka NTI Andhra Pradesh TRC IRL (Under Process) Med Col / NGO / Private Labs (Certified) Med Col / NGO / Private Labs (Under Process) National Reference Labs CB-NAAT Sites Pondicherry Lakshadweep Kerala Tamil Nadu A&N Islands

14 RNTCP Policy on CB-NAAT Use of CB-NAAT endorsed as a rapid molecular diagnostic tool in following programmatic situations: o For Diagnosis of Rif Resistance MDR TB Suspects (A,B,C) o For MTB positive results Treat as per RNTCP guidelines o For Rif Resistance results Re-treatment cases Treat with MDR TB Regimen New cases Re-confirm with LPA (LC/Solid in S-ve cases) and Treat with MDR TB Regimen after confirming Rif Resistance o For CB NAAT results from private sector For TB (acceptable if QA Re-calibration of machine done annually) For R resistant results in new cases - re-confirm with o LPA in S+ve cases or o Liquid/Solid C-DST in S-ve Cases

15 RNTCP TB pert Project supported by WHO, STOP TB Partnership, UNITAID & USAID Under this project, 40 CB-NAAT machines and cartridges are provided to the country to scale-up rapid molecular diagnosis of TB and Rif resistance (MDR-TB) Innovate to engage private sector through public-private mix (PPM) initiatives to improve access to rapid testing of patients who attend both public and private sector

18 Second Line DST Scale up Plan Existing SLDST 7 Labs SL DST Proficiency Testing to be completed o In the 37 planned labs By 2Q Labs JALMA Agra, IRLs -Hyderabad, Nagpur, Jaipur, Delhi, Ajmer and JJ Mumbai ) By , IRLs-Pune, Bangalore, Cuttack, Puducherry, Karnal, Chennai, Guwahati, Kolkata, Indore, Lucknow, PGI Chandigarh, GMC Jamnagar, AIIMS New Delhi By IRL- Patiala, Agra, Raipur, Ranchi, Indore, Patna, GMC Silliguri, RMRC Bhubaneswar, BMHRC-Bhopal, GMC-Vishakhapatnam, BHU-Varanasi, KIMS- Hubli, Bhagalpur, Madurai, Raichur, Jodhpur o Extended to private labs already certified by RNTCP for FLD

19 Priorities for lab strengthening Optimally utilize all existing technology for diagnosis (LPA and CB-NAAT )and follow-up culture (Solid and Liquid) Expedite the development and proficiency testing for liquid culture Rapid Implementation of NIKSHAY PMDT module at all laboratories

20 Innovative PPM initiatives to increase access Initiative for Promoting Affordable, Quality TB Tests (IPAQT) is a consortium of 50 private diagnostic laboratories Established agreements with Cepheid Inc, Hain LifeScience and Becton Dickenson to allow access to concessional prices for pert MTB/RIF, first-line line probe assays, and liquid culture in the private sector Participating laboratories need to be accredited to assure quality; they must report confirmed cases to RNTCP; they must adhere to a ceiling price when charging patients Laboratories participating in IPAQT have approximately 3000 franchisee laboratories and over specimen collection centres across India, thus increasing access to rapid, accurate and affordable diagnostics for patients seeking care in the country s extensive private sector

21 Diagnostic Challenges & Solutions Deployed Challenges Solutions Access to rapid molecular DST limited due to weak case finding systems and sample transport systems Setting up of Liquid Culture Labs Infrastructure upgrades to BSL III & HR Foreseeable follow up capacity crisis in most of the states on shift to Criteria C with rapid molecular tests Limited access to Second Line DST due to lack of systems Lack of clarity on RNTCP policy for CB-NAAT and R&R systems Streamlining systems and training to improve suspect identification, prompt sample collection & transport systems from PHIs/DMCs State to take the ownership Enhance coordination to fast-track BSL III & HRD for LC labs FU capacity enhancement through 1 sample per follow up culture policy Fast track application of potential labs to reach proficiency stage with NRLs Budget for C-DST Schemes - private labs State to expedite SLD PT Clear policy on CB-NAAT, Lab SOP & QA updated with CB-NAAT indicators

28 Treatment Challenges & Solutions Deployed Challenges ~ 10% loss from Dx to Rx : Delay in treatment initiation in spite of rapid DST Tracing patients due to poor case holding Solutions Shift to Criteria C with LPA/CB-NAAT CB-NAAT to offer decentralized DST and same day diagnosis Improve DOTS, timely results and coordination Limited DR TB Centers and bed capacity to cope with enhanced case load due to Criteria C with LPA/CB-NAAT Low treatment outcomes due to high interim attrition of patients Culture Not Known, Default, Died Fast-track DR-TB Centre Strengthen districts capacity for ambulatory PTE, ADR management DR TB Centre Scheme in 2014 Reinforce counseling, FU & ADR Mx Intensify SME for improve case holding Integrated Rx Algorithm for DR TB Bedaquiline controlled introduction Manual information management SLD logistic & supply chain management NIKSHAY for PMDT in 2014 Good packing & storage of PWBs More Store Assist, Outsource SCM

29 Priorities in 2014 Focus to enhance quality of services through intensified supervision and monitoring Scaling up Second Line DST capacity across India Streamlining TB Notification, Lab surveillance and NIKSHAY Further strengthening PPM and developing Urban TB Control models Finalization and Dissemination of STCI & Partnership Guidelines Involvement of Large Corporate Hospitals under new RNTCP NGO PP Schemes to facilitate o TB Notification o Sample collection centres under Private Private partnership o DR TB Centre o C-DST Lab.etc.
