Dear GHDonline members and visitors,

If you wish to sign the Cambridge Declaration, please add your name to this list by clicking on "reply." In addition, if you'd like to join protocol-writing groups and become a member of RESIST-TB, the private community of practice available on GHDonline for stakeholders collaborating to improve and expand DR TB clinical trials, please contact: .

If you are not a member of GHDonline but would like to sign the Cambridge Declaration, please click on "Join" and add "DR TB" in your subject line. As soon as you receive a confirmation of membership, you will be able to proceed as detailed above.

The DR TB Clinical Trials Working Group, or RESIST-TB, was created in June 2008 by stakeholders from communities, NGOs, governments, donors, industry, and academia to:

- conduct priority clinical trials that test strategies in adults and children:
> to shorten and improve treatment for drug-resistant TB, and
> to prevent drug-resistant TB

- mobilize the resources needed for these trials

- build the capacity of trial sites

- report to stakeholders on progress made, and

- ensure that these efforts complement those of other groups, and address the critical unmet needs outlined above.
