Abstract

Clinical trials of novel tuberculosis (TB) vaccines are expensive, while global resources for TB vaccine development are limited. Therefore, there is a need for robust and predictive preclinical data to support advancement of candidate vaccines into clinical trials. Here, we provide a rationale for using the nonhuman primate as an essential component of these efforts, as well as guidance to the TB community for standardizing experimental design and aligning endpoints to facilitate development of new TB vaccines.
