Practical recommendations from the STREAM clinical trial
STREAM is a multi-country clinical trial evaluating shorter, more tolerable regimens for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). The trial offered an exceptional opportunity to evaluate key issues related to Implementing Clinical Trials, Community Engagement, and Pharmacy and Clinical Supplies. This site offers practical recommendations drawn from the lessons learned over the course of the trial.
