1 Integrating pertmtb/rif into PMDT & PPM activities in India Dr R S Gupta Deputy Director General TB Central TB Division, Government of India, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, New Delhi. India GLI Meeting- 30 th April -2 nd May 2014

2 Burden of DR TB in India India- world s highest MDR-TB burden country 64,000 emerging annually in notified PTB cases Sub-national drug-resistance surveys( ) 2.4%MDRinnew,15%MDRinpreviouslytreatedcases 21-24% Ofx resistance, 4-7% DR in MDR isolates National drug resistance survey underway World s largest PMDT service expansion - Started in 2007, dramatically accelerated from 2011 to achieve nationwide rapid scale up in March 2013

3 Key Features of RNTCP PMDT Decentralized lab diagnosis and DST Specimen transport to LPA (45) or pertmtb/rif (89) site pertmtb/rif or LPA is preferred DST method and available across India Treatment with standardized regimen for M/DR TB largely ambulatory Scope of strengthening MDR-TB regimen in baseline Ofx/ Km resistance Base line Second Line DST started in 6 states (KA, TN, MH, KE, GJ, DL) Source: RNTCP Guidelines for PMDT in India May 12,

6 Policy for use of pert-mtb/rif in India Use of pert-mtb/rif in programmatic settings For Diagnosis of Rif Resistance Presumptive MDR TB cases Prioritize pert-mtb/rif to detect MTB in Presumptive TB cases among People living with HIV / AIDS Paediatric cases

7 pert-mtb/rif projects in India 18 sites under TB Unit feasibility and impact study (March December 2013) conducted to create in-country evidence on feasibility for rapid adoption and guide future scale-up of the technology to diagnose TB and DR TB 10 sites under EPANDx TB (till December 2014) for further accelerating services of PMDT to diagnose DR TB 40 sites under UNITAID (till December 2015) for scale-up and deployment of pert-mtb/rif as a decentralized tool and innovative PPM to diagnose TB and DR TB 4 sites under USAID (till June 2014) Accelerating access to quality TB and DR TB diagnosis for paediatric cases in 4 major cities in India 30 sites proposed under PEPFAR, USAID (till September 2015) Innovative intensified TB case finding and appropriate treatment at high burden ART centres in 4 states

8 1. RNTCP pert-mtb/rif Feasibility Project Aim o Collect evidence on the feasibility and impact of introducing pert- MTB/Rif for the detection of TB and rifampicin resistance Objectives o Feasibility: Establish the feasibility of decentralized deployment of routine pert-mtb/rif testing of all pulmonary TB & DR-TB suspects in selected geographic areas o Impact: Assess the impact of decentralized deployment of routine pert-mtb/rif testing of all pulmonary TB suspects on diagnosis of TB & DR-TB

9 pert-mtb/rif Feasibility Study Overall positivity of TB detection was 21.8% Total Total TB Suspects tested Intervention Bac +ve TB Clinically Diagnosed 1690 Total TB DR TB 2301 Additional Yield of MTB on pert over Smear Microscopy Total bacteriologically confirmed cases diagnosed Diagnosed on pert over smear Diagnosed on smear over pert Additional yield on pert Yield (%) %

10 2. EPANDx Project sites (Diagnosis of DR TB) Established 12 pert-mtb-rif labs to supplement the efforts and capacity of the existing reference lab network of RNTCP

11 Quarterly Suspect Examination on CBNAAT across sites (Oct 2012-Mar 2014) Quarterly Suspect Examination on CBNAAT across sites Suspects examined Rif +ve Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Rif Resistant DR TB suspect

12 3. RNTCP TBpert Project (supported by WHO, STOP TB Partnership, UNITAID & USAID) Under this project, 43 pert MTB/Rif machines and cartridges are provided to the country to scale-up rapid molecular diagnosis of TB and Rif resistance Innovate to engage private sector through publicprivate mix (PPM) initiatives to improve access to rapid testing of patients who attend both public and private sector

13 Jammu & Kashmir TB pert Project Sites- UNITAID Gujarat Rajasthan Daman & Diu D&N Haveli Goa Punjab Chandigarh Haryana Maharashtra Himachal Pradesh Delhi Uttaranchal Madhya Pradesh Uttar Pradesh Andhra Pradesh Jharkhand Chhatisgarh Orissa Bihar Sikkim Meghalaya West Bengal Tripura Arunachal Pradesh Assam Mizoram Nagaland Manipur 10 urban sites Advocacy to have PPM All 40 sites innovate for PPM models Karnataka Lakshadweep Kerala Tamil Nadu Pondicherry A&N Islands

14 RNTCP TBpert Project-UNITAID Guidance document developed for use of pert-mtb/rif including innovative models for private sector engagement 2 National level trainings conducted (20 sites per training) to sensitize all sites. Onsite trainings at sites on technical aspects on handling and trouble shooting

15 Innovative PPM approaches Clear message to private providers Open access to tests and treatment - free of cost Clinical indications to test- Pedriatic, TB/HIV Notification and monitoring progress Using all medium of communications Standards for TB Care in India ICT solutions to bridge information gap

16 Outcome of TBpert Project (UNITAID) from 40 sites (Jul-Dec 2013)* MTB detected MTB Rif Detected * Data source from implementing sites

17 4. Accelerating access to quality TB diagnosis for pediatric cases in 4 major cities in India Establishment of pert-mtb/rif labs at Delhi, Chennai, Kolkata and Hyderabad Identification of key hospitals and private clinics catering to pediatric populations and establish referral network for pediatric Engaging more number of pediatricians for referrals Sensitization meeting for identified key personnel

18 5. Innovative intensified TB case finding and appropriate treatment at high burden ART centres in India (PEPFAR) Major Interventions ICF at ART centres (use of pert MTB/Rif) IPT among PLHIV Daily regimen for coinfected AIC at ART centres 4 high HIV burden states MH, KA, TN, AP 30 pert machines

19 PPM Initiatives to Integrate pert into RNTCP Public-Public Mix (pert from different source; sensitization, trainings, consumables and treatment from RNTCP) 4 pert in Government Medical Colleges (PGI Chandigarh, AIIMS New Delhi, SMS Jaipur, BJ Medical College Gujarat) 4 pert proposed in Railways Hospital (pert, sensitization and trainings from RNTCP; consumables from Ministry of Railways) Public-Private Mix (pert, consumables, trainings and treatment from RNTCP) pert in 1 Private Medical Colleges (CMC Vellore) Private-Private Mix (pert diagnosis at subsidized price by private providers with technical support from NGO; treatment support from RNTCP) 49 pert under IPAQT (Initiative for Promoting Affordable, Quality TB Tests)
