TB-HIV: A PLAN TO FIGHT HIV/TB : One of the most important goals of our organization is to contribute to the fight against TB, leishmaniaisis, malaria and other infectious diseases, particularly in developing countries, where the problem is compounded by the spread of HIV-AIDS. Focusing on this goal, and as a StopTB partner, we introduce a proposal to fight HIV/Tb, based on the following three points: - A new product - A new therapeutic approach - A scheme to allow its universal use, in particular by disadvantaged population. The new product is the immunomodulator P-MAPA which has been under development for the last 17 years by Farmabrasilis. It has already passed preclinical and pilot clinical trials. The new therapeutic approach is the reestablishment of immunocompetence of patients with infectious diseases, including those co-infected with HIV, by adjuvant immunotherapy with P-MAPA. A key aspect of this proposal is the scheme for universal use. P-MAPA is an affordable immunomodulator, obtained by a classical fungal fermentation process.No high technology needs to be involved. Farmabrasilis has developed a large-scale, low-cost production technology of P-MAPA, and is in a position to transfer the know-how to its partners, even in countries with no tradition of pharmaceutical manufacture.Furthermore, our product licensing policy includes the possibility of royalty-exempt transference of technology in the case of neglected diseases and economically disadvantaged populations.
