Major tuberculosis vaccine trial completes enrollment faster than expected https://t.co/U5hn6UZZXh

[Helen Branswell 🇨🇦 @HelenBranswell]

Some good news: A Phase 3 clinical trial of what could be the first new #tuberculosis vaccine in over 100 years has been able to enroll all needed participants months ahead of schedule. https://t.co/SbirAPni0V

Great piece of clear, accesible sci comms by @devisridhar progress made & still to be made against drug-resistance infections (or AMR), and challenges for developing new drugs 💊

“Local, equitable response to endemic disease outbreaks is the key to a rapid, effective pandemic response.”

@wellcometrust's Natsuko Imai on strengthening epidemic responses & research to be prepared for the next pandemic, in @devex.

Human challenge trials have the power to rapidly accelerate the development of much-needed vaccines and treatments.

Dr Kondwani Jambo (@kjambo), an expert on the topic at @MLW_Programme, explains more ⤵️

[Wellcome @wellcometrust]

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing global health threat.

Without urgent action, bacterial AMR will account for three deaths every minute between 2025 and 2050.

The latest GRAM report in @TheLancet gives vital new evidence. Read on for key takeaways ⤵️ [1/3]

Can comms solve the spread of disinformation? 📝👂🗣️

Insightful discussion on building trust in communities through transparency, involving those affected in research & improving access to products, to fill the gaps before misinformation can.

[Tilly Haynes @tilly_haynes]

Antimicrobial resistance is associated with thousands of preventable deaths each year.

Great to hear from @UKAMREnvoy on the need for strengthening public confidence & evidence-based vaccine development as part of the global response to #AMR.

"In the context of the inequality in the world, we will need a vaccine to control #tuberculosis” 💉🌍

A great explanation of the challenges facing TB control and vaccine development, and hopes for the M72 candidate.

Collaboration will accelerate the discovery of solutions to urgent health challenges.

Here’s why we’re excited to be partnering with @novonordiskfond and @gatesfoundation on a new initiative to support critical research and development.

African communities are often the most affected by infectious diseases.

So what challenges do African countries face fin building expertise & vaccine manufacturing capabilities?

The saying goes, "prevention is better than a cure".     

But how do you prevent drug-resistant infections?      

Vaccines could help 💉⤵️ [1/3] #WIW2024

[Wellcome @wellcometrust]

In the fight against infectious diseases, the voices of those most affected are a powerful tool.

The Africa Health Research Institute (@AHRI_News) aims to combat diseases like TB by working with local communities.

Experts at AHRI explain why this context is key for research ⤵️

[Wellcome @wellcometrust]

A potential vaccine candidate for tuberculosis, supported by Wellcome and @gatesfoundation, has started its Phase 3 clinical trial in South Africa.

If shown to be well-tolerated and effective, the vaccine could become the first tuberculosis vaccine in over a century.

[Tilly Haynes @tilly_haynes]

So exciting to see positive news of a safe and effective #malaria vaccine to protect children in African countries! Accessible & affordable products are key to achieving #globalheath equity 🌍💉

In the decade since the 'AMR review', there's been little concrete action to address this #globalhealth crisis.

Could setting tangible targets and holding decision makers to account help drive progress?

The @COP28_UAE agreement represents a united global demand to protect human health and halt the climate crisis.

We must build on the momentum from the first-ever Health Day at #COP28 to garner bolder, faster and healthier climate action.

[Wellcome @wellcometrust]

Today, the @WHO released its annual report on the state of tuberculosis (TB).

The topline?

TB is still one of the world's deadliest infectious diseases — and the funding needed to change that is falling well short.

But there's been some promising progress... [1/5]🧵⤵️
