Bedaquiline and delamanid, the first novel TB medications in 50 years, give hope for more successful and less toxic MDR TB treatment. Certain subgroups of patients, such as those with HIV, hepatitis C, or diabetes, have poorer treatment outcomes than those without these illnesses, according to the previous standard of care and some recent regimens. Compared to 89 percent of those without severe disease, 68% of people with severe disease had early good reactions to the new regimen.

Pretomanid, in combination with bed aquiline and linezolid, is approved to treat a small and particular group of adult patients with multidrug-resistant pulmonary TB who are extensively medication resistant, treatment-intolerant, or nonresponsive.
