BDQ introduction process-Activities
done
April 2013: 1st introduction workshop of new TB drug Bedaquiline (WHO – Viet Nam MOH – NTP)
February 2014: 2nd workshop about BDQ (WHO – MOH – NTP): country’s readiness assessment for BDQ
implementing
April 2014: establishment and 1st meeting of Vietnam BDQ technical working group, 1st draft of National
Implementation plan
June 2014: Global Fund approved budget for treatment with BDQ for the first 100 patients
June 2014: 1st draft of Clinical guidelines of using BDQ in MDR/pre-XDR and XDR-TB treatment
July 2014: MOH officially established the National Task force for implementing new TB drug (heading by Vice
Minister and representatives from related departments of MOH, NTP)
August 2014: NTP in collaboration with Pharmacovigilance dept. of Hanoi Pharmacy University to prepare the
CEM for ADRs of BDQ (B5.16)
September 2014: 3rd meeting of BDQ TWG: revise and finalize required document.
November 2014:
Join the meeting on preparing for the introduction of new TB drugs & Inter-regional workshop on PV
1st Task Force meeting: ways to prepare supporting documents to submit for approval
Step 5: Bedaquiline implementation
Hold advocacy and initiation workshops in 3 pilot provinces
among NTP – Provincial People Committee – Department of
health – Provincial TB hospital (Dec 2014)
Preparing 3 pilot sites: materials, equipment and trainings
(patient screening, clinical management, active
pharmacovigilance …- Jan 2015)
Place the order of drugs (Jan 2015)
Patient screening and initiation: 1st patient enrolled in BDQ
treatment (2nd Q/2015)
Monitoring treatment response
Detection, management and reporting of adverse events
Step 6: Generating evidence for
scale up
Minimum basic data set (compared with control groups)
Adverse events (harms) in individuals exposed to new drug
% of patients treated with bedaquiline who experienced severe adverse events (heart,
liver)
% of patients whose regimen need to be changed due to AE
Response to treatment (effectiveness)
% of success rate
Time to culture convertion
% of patients who resistant to bedaquiline
Adhearance to treatment:
% Default
% interrupt using BDQ during 6 months
Patient’s experience of using BDQ
KEY DATA FOR ASSESSMENT OF Bedaquiline IMPLEMENTATION (No screened,
eligible, enrolled, Tx outcome, etc)
Advantages
Strong commitment of NTP leaders and pilot sites in BDQ
implementation in Vietnam. Establishment of National TF with
representatives from MOH (powerful advocacy)
• Great technical support from partners, especially WHO (both head
quarter and country office): experts, technical documents
• Budget for 1st 100 patients (including drugs, examinations and PV) has
already been approved by the Global Fund
• Good collaboration with HN Pharmacy university in implementing
pharmacovigilance activities for BDQ in the same time (also funded by the
GF)
Main challenges
• BDQ is still in the phase III clinical trial May delay in
administrative procedures require stronger advocacy
effort
• GF mainly supports drugs and examinations, still lack of
funding for program cost and health system cost
